Thomas Jefferson
Morality is the basis of things and truth is the substance of all morality.
Mahatma Gandhi
Like success, failure is many things to many people. With Positive Mental Attitude, failure is a learning experience, a rung on the ladder, a plateau at which to get your thoughts in order and prepare to try again.
W. Clement Stone

Mehmet Oz
Chuck Parson did not participate in organized sports, because to do so would distract from his larger goal of his life: to one day be convicted of murder
John Green
After I became a citizen, I felt freer to say what I thought about this country, both negative and positive. I think I had been, consciously and subconsciously, biting my tongue in the past.
Robert Macneil
At my core, what I think we need to do is to get the basics right again. We need to rebuild our family structure, stay away from redefining marriage, and stand by marriage as a union between a man and a woman.
Sam Brownback
Pleasure is the only thing one should live for, nothing ages like happiness.
Oscar Wilde

Liberty Hyde Bailey
There is the truth; everything else is a cache.
Anonymous
My favorite type of music to sing and to listen to, you know, rock. It's not always metal, but you know, half the time it is. Metal's cool, you know? Not everybody on 'American Idol' listens to metal.
James Durbin
Mathematics may be defined as the subject in which we never know what we are talking about, nor whether what we are saying is true
Bertrand Russell
A type of revolutionary novelty may be extremely beautiful in itself; but, for the creatures of habit that we are, its very novelty tends to make it illegible, at any rate to begin with.
Aldous Huxley
I think there's a future where the Web and print coexist and they each do things uniquely and complement each other, and we have what could be the ultimate and best-yet array of journalistic venues.
Dave Eggers
It's a different era. Our job now is to show leadership and vision and to help the next generation of artists.
Karen Kain
You can either invade a country or leave them alone and trade with them. When goods cross borders, armies don't.
John Stossel
Fascism should rightly be called Corporatism, as it is the merger of corporate and government power.
Benito Mussolini
We can't have full knowledge all at once. We must start by believing then afterwards we may be led on to master the evidence for ourselves.
Thomas Aquinas
Many a revolution started with the actions of a few. Only 56 men signed the Declaration of Independence. A few hanging together can lead a nation to change.
Wynton Marsalis
It's hardware that makes a machine fast. It's software that makes a fast machine slow.
Craig Bruce
My dad farmed, my granddad was a farmer. I wanted to be a farmer.
It's the movies that have really been running things in America ever since they were invented. They show you what to do, how to do it, when to do it, how to feel about it, and how to look how you feel about it. Everybody has their own America, and then they have the pieces of a fantasy America that they think is out there but they can't see.
Andy Warhol
Dawkins considers that all faith is blind faith, and that Christian and Muslim children are brought up to believe unquestioningly. Not even the dim-witted clerics who knocked me about at grammar school thought that.
Terry Eagleton
The democracy will cease to exist when you take away from those who are willing to work and give to those who would not.
I used to think that everything was just being funny but now I don't know. I mean, how can you tell?
Digressions, objections, delight in mockery, carefree mistrust are signs of health everything unconditional belongs in pathology.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Isn't life a series of images that change as they repeat themselves?
Those who talk about individuality the most are the ones who most object to deviation, and in a few years it may be the other way around. Some day everybody will just think what they want to think, and then everybody will probably be thinking alike; that
To be charitable, one may admit that the religious often seem unaware of how insulting their main proposition actually is. Exchange views with a believer even for a short time, and let us make the assumption that this is a mild and decent believer who does not open the bidding by telling you that your unbelief will endanger your soul and condemn you to hell. It will not be long until you are politely asked how you can possibly know right from wrong. Without holy awe, what is to prevent you form resorting to theft, murder, rape, and perjury? It will sometimes be conceded that non-believers have led ethical lives, and it will also be conceded (as it had better be) that many believers have been responsible for terrible crimes. Nonetheless, the working assumption is that we should have no moral compass if we were not somehow in thrall to an unalterable and unchallengeable celestial dictatorship. What a repulsive idea!
Christopher Hitchens
People need to be made more aware of the need to work at learning how to live because life is so quick and sometimes it goes away too quickly
But, you know, I feel more fellowship with the defeated than with saints. Heroism and sanctity don't really appeal to me, I imagine. What interests me is being a man.
I am a deeply superficial person.
Your pain is the breaking of the shell that encloses your understanding. Even as the stone of the fruit must break, that its heart may stand in the sun, so must you know pain.
Kahlil Gibran
Before I was shot, I always thought that I was more half-there than all-there -- I always suspected that I was watching TV instead of living life. Right when I was being shot and ever since, I knew that I was watching television.
He that will not apply new remedies must expect new evils for time is the greatest innovator.
Francis Bacon
Since people are going to be living longer and getting older, they'll just have to learn how to be babies longer.
