Human nature on the contrary can be changed with the greatest ease and to the utmost possible extent. If in this lies huge potential danger it also contains some of the brightest hopes that we have for the future of mankind. Bruce Bliven Category: Unsorted The interconnectedness of all life does not have to be an abstract concept. We can live it. It doesnt matter whether we garden indoors or outdoors; we can honor our world. It is all a prayer.

Rupert Brook Category: Unsorted Look theres no metaphysics on earth like chocolates. Fernando Pessoa Category: Unsorted Most Americans are two to four generations removed from the farm.

Henry Brooke Category: Unsorted However top lofty and idealistic a man may be he can always rationalize his right to earn money. Raymond Chandler Category: Unsorted We sometimes speak of winning reputation as though that were the final goal. The truth is contrary to this. Reputation is a reward to be sure but it is really the beginning not the end of endeavor. It should not be the signal for a let-down but rather a reminder that the standards which won recognition can never again be lowered. From him who gives much - much is forever after expected.

Ava Gardner Category: Unsorted The most troubling aspect of social policy towards the poor in late 20th century America is or how much it costs but what it has bought. Charles Murray Category: Unsorted Our emotions are the driving powers of our lives. When we are aroused emotionally unless we do something great and good we are in danger of letting our emotions become perverted. William James used to tell the story of a Russian woman who sat weeping at the tragic fate of the hero in the opera while her coachman froze to death outside. Earl Riney Category: Unsorted He that would be angry and sin not must not be angry with anything but sin. Secker Category: Unsorted Each of us wages a private battle each day between the grand fantasies we have for ourselves and what actually happens. Cathy Guisewite Category: Unsorted It is evident that most attorneys and legal scholars feel that their ethical obligation to put forth their best defense of a client is the highest principle in law. Agreed it is a high principle. However should it be a higher principle than what the system is supposed to achieve namely justice? Of course not. If the ethic of a good defense insists on obscuring or hiding truth it needs to be re-evaluated because it is then immoral. Ross Baker Category: Unsorted The teaching of any science for purposes of liberal education without linking it with social progress and teaching its social significance is a crime against the student mind. It is like teaching a child how to pronounce words but not what they mean. Vernon Carter Category: Unsorted Crazy people who are productive are geniuses. Crazy people who are rich are eccentric. Crazy people who are neither productive nor rich are just plain crazy. Geniuses and crazy people are both out in the middle of a deep ocean; geniuses swim crazy people drown. Most of us are sitting safely on the shore. Take a chance and get your feet wet. Michael J. Gelb Category: Unsorted Wanted: More Praise I cannot help believing that the world will be a better and a happier place when people are praised more and blamed less; when we utter in their hearing the good we think and also gently intimate the criticisms we hope may be of service. For the world grows smaller every day. It will be but a family circle after a while. Francis Elizabeth Willard Category: Unsorted Well do all right if we can capitalize on our mistakes. Mickey Rivers Category: Unsorted Not so in haste my heart! Have faith in God and wait; Although he linger long He never comes too late. He never comes too late He knoweth what is best: Vex not thyself in vain; Until he cometh rest. Until he cometh rest. Nor grudge the hours that roll: The feet that wait for God Are soonest at the goal. Are soonest at the goal. That is not gained by speed; Then hold thee still my heart For I shall wait his lead. Bradford Torrey Category: Unsorted Numerical superiority is of no consequence. In battle victory will go to the best tactician. General George Armstrong Custer Category: Unsorted Live your life each day as you would climb a mountain. An occasional glance toward the summit keeps the goal in mind but many beautiful scenes are to be observed from each new vantage point. Climb slowly steadily enjoying each passing moment; and the view from the summit will serve as a fitting climax for the journey. Harold V. Melchert Category: Unsorted To cleave that sea [the Aegean] in the gentle autumnal season murmuring the name of each islet is to my mind the joy most apt to transport the heart of man into paradise.

Francois Auguste Rene Rodin Category: Unsorted The gardens of my youth were fragrant gardens and it is their sweetness rather than their patterns of their furnishings that I now most clearly recall. Louise Beebe Wilder Category: Unsorted We have before us the fiendishness of business competition and the world war passion and wrongdoing antagonism between classes and moral depravity within them economic tyranny above and the slave spirit below. Karl Barth Category: Unsorted Race tensions thrive on the restricted educational opportunities for Southern Negroes. When earning power is limited or foreshortened by lack of education whole populations suffer. A potential great producing force as well as a large possible market for goods is thus being ignored. Dr. Rufus E. Clement Category: Unsorted A finely tempered nature longs to escape from the personal life into the world of objective perception and thought. Albert Einstein Category: Unsorted Make no mistake; the American Revolution was not fought to obtain freedom but to preserve the liberties that Americans already had as colonials. Independence was no conscious goal secretly nurtured in cellar or jungle by bearded conspirators but a reluctant last resort to preserve life liberty and the pursuit of happiness. Samuel Eliot Morison Category: Unsorted Science can point out dangers but science cannot turn the direction of minds and hearts. That is the province of spiritual powers within and without our very beginnings-powers that are the mysteries of life itself. Oren Lyons Category: Unsorted Im not interested in being Wonder Woman in the delivery room. Give me drugs. Requesting an epidural in advance of childbirth. Madonna Category: Unsorted A koan is simply the time and place where Truth is manifest. >From the fundamental point of view there is no time or place where Truth is not revealed: every place every day every event every thought every deed and every person is a koan. In that senses koans are neither obscure nor enigmatic. However a koan is more commonly understood as a tool for teaching true insight.

Benito Mussolini Category: Unsorted The truth is that the only key to the Christian life is the life of Christ; that the only solution to the many problems that thicken round our lives as we live them is to be found in the study of His life as He lived it; and that we shall never begin to understand what we ourselves are until we have begun to understand what He is.

Karl Friedrich Gauss Category: Unsorted No but they gave one to me anyway. Elden Campbell Category: Unsorted When I reflect that one man armed only with his own physical and moral resources was able to cause this land of Canaan to spring from the wasteland I am convinced that in spite of everything humanity is admirable. But when I compute the unfailing greatness of spirit and the tenacity of benevolence that it must have taken to achieve this result I am taken with an immense respect for that old and unlearned peasant who was able to complete a work worthy of God. [A heartwarming story about the impact of one man Elzeard Bonfire who planted trees from 1900-1946 in the area where the Alps thrust down into Province France.] Jean Goon Category: Unsorted To make ones own estate concentric with the public estate is to realize the conception of the church the conception of the university the conception of an essential democracy and the conception of a business system that will really work.

Edith Drew Category: Unsorted Oh! how near are genius and madness! Men imprison them and chain them or raise statues to them. Denis Diderot Category: Unsorted When asked what do you do when you reach a block in your writing he tersely replied: Start another paragraph. Rutherford Montgomery Category: Unsorted Broadly speaking I learned to recognize sin as the refusal to live up to the enlightenment we possess: to know the right order of values and deliberately to choose the lower ones: to know that however much these values may differ with different people at different stages of spiritual growth for ones self there must be no compromise with that which one knows to be the lower value. Margaret Bondfield Category: Unsorted We are lonely even in the milling crowds of a city where we may only be recognized as customers for goods and services. Our personalities are weakened and starved by the impersonal life in a city. That is why there is so much wreckage in a city. Our families answer this need to some degree but not completely. And so in the last analysis it is only God who can give us the comfort of utter understanding. Lyman V. Cady DD Category: Unsorted Nobody grows old by merely living a number of years people grow old only by deserting their ideals.

John Calvin Category: Unsorted Ive seen things you people wouldnt believe. Attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion. Ive watched C-beams glitter in the dark near the Tannhauser Gate. All these moments will be lost in time like tears in rain. Roy Baty Category: Unsorted A hundred years from now ... it will not matter what my bank account was the sort of house I lived in or the kind of car I drove ... but the world may be different because I was important in the life of a child.

Lady Bird Johnson Category: Unsorted There is a profound difference between information and meaning. Warren G. Bennis Category: Unsorted The essence of peace is to merge two opposites. Therefore your notions should not scare you if you see another who absolutely opposes you and you presume that there is no chance for peace between you two. On the same token when you see two individuals who are exactly two opposites never say it would be impossible for them to reconcile. On the contrary and this is the perfection of peace to make it between two opposites. Rabbi Nachman of Breslav Category: Unsorted We are the voices of the wandering wind Which moan for rest and rest can never find; Lo! as the wind is so is mortal life A moan a sigh a sob a storm a strife. Edwin Arnold Category: Unsorted Who shares his life's pure pleasures And walks the honest road Who trades with heaping measures And lifts his brother's load Who turns the wrong down bluntly And lends the right a hand He dwells in God's own country He tills the Holy Land.

First Baron Acton Category: Unsorted A professor was telling students about his colleagues class. Students in the other class had taken to tossing erasers at the clock. Each precise hit caused it to jump ahead one minute. Before class one morning they succeeded in advancing the clock by ten minutes. Since the new time indicated that the professor was beyond the accepted starting time the class left. The professor never said a word about the incident.

Negotium populo Romano melius quam otium committi Appius Claudius Category: Unsorted In Spain in the meantime Aristotelian scholar Juan Gines de Sepulveda was putting the impolitic moralizing of Las Casas into proper perspective for posterity: Compare then the blessings enjoyed by Spaniards of prudence genius magnanimity temperance humanity and religion with those of the little men [the Indians] in whom you will scarcely find even vestiges of humanity....

Juan Gines de Sepulveda Category: Unsorted The violets in the mountains have broken the rocks. Tennessee Williams Category: Unsorted Life is given for wisdom and yet we are not wise; for goodness and we are not good; for overcoming evil and evil remains; for patience and sympathy and love and yet we are fretful and hard and weak and selfish. We are keyed not to attainment but to the struggle toward it. T. T. Munger Category: Unsorted When we touch this domain we are filled with the cosmic force of life itself we sink our roots deep into the black soil and draw power and being up into ourselves. We know the energy of the numen and are saturated with power and being. We feel grounded centered in touch with the ancient and eternal rhythms of life. Power and passion well up like an artesian spring and creativity dances in celebration of life. David N. Elkins Category: Unsorted Perfectionism is really a manifestation of the belief that ones efforts are never good enough. Imagine: How many of the obstacles standing in your way are the product of your own imagination? What have you convinced yourself that you cant do? What limitations have you come to believe in? Your mind is very powerful and effective. Is it working for you or against you? Ralph Marston Category: Unsorted To Yesterdays Companionship and Tomorrows Reunion Rita Hayworth Category: Unsorted Some write their wrongs in marble: he more just Stoopd down serene and wrote them in the dust Trod under foot the sport of every wind Swept from the earth and blotted from his mind.

Susan Brownell Anthony Category: Unsorted Every Country hath its Machiavel. Sir Thomas Browne Category: Unsorted PEOPLE They range from animals to gods. They pray for you and they prey on you.

The causes of mistakes are first I didnt know; second I didnt think; third I didnt care. Henry H. Buckley Category: Unsorted Worry never robs tomorrow of its sorrow it only saps today of its joy. Leo Buscaglia Category: Unsorted If we are to understand the animals with whom we share the world we need to watch them interact with them without too much prejudice. Undestanding them we may also understand ourselves a little more. By seeing what constrains and motivates our kindred we may perhaps discover what the morals and manners of the human beasts might be. Professor Stephen L. Clark Category: Unsorted People who are knowledgeable about poetry sometimes discuss it in that knowing rather hateful way in which oenophiles talk about wine: robust delicate muscular. This has nothing to do with how most of us experience it the heart coming around the corner and unexpectedly running into the mind. Of all the words that have stuck to the ribs of my soul poetry has been the most filling. Anna Quindlen Category: Unsorted The clean tongue the clear head and the bright eye are birthrights of each day. Dr. William Osler Category: Unsorted No matter how slow the film Spirit always stands still long enough for the photographer It has chosen. Minor White Category: Unsorted I once read that if the folds in the cerebral cortex were smoothed out it would cover a card table.

Nicholas Boileau Category: Unsorted I have taught you my dear flock for above thirty years how to live and I will show you in a very short time how to die. Sir Edwin Sandys Category: Unsorted We should place confidence in our employee. Confidence is the foundation of friendship. If we give it we will receive it. Any person in a managerial position from supervisor to president who feels that his employee is not as good as he is and who suspects his employee trying to put something over on him lacks the qualities for human leadershipto say nothing of human friendship. Harry E. Humphreys Jr. Category: Unsorted It is a sobering thought that animals could do without man yet man would find it almost impossible to do without animals.

Moses Ibn Ezra Category: Unsorted We are building may splendid churches in this country but we are not providing leaders to run them. I would rather have a wooden church with a splendid parson than a splendid church with a wooden parson. Samuel Smith Drury Category: Unsorted When Harel wished to put a joke or witticism into circulation he was in the habit of connecting it with some celebrated name on the chance of reclaiming it if it took. Thus he assigned to Talleyrand in the Nain Jaune the phrase Speech was given to man to disguise his thoughts. ´Edouard Fournier Category: Unsorted In science we are really good at disproving things and are very poor at proving things. Theories like the Theory of Relativity go on and on because no one can think of anything better. Richard Zayre Category: Unsorted Without knowing oneself or examining oneself there is no point in human life. The human who refuses to do this might as well be an animal for that life form is pointless. Stephen A. Fuqua Category: Unsorted Firstly gradualness.

William Ernest Henley Category: Unsorted Let him love to-morrow who never loved before; and he as well who has loved let him love to-morrow. Cras amet qui numquam amavit; Quique amavit cras amet. Gaius Valerius Catullus Category: Unsorted As evening approached I came down from the heights of the island and I liked then to go and sit on the shingle in some secluded spot by the lake; there the noise of the waves and the movement of the water taking hold of my senses and driving all other agitation from my soul would plunge me into delicious reverie in which night often stole upon me unawares. Jean Jacques Rosseau Category: Unsorted When you find yourself locked onto an unpleasant train of thought heading for the places in your past where the screaming is unbearable remember theres always madness. Madness is the emergency exit. Alan Moore Category: Unsorted Life is too short to be unhappy in business. If business were not a part of the joy of living we might almost say that we have no right to live because it is a pretty poor man who cannot get into the line for which he is fitted. George L. Brown Category: Unsorted In the temple the Spirit of the Lord provides comfort and peace especially during moments of despair. Carol B. Thomas Category: Unsorted Last night there came a frost which has done great damage to my garden ... It is sad that nature will play such tricks with us poor mortals inviting us with sunny smiles to confide in her and then when we are entirely within her power tricking us to the heart. Nathaniel Hawthorne Category: Unsorted Life is so brief that we should not glance either to far backwards or forwards ... therefore study how to fix our happiness in our glass and in our plate. Grimod de la Reyniere Category: Unsorted Mere words are cheap and plenty enough but ideas that rouse and set multitudes thinking come as gold from the mines. A. Owen Penny Category: Unsorted A desire for bigness has hurt many folks. Putting oneself in the limelight at the expense of others is a wrong idea of greatness. The secret of greatness rather than bigness is to acclimate oneself to ones place of service and be true to ones own convictions. A life of this kind of service will forever remain the measure of ones true greatness. Richard W. Shelly Jr. Category: Unsorted I have found it impossible to carry the heavy burden of responsibility and to discharge my duties as King as I would wish to do without the help and support of the woman I love.

William Rounseville Alger Category: Unsorted Græcia Mæonidam jactet sibi Roma Maronem Anglia Miltonum jactat utrique parem (Greece boasts her Homer Rome can Virgil claim; England can either match in Miltons fame). Selvaggi Category: Unsorted There are sacred moments in life when we experience in rational and very direct ways that separation the boundary between ourselves and other people and between ourselves and Nature is illusion.

Suddenly a light descended. Brighter far than noon-day sun And a shining glorious pillar Oer him fell around him shone.

Oh what rapture filled his bosom For he saw the living God. George Manwaring Category: Unsorted TO ACHIEVE YOUR DREAMS REMEMBER YOUR ABC ' S Avoid negative sources, people, places, things and habits.

De Morgan Category: Unsorted All feelings both positive and unpleasant come out of the same faucet. To turn down the faucet on pain is to slow the flow of pleasant feelings as well. Gay & Kathlyn Hendricks Category: Unsorted Honest men esteem and value nothing so much in this world as a real friend.

Christs progress and His prayer-time; The hours to which high Heaven cloth chime. Henry Vaughan Category: Unsorted When oxygen and hydrogen find one another their joining produces fiery passion. Out of this fire water is born. Quaint Victorian chemistry gives us an image of one oxygen and two hydrogen atoms in a fixed molecule that bounces around from place to place.

Water is a substance very much in love with itself and the atoms connect in webs and clusters where oxygen shares around the hydrogen atoms freely a fluid situation indeed. Ian D.

Stuart Cloete Category: Unsorted We have heard enough about being practical and efficient and prudent. We heard it preached through several decades that these things would save the world.

Ellis Arnall Category: Unsorted In parts of the world people still pray in the streets. In this country theyre called pedestrians.

John Lord Morley Category: Unsorted September fruits are on the bough And the bright apple is king of all Red golden russet - brimming now Ripe for the picking before they fall. David Squire Category: Unsorted Obviously where art has it over life is in the matter of editing. Life can be seen to suffer from a drastic lack of editing. It stops too quick or else it goes on too long. Worse its pacing is erratic. Some chapters are little more than a few sentences in length while others stretch into volumes. Life for all its raw talent has little sense of structure. It creates amazing textures but it cant be counted on for snappy beginnings or good endings either. Indeed in many cases no ending is provided at all. Larry McMurtry Category: Unsorted Hiding leads nowhere except to more hiding. Margaret A.

Ambrose Bierce Category: Unsorted Let no one be deluded that a knowledge of the path can substitute for putting one foot in front of the other. M. C. Richards Category: Unsorted The effort of the economist is to see to picture the interplay of economic elements. The more clearly cut these elements appear in his vision the better; the more elements he can grasp and hold in his mind at once the better. The economic world is a misty region. The first explorers used unaided vision. Mathematics is the lantern by which what before was dimly visible now looms up in firm bold outlines. The old phantasmagoria disappear. We see better. We also see further. Irving Fisher Category: Unsorted Breathless we flung us on a windy hill Laughed in the sun and kissed the lovely grass.

Wendel Category: Unsorted For the cause that lacks assistance For the wrong that needs resistance For the future in the distance And the good that I can do. George Linnæus Banks Category: Unsorted A woman today lives in perpetual conflict. She cannot slay the dragon of the unconscious without severing her own essential contact with it; without in fact destroying her feminine strength and becoming a mere pseudo-man. Her task is a peculiarly difficult one. She needs the focused consciousness her animus alone can give her yet she must not forsake her woman's role of mediator to man. Through a woman man finds his soul. She must never forget this. Through a woman not through a pseudo-man. Through man woman finds the animus who can express the soul she has never lost. Her burning need is to trust her own diffuse awareness to know what she knows and to learn to speak of it for until it is expressed she does not wholly know it.

Sarah Josepha (Buell) Hale Category: Unsorted The majority of the diseases which the human family have been and still are suffering under they have created by ignorance of their own organic health and work perseveringly to tear themselves to pieces and when broken down and debilitated in body and mind send for the doctor and drug themselves to death. Ellen Gould Harmon White Category: Unsorted The old thought that one cannot be rich except at the expense of his neighbor must pass away. True prosperity adds to the richness of the whole world such as that of the man who makes two trees grow where only one grew before.

Without that vision and without the men who devote themselves to realizing that vision there can be no true American way of life. We must beware of the thoughtless men who proclaim that a particular stage of our social development or any special set of conditions is the best that progress can offer. These men would immobilize us in the great stream of history. They would let its great challenges and chances pass us by ... forgetting that the American way of life is a way of acting not a state of inactivity. C. W. De Kiewiet Category: Unsorted Once a disease has entered the body all parts which are healthy must fight it: not one alone but all. Because a disease might mean their common death. Nature knows this; and Nature attacks the disease with whatever help she can muster. Paracelsus Category: Unsorted America is the land of and for uncommon men not because it affords free choice and opportunity for people to become expert in their chosen occupations but also because it has mechanisms and incentives for providing the tools of production that the skilled must operate if their skill is to have full fruition in abundant production.

William Rose Benet Category: Unsorted An almost hysterical antagonism toward the gold standard is one issue which unites statists of all persuasions.

Margery Allingham Category: Unsorted Every mans got to figure to get beat sometime. Joe Louis Category: Unsorted At sixty a man has passed most of the reefs and whirlpools.

Nelson Mandela Category: Unsorted We need a resolute struggle against the priest whether he be called the pastor the abbot the rabbi the patriarch the mullah or the pope. At a certain stage this struggle must be transformed into the struggle against God whether he be called Jehovah Jesus Buddha or Allah. V. Stepanov Category: Unsorted There never was a man who said one word for woman but he said two for man and three for the whole human race.

Dr. Charles Henry Kempe Category: Unsorted Frasers always writing me letters and I havent got time to read them. Sir Robert David Muldoon Category: Unsorted At the bottom no one in life can help anyone else in life; this one experiences over and over in every conflict and every perplexity: that one is alone. That isnt as bad as it may first appear; and again it is the best thing in life that each should have everything in himself; his fate his future his whole expanse and world. Rainer Maria Rilke Category: Unsorted The workmanship surpassed the subject matter. Materiam superabat opus Publius Ovidius Naso Ovid Category: Unsorted I tried phone sex it gave me an ear infection.

Newcomb Category: Unsorted The gardens that make us happiest flourish because we have taken the time to make sure they feed our souls and fill a special place in our lives. Sometimes you have to think about what you really want from your garden ... once the beds are laid out and the rose bushes planted. Lindley Karstens Category: Unsorted If a man wishes to be sure of the road he treads on he must close his eyes and walk in the dark.

Tony Snow Category: Unsorted The world is full of cactus but we don't have to sit on it. Will Foley Category: Unsorted A master was explaining the nature of Tao to one of his novices. The Tao is embodied in all software regardless of how insignificant said the master. Is Tao in a hand-held calculator? asked the novice. It is came the reply. Is the Tao in a video game? continued the novice. It is even in a video game said the master. And is the Tao in the DOS for a personal computer? The master coughed and shifted his position slightly. The lesson is over for today he said. Geoffrey James Category: Unsorted He who owns a garden However small it be Whose hands have planted in it Flower or bush or tree; He who watches patiently The growth from nurtured sod Who thrills at newly opened bloom Is very close to God.

Thomas Kennedy Category: Unsorted Grammar is the logic of speech even as logic is the grammar of reason. Trench Category: Unsorted In his capacity as an American citizen each man of our Craft will do what seems to him wise and just and right and to the best interest of his country; but let us hope and pray that no echo of angry debate may be heard in any Lodge of Masons ... lest we injure what is priceless.... By the same token the men who stand out in our history to whom we pay the highest homage are the men of personality principle and ideals who combining sympathy and good will with unbending loyalty to great truths defied the cynical spirit and wrought disinterestedly for the common good. By as much as Masonry creates such men and endows them with moral ideals by so much does it render its highest service to the country and the Craft. Joseph Fort Newton Category: Unsorted The Bee Story I want to share something with you. A few days ago I was stopped at a large busy intersection waiting for a long light.

Joannes Scotus Erigena Category: Unsorted True greatness is the most ready to recognize and most willing to obey those simple outward laws which have been sanctioned by the experience of mankind. James Anthony Froude Category: Unsorted We cannot go ahead without leaving something behind. Lemuel K. Washburn Category: Unsorted Watching a peaceful death of a human being reminds us of a falling star; one of a million lights in a vast sky that flares up for a brief moment only to disappear into the endless night forever. Elisabeth Kuebler-Ross Category: Unsorted Knowledge increases in proportion to its use -that is the more we teach the more we learn. H. P. Blavatsky Category: Unsorted We must remember that even though a person may not be the elect today a year from now his whole attitude may have changed and he may have become one of the elect. Thats why we should continually throughout their lives politely give people many opportunities to hear the Lords voice. Franklin D. Richards Category: Unsorted This is the greatest wealth we possess: to know how to direct our labors rightly. Brigham Young Category: Unsorted Many love music but for musics sake Many because her touches can awake Thoughts that repose within the breast half-dead And rise to follow where she loves to lead. What various feelings come from days gone by! What tears from far-off sources dim the eye! Few when light fingers with sweet voices play And melodies swell pause and melt away Mind how at every touch at every tone A spark of life hath glistened and hath gone. Walter Savage Landor Category: Unsorted Want and sorrow are the wages that folly earns for itself and they are generally paid. Christian Schubart Category: Unsorted Trust each other again and again.

David Armistead Category: Unsorted When the beginnings of self destruction enter the heart it seems no bigger than a grain of sand. John Cheever Category: Unsorted Universities hire professors the way some men choose wives they want the ones the others will admire. Morris Kline Category: Unsorted The surplus wealth we have gained to some extent at least belongs to our fellow beings; we are only the temporary custodians of our fortunes and let us be careful that no just complaint can be made against our stewardship. Jacob H. Schiff Category: Unsorted The wheels of nature are not meant to roll backward; everything presses on toward Eternityfrom the birth of Time an impetuous current has set in which bears all the sons of men toward that interminable ocean. Robert Hall Category: Unsorted How could such sweet and wholesome hours Be reckoned but with herbs and flowers? Andrew Marvel Category: Unsorted Why do you fret for tomorrow? Why are you heavy with care Wrapping your heart in sorrow A garment too somber to wear? Faith has a brighter color Home has a rainbow hue And trust links them both together In a background of heavenly blue. You can weave these lovely colors Into a garment so light It will penetrate every shadow And shine through the darkest night. God will take care of tomorrow With him each tomorrow must rest – And we hold this a sure conviction When we give each today our best! Beverly Enderby Kimzey Category: Unsorted The noblest workers of this world bequeath us nothing so great as the image of themselves. Their task be it ever so glorious is historical and transient but the majesty of their spirit is essential and eternal. George Brown Category: Unsorted There is little room left for wisdom when one is full of judgment. Malcolm Hein Category: Unsorted True education makes for inequality; the inequality of individuality the inequality of success the glorious inequality of talent of genius; for inequality not mediocrity individual superiority not standardization is the measure of the progress of the world. Felix E. Schelling Category: Unsorted The paleontological evidence before us today clearly demonstrates ordered progressive change with the successive development of new faunal and floral assemblages through the changing epochs of our earths history. There should be no real conflict between science which is the search for truth and Christs teachings which I hold to be truth itself. It is only when scientists remove God from creation that the Christian is faced with an irreconcilable situation. Wendell Phillips Category: Unsorted People very rarely think in groups; they talk together they exchange information they adjudicate they make compromises. But they do not think; they do not create. William H. Whyte Jr. Category: Unsorted Love is an egotism of two. Henri La Salle Category: Unsorted The Australian knows lifes short.

David Ireland Category: Unsorted Cruelty is the vice most natural to dullness of mind. H.W. Nevinson Category: Unsorted There was once a young man who said God Must think it exceedingly odd If he finds that this tree Continues to be When there's no one about in the Quad.' Ronald Arbuthnot Knox Category: Unsorted Killing an animal to make a coat is a sin. It wasnt meant to be and we have no right to do it. A woman gains status when she refuses to see anything killed to be put on her back. Then shes truly beautiful! Doris Day Category: Unsorted This age thinks better of a gilded fool Than of a threadbare saint in wisdoms school. Thomas Dekker Category: Unsorted Getters generally don't get happiness; givers get it. You simply give to others a bit of yourself a thoughtful act a helpful idea a word of appreciation a lift over a rough spot a sense of understanding a timely suggestion. You take something out of your mind garnished in kindness out of your heart and put it into the other fellows mind and heart. Charles H. Burr Category: Unsorted [Scientific enterprise] is usually conceived as being made up of four main kinds of interrelated activities: gathering data finding parsimonious descriptions of the data formulating explanatory theories and testing the theories. Sometimes the second category (description) and third (explanation) are merged. (note that they do not consider new data measuring devices among other things) LangleySimonBradshaw and Zytkow Category: Unsorted If youre bored with life you don't get up every morning with a burning desire to do things you don't have enough goals. Lou Holtz Category: Unsorted 'Tis a lesson you should heed Try try again. If at first you don't succeed Try try again. William Edward Hickson Category: Unsorted I sin if I submit to the indignities that are hurled at me. I am a guardian of the divine and it is my duty to defend it. Chief Albert John Luthuli Category: Unsorted Ours is a youth culture and like a golf tournament we honor only low scores. William Henry Bill Cosby Jr. Ed.D. Category: Unsorted Test pilots have a litmus test for evaluating problems. When something goes wrong they ask Is this thing still flying? If the answer is yes then theres no immediate danger no need to overreact. Alan L. Bean Category: Unsorted Machines will never be able to give the thinking process a model of thought itself since machines are not mortal. What gives humans access to the symbolic domain of value and meaning is the fact that we die. Regis Debray Category: Unsorted If we could make a great bonfire of the thousands of laws we have in this country and start all over again with only the Golden Rule and the Ten Commandments I am sure we would get along much better. Coleman Cox Category: Unsorted The control of large numbers is possible and like unto that of small numbers if we subdivide them. Sun Tze Ping Fa. Sun Tze Category: Unsorted If Thomas Jefferson had heard us he probably would have said We shouldnt have free speech. Robin Quivers Category: Unsorted I havent got time to be tired. Wilhelm I Category: Unsorted 'Who dares this pair of boots displace Must meet Bombastes face to face.' Thus do I challenge the human race. Bombastes: So have I heard on Afric's burning shore A hungry lion give a grievous roar; The grievous roar echo'd along the shore. King: So have I heard on Afric's burning shore Another lion give a grievous roar And the first lion thought the last a bore. William Barnes Rhodes Category: Unsorted Man offers himself to God. He stands before Him like the canvas before the painter or the marble before the sculptor. At the same time he asks for His grace expresses his needs and those of his brothers in suffering. Such a type of prayer demands complete renovation. The modest the ignorant and the poor are more capable of this self-denial than the rich and the intellectual. Dr. Alexis Carrel Category: Unsorted If your outgo exceeds your income then your upkeep will be your downfall. Bill Earle Category: Unsorted The way a young man spends his evenings is a part of that thin area between success and failure. Robert R. Young Category: Unsorted The Constitution of America only guarantees pursuit of happiness you have to catch up with it yourself. Fortunately happiness is something that depends not on position but on disposition and life is what you make it. Gill Robb Wilson Category: Unsorted Thoroughly to know oneself is above all art for it is the highest art. Theologia Germanica Category: Unsorted Money is good love is wealth. Doug Horton Category: Unsorted Democracy is something we must always be working at. It is a process never finished never ending. And each new height gained opens broader vistas for the future. Thus it has been as one looks back over the sweep of history; thus it must continue to be if democracy is to continue as a working tool in the hands of free men. Edmund de S. Brunner Category: Unsorted You are sitting on the earth and you realize that this earth deserves you and you deserve this earth. You are there - fully personally genuinely. Chogyam Trungpa Category: Unsorted Cruelty to animals is the degrading attitude of paganism. Cardinal Hinsley Category: Unsorted The motto should not be: Forgive one another; rather understand one another. Emma Goldman Category: Unsorted The philosopher who said that work well done never needs doing over never weeded a garden. Ray D. Everson Category: Unsorted I think the first virtue is to restrain the tongue; he approaches nearest to gods who knows how to be silent even though he is in the right. Marcus Porcius Cato Category: Unsorted If anyone thinks he has no responsibilities it is because he has not sought them out. Mary Lyon Category: Unsorted We cannot have peace among men whose hearts find delight in killing any living creature. Rachel Louise Carson Category: Unsorted We look out from the shadows on through future years For the soul would have no rainbow had the eyes no tears John Vance Cheney Category: Unsorted I don't care about money I just want to be wonderful. Marilyn Monroe Category: Unsorted Women like a man who is tall dark and has some. William J. Meehan Category: Unsorted My dad gave me a dollar bill Cause Im his smartest son And I swapped it for two shiny quarters Cause two is more than one! .... And the fool gave me five pennies for them And five is more than four! And then I went and showed my dad And he got red in the cheeks And closed his eyes and shook his head Too proud of me to speak! Shel Silverstein Category: Unsorted Nothing inspires confidence in a business man sooner than punctuality nor is there any habit which sooner saps his reputation than that of being always behind time. W. Mathews Category: Unsorted Summer fall winter spring The seasons rotate as each brings its special beauty to this earth of ours. Winters snow and Summers flowers Frozen rivers will flow come spring There is a renewal of everything. Edna Frohock Category: Unsorted The paradox is really the pathos of intellectual life and just as only great souls are exposed to passions it is only the great thinker who is exposed to what I call paradoxes which are ... grandiose thoughts in embryo. Soren Aabye Kierkegaard Category: Unsorted Young men make great mistakes in life; for one thing they idealize love too much. Benjamin Jowett Category: Unsorted You make what seems a simple choice: choose a spouse or a job or a neighborhood- and what you have chosen is not a spouse or a job or a neighborhood but a life. Jessamyn West Category: Unsorted As parents we have the responsibility to prepare our sons to be worthy and to have a desire to serve the Lord. We are stewards of those sons held in reserve for this day. H. Bryan Richards Category: Unsorted The American family is not simply changing; it is getting weaker.... Family decline drives some of our most urgent social problems.... The heart of the family problem lies in the steady breakup of the two-parent home. David Popenoe Category: Unsorted I am so fascinated with this century it will help keep me alive. Ill be there until the last minute fighting. Berenice Abbott Category: Unsorted Besides the practical knowledge which defeat offers there are important personality profits to be taken. Defeat strips away false values and makes you realize what you really want. It stops you from chasing butterflies and puts you to work digging gold. William Moulton Marston Category: Unsorted The true harbinger of spring is not crocuses or swallows returning to Capistrano but the sound of the bat on the ball. Bill Veeck Category: Unsorted God never promises exemption. He does promise companionship which is better. He does not promise do deliver you or me or any other individual from pain sorrow or economic disaster but He does give assurance the He will help us through and that there will be compensations. I will not leave you comfortless I will come to you. These are the words of Jesus. Daniel A. Poling Category: Unsorted Pessimism is the one ism which kills the soul. John Buchan Category: Unsorted Truth is. Belief is not required. Gerry Roston Category: Unsorted The garden should be adorned with roses and lilies the turnsole violets and mandrake; there you should have parsley cost fennel southern–wood coriander sage savory hyssop mint rue dittany smallage pellitory lettuces garden–cress and peonies. There should also be beds planted with onions leeks garlic pumpkins and shallots. The cucumber growing in its lap the drowsy poppy the daffodil and brank–ursine ennoble a garden. Nor are there wanting if occasion further thee pottage–herbs: beets herb–mercury orache sorrel and mallows anise mustard white pepper and wormwood do good service to the gardener. Alexander of Neckham (or Necham) Category: Unsorted One who is at peace can draw good from everything. Gerhard Groote Category: Unsorted I suppose we acquire most of our feelings about our bodies too early and in ways too complicated to make them easy to account for. Charis Wilson Category: Unsorted A tax-supported compulsory educational system is the complete model of the totalitarian state. Isabel Paterson Category: Unsorted Many kinds of religion are available some not even skin deep some mad and unsubstantial some as harmless as the rouge on the skin of a spinster. A good bit of religion today seems shallow. It does not seem to matter except behind stained glass windows on Sunday morning. It is not dishonest religion so much as restricted religion meaning it does not serve the purpose a way of thinking for a special time and a special place. It answers a thousand questions we have not asked and by its supposed sacred customs smothers the questions we might ask or die. For the truth is that our world is both hungry for faith and sick of it.. Samuel Miller Category: Unsorted Kind of gets you thinking doesnt it? Tony Hudson Category: Unsorted We are stardust we are golden and weve got to get ourselves back to the garden.

Robert South Category: Unsorted Not a drum was heard not a funeral note As his corpse to the rampart we hurried. Charles Wolfe Category: Unsorted What the wise do in the beginning fools do in the end. Warren Buffett Category: Unsorted The man who builds a factory builds a temple; the man who works there worships there; and to each is due not scorn and blame but reverence and praise. Calvin Coolidgc Category: Unsorted True it is that many find some of the speech on the Internet to be offensive and amid the din of cyberspace many hear discordant voices that they regard as indecent. The absence of governmental regulation of Internet content has unquestionably produced a kind of chaos but as one of plaintiffs' experts put it with such resonance at the hearing: What achieved success was the very chaos that the Internet is. The strength of the Internet is that chaos. Just as the strength of the Internet is chaos so the strength of our liberty depends upon the chaos and cacophony of the unfettered speech the First Amendment protects. For these reasons I without hesitation hold that the [Communications Decency Act] is unconstitutional on its face. Judge Stewart Dalzell Category: Unsorted There was a young lady named Bright Whose speed was far faster than light: She set out one day In a relative way And returned home the previous night. Arthur Buller Category: Unsorted With courage you will dare to take risks have the strength to be compassionate and the wisdom to be humble. Courage is the foundation of intergrity. Keshavan Nair Category: Unsorted I can say the Lords prayer in 10 seconds. Evel Knievel Category: Unsorted People help each other through a crisis by each supposing that the other can handle it better than he himself can. Frank A. Clark Category: Unsorted Unless man in the midst of all his modernism finds a middle ground upon which to adjust his differences there can be no mutual progress human liberty is sacrificed and talent and freewill suffer. Improvement of the standards of living of the whole people is paramount if civilization is to escape world fanaticism. Arnold W. Craft Category: Unsorted Prayers for the condemned man will be offered on an adding machine. Numbers constitute the only universal language. Nathanael West Category: Unsorted But whether the Constitution really be one thing or another this much is certain that it has either authorized such a government as we have had or has been powerless to prevent it. Lysander Spooner Category: Unsorted First things first but not necessarily in that order. Doctor Who Category: Unsorted Einstein twenty-six years old only three years away from crude privation still a patent examiner published in the Annalen der Physik in 1905 five papers on entirely different subjects. Three of them were among the greatest in the history of physics. O Charles Percy Snow Category: Unsorted What was paradise? But a garden an orchard of trees and herbs. Full of pleasure and nothing there but delights. William Lawson Category: Unsorted Smoking kills. If youre killed youve lost a very important part of your life. Brooke Shields Category: Unsorted I see the situation as follows. There are various philosophical views mutually incompatible which cannot be dismissed or simply rejected. Philosophys output is the basketful of these admissible views all together. One delimiting strategy would be to modify and shave these views capturing what is true in each to make them compatible parts of one new view. This book puts forward its explanations in a very tentative spirit; not only do I not ask you to believe that they are correct I do not think it important for me to believe them correct either. Still I do believe and hope you will find it so that these proposed explanations are illuminating and worth considering that they are worth surpassing; also that the process of seeking and elaborating explanations being open to new possibilities the new wonderings and wanderings the free explanation is itself a delight. Robert Nozick Category: Unsorted History must repeat itself because we pay such little attention to it the first time. Blackie Sherrod Category: Unsorted It is true that when we take chances we stand to lose. But it is also true that we will never win anything if we never even enter the game. Lucky people are aware of the possibility of losing and indeed they may lose often. But since the chances they take are small the losses tend to be small. By being willing to accept small losses they put themselves in position to make large gains. Max Gunther Category: Unsorted Anything that dims my vision for Christ or takes away my taste for Bible study or cramps me in my prayer life or makes Christian work difficult is wrong for me; and I must as a Christian turn away from it. J. Wilbur Chapman Category: Unsorted The future is like the daytime moon a diffident but faithful companion so elegant as to be almost invisible an inconspicuous marvel.

Viscount Horatio Nelson Category: Unsorted The light of friendship is like the light of phosphorous seen plainest when all is dark. Robert Crowell Category: Unsorted Whenever youre in conflict with someone there is one factor that can make the difference between damaging your relationship and deepening it. That factor is attitude. Timothy Bentley Category: Unsorted General Turgidson rants about the tremendous overkill potential of the nuclear offensive while minimizing the Soviet retaliatory counter-attack casualty statistics: Mr. President Im not saying we wouldnt get our hair mussed but I do say no more than ten to twenty million killed tops uh depending on the breaks. George C. Scott Category: Unsorted The devil is an angel too. Miguel de Unamuno Category: Unsorted To us is given the honor of striking a blow for freedom which will live in history and in the better days that lie ahead men will speak with pride of our doings. 1st Viscount Sir Bernard Law Montgomery of Alamein Category: Unsorted The day I see a leaf is a marvel of a day. Kenneth Patton Category: Unsorted Anybody can be a heart specialist. The only requirement is loving somebody.

Lichty & Wagner Category: Unsorted People are much more alike inside than they are on the surface. Verne Burnett Category: Unsorted Thinking not growth makes manhood. Accustom yourself therefore to thinking. Set yourself to understand whatever you see or read. To join thinking with reading is one of the first maxims and one of the easiest operations. Isaac Taylor Category: Unsorted The quickest and shortest way to crush whatever laurels you have won is for you to rest on them. Donald P. Jones Category: Unsorted It is the duty of each one of us to be a holy woman. We shall have elevated aims if we are holy women. Eliza Roxey Snow Category: Unsorted Socialism with a human face. Alexander Dubcek Category: Unsorted America... where law and custom alike Are based upon the dreams of spinsters. Russell Bertrand Category: Unsorted Sorry about this. I know its a bit silly. HAL 9000 Category: Unsorted A little disrespect is not a bad thing. Skepticism is essential to chasten what Walt Whitman called the never-ending audacity of elected persons. But carried too far ridicule of the people we choose to govern us may undermine self government itself. Arthur Meier Schlesinger Jr. Category: Unsorted The word 'listen' contains the same letters as the word 'silent.' Alfred Brendel Category: Unsorted As stewards of God we must be truly appreciative of the things we receive. One has said that Ingratitude is a crime more despicable than revenge which is only returning evil for evil while ingratitude returns evil for good. You remember that of the ten lepers healed by Christ only one returned to give thanks. A beautiful legend tells the story of two angels that were sent forth throughout the land each given a basket one to gather up requests and the other thanksgivings. The angel of requests came back with her basket running over full. The angel of thanksgivings came back with her basket practically empty. So it is in life. It seems that all have requests to make but few of us think to return and give thanks. Heber Q. Hale Category: Unsorted No mans faith no mans religion no religion in all the world can ever rise above the truth. Gordon B. Hinckley Category: Unsorted Children when they ask you why your mama so funny say she is a poet she don't have no sense Lucille Clifton Category: Unsorted Brody cannot believe the size of the creature and with a classic practical understatement tells Quint his assessment: Youre gonna need a bigger boat.

Arnett Category: Unsorted There must appear a spiritual and moral leadership rising above economic and political situations.

For His charity extends over just men and sinners. Catherine of Siena Category: Unsorted Worry is evidence of an ill-controlled brain; it is merely a stupid waste of time in unpleasantness.

Helen MacInnes Category: Unsorted Although every flower may possess secondarily its own specific symbolism for all that flowers generally are symbols of the passive principle.

Arthur Benjamin Category: Unsorted In questions of this sort there are two things to be observed. First that the truth of the Scriptures be inviolably maintained. Secondly since Scripture doth admit of diverse interpretations that no one cling to any particular exposition with such pertinacity that if what he supposed to be the teaching of Scripture should afterward turn out to be clearly false he should nevertheless still presume to put it forward lest thereby the sacred Scriptures should be exposed to the derision of unbelievers and the way of salvation should be closed to them. Saint Thomas Aquinas Category: Unsorted I tell my students to get two plants one alive and one plastic. As time goes on the students tell me that the plastic plant is pretty but that It doesnt call to me it doesnt say Water me. or See if Ive changed since last night see if I have a new leaf. The students become involved with the living plant. It keeps pulling to them and they care about it. They nurture it but they don't want to force it.

Dr. James Bryant Conant Category: Unsorted The Myth of the Angry White Male What has sprung up is a strange kind of thinking.... Americans are unhappy with their lot. They are feeling insecure layoffs and corporate downsizing have made their future uncertain. Stirred up by talk radio the theory goes large numbers of formerly sensible people have embraced hate and extremism. Most of these according to the media are white guys.

Henri Matisse Category: Unsorted The great truths of human life do not spring new born to each new generation. They derive from long experience. They are the gathered wisdom of the race.

Fox Category: Unsorted The Kingdom is to be in the midst of your enemies. And he who will not suffer this does not want to be of the Kingdom of Christ; he wants to be among friends to sit among roses and lilies not with the bad people but the devout people.

Melvin Hammond Category: Unsorted Aggressiveness is the principal guarantor of survival.

Henry Ford II Category: Unsorted Nothing is really lost. It's just where it doesn't belong. Suzanne Mueller Category: Unsorted We visited your temple an inspired work of God! And felt that he was with us as through the grounds we trod.

She seated herself in the gallery; a table and the book laid before her. I kept my distance till she called me to ask some questions about the mosaic paper work and as I stood before Her Majesty the King set a chair behind me.

Bertrand Russell Category: Unsorted Everyone rises to their level of incompetence. Dr. Lawrence J. Peter Category: Unsorted The mere lapse of years is not life. To eat to drink and sleep; to be exposed to darkness and the light; to pace around in the mill of habit and turn thought into an instrument of tradethis is not life.

For example one persons list of ten favorite sounds: a distant train whistle; a mother talking to her new baby; the scrunch of leaves on a bright autumn day; seagulls crying; a hound baying in the woods at night; the absolute silence of a mountain lake at sunset; a crackling fire on a bitter day; a stadium crowd singing the national anthem; the screech of an airplanes tires as they touch down; his wifes voice at morning. Try the exercise for favorite sounds smells or sights. You may learn something about yourself. FRANK W.

Rodney Dangerfield Category: Unsorted No citizen of this nation is worthy of the name unless he bears unswerving loyalty to the system under which he lives the system that gives him more benefits than any other system yet devised by man.

John Gould Fletcher Category: Unsorted For want of self-restraint many men are engaged all their lives in fighting with difficulties of their own making and rendering success impossible by their own cross-grained ungentleness; whilst others it may be much less gifted make their way and achieve success by simple patience equanimity and self-control.

Sophocles Category: Unsorted Governments like docks go from the motion men give them and as governments are made and moved by men so by them they are ruined also. Therefore governments depend upon men rather then men upon governments. William Penn Category: Unsorted If a thing isnt worth saying you sing it. Pierre Augustin Caron de Beaumarchais Category: Unsorted Don't aim for success. If you want it; just do what you love and believe in, and it will come naturally.

Adolf Hitler Category: Unsorted Out of the chill and the shadow Into the thrill and the shine; Out of the dearth and the famine Into the fullness divine. Margaret Sangster Category: Unsorted I do not know what the cat can have eaten. Usually I know exactly what the cat has eaten. Not only have I fed it to the cat at the cats insistence but the cat has thrown it up on the rug and someone has tracked it all over on to the other rug. I do not know why cats are such habitual vomiters. They do not seem to enjoy it judging by the sounds they make while doing it. Its their nature. A dog is going to bark. A cat is going to vomit. Roy Blount Jr. Category: Unsorted We are all mad at some time or another. Battista Mantuanus Category: Unsorted Faith is like a pare of glasses I bring here and there with me The thrilling thing about them is the wondrous things I see. When life grows dark and dismal I don my magic glasses; the perspective soon grows fine. If I slip on this treasure I can toil with greater ease. Troubles and afflictions at length begin to please; The world become all rosy and as cheery as can be; I surely feel most grateful for the faith God gave to me. Perhaps you once had glasses but by faith no longer life Friend ask God for his pardon he is kind and will forgive; O cherish this dear treasure till you meet God up above then present faith as an offering with the gifts of hope and love. Sister Mary Gemma Brunke Category: Unsorted Better guide the young than reclaim them when old For the voice of true wisdom is calling To rescue the fallen is good but tis best To prevent other people from falling Better close up the source of temptation and crime Than deliver from dungeon or gallery Better put a strong fence round the top of the cliff Than an ambulance down in the valley. Joseph Malins Category: Unsorted What therefore God hath joined together let not man put asunder.

Robert Brustein Category: Unsorted They came to the Delectable Mountains. John Bunyan Category: Unsorted No one can be completely relaxed. Like a wind-up clock a person cant tick without some tension. John Raudonis Category: Unsorted Wind weather power load gradually these elements stop churning in my mind. Its less a decision of logic than a feeling the kind of feeling that comes when you gauge the distance to be jumped between two stones across a brook. Something within you disengages itself from your body and travels ahead with your vision to make the test. You can feel it try the jump as you stand looking. Then uncertainty gives way to the conviction that it can or cant be done. Charles A. Lindbergh Jr. Category: Unsorted I'm like a child trying to do everything say everything and be everything all at once. John Hartford Category: Unsorted A woman should say: Have I made him happy? Is he satisfied? Does he love me more than he loved me before? Is he likely to go to bed with another woman? If he does then its the wifes fault because she is not trying to make him happy. Barbara Cartland Category: Unsorted Each day of your life as soon as you open your eyes in the morning you can square away for a happy and successful day. Its the mood and the purpose at the inception of each day that are the important facts in charting your course for the day. We can always square away for a fresh start no matter what the past has been. Its today that is the paramount problem always. Yesterday is but history.

W. John Murray Category: Unsorted We live and learn but not the wiser grow. Pomfret Category: Unsorted The proudest monarch that ever wore a crown or the most illustrious commander whose fortune it has been to subjugate empires are melted into contrition when she who nursed the incipient fires of his mortal existence is passing from earth to be hidden fr Lyman Littlefield Category: Unsorted You cant be a Real Country unless you have a BEER and an airline.

Jim Fiebig Category: Unsorted Have I the right to keep my faith said a student inquirer at the price of my intellectual integrity? The answer would have to be that the faith which is kept at such a price is not faith at all. Alexander Mille Category: Unsorted The Defense of Fort McHenry September 20 1814 by Francis Scott Key Oh say can you see by the dawns early light What so proudly we hailed at the twilights last gleaming? Whose broad stripes and bright stars through the perilous fight Oer the ram Francis Scott Key Category: Unsorted This is the hand that wrote it and therefore it shall suffer first punishment. Thomas Cranmer Category: Unsorted Native Americans all over the U.S. and Canada use a term they call the Three Sisters to describe the Native American way of life through the gardening technique of planting corn beans and squash together on the same mound. These Three Sisters corn beans and squash supplement and compliment each other. The vines of the bean plant grow up the corn stalk. The huge leaves of the squash vines keep the ground moist for all of the roots. The nutritious vitamins from each of the plants escapes into the soil so that they each benefit from one another. Deborah Champlain Category: Unsorted A man is so in the way in the house. Elizabeth Gaskell Category: Unsorted TO THOSE WHO WOULD USE INTELLIGENCE IN THE BATTLE AGAINST DEATH TO STRENGTHEN THE WILL TO LIVE AGAINST THE WISH TO DIE AND TO REPLACE WITH LOVE THE BLIND COMPULSION TO GIVE HOSTAGES TO HATRED AS THE PRICE OF LIVING. Karl Augustus Menninger Category: Unsorted Theres something about me that makes a lot of people want to throw up. Pat Boone Category: Unsorted In the deep unwritten wisdom of life there are many things to be learned that cannot be taught. We never know them by hearing them spoken but we grow into them by experience and recognize them through understanding. Understanding is a great experience in itself but it does not come through instruction. Anthony Hope Category: Unsorted Pseudonym of Christina Georgina Rossetti Ellen Alleyne Category: Unsorted The real Simon Pure. Susannah Centlivre Category: Unsorted Few things concentrate the mind more efficiently than the necessity of saying what you mean. It brings you face to face with what you are talking about what you are actually proposing. It gets you away from the catch phrases that not merely substitute for thought but preclude it. Edwin Newman Category: Unsorted Of all created things the source is one Simple single as love; remember The cell and seed of life the sphere That is of child white bird and small blue dragon-fly Green fern and the gold four-petalled tormentilla The ultimate memory. Each latent cell puts out a future Unfolds its differing complexity As a tree puts forth leaves and spins a fate Fern-traced bird feathered or fish-scaled.

Knight Ridder Category: Unsorted If Number rules the universe as Pythagoras asserted Number is merely our delegate to the throne for we rule Number. Eric Temple Bell Category: Unsorted Romanticism may not inaccurately be described as a conviction that the world is an Englischer Garten on a grand scale. The God of the seventeenth century like its gardeners always geometrized; the God of Romanticism was one in whose universe things grew wild and without trimming and in all the rich diversity of their natural shapes. The preference for irregularity the aversion from that which is wholly intellectualized ... which were eventually to invade the intellectual life of Europe at all points made their first modern appearance on a grand scale in the eighteenth century in the form of the new fashion in pleasure gardens. Arthur O. Lovejoy Category: Unsorted That which happens to the soil when it ceases to be cultivated happens to man himself when he foolishly forsakes society for solitude; the brambles grow up in his desert heart. Antoine de Rivaroli Category: Unsorted Some people are very earnest after the things of God and he who seeks finds and the more he seeks in the right direction the more he finds. He that is dilatory in searching after the things of God obtains but little; he that is diligent obtains much. All may receive it but they must obtain it in the way that God has appointed all receiving their measure according to their diligence and desire; but the spirit is the same. Charles W. Penrose Category: Unsorted Don't just do your bestget the job done! Stan Watts Category: Unsorted The simplest things give me ideas. Joan Miro Category: Unsorted I hearI forget I seeI learn I doI understand. Gennady V. Oster Category: Unsorted Not now but in the coming years It may be in the better land Well read the meaning of our tears And then ah then well understand. Well catch the broken threads again And finish what we here began; Heaven will the mysteries explain And then ah then well understand. Well know why clouds instead of sun Were over many a cherished plan Why song has ceased when scarce begun; Tis there sometime well understand. Why what we long for most of all Eludes so oft our eager hand Why hopes are crushed and castles fall Up there sometime well understand. God knows the way; he holds the key; He guides us with unerring hand; Sometimes with tearless eyes well see Yes there up there well understand. Then trust in God through all thy days; Fear not for he cloth hold thy hand; Though dark thy way still sing and praise Sometime sometime well understand. Maxwell N. Cornelius Category: Unsorted Set your target and keep trying until you reach it. Napoleon Hill Category: Unsorted Recipe for greatness To bear up under loss to fight the bitterness of defeat and the weakness of grief to be victor over anger to smile when tears are close to resist evil men and base instincts to hate hate and to love love to go on when it would seem good to die to seek ever after the glory and the dream to look up with unquenchable faith in something evermore about to be that is what any man can do and so be great. Zane Grey Category: Unsorted Rock of Ages cleft for me Let me hide myself in thee. A. M. Toplady Category: Unsorted When you find yourself overpowered as it were by melancholy the best way is to go out and do something kind to somebody or other. Keble Category: Unsorted Winning has a joy and discrete purity to it that cannot be replaced by anything else. A. Bartlett Giamatti Category: Unsorted It takes more time and effort and delicacy to learn the silence of a people than to learn its sounds. Some people have a special gift for this. Perhaps this explains why some missionaries notwithstanding their efforts never come to speak properly to communicate delicately through silences. Although they speak with the accent of natives they remain forever thousands of miles away. The learning of the grammar of silence is an art much more difficult to learn than the grammar of sounds. Ivan Illich Category: Unsorted For the cause that lacks The wrong that needs resistance For the future in the distance And the good that I can do. George Banks Category: Unsorted Progress involves risks. You cant steal second with your foot on first. Fred Wilcox Category: Unsorted The social fabric of a well-established nation is tough stuff. It can be pulled around and stretched a considerable distance before it breaks. But when the final rupture comes the damage done is beyond repair. H. W. Prentis Jr. Category: Unsorted There came a man in days of old To hire a piece of land for gold And urged his suit in accents meek One crop alone is all I seek; That harvest o'er my claim I yield And to its lord resign the field. The owner some misgivings felt And coldly with Lydia H. Sigoteney Category: Unsorted The human body is not an instrument to be used but a realm of ones being to be experienced explored enriched and thereby educated. Thomas Hanna Category: Unsorted There is a vast difference in some instances between what we really need and that which we think we must have and the realization of this truth will greatly lessen the seeming discomfort in doing without. William M. Peck Category: Unsorted Anything Ive ever done that ultimately was worthwhile ... initially scared me to death. Betty Bender Category: Unsorted I start drawing and eventually the characters involve themselves in a situation. Then in the end I go back and try to cut out most of the preachments. Theodore Seuss Doctor Seuss Geisel Category: Unsorted Serve the dinner backward eo anything but for goodness sake do something weird. Elsa Maxwell Category: Unsorted Lord for tomorrow and its needs I do not pray; Keep me my God from stain of sin Just for today. Sister Mary Xavier Category: Unsorted To tell the truth we all lie. Some small fibs some tall tales and some like the President get caught Fred Francis Category: Unsorted The way we love inevitably defeats the ends of love. Defeat in love engulfs our whole personality. Elizabeth Rapaport Category: Unsorted The Church rightly conceived is the whole covenant people called to serve in the world. The clergy are also part of the laity and their true function is to help equip the laity to be the Servant People. If they turn aside to rule and to secure their own status they have betrayed the calling of the special ministry. Franklin H. Littell Category: Unsorted Nothing tends so much to the advancement of knowledge as the application of a new instrument. The native intellectual powers of men in different times are not so much the causes of the different success of their labours as the peculiar nature of the means and artificial resources in their possession. Sir Humphrey Davy Category: Unsorted People look at you and me to see what they are suppose to be. And if we don't disappoint them maybe just maybe they wont disappoint us. Walter Elias Disney Category: Unsorted There are few of us so blind as not to realize that unless the moral force of religious conviction impels the goal of truth and lasting international cooperation cannot be attained; there are few of us who do not appreciate the vital truth of the words If God does not build the house those who build it build in vain. Sumner Welles Category: Unsorted The conqueror and king in each of us is the ... Knower of truth.... Let that Knower awaken in us and drive the horses of the mind emotions and physical body on the pathway which that king has chosen. George S. Arundale Category: Unsorted Through music I either tame my demons or unleash them and allow them to be what they are. I don't want the music to be about provocation I want the music to bring you to a place where you feel at home Michael Franti Category: Unsorted Tell me O Muse of the skillful man Virum mihi Camena insece versutum Livius Andronicus Category: Unsorted Ho! why dost thou shiver and shake Gaffer Grey? And why does thy nose look so blue? Thomas Holcroft Category: Unsorted I think that to have known one good old manone man who through the chances and mischances of a long life has carried his heart in his hand like a palm-branch waving all discords into peacehelps our faith in God in ourselves and in each other more than many sermons George William Curtis Category: Unsorted Any man will usually get from other men just what he is expecting of them. If he is looking for friendship he will likely receive it. If his attitude is that of indifference it will beget indifference. And if a man is looking for a fight he will in all likelihood be accommodated in that. Men can be stimulated to show off their good qualities to the leader who seems to think they have good qualities. John Richelsen Category: Unsorted The mathematic then is an art. As such it has its styles and style periods. It is not as the layman and the philosopher (who is in this matter a layman too) imagine substantially unalterable but subject like every art to unnoticed changes form epoch to epoch. The development of the great arts ought never to be treated without an (assuredly not unprofitable) side-glance at contemporary mathematics. Oswald Spengler Category: Unsorted To give pain is the tyranny; to make happy the true empire of beauty. Richard Steele Category: Unsorted A gossip is someone whos the knife of the party. Morris Bender Category: Unsorted Will we listen to Satan the author of all lies ... ? Or are we going to believe a loving Heavenly Father who is the source of all truth and righteousness? Richard C. Edgley Category: Unsorted We have come to think of art and work as incompatible or at least independent categories and have for the first time in history created an industry without art. Ananda K. Coomaraswamy Category: Unsorted ... the public must learn how to cherish the nobler and rarer plants and to plant the aloe able to wait a hundred years for its bloom or its garden will contain presently nothing but potatoes and pot-herbs. Margaret Fuller Category: Unsorted How desperately difficult it is to be honest with oneself. It is much easier to be honest with other people. Edward Frederic Benson Category: Unsorted For me the problem of induction is a problem about the world: a problem of how we as we are now (by our present scientific lights) in a world we never made should stand better than random or coin-tossing chances changes of coming out right when we predict by inductions.... Willard Van Orman Quine Category: Unsorted Forgiveness is a gift of high value. Yet its cost is nothing. Betty Smith Category: Unsorted Home to 90 per cent of Australians is a Sydney or Melbourne slum or a decayed mining town or the wide and dreamy bush yet they talk glibly of England as Home. George Meudell Category: Unsorted Sometimes just a smile on our face can help to make this world a better place. Robert Alan Category: Unsorted No man is responsible for his father. That was entirely his mothers affair. Maraget Turnbull Category: Unsorted Dishonor will not trouble me once I am dead. Euripides Category: Unsorted If you live your life with your head up your a** youll always experience the same old s**t. Adrienne Gusoff Category: Unsorted Our greatest opportunities for advancing productivity and improving living standards are to be found in the field of human relationships. Having achieved a better understanding of each other and their common responsibility to consumers and investors both management and labor should do all in their power to educate the American public to understanding of the simple economic facts that underlie our industrial and business relationships. Louis Ruthenburg Category: Unsorted If we listen to the voices of the world we will be misled. But if we listen to the voice of the Lord through His living prophet and follow his counsel we will never go astray. Virginia U. Jensen Category: Unsorted I have often thought that the best way to define a man's character would be to seek out the particular mental or moral attitude in which when it came upon him he felt himself most deeply and intensely active and alive. At such moments there is a voice inside which speaks and says: This is the real me! William James Category: Unsorted I didnt know how babies were made until I was pregnant with my fourth child. Loretta Lynn Category: Unsorted That which is useless dies. Animals that fail to serve some useful purpose in the scheme of things slowly but surely become extinct. Let any part of the human body cease to perform its ordained function and it withersas when an arm is kept long in a sling. This same decree that nothing useless is permitted to survive runs through the mind of the industrial world. B. C. Forbes Category: Unsorted Dialogue is the melody of a story. Milton Segal Category: Unsorted To reflect is to disturb ones thoughts. Jean Rostand Category: Unsorted There are plenty of reasons for hope. There need be no war with Russia and those who would fight her now on the theory that we had better do it and get it over with are lightheaded promoters of world destruction. Dr. Harold W. Dodds Category: Unsorted Although we all possess the seeds of great love and compassion without the light of the enlightened ones wisdom and the waters of their compassion these seeds would never spout. Philip Kapleau Category: Unsorted Gardening takes a plot of land a hoe and willing muscles. Scratching the soil harvesting garden fruits are peaceful results. With a garden there is hope. Grace Firth Category: Unsorted Failure seems to be regarded as the one unpardonable crime success as the all-redeeming virtue the acquisition of wealth as the single worthy aim of life. The hair-raising revelations of skullduggery and grand-scale thievery merely incite others to surpass by yet bolder outrages and more corrupt combinations.

Konstantinos Gavras Category: Unsorted It is one of the strange ironies of this strange life that those who work the hardest who subject themselves to the strictest discipline who give up certain pleasurable things in order to achieve a goal are the happiest men. When you see 20 or 30 men line up for a distance race in some meet don't pity them don't feel sorry for them. Better envy them instead. Brutus Hamilton Category: Unsorted The writers only responsibility is to his art. He will be completely ruthless if he is a good one. He has a dream. It anguishes him so much he must get rid of it. He has no peace until then. Everything goes by the board: honor pride decency security happiness all to get the book written. If a writer has to rob his mother he will not hesitate; the Ode on a Grecian Urn is worth any number of old ladies. William Faulkner Category: Unsorted I take my wife everywhere I go. She always finds her way back. Henny Youngman Category: Unsorted Attaching significance to invariants is an effort to recognize what because of its form or colour or meaning or otherwise is important or significant in what is only trivial or ephemeral. A simple instance of failing in this is provided by the poll-man at Cambridge who learned perfectly how to factorize a^2 - b^2 but was floored because the examiner unkindly asked for the factors of p^2 - q^2. H.W. Turnbull Category: Unsorted Nature abhors a vacuity Especially in perpetuity She finds her felicity In asymmetricity And notices no incongruity. Jim Clatfelter Category: Unsorted Faith is not like a deed to a house in which one may live with full rights of possession. It is more like a kit of tools with which a man may build him a house. The tools will be worth just what he does with them. When he lays them down they will have no value until he takes them up again. Lloyd Cassel Douglas Category: Unsorted Here we find the moat of thieves. And just as a lizard with a quick slick slither Flicks across the highway from hedge to hedge Fleeter than a flash in the battering dog-day weather A fiery little monster livid in a rage Black as any peppercorn came and made a dart At the guts of the others and leaping to engage One of the pair it pierced him at the part Through which we first draw food; then loosed its grip And fell before him outstretched and apart.

It may be for years and it may be forever; Oh why art thou silent thou voice of my heart? Julia Crawford Category: Unsorted I end with a word on the new symbols which I have employed. Most writers on logic strongly object to all symbols... I should advise the reader not to make up his mind on this point until he has well weighed two facts which nobody disputes both separately and in connexion. First logic is the only science which has made no progress since the revival of letters; secondly logic is the only science which has produced no growth of symbols.

Ezra Taft Benson Category: Unsorted Unless the secret of inward peace is also the secret of escape from fear it does not meet a need I believe is almost the central need of mankind.

Brandeis Category: Unsorted EARTH LIFE with its joys and sorrows is a necessary part of our eternal existence. Its purposes are to prepare us to return to the presence of our Heavenly Father and to provide the way whereby we may receive a fulness of joy. Alma P. Burton Category: Unsorted Individualism as a definition of holding to personal ideals is classed as obstinacy and anti-social. Inevitably we run point blank into the evils of compromise. When compromise enters our moral fibre it spreads like a cancerous growth. We think we plan adequate safeguards around areas in which we contemplate yielding our standards but once we lower the fence and break our strong will to do right come what may we expose ourselves to forces that spread beyond control. Compromise always starts on some rather insignificant principle. The dangers of yielding seem negligible and we usually risk those things first where observation and detection by others is difficult. We thus seek to avoid censure and discipline. In a short time we find ourselves trading our principles for false values and doing it in the black market of human relationships.... Ralph W. Hardy Category: Unsorted It's in the kitchen that confidences are exchanged that family life takes place; it's among the remains of a meal or when your're elbow-deep in peelings that you ask yourself what life is all about rather than when you're sunk in an armchair in the sitting room.

Collins Category: Unsorted His epitaph: This tomb hold Diophantus Ah what a marvel! And the tomb tells scientifically the measure of his life. God vouchsafed that he should be a boy for the sixth part of his life; when a twelfth was added his cheeks acquired a beard; He kindled for him the light of marriage after a seventh and in the fifth year after his marriage He granted him a son. Alas! late-begotten and miserable child when he had reached the measure of half his fathers life the chill grave took him. After consoling his grief by this science of numbers for four years he reached the end of his life. Diophantus Category: Unsorted As for me I would rather Be a worm in a wild apple than a son of man. Robinson JEFFERS Category: Unsorted Rabbits have a habit of coming for breakfast and staying for lunch. Now theres one leaf instead of a bunch. Gerry Krueger Category: Unsorted The glory dies not and the grief is past. Samuel Egerton Brydges Category: Unsorted Nature in the garden is nature tamed cultivated made subservient to human purpose brought into subjection to conscious purpose. A garden is not merely a piece of nature fenced in near the house like a wolf chained at the back door; but nature cultivated and trained like a dog tamed and trained for human ends. Art in the garden is the human element appropriating and elevating the natural for human purpose. Abram Linwood Urban Category: Unsorted Every job has drudgery whether it is in the home in the professional school or in the office. The first secret of happiness is the recognition of this fundamental fact. M. C. McIntosh Category: Unsorted If all the good people were clever And all the clever people were good The world would be nicer than ever We thought that it possibly could. But somehow tis seldom or ner The two hit it off as they should The good are so harsh to the clever The clever so rude to the good! Elizabeth Wordsworth Category: Unsorted We need justice. We need toleration honesty and moral courage. These are modern virtues without which we cannot hope to control the forces science has let loose among us. I. A. R. Wylie Category: Unsorted I am fevered with the sunset I am fretful with the bay For the wander-thirst is on me And my soul is in Cathay. Richard Hovey Category: Unsorted Never fight fair with a stranger boy. Youll never get out of the jungle that way. Arthur Miller Category: Unsorted In every principle presented to us our first inquiry should be Is it true? Does it emanate from God? If he is its Author it can be sustained just as much as any other truth in natural philosophy; if false it should be opposed and exposed just as much as any other error. John Taylor Category: Unsorted This trend [emphasizing applied mathematics over pure mathematics] will make the queen of the sciences into the quean of the sciences.

Leon Wood Category: Unsorted Our way of living together in America is a strong but delicate fabric. It is made up of many threads. It has been woven over many centuries by the patience and sacrifice of countless liberty-loving men and women. It serves as a cloak for the protection of poor and rich of black and white of Jew and Gentile of foreign and native born. Let us not tear it asunder. For no man knows once it is destroyed where or when man will find its protective warmth again. Wendell Lewis Willkie Category: Unsorted Bring on your tear gas bring on your grenades your new supplies of Mace your state troopers and even your national guards. But let the record show we aint going to be turned around. Ralph Abernathy Category: Unsorted The holder of a monopoly is a sinner and an offender. Prophet Muhammad Category: Unsorted [We] must lead out in sanctifying this appointed day each week. H. Aldrich Gillespie Category: Unsorted I feel strongly that women need to have the kind of education that allows them a number of options.... Knowing that I have my [law] degree enhances my sense of self-worth which is something we all need. Lisa Ramsey Adams Category: Unsorted Without consistency there is no moral strength. Owen Category: Unsorted There was thunder There was lightning Then the stars went out And the moon fell from the sky. Tom Waits Category: Unsorted Im struck by the insidious computer–driven tendency to take things out of the domain of muscular activity and put them into the domain of mental activity. The transfer is not paying off. Sure muscles are unreliable but they represent several million years of accumulated finesse. Brian Eno Category: Unsorted Distinguished actor loving husband and father. Always in our hearts. Peter Finch Category: Unsorted Personally I have nothing against work particularly when performed quietly and unobtrusively by someone else. Barbara Ehrenreich Category: Unsorted Man must work. That is certain as the sun. But he may work grudgingly or he may work gratefully; he may work as a man or he may work as a machine. There is no work so rude that he may not exalt it; no work so impassive that he may not breathe a soul into it; no work so dull that he may not enliven it. Henry Giles Category: Unsorted To call in the statistician after the experiment is done may be no more than asking hm to perform a postmortem examination: he may be able to say what the experiment died of. Ronald Aylmer Fisher Category: Unsorted Do you expect to marry? teased Mrs. Pinkhurst. In the dim distant future maybe; but thats on the lap of the Gods ... meanwhile whether or not I intend to take up some work and succeed at it!

Feibleman Category: Unsorted By idolizing those whom we honor we do a disservice both to them and to ourselves.... We fail to recognize that we could go and do likewise. Charles V. Willie Category: Unsorted Even where Congress has the authority under the Constitution to pass laws requiring or prohibiting certain acts it lacks the power directly to compel the States to require or prohibit those acts.

Laurence Housman Category: Unsorted The more honesty a man has the less he affects the air of a saint. Johann Kaspar Lavater Category: Unsorted The one self-knowledge worth having is to know ones own mind. Francis Herbert Bradley Category: Unsorted When the moon shall have faded out from the sky and the sun shall shine at noonday a dull cherry red and the seas shall be frozen over and the icecap shall have crept downward to the equator from either pole ... when all the cities shall have long been dead and crumbled into dust and all life shall be on the last verge of extinction on this globe; then on a bit of lichen growing on the bald rocks beside the eternal snows of Panama shall be seated a tiny insect preening its antennae in the glow of the worn-out sun the sole survivor of animal life on this our earth a melancholy bug. William Jacob Holland Category: Unsorted I have always found thick woods a little intimidating for they are so secret and enclosed. You may seem alone but you are not for there are always eyes watching you.

Thalassa Cruso Category: Unsorted You cant sit on the lid of progress. If you do you will be blown to pieces. Henry Kaiser Category: Unsorted I do not scorn weeds. As a matter of fact there are some instances where they are necessary for the garden. The question of property is decided by the dialogue between man and weed. Shimpei Kusano Category: Unsorted Here a contemporary and putative correspondent of Columbus takes the spherical earth for granted...I therefore send to His Majesty a chart drawn by my own hand upon which is laid out the western coast from Ireland on the north to the end of Guinea and the islands which lie on that route in front of which directly to the west is shown the beginning of the Indies... And do not marvel at my calling west the regions where the spices grow although they are commonly called east; because whoever sails westward will always find those lands in the west while one who goes overland to the east will always find the same lands in the east. Paolo dal Pozzo Toscanelli Category: Unsorted True magic therefore is the high knowledge of the more subtle powers that have not yet been acknowledged by science up to this date because the methods of scrutiny that have been applied so far do not suffice for their grasping understanding and utilization although the laws of magic are analogous to all official sciences of the world. Franz Bardon Category: Unsorted The mathematician carried along on his flood of symbols dealing apparently with purely formal truths may still reach results of endless importance for our description of the physical universe. Karl Pearson Category: Unsorted I have a right to my anger and I don't want anybody telling me I shouldnt be that its not nice to be and that somethings wrong with me because I get angry. Maxine Waters Category: Unsorted Romance is about the little things. Gregory J. Godeck Category: Unsorted Three things too much and three too little are pernicious to man; to speak much and know little; to spend much and have little; to presume much and be worth little. Miguel de Cervantes Saavedra Category: Unsorted People seldom want to walk over you until you lie down. Elmer Wheeler Category: Unsorted The parent can train the natures of children to remain fast while their habits change through the years.

Hugh MacDiarmid Category: Unsorted The mark of a successful organization isnt whether or not they have problems its whether it has the same problems it had last year. John Foster Dules Category: Unsorted There are no words that can be spoken to shatter the darkness. What is left is silence and the dawn must creep at its own pace as we wait. There are no words for how we feel. The silence of the night is the only thing that captures it and dawn the only thing to set it free. So we wait.... Karla Jameson Category: Unsorted Guard within yourself that treasure kindness. Know how to give without hesitation how to lose without regret how to acquire without meanness. George Sand Category: Unsorted Programs that pay farmers not to farm often devastate rural areas. The reductions hurt everyone from fertilizer companies to tractor salesmen. Dick Armey Category: Unsorted The boss drives his men; the leader coaches them. The boss depends upon authority; the leader on good will. The boss inspires fear; the leader inspires enthusiasm. The boss says I; the leader we. The boss fixes the blame for the breakdown; the leader fixes the breakdown. The boss says go; the leader says lets go! Gordon Selfridge Category: Unsorted In Prison Wearily drearily Half the day long Flap the great banners High over the stone; Strangely and eerily Sounds the winds song Bending the banner-poles. While all alone Watching the loopholes spark Lie I with life all dark Feet tethered hands fettered Fast to the stone The grim walls square lettered With prisoned mens groan. Still strain the banner-poles Through the winds song Westward the banner rolls Over my wrong. William Morris Category: Unsorted When Zarathustra was alone ... he said to his heart: Could it be possible! This old saint in the forest hath not yet heard of it that God is dead!

George Chapman Category: Unsorted Whatever we plant in our subconscious mind and nourish with repetition and emotion will one day become a reality Earl Nightingale Category: Unsorted By doing good with his money a man as it were stamps the image of God upon it and makes it pass current for the merchandise of heaven. J. Rutledge Category: Unsorted Power dressing is combat gear for the trip to the top. Valerie Steele Category: Unsorted All some folks want is their fair share and yours. Arnold H. Glasow Category: Unsorted My ambition is to do a good job. I never plan anything. Ilie Nastase Category: Unsorted The God created in the faith manifests Himself no longer in order to impose Himself on the faithful but in order to express His limits for these limits are the condition which makes possible one among the many divine epiphanies. The gnostic does not receive a ready-made Image of his Lord but understands Him in the light of the Image which in the course of his manajat his intimate dialogue appears in the mirror of his heart as subtle organ. Abu Bakr Muhammad Ibn al-`Arabi Category: Unsorted Whats really important in life? Sitting on a beach? Looking at television eight hours a day? I think we have to appreciate that were alive for only a limited period of time and well spend most of our lives working. That being the case I believe one of the most important priorities is to do whatever we do as well as we can. We should take pride in that. Victor Kiam Category: Unsorted If you cant measure it you cant manage it. George Odiorne Category: Unsorted America is just the country that shows all the written guarantees in the world for freedom are no protection against tyranny and oppression of the worst kind. There the politician has come to be looked upon as the very scum of society. Prince Peter Alekseevich Kropotkin Category: Unsorted No person has the right to rain on your dreams. Marian Wright Edelman Category: Unsorted I think the main culprit is modernity itself. Modernity and beauty simply don't mix. Pragmatism and an industrial-sized busyness denigrate everything that cant squeeze out of a calculator. And the first thing to die under such circumstances is a passion for beauty. For those trying desperately to jump over moving hurdles pursuing beauty is just foolishness.... We just don't have the time for poetry; beauty isnt useful we say until were in our eighties when many finally reflect and realize that beauty was truly essential to a good life that has now slipped by. Douglas Jones Category: Unsorted There was never a war on poverty. Maybe there was a skirmish on poverty.

Thomas Traherne Category: Unsorted God is working His purpose out as year succeeds to year God is working His purpose out and the time is drawing near Nearer and nearer draws the time the time that shall surely be When the earth shall be filled with the glory of God as the waters cover A. C. Ainger Category: Unsorted There is an Eye that never sleeps Beneath the wind of night. There is an ear that never shuts When sinks the beams of light.

R. A. Dickson Category: Unsorted Careless of waste wallowing in refuse exterminating the enemies ... despising age denying human natural history fabricating pseudotraditions swamped in the repeated personal crises of the aging preadolescent; all are familiar images of American society.

Mary Howitt Category: Unsorted There is nothing like the first hot days of spring when the gardener stops wondering if its too soon to plant the dahlias and starts wondering if its too late.

For the garden is the stage on which the gardener exults and agonizes out every crest and chasm of the heart. Henry Mitchell Category: Unsorted I think capital punishment works great.

Woodson Category: Unsorted Ripe vegetables were magic to me. Unharvested the garden bristled with possibility.

Tobias Smollett Category: Unsorted The world has different owners at sunrise ... Even your own garden does not belong to you.

Anne Morrow Lindbergh Category: Unsorted That God once loved a garden we learn in Holy writ. And seeing gardens in the Spring I well can credit it. Winifred Mary Letts Category: Unsorted ... He had by now divested himself of schoolboy attitudes. He was unburdened by the desire to be a martyr or a hero. Any thoughts in that direction Belgica effectively had quashed. Heroism in the corrupt sense of the age almost by definition meant wanton self-sacrifice and bungling. For neither had he any taste. He wanted rational attainment; victory but not at any price. No point upon the globe was worth the cost of a single life. Roland Huntford Category: Unsorted Freedom is the recognition of necessity.

You may not smile because you are cheerful; but if you will force yourself to smile you'll end up laughing. You will be cheerful because you smile. Repeated experiments prove that when man assumes the facial expression of a given mental moodany given mood then that mental mood itself will follow. Kenneth Goode Category: Unsorted I would not like it if Germans did such a thing gladly. But the conscience was in no way impaired for they were soldiers who had to carry out every order unconditionally.

I tremble to know that for me he was crucified That for me a sinner he suffered he bled and died. Refrain: Oh it is wonderful that he should care for me enough to die for me! Oh it is wonderful wonderful to me! I marvel that he would descend from his throne divine To rescue a soul so rebellious and proud as mine That he should extend his great love unto such as I Sufficient to own to redeem and to justify. I think of his hands pierced and bleeding to pay the debt! Such mercy such love and devotion can I forget? No no I will praise and adore at the mercy seat Until at the glorified throne I kneel at his feet. Charles H. Gabriel Category: Unsorted If we want more brotherhood and goodwill more intelligence more clear thinking more honesty and sincerity more tolerance and human understanding we must concentrate upon cultivating these qualities within ourselves.

Felix Frankfurter Category: Unsorted The best remedy for a short temper is a long walk. Jacqueline Schiff Category: Unsorted Drop drop slow tears and bathe those beauteous feet Which brought from heaven the news and prince of peace.

No matter what the truth is. Hold on to what is yours. Yes Category: Unsorted I am a romantic but I do put up a barrier around myself so it is hard for people to get in and to know the real me. I fall in love much too quickly and that results in me getting badly hurt. The problem with love is that you lose control and that is a very vulnerable state to be in. I would love to really have a beautiful relationship with somebody but it never seems to work out. What I would like most of all is to be in a state of blissful love. Freddie Mercury Category: Unsorted My employer uses twenty-six years of my life for every year I get to keep. And what do I get in return for the enormous thing I am giving?

Tho nations may combat and wars thunders rattle No more on thy steed wilt thou sweep oer the plain: Thou sleepst thy last sleep thou hast fought thy last battle No sound can awake thee to glory again. Leonard Heath Category: Unsorted If you lead a country like Britain a strong country a country which has taken a lead in world affairs in good times and in bad a country that is always reliable then you have to have a touch of iron about you. Margaret Hilda Thatcher Category: Unsorted The vision must be followed by the venture. It is not enough to stare up the steps we must step up the stairs. Vance Havner Category: Unsorted Someone has said that a friend is a bank of credit on which we can draw supplies of confidence counsel sympathy help and love. And that is true for if you have a genuine friend you possess riches greater than silver or gold. Which of course brings us to the other side of the question: Are you and am I the kind of friend that others can treasure? Esther Baldwin York Category: Unsorted My centre is giving way my right is in retreat; situation excellent. I shall attack. Marechal Ferdinand Foch Category: Unsorted Honesty is the best policy A dollar saved is a dollar earned Look before you leap A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush The laborer is worthy of his hire may be scoffed at by some intellectuals as trite copybook rules but nonetheless they sum up the elementary experience of the race in creating and consuming wealth.... People may change their minds as often as their coats and new sets of rules of conduct may be written every week but the fact remains that human nature has not changed and does not change that inherent human beliefs stay the same; the fundamental rules of human conduct continue to hold.

Robert Boyle Category: Unsorted See Lord my coat hangs in tatters like homespun old thread? All that I had all my strength I have given in hard work and kept nothing back for myself.

John McCain Category: Unsorted Anger doesnt win games Gary Beban Category: Unsorted No matter how thin you slice it its still baloney. Alfred Emanuel Smith Category: Unsorted Its a warm wind the west wind full of birds cries. John Edward Masefield Category: Unsorted People tend to think Im always aggressive and strong. The truth is Ive always been wracked with self-loathing which leads me into terrible self paralysing depressions. When I go down to this place I feel so empty and overwhelmed I can barely move. But perversely I find these traits in a man unacceptable I cant stand someone who can out-depress me. You know that scene in Babe where the farmer clog-dances for the pig? Sometimes Im the sick pig and I need a farmer to cheer me up. And when things get bad my boyfriend does dance for me and it never fails to make me laugh. Hes a pretty snappy dancer. Shirley Manson Category: Unsorted We are not very pleased when we are forced to accept a mathematical truth by virtue of a complicated chain of formal conclusions and computations which we traverse blindly link by link feeling our way by touch. We want first an overview of the aim and of the road; we want to understand the idea of the proof the deeper context. Hermann Weyl Category: Unsorted The Net interprets censorship as damage ... and routes around it. John Gilmore Category: Unsorted Democracy encourages the majority to decide things about which the majority is blissfully ignorant.

Jean-Paul Sartre Category: Unsorted True religion is the life we live not the creed we profess and some day will be recognized by quality and quantity and not by brand. J. F. Wright Category: Unsorted Psychologically I should say that a person becomes an adult at the point when he produces more than he consumes or earns more than he spends. This may be at the age of eighteen twenty-five or thirty-five. Some people remain unproductive and dependent children forever and therefore intellectually and emotionally immature. Henry C. Link Category: Unsorted Major social movements... eventually fade into the landscape not because they have diminished but because they have become a permanent part of our perceptions and experience.

Christopher Marlowe Category: Unsorted The night is my companion and solitude my guide Sarah McLaughlin Category: Unsorted On average 50%–70% of summer household water is used outdoors for watering lawns and gardens ... mow the lawn perfectly but neglect to make the bed? Its pure unadulterated logic. Everyone can see the yard – nobody can see the bed. The lawn is the canvas upon which guys judge each other. Its the great redeemer.

Alfred Dunhill Category: Unsorted Drinking water neither makes a man sick nor in debt nor his wife a widow. John Neale Category: Unsorted Work is ... becoming suffused with leisure values.... Executives on an expense account hardly know whether they are at leisure or at work; they assume it must be the latter since they are getting paid for what they do. The same executives pushed into some time-consuming civic activity have only the somewhat melancholy reassurance of receiving no compensation to testify to this being leisure.

Lyall Watson Category: Unsorted So they were turning after all those cameras. Life which can be strangely merciful had taken pity on Norma Desmond. The dream she had clung to so desperately had enfolded her. Norma: You see this is my life. It always will be!

Wanda Loveridge Category: Unsorted I would no more teach children military training than teach them arson robbery or assassination. Eugene Victor Debs Category: Unsorted It is an experiment worth trying to be alone and to be quiet for a brief period every day. Under city conditions it may be difficult to carry out but most of us could do it if we tried. At any rate we should moderate the pace at which we are living.

Johannes Kepler Category: Unsorted All Englishmen are more or less idiots whom three years Colonial experience may possibly redeem. Edward H. Canney Category: Unsorted Organismic awareness is what we – on the Ego Level – ordinarily but clumsily refer to as seeing touching tasting smelling and hearing. But in its very purest form this sensual awareness is non–symbolic non–conceptual momentary consciousness. Organismic awareness is awareness of the Present only you cant taste the past smell the past see the past touch the past or hear the past. Neither can you taste smell see touch or hear the future. In other words organismic consciousness is properly timeless and being timeless it is essentially spaceless. Just as organismic awareness knows no past or future it knows no inside or outside no self or other. Thus pure organismic consciousness participates fully in the non–dual awareness called Absolute Subjectivity.

Apollonius Category: Unsorted Sometimes I'm so clear I realize how great my confusion is. D. H. Category: Unsorted The wind-blown leaves turn Dancing the golden sunlight across the tired floor. Matt Dimmic Category: Unsorted It seems to me that the thing that makes the theater worthwhile is the fact that it attracts so many people with ideas who are constantly trying to share them with the public. Real art is illumination. It gives a man an idea he never had before or lights up ideas that were formless or only lurking in the shadows of his mind. It adds stature to life.

Grant Category: Unsorted Geometry enlightens the intellect and sets ones mind right. All of its proofs are very clear and orderly.

Doug Williams Category: Unsorted [Alan Bergs] memory haunts many people even those who never heard him on the radio because his death could be read as a message: Be cautious be prudent be bland never push anybody never say what you really think offer yourself as a hostage to the weirdos even before they make the first move. These days a lot of people are opposed to the newfound popularity of trash television and no doubt they are right and the hosts of these shows are shameless controversy-mongers.

Gender makes a difference. Ethnicity makes a difference. Acting as if they don't will create more problems than it will solve James Jones Category: Unsorted Herein is not only a great vanity but a great contempt of God's good gifts that the sweetness of man's breath being a good gift of God should be willfully corrupted by this stinking smoke. James I of England Category: Unsorted I pray for no more youth To perish before its prime; That Revenge and iron-heated War May fade with all that has gone before Into the night of time.

Aeschylus Category: Unsorted I have always liked bird dogs better than kennel-fed dogs myself you know one that will get out and hunt for food rather than sit on his fanny and yell. Charles Erwin Wilson Category: Unsorted The sins of the fathers are often visited upon the sons-in-law. Joan Kiser Category: Unsorted Real joy and happiness come from living in such a way that our Heavenly Father will be pleased with us. … One cannot break God's commandments and be happy. We should remember the scripture Wickedness never was happiness W. Eugene Hansen Category: Unsorted What we perceive as reality in the so-called outer world is literally a reflection of and therefore secondary in importance to the inner workings of our own consciousness.

Blackwell Category: Unsorted I have a secret passion for mercy... but justice is what keeps happening to people. Kenneth Millar Category: Unsorted My God have mercy on my soul and on poor people. William I Category: Unsorted Good repute is water carried in a sieve. Lalleswari Category: Unsorted Surely life is more than eating and drinking more than buying and selling more than getting and spending more than the cultivation of the mind and a healthy body. It is the widening of our horizon the broadening of our vision the reaching out to eternal realities the discipline of self until we can truly say I live yet not I but Christ liveth in me. E. Clowes Chorley DD Category: Unsorted Speech was made to open man to man and not to hide him; to promote commerce and not betray it.

It appears he had been to England as servant to some squatters family. But fancy an aboriginal stating he had been home. A. J. Campbell Category: Unsorted The problem with property is that it takes so much of your time. Willem de Kooning Category: Unsorted His work The Pasture features cast bronze cows in Torontos financial district I wanted to remind stockbrokers what real stock is. Joe Fafard Category: Unsorted Movement is a medicine for creating change in a persons physical emotional and mental states. Carol Welch Category: Unsorted I hope I have a little talent but a lot of it was luck. I went through setbacks. People said I looked too young people said I wasnt good nobody said Come here baby were going to make you a star. Early on when Id say Can I do some anchoring? people would look at me like I was crazy. Katie Couric Category: Unsorted Whether he admits it or not a man has been brought up to look at money as a sign of his virility a symbol of his power a bigger phallic symbol than a Porsche. Victoria Billings Category: Unsorted Part of the down-to-earthness that made the pioneers succeed was expressed in a sentence: It takes pretty good [people] to get along with water ditches in a dry time and not quarrel. George A. Smith Category: Unsorted Build a little fence of trust around today Fill the space with loving deeds and therein stay; Look not through the sheltering bars upon tomorrow God will help thee bear what come of joy or sorrow. Butts Category: Unsorted Anyone who wants to understand me must first understand Russell Kansas. It is my home where my roots lie and a constant source of strength. My fathers view of the world as stewers versus doers registered early. From my neighbors I learned to feel deeply for God country and family. In Russell I came to understand there are things worth living for and if need be dying for. The Russell of my youth was not a place of wealth. Yet it was generous with the values that would shape my outlook and the compassion that would restore lifes richness after I had begun to doubt my future following the war. Ever since I have tried in my own way to give back some of what the town has given me. I have tried to defend and serve the America I learned to love in Russell. Robert 'Bob' Dole Category: Unsorted Never fear big long words. Big long words mean little things. All big things have little names Such as life and death peace and war Or dawn day night hope love home. Learn to use little words in a big way. It is hard to do But they say what you mean. When you don't know what you mean Use big words That often fools little people. Arthur Kudner Category: Unsorted Be open to all teachers And all teachings And listen with your heart. Ram Dass Category: Unsorted In his enthusiasm the evangelist often finds it difficult seriously to imagine that anyone could be called not to be an evangelist. The man of vision and imagination finds it difficult to see the value of those who do no more than plod on faithfully along a well-tried road. The man whose concern is in personal dealing with people and leading them to understand God better finds it difficult to be patient with the theologian or the Christian philosopher whose work is in the quiet of a book-lined study. Yet the truth is that the wholeness which God is working to achieve is never complete in an individual but through individuals living together as one body each supplying the deficiencies of the others. J. B. Phillips Category: Unsorted Jealousy is like a hot pepper. Use it mildly and you add spice to the relationship. Use too much of it and it can burn. Ayala M. Pines Category: Unsorted The citizen does not so much vote for a candidate as make a psychological purchase of him. Joe McGinnis Category: Unsorted You already know enough to go to hell. David A. Christensen Category: Unsorted How vain is learning unless intelligence go with it. Joannes STOBAEUS Category: Unsorted A short term view will lead to a partial and perhaps twisted view of the whole picture. A crucial element may be missing. We may not be running the entire race. A friend of mine described a colleague as great at running the ninety-five yard dash. That is a distinction I can do without. Lacking the last five yards makes the first ninety-five pointless. In fact serious runners thing of it as a 110 yard dash so that no one will best them in the last few yards. Youve got to think beyond the whole. Max DuPree Category: Unsorted The unity of Christendom is not a luxury but a necessity. The world will go limping until Christs prayer that all may be one is answered. We must have unity not at all costs but at all risks. A unified Church is the only offering we dare present to the coming Christ for in it alone will He find room to dwell. Charles Henry Brent Category: Unsorted Nation shall speak peace unto nation. Montague John Rendall Category: Unsorted I am become death shatterer of worlds. Julius Robert Oppenheimer Category: Unsorted Number theorists are like lotus-eaters -- having once tasted of this food they can never give it up. Leopold Kronecker Category: Unsorted Writing is a form of therapy. Sometimes I wonder how all those who do not write compose or paint can manage to escape the madness the melancholia the panic fear which is inherent in the human situation. Henry Graham Greene Category: Unsorted Everybody wants sympathy but nobody wants people feeling sorry for them. Beryl Pfizer Category: Unsorted Call time out when you need help and ask the Coach for help. Don't wait. Do it when you need it. Paul H. Dunn Category: Unsorted If dogs are not there it is not heaven. Elisabeth M. Thomas Category: Unsorted To throw in a fair game at Hazards only three-spots when something great is at stake or some business is the hazard is a natural occurrence and deserves to be so deemed; and even when they come up the same way for a second time if the throw be repeated. If the third and fourth plays are the same surely there is occasion for suspicion on the part of a prudent man. Girolamo Cardano Category: Unsorted Genius is nothing but continued attention. Claude Adrien Helvetius Category: Unsorted If you see yourself as prosperous you will be. If you see yourself as continually hard up that is exactly what you will be. Robert Collier Category: Unsorted Few women and fewer men have enough character to be idle. E.V. Lucas Category: Unsorted When we were growing up years ago in our sleepy Southern town most of the adults seemed rather staid and sober. There was however one memorable exception: Miss Lucy a widow lady who lived with her prim and proper sister Clara. But Miss Lucy was full Arthur Gordon Category: Unsorted If bread is the first necessity of life recreation is a close second. Edward Bellamy Category: Unsorted To feel the right emotions is fully as important as to hold the right ideas and the great service of religion is the development of the right emotions. Geoffrey Parsons Category: Unsorted Happiness is a stock that doubles in a year. Ira U. Cobleigh Category: Unsorted Look to make your course regular that men may know beforehand what they may expect. Francis Bacon Category: Unsorted Tell everybody I said Thanks. Dick Roe Category: Unsorted Principle particularly moral principle can never be a weathervane spinning around this way and that with the shifting winds of expediency. Moral principle is a compass forever fixed and forever trueand that is as important in business as it is in the classroom. Edward R. Lyman Category: Unsorted People spend too much time finding other people to blame too much energy finding excuses for not being what they are capable of being and not enough energy putting themselves on the line growing out of the past and getting on with their lives. J. Michael Straczynski Category: Unsorted If people are allowed to love life then they should also be allowed to hate it Brian Fox Category: Unsorted Farewell to Lochaber farewell to my Jean Where heartsome wi thee I hae mony days been; For Lochaber no more Lochaber no more We ll maybe return to Lochaber no more. Allan Ramsay Category: Unsorted A Call for Revolution 1993 Libertarianism is rejected by the modern left which preaches individualism but practices collectivism. Capitalism is rejected by the modern right which preaches enterprise but practices protectionism. The libertarian faith in the mind of man is rejected by religionists who have faith only in the sins of man.... The libertarian insistence that each man is a sovereign land of liberty with his primary allegiance to himself is rejected by patriots who sing of freedom but also shout of banners and boundaries. Karl Hess Category: Unsorted Where there is form there is nature. Where nature and humans interact there is a garden. Where there is a garden there is an implied co-creative partnership. Perelandra Category: Unsorted Life is change. Growth is optional. Choose wisely. Karen Kaiser Clark Category: Unsorted Our patriarchal blessings are paragraphs from the book of our possibilities. Karl G. Maeser Category: Unsorted If you are not killing plants you are not really stretching yourself as a gardener. J. C. Raulston Category: Unsorted The man who seeks freedom for anything but freedoms self is made to be a slave. Alexis De Tocqueville Category: Unsorted Loving You is Easy Cause Youre Beautiful Hers was a gift of love a miracle of life For all the world to see and hear forever. Minnie Riperton Rudolph Category: Unsorted For me the principal fact of life is the free mind. For good and evil man is a free creative spirit. This produces the very queer world we live in a world in continuous creation and therefore continuous change and insecurity. A perpetually new and lively world but a dangerous one full of tragedy and injustice. A world in everlasting conflict between the new idea and the old allegiances new arts and new inventions against the old establishment. Joyce Cary Category: Unsorted Western European civilization has witnessed a sort of atomizing process in which the individual is more and more set free from his natural setting in family and neighborhood and becomes a sort of replaceable unit in the social machine. His nearest neigh Lesslie Newbigin Category: Unsorted Womens liberationists spread the word that...the only peaceful family is one in which either the wife is enslaved or the husband is androgynous. R. Emmett Tyell Category: Unsorted It has been too much the custom to regard the earliest Christian books as written in a specially Christian form of speech standing apart and distinguishable from the common language of the eastern Roman provinces. Had that been the case it is not too bold to say that the new religion could not have conquered the Empire. It was because Christianity appealed direct to the people addressed them in their own language and made itself comprehensible to them on their own plane of thought that it met the needs and filled the heart of the Roman world. W. M. Ramsa Category: Unsorted Unfortunately our affluent society has also been an effluent society. Hubert H. Humphrey Category: Unsorted If you want to know who is being hurt in this society go see what is being done and to whom in pornography and then go look for them other places in the world. Catharine MacKinnon Category: Unsorted The progress of the industrial age rests on the greater diversification of labor and the use of more elaborate tools and machinery which have increased productivityin other words saved labor.... In our attempt to cure the social ills we should not kill the goose that has laid the golden eggs. If our society is sick it is for other reasons than the conquest by man of the forces of nature. John W. Scoville Category: Unsorted When Paris sneezes Europe catches cold. Prince Clement Metternich Category: Unsorted There is no substitute for accurate knowledge. Know yourself know your business know your men. Randall Jacobs Category: Unsorted In lantern–light My yellow Chrysanthemums Lost all their color Buson Category: Unsorted Something there is moves me to love and I Do know I love but know not how nor why. Alexander Brome Category: Unsorted I personally can see no reason for conceding mind to my fellow men and denying it to animals ... I at least cannot doubt that the interests and activities of animals are correlated with awareness and feeling in the same way as my own and which may be for aught I know just as vivid. Walter Russel Lord Brain Category: Unsorted Perhaps were too embarrassed to change or too frightened of the consequences of showing that we actually care. But why not risk it anyway? Begin Today. Carry out a random act of seemingly senseless kindness with no expectation or reward or punishment. Safe in the knowledge that one day someone somewhere might do the same for you. Princess Diana Category: Unsorted In this light my spirit suddenly saw through all and in and by all creatures even in herbs and grass it knew God who he is and how he is and what his will is: And suddenly in that light my will was set on by a mighty impulse to describe the being of God. Jacob Boehme Category: Unsorted Lord make us mindful of the little things that grow and blossom in these days to make the world beautiful for us. W.E.B. du Bois Category: Unsorted It is a myth not a mandate a fable not a logic and symbol rather than a reason by which men are moved. Irwin Edman Category: Unsorted The day will happen whether or not you get up. John Ciardi Category: Unsorted A man was made to help support his children which is the right and proper thing to do. A man was made to help support his children but with a little bit o luck with a little bit o luck theyll go out and start supporting you! Stanley Holloway Category: Unsorted A free society that allows each individual to seek his or her own selfish ends (without deliberately trying to harm anyone else) will produce a state in which everyones interest is optimized without any individual knowing in advance what that state might be. Stuart Kauffman Category: Unsorted It is sometimes frightening to observe the success which comes even to the outlaw with a polished technique and we find ourselves doubting the validity of the virtues we have been taught. But I believe we must reckon with character in the end for it is as potent a force in world conflict as it is in our own domestic affairs. It strikes the last blow in any battle. Philip D. Reed Category: Unsorted To the victor belong the responsibilities. Al Bernstein Category: Unsorted ... top management should spend 40 to 50 percent of its time educating and motivating its people ... F. G. Buck Rodgers Category: Unsorted You shall see them on a beautiful quarto page where a neat rivulet of text shall meander through a meadow of margin. Richard Brinsley Sheridan Category: Unsorted I agree that the fear of American cultural imperialism is shared by many people and I agree with your point about the invasive nature of television culture. But I wouldnt draw the next inference: that this is negative and therefore it must be stopped. I feel that one should address this influence in a way that takes away the negative edge through a positive counter-response. This way you reinforce and reaffirm your conviction in the inner values. You harness those beliefs and develop them with a greater degree of self-awareness. Thats the kind of response people should have instead of rejecting technology. The Dalai Lama Category: Unsorted I like bubbles and the whole thing. Thats the fun of taking a bath. On his new Magics Elixir Bubble Bath. Earvin Magic Johnson Category: Unsorted Musics the cordial of a troubled breast The softest remedy that grief can find; The gentle spell that charms our care to rest And calms the ruffled passions of the mind. Music does all our joys refine And gives the relish to our wine. John Oldham Category: Unsorted No matter how you look at it all the emotions connected with love are not really immortal; like all other passions in life they are bound to fade at some point. The trick is to convert love into some lasting friendship that overcomes the fading passion. Harold Pinter Category: Unsorted Never drink black coffee at lunch; it will keep you awake all afternoon. Jilly Cooper Category: Unsorted Obedience is the gateway through which knowledge yes and love too enter the mind of the child. Anne Sullivan Category: Unsorted Reader I married him. Charlotte Brontµ Category: Unsorted Comedy is Medicine. Trevor Griffiths Category: Unsorted Ulster will fight; Ulster will be right. Lord Randolph Henry Spencer Churchill Category: Unsorted Reparation for our rights at home and security against the like future violations. William Pitt the Elder Pitt Category: Unsorted There is no dispute managed without passion And yet there is scarce a dispute worth a passion. Thomas Sherlock Category: Unsorted Make the people sovereign and the poor will use the machinery of government to dispossess the rich. C. Northcote Parkinson Category: Unsorted Charm is a glow within a woman that casts a most becoming light on others. John Mason Brown Category: Unsorted Act as though everything you do rightly or wrongly, accurately or carelessly, may tip the scale of the bigger things of tomorrow; for all of us as indeed, every act potentially can. Remember: Enemies try to break through at the weakest point. Don't let it be on your sector. L. G. Elliott Category: Unsorted God has a plan of justice mercy truth cooperation and brotherhood which will bring peace upon this earth. As we worship God these qualities become part of our nature and we become fit inhabitants of the world God created. Human beings should worship God not alone to show their allegiance and dependence upon their Creator but to absorb from Him the essential qualities of a permanent civilization. Allen E. Claxton DD Category: Unsorted Assassinate me you may; intimidate me you cannot. John Philpot Curran Category: Unsorted The moment one definitely commits oneself then providence moves too. All sorts of things occur to help one that would never otherwise have occurred. A whole stream of events issues from the decision raising in ones favor all manner of unforeseen incidents and meetings and material assistance which no man could have dreamed would have come his way. Whatever you can do or dream you can begin it. Boldness has genius power and magic in it. Begin it now. Never contradict. Never explain. Never apologise. Lord Johnnie Fisher Category: Unsorted Of all the girls that are so smart Theres none like pretty Sally. She is the darling of my heart And she lives in our alley. Henry Carey Category: Unsorted Every great example takes hold of us with the authority of a miracle and says to us If ye had but faith ye also could do the same things. Jacobi Category: Unsorted Each generation has its few great mathematicians and mathematics would not even notice the absence of the others. They are useful as teachers and their research harms no one but it is of no importance at all. A mathematician is great or he is nothing. Alfred Adler Category: Unsorted The Bible is to us what the star was to the wise men; but if we spend all our time in gazing upon it observing its motions and admiring its splendor without being led to Christ by it the use of it will be lost on us. Thomas Adams Category: Unsorted A career is a job that has gone on too long. Jeff MacNelly Category: Unsorted To learn to get along without to realize that what the world is going to demand of us may be a good deal more important than what we are entitled to demand of it this is a hard lesson. Bruce Catton Category: Unsorted Rise with the lark and with the lark to bed. James Hurdis Category: Unsorted Elstow smiling said ... 'With thanks to God we know the way to heaven to be as ready by water as by land and therefore we care not which way we go.' Elstow Category: Unsorted Temptation is the fire that brings up the scum of the heart. Thomas Boston Category: Unsorted Has it never occurred to us when surrounded by sorrows that they may be sent to us only for our instruction. Jean Paul Richter Category: Unsorted The little gnomes of Zurich. Harold Wilson Category: Unsorted One cannot guess how a word functions. One has to look at its use and learn from that. But the difficulty is to remove the prejudice which stands in the way of doing this. It is not a stupid prejudice. Ludwig Josef Johann Wittgenstein Category: Unsorted They went to sea in a sieve they did; In a sieve they went to sea; In spite of all their friends could say. Edward Lear Category: Unsorted Born at Kaliste in Bohemia the son of a Jewish peddler Gustav Mahler described himself as: ... three times homeless a Bohemian in Austria an Austrian among Germans and a Jew throughout the world everywhere an intruder never welcomed. Gustav Mahler Category: Unsorted Time is that wherein there is opportunity and opportunity is that wherein there is no great time. Hippocrates Category: Unsorted Think big thoughts but relish small pleasures. H. Jackson Brown Jr. Category: Unsorted All marriages are happy. Its trying to live together afterwards that causes all the problems. Shelley Winters Category: Unsorted To know is not less than to feel. Oliver Wendell Holmes Jr. Category: Unsorted Who will bell the cat? Eustache Deschamps Category: Unsorted I never can feel certain of any truth but from a clear perception of its beauty. John Keats Category: Unsorted We spend a good part of our lives trying desperately to convince ourselves as well as everybody else that we know more than we really do. Charles Osgood Category: Unsorted Politics is not how you vote it is how you live. It is not how you choose but how you think. Nancy Fox Category: Unsorted Why do you have the right to run a factory just because you own it? You ought to have the power to run it because you are a human being. Dr. Jim Cairns Category: Unsorted Sleep with a smile. Sammy Cahn Category: Unsorted N.S.W. (Australia) Minister for Planning and Environment: I regard the weather as a Federal Government responsibility. Paul Landa Category: Unsorted Good Government is an oxymoron. Legare Category: Unsorted No woman gets an orgasm from shining the kitchen floor. Betty Naomi Friedan Category: Unsorted All gardeners live in beautiful places because they make them so. Joseph Joubert Category: Unsorted When one wishes to play the wit he sometimes wanders a little from the truth. Antoine de Saint-Exupery Category: Unsorted Only those who decide to scramble up the career ladder are interesting as human beings. Nothing is more boring than a man with a career. Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn Category: Unsorted ... desire cracks open the gates. If youre ready it will take you through. But nothing lasts forever time is the destroyer the wheel turns again and again watch out it will take you through. Starhawk Category: Unsorted Man cannot produce a single work without the assistance of the slow assiduous corrosive worm of thought. Eugenio Montale Category: Unsorted Whatever you have spend less. Dr. Samuel Johnson Category: Unsorted Hands untrained in the use of tools destroy what they want to build. It takes skill to use tools to achieve the result desired whether its tearing down an old house or building a new one. Skepticism is a tool serving both purposes. But it must be used by a trained mind a mind capable of disciplined thinking. J. B. Charles Category: Unsorted That which is above is also that which is below. Hermes Trismegistos Category: Unsorted The moon looks upon many night-flowers; the night-flower sees but one moon. Sir William Jones Category: Unsorted We as a people seem to be losing all sense of respect for ourselves and our fellow men with the result that in a thoroughly intolerant attitude we hesitate not a minute to secure an organized minority or even a majority to attempt by resolution or law to impose our will on a large body of people in matters where no moral wrong is involved and where liberty is curtailed. John J. Raskob Category: Unsorted Nothing raises the price of a blessing like its removal; whereas it was its continuance which should have taught us its value. Henry Moore Category: Unsorted It should not be strange that the values cherished by all the three major religions are the same since they originate from a common source. For example Islam the predominant religion in the Middle East accepts as an integral part of its religious teachings both the Old and the New Testaments. If this commonality of moral traditions among the worlds major religions does not say something about the universality of religion it does say something about the universality of mankind.... King Hussein of Jordan Category: Unsorted Scarcely is there any peace so unjust that it is better than even the fairest war. Vix ulla tam iniqua pax quin bello vel aequissimo sit potior Desiderius Erasmus Category: Unsorted If thou art able O stranger to find out all these things and gather them together in your mind giving all the relations thou shalt depart crowned with glory and knowing that thou hast been adjudged perfect in this species of wisdom. Ivor Thomas Category: Unsorted Let us not hear of generals who conquer without bloodshed. If a bloody slaughter is a horrible sight then that is a ground for paying more respect to war but not for making the sword we wear blunter and blunter by degrees from feelings of humanity until someone steps in with one that is sharp and lops off the arm from our body. Karl von Clausewitz Category: Unsorted The snow doesnt give a soft white damn whom it touches. e. e. cummings Category: Unsorted The average American salesmen keeps 33 men and women at work 33 people producing the product he sells ... and is responsible for the livelihood of 130 people. Robert A. Whitney Category: Unsorted Accustom yourself gradually to carry Prayer into all your daily occupation speak act work in peace as if you were in prayer as indeed you ought to be. François Fenelon Category: Unsorted My father always spoke that way. In the third person. He and she as though we were characters in a drama playing parts that had been written for us.

Richard Bentley Category: Unsorted Analyzing what you havent got as well as what you have is a necessary ingredient of a career. Grace Moore Category: Unsorted Thus Raleigh thus immortal Sidney shone (Illustrious names!) in great Elizas days. Thomas Edwards Category: Unsorted When I start the book Im The Writer. The writer bitches for a week about how he never has any fun hes tired of being funny all the time and nobody cares about him anyhow. This is followed by a period of deep intense silence much staring at walls punctuated by cheery optimism on the order of: Thats it! Im Dead! I cant think of an ending! or Im just going to have to scrap the first ten pages theyre lousy. Often it is less coherent than that reduced to the more succinct Garbage! Its all GARBAGE! Dave Sim Category: Unsorted For of the soul the body form doth take: For soul is form and and doth the body make. Edmund Spenser Category: Unsorted Gardeners I think dream bigger dreams than Emperors. Mary Cantwell Category: Unsorted The characteristic talent of Australians is not for improvisations nor even for republican manners it is for bureaucracy. Alan Davies Category: Unsorted Power in defense of freedom is greater than power in behalf of tyranny and oppression. Malcolm X Category: Unsorted Many things love to come and live off your plants including bacteria bugs birds and bunnies. If you don't control them entire crops can be ruined. The result of your careful cultivation in your garden and in your life can be lost to predators in a short time. ... Take a look at your life what toxic relationships substances and emotions are feeding on your energy and taking away from what you have to give to others. Eliminate them.

Margaret of Valois Category: Unsorted Whoso pulleth out this sword of this stone and anvil is right wise King born of all England. Sir Thomas Malory Category: Unsorted Listen to life it is the wisest teacher of all. Samuel Gilmore Category: Unsorted Bright portals of the sky Embossd with sparkling stars Doors of eternity With diamantine bars Your arras rich uphold Loose all your bolts and springs Ope wide your leaves of gold That in your roofs may come the King of Kings. O well-spring of this All! Thy Fathers image vive; Word that from nought did call What is doth reason live; The souls eternal food Earths joy delight of heaven; All truth love beauty good: To thee to thee be praises ever given! O glory of the heaven! O sole delight of earth! To thee all power be given Gods uncreated birth! Of mankind lover true Indearer of his wrong Who doth the world renew Still be thou our salvation and our song! William Henry Drummond Category: Unsorted The best way is to forget doubts and set about the task in hand.... Robert Silliman Hillyer Category: Unsorted The trouble with America is that there are far too many wide-open spaces surrounded by teeth. Charles Luckman Category: Unsorted Genius is not so much about new ideas as it is about clarity of ideas. Two people can have the same idea yet it will be genius in the one and mediocrity in the other. Kevin Solway Category: Unsorted If you are not an idealist by the time you are twenty you have no heart but if you are still an idealist by the time you are thirty you don't have a head. Randolph S. Bourne Category: Unsorted Get him talking and hed nag the leg off a camp oven. Donald Stuart Category: Unsorted To achieve the marvelous it is precisely the unthinkable that must be thought. Thomas Eugene (Tom) Robbins Category: Unsorted Somewhere between apathy and anarchy lies the thinking human being. Edward Rodman Rod Serling Category: Unsorted It is hard to write about politicians see them at such close range and still think of any of them as heroes. Robert Novak Category: Unsorted Such a morning it is when love leans through geranium windows and calls with a cockerels tongue. When red-haired girls scamper like roses over the rain-green grass and the sun drips honey. Laurie Lee Category: Unsorted The art of effective teaching is much rarer than the faculty of acquiring knowledge. Charles Harpur Category: Unsorted He who expects men to be always as good as their beliefs indulges a groundless hope; and he who expects men to be always as bad as their beliefs vexes himself with a needless fear. J. S. Kieffer Category: Unsorted Nearer my God to Thee! Nearer to Thee! Een though it be a cross That raiseth me Still all my song shall be Nearer my God to Thee Nearer my God to Thee Nearer to Thee! Though like the wanderer The sun gone down Darkness be over me My rest a stone Yet in my dreams I'd be Nearer my God to Thee Nearer my God to Thee! Nearer to Thee! There let the way appear Steps unto heav'n All that thou sendest me In mercy giv'n Angels to beckon me Nearer my God to thee Nearer my God to Thee Nearer to Thee! Then with my waking thoughts Bright with thy praise Out of my stony griefs Bethel I'll raise So by my woes to be Nearer my God to thee Nearer my God to Thee Nearer to Thee! Or if on joyful sing Cleaving the sky Sun moon and stars forgot Upward I fly Still all my song shall be Nearer my God to thee Nearer my God to Thee Nearer to Thee!

James Henry Leigh Hunt Category: Unsorted Even fairly good students when they have obtained the solution of the problem and written down neatly the argument shut their books and look for something else. Doing so they miss an important and instructive phase of the work.... A good teacher should understand and impress on his students the view that no problem whatever is completely exhausted. One of the first and foremost duties of the teacher is not to give his students the impression that mathematical problems have little connection with each other and no connection at all with anything else. We have a natural opportunity to investigate the connections of a problem when looking back at its solution. George Polyá Category: Unsorted People who knowingly select movies and television programs featuring foul language deserve exactly what they get....

I think the game is worthwhile. Christopher Reeve Category: Unsorted Knowledge alone does not stop men from evil. The poor and the ignorant are not the greatest sinners.

Dykstra Category: Unsorted Production in your thought factory is under the charge of two foremen one of whom we will call Mr. Triumph and the other Mr. Defeat.

Jack Handey Category: Unsorted Weeds don't need planting in well–drained soil; they don't ask for fertilizer or bits of rag to scare away the birds.

You will do it now young man. I don't want you winding up on the third shift at Flagg-Utica. Flagg-Utica was a local textile plant. Somehow I never could figure how failing to read three chapters in my geography book about the various sorts of vegetation to be found in a tropical rain forest had anything to do with facing a life as a mill hand. But with enough guilt and fear as catalysts you can read anything even geography books and Deuteronomy. Lewis McDonald Grizzard Jr. Category: Unsorted Our girls have need of such an example of graciousness elegance refinement and spirituality. Maria Dougall Category: Unsorted You can't build a great company without great people. But how do you know them when you see them? Over the past few years a number of companies in a wide range of industries from airlines to steel computers to hotels have asked themselves what separates their winners from their losers good hires from bad and they all arrived at the same answer: what people know is less important than who they are. Hiring they believe is not about finding people with the right experience; it's about finding people with the right mind-set. These companies hire for attitude and train for skill.

Berger commenting on the music of Aaron Copland: Here is at last an American that we may place unapologetically beside the great recognized creative figures of any other country.

Hans Hinrich Wendt Category: Unsorted I wish I could take language And fold it like cool moist rags. I would lay words on your forehead. I would wrap words on your wrists. There there my words would say Or something better. I would ask them to murmur Hush and Shh shhh its all right. I would ask them to hold you all night. I wish I could take language And daub and soothe and cool Where fever blisters and burns Where fever turns yourself against you. I wish I could take language And heal the words that were the wounds You have no names for. Julia Margaret Cameron Category: Unsorted In other words the propositions of philosophy are not factual but linguistic in character that is they do not describe the behaviour of physical or even mental objects; they express definitions or the formal consequences of definitions. Accordingly we may say that philosophy is a department of logic. For we will see that the characteristic mark of a purely logical enquiry is that it is concerned with the formal consequences of our definitions and not with questions of empirical fact. Alfred Jules Ayer Category: Unsorted I regret that I cant sit in the stands and watch me. Bo Belinsky Category: Unsorted Nobody before the Pythagoreans had thought that mathematical relations held the secret of the universe.

Arthur Koestler Category: Unsorted Not so many years ago there was no simpler or more intelligible notion than that of going on a journey.

Jeremy Taylor Category: Unsorted Free inquiry if restrained within due bounds and applied to proper subjects is a most important privilege of the human mind; and if well conducted is one of the greatest friends to truth.

And when he has conquered all the deep space and all the mysteries of time still he will be beginning.

Ambrose Category: Unsorted In the bottom of an old pond lived some grubs who could not understand why none of their groups ever came back after crawling up the stem of the lilies to the top of the water. They promised each other that the next one who was called to make the upward climb would return and tell what happened to him. Soon one of them felt an urgent impulse to seek the surface; he rested himself on top of a lily pad and went through a glorious transformation which made him a dragonfly with beautiful wings. In vain he tried to keep him promise. Flying back and forth over the pond he peered down at his friends below. Then he realized that if they could ever see him they would not recognize such a radiant creature as one of their number. The fact that we cannot see our friends or communicate with them after the transformation which we call death. is no proof that they cease to exit. Walter Dudley Cavert Category: Unsorted All walking is discovery. On foot we take the time to see things whole. Hal Borland Category: Unsorted There were ten lepers healed and only one turned back to give thanks but it is to be noticed that our Lord did not recall His gift from the other nine because of their lack of gratitude.

I think it all started when I was arrested as a pyromaniac. Bill Lee Category: Unsorted A Code of Honor: Never approach a friend's girlfriend or wife with mischief as your goal.

Hoffman Category: Unsorted I asked an endurance swimmer How is it possible for you to swim for twenty hours? What kind of mental attitude do you have? She said I believe that the water is a friend. It wants to help me. It does not fight against me and I do not fight against it. We are working together. I often think of that when I am in the ‘swim' of life. The waves and currents and the tides hit us all at times and it is not always easy to say The water is friendly. It requires an act of faith a volitional act; it means work but most of all it requires a will to believe. the more we use this will the more it becomes a part of us and the more natural becomes its application.

Sometimes a butterfly will come to sit in your open palm but if you close your hand one way or the other itand its choice to be thereare gone. Barbara Hambly Category: Unsorted Keplers principal goal was to explain the relationship between the existence of five planets (and their motions) and the five regular solids.

Dan Rather Category: Unsorted It is not how much you know about life but how you live your life that counts.

Death is only an old door In a garden wall.

Nusbaum Category: Unsorted The Humanist lives as if this world were all and enough. He is not otherworldly. He holds that the time spent on the contemplation of a possible afterlife is time wasted. He fears no hell and seeks no heaven save that which he and others created on earth. He willingly accepts the world that exists on this side of the grave as the place for moral struggle and creative living. He seeks the life abundant for his neighbour as for himself. He is content to live one world at a time and let the next life if such there may be take care of itself. He need not deny immortality; he simply is not interested. His interests are here. Edwin H.

To the idle it pledges ease; to the weary rest; to the frightened it means safety; to the anxious security; and to the improvident it conjures inexhaustible resources. Persuade a man that you can give him the thing he most desires and you will be his hero; offer him justification for his failures and he will be your disciple; assure him a boundless supply of loaves and fishes and he will seek to make you king.

Much of course we should lose by this universal scientific holiday ... but human happiness would not necessarily suffer.

MILTON S. Eisenhower Category: Unsorted Power may justly be compared to a great river; while kept within it bounds it is both beautiful and useful but when it overflows its banks it is then too impetuous to be stemmed; it bears down all before it and brings destruction and desolation wherever it comes.

Janet Flanner Category: Unsorted I hear no one boast that he hath a knowledge of the Scriptures but that he owneth a Bible written in golden characters. And tell me then what profiteth this? The Holy Scriptures were not given to us that we should enclose them in books but that we should engrave them upon our hearts.

James Abram Garfield Category: Unsorted Agency or the power to choose was ours as spirit children of our Creator before the world was. It is a gift from God nearly as precious as life itself. Often however agency is misunderstood. While we are free to choose once we have made those choices we are tied to the consequence of those choices. We are free to take drugs or not. But once we choose to use a habit-forming drug we are bound to the consequences of that choice. Addiction surrenders later freedom to choose. Russel M.

Thomas Henry Huxley Category: Unsorted The New Dealers labor politicians and Socialists have tried to take advantage of the natural American instinct for charity to forward their plans to socialize the furnishing of the necessities of life to all.

Were Protestant Catholics whether were from Methodist or Baptist or what. Aimee Semple Mcpherson Category: Unsorted I believe with all my heart that civilization has produced nothing finer than a man or woman who thinks and practices true tolerance. Some one has said that most of us don't think we just occasionally rearrange our prejudices. And I suspect that even today with all the progress we have made in liberal thought the quality of true tolerance is as rare as the quality of mercy. That men of all creeds have fundamental common objectives is a fact one must learn by the process of education. How to work jointly toward these objectives must be learned by experience. Frank Knox Category: Unsorted When will they realize that there are too many drugs? No fewer than 150000 preparations are now in use.

Hammurabi Category: Unsorted Whoever does not detach himself from the ego never attains the Absolute and never deciphers life. Constantin Brancusi Category: Unsorted The sight of the eye the hearing of the ear the touch of the hand may each and all be deceived but the instructions of the spirit are in all things correct.

Meredith Willson Category: Unsorted Let your hearts rejoice in gladness! Mabel Jones Gabbott Category: Unsorted Salvation and justice are not to be found in revolution but in evolution through concord.

Nancy Chodorow Category: Unsorted If you treat with courtesy your equal who is privileged to resent an impertinence how much more cautious should you be to your dependents from whom you demand a respectful demeanor. Robert Chambers Category: Unsorted If a nonnegative quantity was so small that it is smaller than any given one then it certainly could not be anything but zero. To those who ask what the infinitely small quantity in mathematics is we answer that it is actually zero. Hence there are not so many mysteries hidden in this concept as they are usually believed to be. These supposed mysteries have rendered the calculus of the infinitely small quite suspect to many people. Those doubts that remain we shall thoroughly remove in the following pages where we shall explain this calculus. Leonhard Euler Category: Unsorted This is an industry of ideas and imagination and what we are selling is hope. Steve Mayham Category: Unsorted For this is Wisdom; to love to live To take what fate or the Gods may give.

Now today every day she is bringing you forth not once but thousands upon thousands of times just as every day she engulfs you a thousand times over.

It falls on our heads and on the heads of the dead up the line on the body of the little recruit with the wound that is so much too big for his hip; it falls on Kemmerichs grave; it falls in our hearts. Erich Maria Remarque Category: Unsorted I have often pondered over the roles of knowledge or experience on the one hand and imagination or intuition on the other in the process of discovery. I believe that there is a certain fundamental conflict between the two and knowledge by advocating caution tends to inhibit the flight of imagination. Therefore a certain naivete unburdened by conventional wisdom can sometimes be a positive asset.

Cole Porter Category: Unsorted American Composer Scott Joplin Category: Unsorted The truth of the matter is that though mathematics truth may be beauty it can be only glimpsed after much hard thinking.

Bob Goddard Category: Unsorted A genius of comedy His talent brought joy and Laughter to all the world. Oliver Hardy Category: Unsorted The entire program of federal aid to the farmer is not a food-production project. It's a social program to keep the family farmer on the farm.

We think of death as ending; let us rather think of life as beginning and that more abundantly. We think of losing; let us think of gaining. We think of parting let us think of meeting.

Norman Macleod Category: Unsorted The great composer ... does not set to work because he is inspired but becomes inspired because he is working.

George Washington Category: Unsorted My intimate contact with those great producing organizations and the men in them has given me great confidence in the machinery and the spirit now available for the building of a proper world. I do not mean that our industrial system is as good as it should be but if I am looking for intelligent and unselfish understanding of our problems and a generous approach to their solution I shall seek it among the makers and builders with far more confidence than among the talkers the manipulators and the vote seekers.

Steintl Category: Unsorted Wars occur because people prepare for conflict rather than for peace. Trygve Lie Category: Unsorted My beloved young friends determine to serve one another. Opportunities for Christian acts of service do not always come at convenient times. Listen to the spirit when your flesh is weak. For truly the Master said Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren ye have done it unto me (Matt. 25:40). The blessings are tenfold when we do those good kindly acts of Christian service when it is inopportune or not convenient. Vaughn J.

Nikki Category: Unsorted Who is so wise as to have a perfect knowledge of all things? Therefore trust not too much to thine own opinion but be ready also to hear the opinion of others. Thought thine own opinion be good yet if for the love of God thou foregoest it and followest that of another thou shalt the more profit thereby. Thomas à Kempis Category: Unsorted One of my favorite words is miscommunication. Its meaning has become so broad as to justify everything from the Middle East crisis to why a relative missed the wedding.

Joe Mcdonald Category: Unsorted Wealth is not of necessity a curse nor poverty a blessing. Wholesome and easy abundance is better than either extreme; better for our manhood that we have enough for daily comfort; enough for culture for hospitality for Christian charity.

Guy Lombardo Category: Unsorted So I asked him to play Travlin All Alone. That came closer than anything to the way I felt. And some part of it must have come across. The whole joint quieted down. If someone had dropped a pin it would have sounded like a bomb. When I finished everybody in the joint was crying in their beer and I picked thirty-eight bucks up off the floor.... When I showed Mom the money for the rent and told her I had a regular job singing for eighteen dollars a week she could hardly believe it.

Garrison Keillor Category: Unsorted I have two basic convictions: First more harm has been done by weak persons than by wicked persons; secondly the problems of the world are caused by the weakness of goodness rather than by the strength of evil. It is evident that we have allowed technology to outstrip social controls.... Man must catch up with what he has created. Harry S. Kennedy D.D.

Leonardo da Vinci Category: Unsorted In a world where so much seems to be hidden by the smoke of falsity and moral degeneration we Americans must grasp firmly the ideals which have made this country great.

Eddy Category: Unsorted I am ashamed of the race of beings to which I belong. It is so cruel and bigoted so hypocritical so soulless and insane.

I go farther; and now proceed to show that in peculiar instances in which those rights can receive neither protection nor reparation from civil government they are notwithstanding its institution entitled still to that defence and to those methods of recovery which are justified and demanded in a state of nature. The defence of ones self justly called the primary law of nature is not nor can it be abrogated by any regulation of municipal law.

David B. Haight Category: Unsorted Believe if you will that there may have been faults in our industrial system yet the fact remains that the welfare of the average man has not so far advanced under any other form of government and that whatever evil exists will not be corrected by delegating to government with all its weaknesses the authority to run and control all business and to control the daily lives and activities of laboring mankind. Nor will any existing waste and extravagance of government be eliminated or appreciably diminished until the average man realizes that the burden of paying its bills will through direct or indirect taxation ultimately fall upon him his children or his childrens children.

Thomas Ken Category: Unsorted I wouldnt ever set out to hurt anybody deliberately unless it was you know important like a league game or something. Dick Category: Unsorted To me it seems basic to the getting rid of fear to know that our trials of whatever nature are not motiveless. In our present stage of development we could hardly do without them. So often looking ... ugly ... they are in reality the branches by we which we catch on and climb. They are not obstacles to happiness... . Every call of duty has its place in this ideal; every irksome job every wearisome responsibility. The fact that we are not always aware of it in no way annuls the other fact that it is so....

Claudia Alta (Lady Bird) Johnson Category: Unsorted With a tale forsooth he cometh unto you; with a tale which holdeth children from play and old men from the chimney corner. Sir Philip Sidney Category: Unsorted Things in which we do not take joy are either a burden upon our minds to be got rid of at any cost; or they are useful and therefore in temporary and partial relation to us becoming burdensome when their utility is lost; or they are like wandering vagabonds loitering for a moment on the outskirts of our recognition and then passing on. A thing is only completely our own when it is a thing of joy to us. Rabindranath Tagore Category: Unsorted If you would keep your soul From spotted sight or sound Live like the velvet mole; Go burrow underground. And there hold intercourse With roots of trees and stones With rivers at their source And disembodied bones. Elinor Morton Hoyt Wylie Category: Unsorted Piglet sidled up to Pooh from behind.

Granny Lum Loy Category: Unsorted Babies don't need fathers but mothers do. Someone who is taking care of a baby needs to be taken care of. Amy Heckerling Category: Unsorted Most business problems require common sense rather than legal reference. They require good judgment and honesty of purpose rather than reference to the courts. Edward N. Hurley Category: Unsorted We hear a good deal about business confidence which means confidence of business in itself in its government and in its capacity for expansion. But confidence is only another way of saying that people believe each other keep their promises pay their debts and regard their duty to society. As long as business observes these rules it will have the confidence of the community and it will be safe from all of the irresponsible attacks of its enemies. Will H. Nays Category: Unsorted It's not population or enormous resources which open the golden doors to success but a skillful use of brains and scientific know-how. John T. Conner Category: Unsorted There is such malice in men as to rejoice in misfortunes And from anothers woes to draw delight. Publius Terentius Terence Category: Unsorted I always think the same thing when I read about someone committing suicide. I think There but for the grace of God go I. I think Theres only a twist of Fate between me and them. I think It could have been me.

For one of us was born a twin And not a soul knew which.... Henry Sambrooke Leigh Category: Unsorted In the mathematics I can report no deficience except that it be that men do not sufficiently understand the excellent use of the pure mathematics in that they do remedy and cure many defects in the wit and faculties intellectual. For if the wit be too dull they sharpen it; if too wandering they fix it; if too inherent in the sense they abstract it. So that as tennis is a game of no use in itself but of great use in respect it maketh a quick eye and a body ready to put itself into all postures; so in the mathematics that use which is collateral and intervenient is no less worthy than that which is principal and intended.

Nibley Category: Unsorted If excessive smoking actually plays a role in the production of lung cancer it seems to be a minor one. Dr. W.C. Heuper Category: Unsorted Fear not to swear; the winds carry the perjuries of lovers without effect over land and sea thanks to Jupiter. The father of the gods himself has denied effect to what foolish lovers in their eagerness have sworn.

Curt Goetz Category: Unsorted Our critical day is not the very day of our death but the whole course of our life; I thank him that prays for me when my bell tolls; but I thank him much more that catechizes me or preaches to me or instructs me how to live. John Donne Category: Unsorted People who take the time to be alone usually have depth originality and quiet reserve. John Miller Category: Unsorted We cannot judge fully of men's works by what we see or what is said and thought of them; for man is prone to depreciate that which is really important and to exact and extol what is trivial and of little worth. Many things which are hidden and unrecognized of human wisdom are nevertheless valuable and vitally important. Orson Ferguson Whitney Category: Unsorted Unless they (Mich. Gov. Englers triplet daughters) have corkscrew tails those are not his kids Geoffrey Fieger Category: Unsorted All that tread The globe are but a handful to the tribes That slumber in its bosom.

Paul Simon Category: Unsorted Businesses are successful because someone makes the sacrifices others are unwilling to. Ki-Jung Kim Category: Unsorted As I search the archives of my memory I seem to discern six types or methods [of judicial writing] which divide themselves from one another with measurable distinctness. There is the type magisterial or imperative; the type laconic or sententious; the type conversational or homely; the type refined or artificial smelling of the lamp verging at times upon preciosity or euphuism; the demonstrative or persuasive; and finally the type tonsorial or agglutinative so called from the shears and the pastepot which are its implements and emblem.

Menzies Category: Unsorted There comes a time in every mans life and Ive had many of them… Casey Stengel Category: Unsorted The world of biology is full of miracles but nothing I have seen is as miraculous as the metamorphosis of the monarch caterpillar. Her brain is a speck of neural tissue a few millimeters long about a million times smaller than a human brain. With this almost microscopic clump of nerve cells she knows how to manage her new legs and wings to walk and to fly to find her way by some unknown means of navigation over thousands of miles from Massachusetts to Mexico. How are her behavior patterns programmed first into the genes of the caterpillar and then translated into the neural pathways of the butterfly? These are mysteries that biologists are far from understanding. The monarch is living proof that natures imagination is richer than our own. FREEMAN J.

Daniel Bernoulli Category: Unsorted Pseudonym of Charles William Gordon Ralph Connor Category: Unsorted Only government can take perfectly good paper cover it with perfectly good ink and make the combination worthless. Milton Friedman Category: Unsorted Yuppies don't have loyalty. They have useful relationships and meaningful encounters. William Kristol Category: Unsorted Three things return not even for prayers and tears The arrow which the archer shoots at will; The spoken word keen-edged and sharp to sting; The opportunity left unimproved. If thou would'st speak a word of loving cheer Oh speak it now. This moment is thine own. Richardson Category: Unsorted The butcher knocks down the stately ox with no more compassion than the blacksmith hammers a horse-shoe and plunges his knife into the throat of an innocent lamb with as little reluctance as the tailor sticks his needle into the collar of a coat. Soame Jenyns Category: Unsorted Whoever has the mind to fight has broken his connection with the universe. If you try to dominate people you are already defeated. We study how to resolve conflict not how to start it. Daniel Goleman Category: Unsorted Says he I am a handsome man but Im a gay deceiver. George Colman Category: Unsorted The antithesis between death and life is not so stark for the Christian as it is for the atheist. Life is a process of becoming and the moment of death is the transition from one life to another. Thus it is possible for a Christian to succumb to his own kind of death-wish to seek that extreme of other-worldliness to which the faith has always been liable especially in periods of stress and uncertainty. There may appear a marked preoccupation with death and a rejection of all temporal things. To say that this world is in a fallen state and that not too much value must be set upon it is very far from the Manichaean error of supposing it to be evil throughout. The Christian hope finds ambivalence in death: that which destroys also redeems. Raymond Chapman Category: Unsorted Energy and perseverance can fit a man for almost any kind of position. Theodore F. Merseles Category: Unsorted Not just any talk is conversation; not any talk raises consciousness. Good conversation has an edge: it opens your eyes to something quickens your ears. And good conversation reverberates: it keeps on talking in your mind later in the day; the next day you find yourself still conversing with what was said. That reverberation afterward is the very raising of consciousness; your minds been moved. You are at another level with your reflections. James Hillman Category: Unsorted Better than glory or honors or fame (Though I am striving for those to-day) To know that some heart will cherish my name And think of me kindly with blessings alway. Ella Wheeler Wilcox Category: Unsorted To derive pleasure in being cruel is a very debasing matter. It shows a person to be unmindful of the sanctity of life and the meaning of life. There is something very foul and evil in the lives of men and women who delight in destroying helpless life especially in what is known as blood sports. Rev. F.C. Baker Category: Unsorted The price of wisdom is eternal thought. Frank Birch Category: Unsorted War is a profane thing. General H. Norman Schwarzkopf Category: Unsorted As soon as you feel too old to do a thing do it! Margaret Deland Category: Unsorted He who stuffeth puffeth Jenny Cannon Category: Unsorted The players have often mentioned it as an honor to Shakespeare that in his writing (whatsoever he penned) he never blotted out a line. My answer hath been Would he had blotted a thousand. Ben Jonson Category: Unsorted A great memory does not make a mind any more than a dictionary is a piece of literature. Cardinal John Henry Newman Category: Unsorted Whenever you can count. Sir Francis Galton Category: Unsorted Criminals are members of the larger community no less than are others. As such they are our neighbors or as Jesus put it our brothers.... [Though violent criminals act wrongfully] it is equally wrong for the victim to kill.... Rev. Allen Brockway Category: Unsorted You can tell how high a society is by how much of its garbage is recycled. Tahanie Category: Unsorted I cannot rid my mind of the fact that Herr Hitler has given us nothing and that he is dictating terms just as though he had won a war but without having had to fight. Lord Halifax Category: Unsorted There was too much noise. Sirens from police cars and ambulances. Shouts from the crowd on the street eighteen floors below. Traffic from other streets and all of the noises of San Francisco. Mostly though there were the voices. Whispering to him. Reminding him of the dark things he had done all of the little things he had forgotten all of the big things he had tried to forget. Mostly they reminded him of his biggest secret a betrayal of trust and friendship long ago. He squeezed his eyes shut as if that could somehow keep the voices away. Don Bassingthwaite Category: Unsorted If you have been in the habit of inviting negative thoughts, jealousy, envy, resentment, and self-pity; think of these as intruders in your mind. The old Chinese saying fits here: You cannot stop the birds of the air from flying over your head, but you need not let them nest in your hair. Face and define your troubles. Gather your worries to God. Do all you can about the situation that is causing them. Don't contaminate your friends and loved ones with them. Floyd & Eve Corbin Category: Unsorted Hypocrite reader my likeness my brother! Charles Pierre Baudelaire Category: Unsorted The subject of the poem was Bridget of Kildare (450–523) a Christian lass among the Druids in Ireland. Saint Bridget was A problem child.

Alan Whicker Category: Unsorted Patience when too often outraged is converted into madness. Valerius Maximus Category: Unsorted It often happens to children - and sometimes to gardeners - that they are given gifts of value of which they do not perceive until much later. Wayne Winterrowd Category: Unsorted Biology occupies a position among the sciences at once marginal and central. Marginal becausethe living world constituting but a tiny and very special part of the universeit does not seem likely that the study of living beings will ever uncover general laws applicable outside the biosphere. But if the ultimate aim of the whole of science is indeed as I believe to clarify mans relationship to the universe then biology must be accorded a central position ... Jacques Monod Category: Unsorted Another unsettling element in modern art is that common symptom of immaturity the dread of doing what has been done before. Edith Warton Category: Unsorted True liberty consists not merely in being free from something but also in being free for something. Ralph W. Sockman Category: Unsorted Rush If you ever see me getting beaten by the police put down the video camera and come help me. Bobcat Goldthwait Category: Unsorted These things shall be! A loftier race Than e'er the world hath known shall rise With flame of freedom in their souls And light of knowledge in their eyes. John Addington Symonds Category: Unsorted Music is never stationary; successive forms and styles are only like so many resting-places like tents pitched and taken down again on the road to the Ideal. Franz Liszt Category: Unsorted Dr. Strauss says I should rite down what I think and remembir and evrey thing that happins to me from now on.. Daniel Keys Category: Unsorted Are you striving for success? Then never think of quitting; Footprints in the sand of time Cannot be made by sitting. A. W. Thomas Category: Unsorted Bell Labs Cafeteria New York 1943: His high pitched voice already stood out above the general murmur of well-behaved junior executives grooming themselves for promotion within the Bell corporation. Then he was suddenly heard to say: No Im not interested in developing a powerful brain. All Im after is just a mediocre brain something like the President of the American Telephone and Telegraph Company. Alan Mathison Turing Category: Unsorted Surviving a downturn is a bit like going over Niagara Falls in a barrel: when you hit bottom youre either dead or happily bobbing in calmer waters. Ted Pile Category: Unsorted The human voice is the most beautiful instrument of all but it is the most difficult to play. Richard Strauss Category: Unsorted Women's body language speaks eloquently though silently of her subordinate status in a hierarchy of gender. Sandra Bartky Category: Unsorted Man was not made to rust out in idleness. A degree of exercise is as necessary for the preservation of health both of body and mind as his daily food. And what exercise is more fitting or more appropriate of one who is in the decline of life than that of superintending a well–ordered garden? What more enlivens the sinking mind? What is more conducive to a long life? Joseph Breck Category: Unsorted THE HEART'S DEAD ARE NEVER BURIED. Samuel Hoffenstein Category: Unsorted The aim of education should be to convert the mind into a living fountain and not a reservoir. That which is filled by merely pumping in will be emptied by pumping out. John M. Mason Category: Unsorted A good book is the best of friends the same today and forever. Martin Farquhar Tupper Category: Unsorted A man with God is always in the majority. John Knox Category: Unsorted Determined not to survive her husband stabbed herself and handed dagger to him: Paetus it doesn't hurt. Paete non dolet Arria Category: Unsorted Today the world changes so quickly that in growing up we take leave not just of youth but of the world we were young in.... Fear and resentment of what is new is really a lament for the memories of our childhood. Sir Peter Brian Medawar Category: Unsorted Talent is one thing. Being able to go from spring to October is another. Sparky Anderson Category: Unsorted I do not attach much importance to Americas bombs. I attach importance to her great vitality and integrity. The strength of America is deeper and more significant than her financial power. Jawaharlal Nehru Category: Unsorted The understanding of art depends finally upon ones willingness to extend ones humanity and ones knowledge of human life. Ralph Ellison Category: Unsorted My object will be if possible to form Christian men for Christian boys I can scarcely hope to make. Thomas Arnold Category: Unsorted It hurts to thwart the reflexes of grab of clutch; to love and let go again and again. Margie Piercy Category: Unsorted Because women take time out for childbearing they have less tenure than men in their jobs which translates into lower earnings. Barbara Riskin Category: Unsorted Esoteric science premises the existence of the Great Unmanifest which may be conceived as a sea of limitless but latent force which underlies all things and whence all things derive their substance and draw their life. Dion Fortune Category: Unsorted One-half of life is luck; the other half is discipline and that's the important half for without discipline you wouldn't know what to do with luck. Carl Zuckmayer Category: Unsorted I find the love of garden grows upon me as I grow older more and more. Shrubs and flowers and such small gay things that bloom and please and fade and wither and are gone and we care not for them are refreshing interests in life and if we cannot say never fading pleasures we may say unreproved pleasures and never grieving losses. Maria Edgeworth Category: Unsorted On one of those rare occasions when Bach appraised his own life's work he remarked: I worked hard. Johann Sebastian Bach Category: Unsorted If you talk enough you don't feel you have to do anything. Category: Unsorted If only we could learn that tolerance is the oil that takes the friction out of life! Wilbert E. Scheer Category: Unsorted My clearest recollection of a long-ago interview with Thomas A. Edison is of a single sentence that was painted or hung on a wall in his room. In effect the sentence was: It is remarkable to what lengths people will go to avoid thought. That is tragically true. Some of us think more of us think we think and most of us don't even think of thinking. The result is a somewhat cockeyed world. Pollack Category: Unsorted We know where most of the creativity the innovation the stuff that drives productivity liesin the minds of those closest to the work. Its been there in front of our noses all along while weve been running around chasing robots and reading books on how to become Japaneseor at least manage like them. John F. Welch Category: Unsorted Anchors aweigh my boys Anchors aweigh! Farewell to college joys We sail at break of day. Alfred Hart Miles Category: Unsorted Where today are the Pequot? Where are the Narragansett the Mohican the Pokanoket and many other once powerful tribes of our people? They have vanished before the avarice and the oppression of the White Man as snow before a summer sun. Will we let ourselves be destroyed in our turn without a struggle give up our homes our country bequeathed to us by the Great Spirit the graves of our dead and everything that is dear to us? I know you will cry with me NEVER! NEVER!. Tecumseh of the Shawnees Category: Unsorted When another person makes you suffer it is because he suffers deeply within himself and his suffering is spilling over. He does not need punishment; he needs help. Thats the message he is sending. Thich Nhat Hanh Category: Unsorted She s adorned Amply that in her husbands eye looks lovely The truest mirror that an honest wife Can see her beauty in. John Tobin Category: Unsorted If you cannot be the master of your language you must be its slave. If you cannot examine your thoughts you have no choice but to think them however silly they may be. Richard Mitchell Category: Unsorted If frugality were established in the state if our expenses were laid out rather in the necessaries than the superfluities of life there might be fewer wants and even fewer pleasures but infinitely more happiness. Oliver Goldsmith Category: Unsorted A man only understands what is akin to something already existing in himself. Henri-Frederic Amiel Category: Unsorted Marriage is the waste-paper basket of the emotions. Sidney Webb Category: Unsorted Mr. Clarke played the King all evening as though under constant fear that someone else was about to play the Ace.

Dick Allen Category: Unsorted Drugs have nothing to do with the creation of music. In fact drugs are dumb and self-indulgent. Kind of like sucking your thumb. Courtney Love Category: Unsorted Never give up then for that is just the place and time that the tide will turn. Harriet Beecher Stow Category: Unsorted When I chased after money I never had enough. When I got my life on purpose and focused on giving of myself and everything that arrived into my life then I was prosperous. Wayne Dyer Category: Unsorted You're not a finished product. You're still in the process of being created.

Eliot Category: Unsorted When the going gets tough look for an easier way. Frank Jaster Category: Unsorted I do not ask to walk smooth paths Nor bear an easy load I pray for strength and fortitude To climb the rock strewn road. Give me such courage I can scale The hardest peaks alone And transform every stumbling block Into a stepping stone. Gail Brook Burket Category: Unsorted After endless days of commuting on the freeway to an antiseptic sealed-window office there is a great urge to backpack in the woods and build a fire.

Walter Lewis Wilson Category: Unsorted The mind I love must have wild places a tangled orchard where dark damsons drop in the heavy grass an overgrown little wood the chance of a snake or two a pool that nobodys fathomed the depth of and paths threaded with flowers planted by the mind. Katherine Mansfield Category: Unsorted There is an easier better and quicker way to do most everything and now as never before we must seek those easier better quicker ways and methods. Gustav Metzman Category: Unsorted Conversation means being able to disagree and still continue the discussion. Dwight Macdonald Category: Unsorted To dwell is to garden. Martin Heidegger Category: Unsorted We cannot talk with [animals] as we can with human beings yet we can communicate with them on mental and emotional levels. They should however be accorded equality in that they should receive both compassion and respect; it is unworthy of us to exploit them in any way. Rebecca Hall Category: Unsorted Inspiration is needed in geometry just as much as in poetry. Aleksandr Sergeyevich Pushkin Category: Unsorted When I make a feast I would my guests should praise it not the cooks. Sir John Harington Category: Unsorted Its not what youve done but what you do next that keeps your competitor at bay. Moses Joseph Category: Unsorted Here we stand in the middle of this new world with our primitive brain attuned to the simple cave life with terrific forces at our disposal which we are clever enough to release but whose consequences we cannot comprehend. Albert Szent-Gyorgyi de Nagyraolt Category: Unsorted Life is not meant to be easy. Malcolm Fraser Category: Unsorted The more we study the early Church the more we realize that it was a society of ministers. About the only similarity between the Church at Corinth and a contemporary congregation either Roman Catholic or Protestant is that both are marked to a great degree by the presence of sinners. Elton Trueblood Category: Unsorted I like a tombstone cuz it weathers well and if it stands or if it crumbles only time will tell. and you can carve my name in marble you must cut it deep; therell be no dancing on the gravestone you must let me sleep.

Edward III of England Category: Unsorted A couple things about looking into a mirror: First off you get to see anybody sneaking up behind you second its two-dimensional and you don't get to see the whole of yourself third mirrors are flat and very often cold fourth when things get hot and intense its the mirror that steams up not your eyes. Greg Webster Category: Unsorted Self-help books are making life downright unsafe. Women desperate to catch a man practice all the ploys recommended by these authors. Bump into him trip over him knock him down spill something on him scald him but meet him. Florence King Category: Unsorted He [Jimmy Connors] has one weakness. He can never say his opponent played well. Thats why it feels good to beat him and thats why other players would rather beat him than any other player. Björn Borg Category: Unsorted Science has taught us how to put the atom to work. But to make it work for good instead of for evil lies in the domain dealing with the principles of human duty. Bernard Mannes Baruch Category: Unsorted For those who live neither with religious consolations about death nor with a sense of death (or of anything else) as natural death is the obscene mystery the ultimate affront the thing that cannot be controlled. It can only be denied. Susan Sontag Category: Unsorted You cannot train a horse with shouts and expect it to obey a whisper. Dagobert D. Runes Category: Unsorted She sat down in a weed patch her elbows on her knees and kept her eyes on the small mysterious world of the ground. In the shade and sun of grass blade forests small living things had their metropolis. Nancy Price Category: Unsorted Sometimes I fear that if Harvard does not give up trying to turn itself from an Institution of Learning into an Educational Institution we may have a generation of professors whose duty it will be to disseminate information which they have not the time to acquire. Edwin G. Boring Category: Unsorted We do not go to bed in single pairs; even if we choose not to refer to them we still drag there with us the cultural impedimenta of our social class our parents lives our bank balances our sexual and emotional expectations our whole biographiesall the bits and pieces of our unique existences. Angela Carter Category: Unsorted When people say: she's got everything I've only one answer: I haven't had tomorrow. Elizabeth Taylor Category: Unsorted The question is not why good people have trials but how shall good people respond when they are tried? Marion D. Hanks Category: Unsorted Local defense will always be important. But there is no local defense which alone will contain the mighty land power of the Communist world. Local defense must be reinforced by the further deterrent of massive retaliatory power. John Foster Dulles Category: Unsorted In the past kong-an (koan) practicing meant checking someones enlightenment. Now we use kong-ans to make our lives correct.... You must use kong-ans to take away your opinions. When you take away your opinions your mind is clear like space which means from moment to moment you can reflect any situation and respond correctly and meticulously.

Luciano Pavarotti Category: Unsorted Of Canberra: A beautifully landscaped retirement village. Professor Rolf Jensen Category: Unsorted The police cannot protect the citizen at this stage of our development and they cannot even protect themselves in many cases. It is up to the private citizen to protect himself and his family and this is not only acceptable but mandatory.

Alexandra Ripley Category: Unsorted Greatly his foes he dreads but more his friends; He hurts me most who lavishly commends. Charles Churchill Category: Unsorted Paul Tillich can show us that the unity which we seek as Christians must involve our denominations in changes even greater than those which many of us now expect. His insistence on taking seriously the gropings of all men for the truth about their lives must be allowed to remind the ecumenical movement that the word oikoumene is Greek not for the Church but for the whole inhabited world. The ecumenical movement is more than Christian patriarchs kissing. Christian unity means the unity of mankind in finding and obeying God. Tillich can teach us that the Church must not shut its door to celebrate a family reunion while a single child of God remains outside. David L. Edwards Category: Unsorted I must tell you that the supply of words on the world market is plentiful but the demand is falling. Lech Walesa Category: Unsorted There is only one bossthe customer. And he can fire everybody in the company from the chairman on down simply by spending his money somewhere else. Sam Walton Category: Unsorted Security ... its simply the recognition that changes will take place and the knowledge that youre willing to deal with whatever happens. Harry Browne Category: Unsorted At the time Gothic cathedrals were designed most people lived in dark huts so just walking into a space vastly larger than what they were habituated to lit by stained glass windows was literally awe-inspiring. Today were not as impressed by big buildings so we have to go to very large mountains to experience that diminutive effect. M. A. Persinger Category: Unsorted The awful wrongs and sufferings forced upon the innocent helpless faithful animal race form the blackest chapter in the whole worlds history. Edward Augustus Freeman Category: Unsorted Science is always discovering odd scraps of magical wisdom and making a tremendous fuss about its cleverness. Aleister Crowley Category: Unsorted History has proven God has never given anyone a dream Without also including the power to achieve that dream; It is up to us to claim the power and go after that dream Or just claim it was only a dream. Larry Bennett Category: Unsorted Seldom ever was any knowledge given to keep but to impart; the grace of this rich jewel is lost in concealment. Joseph Hall Category: Unsorted It is not true that Congress spends money like a drunken sailor. Drunken sailors spend their own money. Congress spends our money. Arthur B. Laffer Category: Unsorted We have rights as individuals to give as much of our own money as we please to charity; but as members of Congress we have no right so to appropriate a dollar of public money.

General George Smith Patton Jr. Category: Unsorted No matter how much we learn there is always more knowledge to be gained. In this connection I am reminded of a short poem that has been in my mind over the years. It reads as follow: I used to think I knew I knew. But now I must confess. The more I know I know I know I know I know the less. A. Ray Olpin Category: Unsorted Be excellent to each other.

James Agate Category: Unsorted So down thy hill romantic Ashbourn glides The Derby dilly carrying three INSIDES. George Canning Category: Unsorted When congressman Newt Gingrich was a graduate student at Tulane University I baptized him by immersion into the membership of the St. Charles Avenue Baptist Church.

Airplay Category: Unsorted Unless a man feels he has a good enough memory he should never venture to lie. Montaige Category: Unsorted Health food may be good for the conscience but Oreos taste a hell of a lot better. Robert Redford Category: Unsorted We professional athletes are very lucky.

Johnny Blood Category: Unsorted A lonely tulip Dying on the dirt filled road Never waking up Allison Borowick Category: Unsorted Our lives teach us who we are. Salman Rushdie Category: Unsorted No totalitarians no wars no fears famines or perils of any kind can really break a mans spirit until he breaks it himself by surrendering. Tyranny has many dread powers but not the power to rule the spirit. Edgar Sheffield Brightman Category: Unsorted Theres only one opinion that counts. Its your opinion. It may be wrong but its yours and thats the one that counts Filipe Alou Category: Unsorted I pledge devotion to the earth our one and only home and to the life this earth sustains; one nation one spirit indivisible with freedom and fulfillment for all. Bruce Hagen Category: Unsorted Spring flowers are long since gone. Summers bloom hangs limp on every terrace. The gardeners feet drag a bit on the dusty path and the hinge in his back is full of creaks. Louise Seymour Jones Category: Unsorted Over the glittering rattled ladders of shale the birds cross tangential to the sea at night. Hour upon hour you can sense the undulation of wings. If you lift your cheek quite carefully you can feel the kiss and the wisp of air stirred by the inaudible glide. Jan Haag Category: Unsorted Men are strong only so long as they represent a strong idea. They become powerless when they oppose it. Sigmund Freud Category: Unsorted I like to work half a day. I don't care of it's the first twelve hours or the second twelve hurs. I just put in my half every day. It keeps me out of trouble. Kemmons Wilson Category: Unsorted Each small task of everyday life is part of the total harmony of the universe. St. Theresa of Lisieux Category: Unsorted ... this mind through endless kalpas without beginning has never varied. It has never lived or died appeared or disappeared increased or decreased. Its not pure or impure good or evil past or future. Its not true or false. Its not male or female. Bodhidharma Category: Unsorted I see the beginning of my end. Philip Massinger Category: Unsorted There was always plenty to do in the garden weeds to be yanked up between the flower beds holes to be dug for tulip bulbs. Williams blended rich compost into the soil turning it over; or prepared to plant the sapling bought back from a weekend trip to James Laughlins country place in Norfork Connecticut or Flossies parents farm near Harriman New York. Rooting around in the dark earth was great exercise. Williams carefully removed his white shirt and tie and when he had worked long enough so that sweat began to show through his undershirt it never failed his mind was wonderfully cleared. He washed up had a bite to eat and was ready for the next visitor. Neil Baldwin Category: Unsorted I used your soap two years ago; since then I have used no other. Punch Category: Unsorted At dusk Come to my hut - The crickets will Serenade you and I will Introduce you to the moonlit woods. Ryokan Taigu Category: Unsorted It takes far less courage to kill yourself than it takes to make yourself wake up one more time. It is harder to stay where you are than to get out. Judith Rossner Category: Unsorted I am a simple man and I want simple answers. Howard Aiken Category: Unsorted If you have men who will only come if they know there is a good road I don't want them. I want men who will come if there is no road at all. David Livingstone Category: Unsorted Don't be a fault-finding grouch; when you feel like finding fault with somebody or something stop for a moment and think; there is very apt to be something wrong within yourself. Don't permit yourself to show temper and always remember that when you are in the right you can afford to keep your temper and when you are in the wrong you cannot afford to lose it. J. J. Reynolds Category: Unsorted Personality is a person among persons. There is no personality of one man on a desert island. Kilpatrick Category: Unsorted The happiest people spend much time in a state of flow - the state in which people are so involved in an activity that nothing else seems to matter; the experience itself is so enjoyable that people will do it even at great cost for the sheer sake of doing it. Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi Category: Unsorted Life still sucks and it always will because all existences are pointless worthless and superfluous to all the other existences surrounding them. Even if you find someone special in your life and see the significance for your own life in their existence take one step back and you realize that the two of you are existing as one insignificant and superfluous life. A.M. Gauthier Category: Unsorted Some people would say my paintings show a future world and maybe they do but I paint from reality. I put several things and ideas together and perhaps when I have finished it could show the future. If people want to interpret my work as warnings about too much overpopulation disease and mechanization in the future then that is up to them. I like to combine human beings creatures and biomechanics. And I love to work with bones they are elemental and function and after all are part of human beings. I have many bones in my home in Zurich and I study them and use them as models. Some people say my work is often depressing and pessimistic with the emphasis on death blood overcrowding strange beings and so on but I don't really think it is. There is hope and a kind of beauty in there somewhere if you look for it. H. R. Giger Category: Unsorted The position of a sincere solipsist is unassailable. Charles S. Milligan Category: Unsorted All that is worth cherishing in this world begins in the heart not the head. Suzanne Chazin Category: Unsorted Perhaps this war will pass like the others which divided us leaving us dead killing us along with the killers but the shame of this time puts its burning fingers to our faces. Who will erase the ruthlessness hidden in innocent blood? Pablo Neruda Category: Unsorted We are what we think; as we desire so do we become! By our thoughts desires and habits we either ascend to the full divine dignity of our nature or we descend to suffer and learn. J.Todd Ferrier Category: Unsorted Fighting is essentially a masculine idea; a womans weapon is her tongue. Hermione Gingold Category: Unsorted Mr. Keating: Seize the day!

Beth Knight Category: Unsorted If these distracted times prove anything they prove that the greatest illusion is reliance upon the security and permanence of material possessions.

You can never take away the magnificent mansion of his mind. John Cudahy Category: Unsorted The fruits of the earth do not more obviously require labor and cultivation to prepare them for our use and subsistence than our faculties demand instruction and regulation in order to qualify us to become upright and valuable members of society useful to others or happy ourselves.

Reuben Blades Category: Unsorted When mom found my diaphram I told her it was a bathing cap for my cat. Liz Winston Category: Unsorted Most of our conflicts and difficulties come from trying to deal with the spiritual and practical aspects of our life separately instead of realizing them as parts of one whole.

The souls house is not built on such a convenient plan; there are few soundproof partitions in it.
