Every so often, I like to go to the window, look up, and smile for a satellite picture.
There is no such thing as a functional illiterate.
Kelvin Throop III
The real world is not user-friendly
The secret of freedom, courage.
Thucydides
The secret of Happiness is Freedom, and the secret of Freedom, Courage.
Ignorance is bold and knowledge reserved.
Be convinced that to be happy means to be free and that to be free means to be brave. Therefore do not take lightly the perils of war.
Our form of government does not enter into rivalry with the institutions of others. We do not copy our neighbours, but are an example to them. It is true that we are called a democracy, for the administration is in the hands of the many and not of the few. But while the law secures equal justice to all alike in their private disputes, the claim of excellence is also recognised; and when a citizen is in any way distinguished, he is preferred to the public service, not as a matter of privilege, but as the reward of merit. Neither is poverty a bar, but a man may benefit his country whatever be the obscurity of his condition.
An Athenian citizen does not neglect the state because he takes care of his own household; and even those of us who are engaged in business have a very fair idea of politics. We alone regard a man who takes no interest in public affairs, not as a harmless, but as a useless character, and if few of us are originators, we are all sound judges of a policy.
Mens indignation, it seems, is more excited by legal wrong than by violent wrong; the first looks like being cheated by an equal, the second like being compelled by a superior.
We should be taught not to wait for inspiration to start a thing. Action always generates inspiration. Inspiration seldom generates action.
Frank Tibolt
He is not dead who departs from life with a high and noble fame; but he is dead, even while living, whose brow is branded with infamy.
Johann Ludwig Tieck
The most important thing about a man is what he believes in the depth of his being. This is the thing that makes him what he is, The thing that organizes him and feeds him; the thing that keeps him going in the face of untoward circumstances; the thing that gives him resistance.
Hugh Stevenson Tigner
In Switzerland they had brotherly love, five hundred years of democracy and peace, and what did they produce? The cuckoo clock!
Graham Greene
Truly great madness can not be achieved without significant intelligence.
Henrik Tikkanen
The only real progress lies in learning to be wrong all alone.
Albert Camus
Never change a winning game; always change a losing one.
Bill Tilden
Tennis is more than just a sport. It's an art, like the ballet. Or like a performance in the theater. When I step on the court I feel like Anna Pavlova. Or like Adelina Patti. Or even like Sarah Bernhardt. I see the footlights in front of me. I hear the whisperings of the audience. I feel an icy shudder. Win or die! Now or never! It's the crisis of my life.
Courage is rightly esteemed the first of human qualities... because it is the quality which guarantees all others.
Winston Churchill
I hope for the day when everyone can speak again of God without embarrassment.
Paul Tillich
Affection is responsible for nine-tenths of whatever solid and durable happiness there is in our lives.
C. S. Lewis
I loved thee beautiful and kind, And plighted an eternal vow; So altered are thy face and mind, t'were perjury to love thee now!
There lives more faith in honest doubt, believe me, than in half the creeds.
Alfred Tennyson
Our language has wisely sensed the two sides of being alone. It has created the word loneliness to express the pain of being alone. And it has created the word solitude to express the glory of being alone.
Nothing works better than just improving your product.
Joel Spolsky
Depression is rage spread thin.
I saw few die of hunger of eating, a hundred thousand.
Benjamin Franklin
The first duty of love is to listen.
There may be fairies at the bottom of the garden. There is no evidence for it, but you can't prove that there aren't any, so shouldn't we be agnostic with respect to fairies?
Richard Dawkins
Language has created the word loneliness to express the pain of being alone, and the word solitude to express the glory of being alone.
Wisdom I know is social. She seeks her fellows. But Beauty is jealous, and illy bears the presence of a rival.
Thomas Jefferson
We can speak without voice to the trees and the clouds and the waves of the sea. Without words they respond through the rustling of leaves and the moving of clouds and the murmuring of the sea.
Smiles form the channels of a future tear.
Lord Byron
Religion is the state of being grasped by an ultimate concern, a concern which qualifies all other concerns as preliminary and which itself contains the answer to the question of a meaning of our life.
Love can do much, but duty more.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Though all afflictions are evils in themselves, yet they are good for us, because they discover to us our disease and tend to our cure.
John Tillotson
Thou wilt find rest from vain fancies if thou doest every act in life as though it were thy last.
Aristotle
The crafty person is always in danger; and when they think they walk in the dark, all their pretenses are transparent.
It is by the goodness of God that in our country we have those three unspeakably precious things: freedom of speech, freedom of conscience, and the prudence never to practice either of them.
Mark Twain
The art of using deceit and cunning grow continually weaker and less effective to the user.
The need for change bulldozed a road down the center of my mind.
Maya Angelou
