So early in my life, I had learned that if you want something, you had better make some noise.
Der Gedanke ist ein Vogel, der Raum braucht und in einem Käfig von Worten zwar seine Flügel ausbreiten, aber nicht fliegen kann.
Kahlil Gibran
Every actual State is corrupt. Good men must not obey laws too well.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Reverence for life affords me my fundamental principle of morality, namely that good consists in maintaining, assisting, and enhancing life, and that to destroy, to harm, or to hinder life is evil.
Albert Schweitzer
Poetry should be able to reach everybody, and it should be able to appeal to all levels of understanding.
Peter Davison
The world is imprisoned in it's own activity, except where actions are performed as worship of God.
Hindu Spiritual, Bhagavad Gita
One of the main reasons I am so drawn to Hitchcock is that he planned his shots way in advance on story-boards, which he designed like classic paintings (he was an art connoisseur). It's why he found shooting on set boring - because he had already composed the film in his head.
Camille Paglia
How necessary it is to cultivate a spirit of joy. It is a psychological truth that the physical acts of reverence and devotion make one feel devout. The courteous gesture increases one's respect for others. To act lovingly is to begin to feel loving, and certainly to act joyfully brings joy to others which in turn makes one feel joyful. I believe we are called to the duty of delight.
Dorothy Day
One man cannot practice many arts with success.
Plato
No soul is desolate as long as there is a human being for whom it can feel trust and reverence.
George Eliot
Because sometimes you have to do something bad to do something good.
Oscar Wilde
My mom had gotten a Super 8 camera to make home movies with, and my brother and me got our hands on it and ran with it.
Lev Yilmaz
Meekness: Uncommon patience in planning a revenge that is worth while.
Ambrose Bierce
No good is ever done to society by the pictorial representation of its diseases.
John Ruskin
I would like to suggest that the history of science is the history of an enlarging understanding of the universe, its evolution, its history, and its structure. We have engaged the universe at the very limits of our capacity. We have explored the world of the microcosm and the world of the macrocosm. We have found at both extremes incredible complexity.The universe, beginning from an unimaginably hot and dense singularity, evolved through a series of stages, each producing the condition necessary for the succeeding stage. Our sun, our solar system, our planet, our own beings are all late stages of this evolving universe.The insights of cosmology and theoretical astronomy have served to tie us ever more tightly into the emerging story of the universe itself.The history of the universe is our history. We emerged from the same vast processes that created galaxies and suns and stars and planets. We are all of us recycled stardust.from a collection of quotations at http://www.humanistsofutah.org/quotes.html

A theoretical grounding in agronomy must, therefore, include knowledge of biological laws.
Trofim Lysenko
The two hardest tests on the spiritual road are the patience to wait for the right moment and the courage not to be disappointed with what we encounter.
Paulo Coelho
Sometimes it's the smallest decisions that can change your life forever.
Keri Russell
I have the right to do my own thinking. I am going to do it. I have never met any minister that I thought had brain enough to think for himself and for me too. I do my own. I have no reverence for barbarism, no matter how ancient it may be, and no reverence for the savagery of the Old Testament; no reverence for the malice of the New. And let me tell you here tonight that the Old Testament is a thousand times better than the New. The Old Testament threatened no vengeance beyond the grave. God was satisfied when his enemy was dead. It was reserved for the New Testament-it was reserved for universal benevolence - to rend the veil between time and eternity and fix the horrified gaze of man upon the abyss of hell. The New Testament is just as much worse than the Old, as hell is worse than sleep. And yet it is the fashion to say that the Old Testament is bad and that the New Testament is good.I have no reverence for any book that teaches a doctrine contrary to my reason; no reverence for any book that teaches a doctrine contrary to my heart; and, no matter how old it is, no matter how many have believed it, no matter how many have died on account of it, no matter how many live for it, I have no reverence for that book, and I am glad of it.From a collection of quotes at http://www.humanistsofutah.org/quotes.html
Robert G. Ingersoll
But the man who dares to live his life with death before his eyes, the man who receives life back bit by bit and lives as though it did not belong to him by right but has been bestowed on him as a gift, the man who has such freedom and peace of mind that he has overcome death in his thoughts--such a man believes in eternal life because it is already his, it is a present experience, and he already benefits from its peace and joy. He cannot describe this experience in words. He may not be able to conform his view with the traditional picture of it. But one thing he knows for certain: Something within us does not pass away, something goes on living and working wherever the kingdom of the spirit is present. It is already working and living within us, because in our hearts we have been able to reach life by overcoming death.source: http://home.pcisys.net/~jnf/schauth/rq8.html
Albert Schweitzer, Reverence For
Unless a tree has borne blossoms in spring, you will vainly look for fruit on it in autumn.
Walter Scott
The strongest influences in my life and my work are always whomever I love. Whomever I love and am with most of the time, or whomever I remember most vividly. I think that's true of everyone, don't you?
Tennessee Williams
Will suspected Jem was in fact cleverer than he was himself - but he lacked Will's tendency to assume the absolute worst about people and proceed from there.
Cassandra Clare
Let reverence for the laws, be breathed by every American mother, to the lisping babe, that prattles on her lap -- let it be taught in schools, in seminaries, and in colleges; let it be written in Primers, spelling books, and in Almanacs; -- let it be preached from the pulpit, proclaimed in legislative halls, and enforced in courts of justice. And, in short, let it become the political religion of the nation; and let the old and the young, the rich and the poor, the grave and the gay, of all sexes and tongues, and colors and conditions, sacrifice unceasingly upon its altars.
Abraham Lincoln, Lyceum Address,
However, I must say that I am very happy to see that we have such a positive result for our first referendum in our history and that gives me more confidence in Taiwan's democracy.
Chen Shui-bian
Life is one grand, sweet song, so start the music.
Ronald Reagan
This leads to the further reflection, that no other human occupation opens so wide a field for the profitable and agreeable combination of labor with cultivated thought, as agriculture. I know of nothing so pleasant to the mind, as the discovery of anything which is at once new and valuable -- nothing which so lightens and sweetens toil, as the hopeful pursuit of such discovery. And how vast, and how varied a field is agriculture, for such discovery. The mind, already trained to thought, in the country school, or higher school, cannot fail to find there an exhaustless source of profitable enjoyment.
Abraham Lincoln, Address before
I'm one of those women who likes to chat and share knowledge and pass it around.
Jennie Garth
A truly wise man is always joyful.
Leo Tolstoy
The old general rule was that educated people did not perform manual labor. They managed to eat their bread, leaving the toil of producing it to the uneducated. This was not an insupportable evil to the working bees, so long as the class of drones remained very small. But now, especially in these free States, nearly all are educated--quite too nearly all, to leave the labor of the uneducated, in any wise adequate to the support of the whole. It follows from this that henceforth educated people must labor. Otherwise, education itself would become a positive and intolerable evil. No country can sustain, in idleness, more than a small percentage of its numbers. The great majority must labor at something productive.
No other investment yields as great a return as the investment in education. An educated workforce is the foundation of every community and the future of every economy.
Brad Henry
Vaulting ambition, which o'erleaps itself And falls on the other side
William Shakespeare
Each man is haunted until his humanity awakens.
William Blake
I know reverence sound far out, but think back to the best boss you've ever worked for or the best team you've ever worked on or the best subordinates you've ever worked with. Tell me; was there reverence in that situation?
Jack Hawley, Reawakening the Spi
If you reveal your secrets to the wind you should not blame the wind for revealing them to the trees.
Chinese people themselves, they really want change.
Dalai Lama
Behold the Child among his new-born blissesA six years' Darling of a pigmy size!See, where 'mid work of his own hand he lies,Fretted by sallies of his mother's kisses,With light upon him from his father's eyes!See, at his feet, some little plan or chart,Some fragment from his dream of human life,Shaped by himself with newly-learned art.
William Wordsworth, Ode: Intimat
Before I went to jail, I was active in politics as a member of South Africa's leading organization - and I was generally busy from 7 A.M. until midnight. I never had time to sit and think.
Nelson Mandela
Only a human being who is deeply moved by awe and who remains in a state of reverence does not fall prey to the will-to-explore-and-dominate that which shows itself to him, but remains all ears and eyes for the summons of the awe-inspiring phenomena. The awe-inspired person does not want to get hold of or to possess what he reveres, with the aid of his intellectual concepts. He seeks only to get himself into the frame of mind appropriate to the revered object--one which renders him open to its summons and makes his vision clear for its beckonings. He knows: if he manages to comply with the phenomenon that is worthy of his awe so perfectly that he catches sight of its entire truth, he has succeeded also in releasing himself from the chaos of all delusions.http://www.hermes-press.com/elemental_index_one.htm

I have great faith in fools self-confidence my friends call it.
Edgar Allan Poe
Nothing that is worth doing can be achieved in our lifetime;Therefore, we must be saved by hope.Nothing which is true, or beautiful, or good, makes complete sense in any immediate context of history;Therefore, we must be saved by faith.Nothing we do, however virtuous, could be accomplished alone;Therefore, we must be saved by love.No virtuous act is quite as virtuous from the standpoint of our friend or foe as it is from our own standpoint;Therefore, we must be saved by the final form of love, which is forgiveness.
