Evil gains work their punishment.
Sophocles
You see but your shadow when you turn your back to the sun.

To accuse others for one's own misfortunes is a sign of want of education. To accuse oneself shows that one's education has begun. To accuse neither oneself nor others shows that one's education is complete.
Epictetus
The only justice is to follow the sincere intuition of the soul, angry or gentle. Anger is just, and pity is just, but judgement is never just.
David Herbert Lawrence
Dreams are the touchstones of our character.
Henry David Thoreau
I try to remember, as I hear about friends getting engaged, that it's not about the ring and it's not about the wedding. It's a grave thing, getting married. And it's easy to get swept up in the wrong things.
Gwyneth Paltrow
I do not believe a man can ever leave his business. He ought to think of it by day and dream of it by night.

The sparks fly in his face.
Benjamin Franklin
Write drunk; edit sober.
Ernest Hemingway
Every president has to live with the result of what Lyndon Johnson did with Vietnam, when he lost the trust of the American people in the presidency.

A lot of journalists like to suck up to celebrities, and then as soon as they're a safe distance away at their computers, they take shots. But that's the way society has become, especially in pop culture.
Scott Weiland
Dancing: the vertical expression of a horizontal desire legalized by music.
George Bernard Shaw
Every time you get angry, you poison your own system.
Alfred A. Montapert

Right defeated is stronger than evil triumphant
Martin Luther King Jr.
The trouble isn't that there are too many fools, but that the lightning isn't distributed right.
Mark Twain
In war, when a commander becomes so bereft of reason and perspective that he fails to understand the dependence of arms on Divine guidance, he no longer deserves victory.
Lucius Annaeus Seneca
Every single major push in education has made it worse and right now it's really bad because everything we've done is de-humanizing education. It's destroying the possibility of the teacher and the student having a warm, friendly, intellectual relationship.
William Glasser
I thought: We are not close enough. I thought: He will not hear it. I thought: He will hear it and be out so fast that we will have no chance. I thought: Twenty seconds. I was breathing hard ans fast.
John Green
The man who can make hard things easy is the educator
Ralph Waldo Emerson
To provoke dreams of terror in the slumber of prosperity has become the moral duty of literature.
Ernst Fischer
I talked about my family, my family's so important.
Jim Valvano
The symbols of the Gospel for the state of the sick soul are sick bodies; but because one body cannot be sick enough to express it well, several have been needed. Thus there are the deaf, the dumb, the blind, the paralytic, the dead Lazarus, the possessed. All this crowd is in the sick soul.
Blaise Pascal
Word of mouth is the best medium of all.
William Bernbach
Growing up, my sisters and I would always talk stories. One of my frustrations was I didn't know anything about cameras. I didn't know how to make a film and I obviously didn't have a special effects budget. I was a kid. So I was learning to draw to get down the stuff that was in my head, that I couldn't afford to actually do.
Jennifer Yuh Nelson
War is the ultimate tool of politics.
R. Buckminster Fuller
Marley was dead: to begin with.

I'd love to do a romantic comedy. And perhaps, if the character was right and I had a good gut instinct, a Bollywood movie. And I'd love to direct. One day. I'm learning a lot on the set of 'The Good Wife.'
Archie Panjabi
How nice-to feel nothing, and still get full credit for being alive.
Kurt Vonnegut
If you think your teacher is tough, wait until you get a boss. He doesn't have tenure.
Bill Gates
If every one said orders were impossible to carry out when they were received where would you be? Where would we all be if you just said, Impossible, when orders came?
We cannot walk alone. And as we walk, we must make the pledge that we shall always march ahead. We cannot turn back.
The only deep emotion I occasionally felt in these affairs was gratitude, when all was going well and I was left, not only peace, but freedom to come and go--never kinder and gayer with one woman than when I had just left another's bed, as if I extended to all others the debt I had just contracted toward one of them.
Albert Camus
We all want progress, but if you're on the wrong road, progress means doing an about-turn and walking back to the right road; in that case, the man who turns back soonest is the most progressive.
C.S. Lewis
The individual has always had to struggle to keep from being overwhelmed by the tribe. If you try it, you will be lonely often, and sometimes frightened. But no price is too high to pay for the privilege of owning yourself.
Friedrich Nietzsche
I find capitalism repugnant. It is filthy, it is gross, it is alienating... because it causes war, hypocrisy and competition.
Fidel Castro
As always, the blessed relief of starting, a feeling that was like falling into a hole filled with bright light.As always, the glum knowledge that he would not write as well as he wanted to write. As always the terror of not being able to finish, of accelerating into a brick wall. As always, the marvelous joyful nervy feeling of journey begun.
Stephen King
