When the heart has acquired stillness, it will look upon the heights and depths of knowledge , and the intellect, once quieted, will be given to hear wonderful things from God.
I've searched all the parks in all the cities and found no statues of committees.
G. K. Chesterton
Otherwise I don't read much adult poetry at all, because I'm not smart enough and mostly I don't get it.
Jack Prelutsky
It is probably true that business corrupts everything it touches. It corrupts politics, sports, literature, art, labor unions and so on. But business also corrupts and undermines monolithic totalitarianism. Capitalism is at its liberating best in a noncapitalist environment.
Eric Hoffer
Christianity is usually called a religion. As a religion it has had a wider geographic spread and is more deeply rooted among more peoples than any other religion in the history of mankind.
Kenneth Scott Latourette
There are similarities between absolute power and absolute faith: a demand for absolute obedience, a readiness to attempt the impossible, a bias for simple solutionsto cut the knot rather than unravel it, the viewing of compromise as surrender. Both absolute power and absolute faith are instruments of dehumanization. Hence, absolute faith corrupts as absolutely as absolute power.
There is probably an element of malice in the readiness to overestimate people; we are laying up for ourselves the pleasure of later cutting them down to size.
We can remember minutely and precisely only the things which never really happened to us.
And harmony means that the relationship between all the elements used in a composition is balanced, is good.
Karlheinz Stockhausen
It is loneliness that makes the loudest noise. This is as true of men as of dogs.
Hopefully, imparting what's important to me, respect for the food and that information about the purveyors, people will realize that for a restaurant to be good, so many pieces have to come together.
Thomas Keller
I was probably the only revolutionary referred to as cute.
Abbie Hoffman
Ideals are the worlds masters.
Josiah Gilbert Holland
The answer to old age is to keep one's mind busy and to go on with one's life as if it were interminable. I always admired Chekhov for building a new house when he was dying of tuberculosis.
Leon Edel
Joys divided are increased.
I wish my parents hadn't made me feel that how I looked was linked to how much they loved me. But I do also see how hard it must be to see your child pile on the pounds and trust they'll find their own way back to a healthy weight.
Arabella Weir
Labor is the instituted means for the methodical development of all our powers under the direction and control of the will.
I want to light the lights of patriotism.
Lech Walesa
People break down after a couple of hours. All the defenses go down, and there's a kind of communication that if I spent 20 years in a living room with one of these people, I would never, never know as much about them as I do in that one day.
Lee Grant
The gays like 'Project Runway' because it's a fashion, and the gays are into fashion and into design. It's a creative industry, and most of the gays are pretty creative, in general. That's just like the culture. We're not all into politics necessarily. We're more into the creative environment. I also think Heidi is a big draw. The boys love Heidi and think she's so fabulous. I just think it's a glitzy, fun show, and there are also always lots of gay boys on it, and, you know, that's fun.
Christian Siriano
Every nation has to either be with us, or against us. Those who harbor terrorists, or who finance them, are going to pay a price.
Hillary Clinton
The amount of hassle involved in travel can be overwhelming.
Paul Theroux
Today we know that World War II began not in 1939 or 1941 but in the 1920's and 1930's when those who should have known better persuaded themselves that they were not their brother's keeper.
Hubert H. Humphrey
Life is painting a picture, not doing a sum.
Oliver Wendell Holmes, Jr.
While you're improvising, you may come up with something which will break him up. As soon as that smile comes out, you know that, hey, we're having fun.
Shelley Berman
My father was a Catholic, but my mother wasn't. She had to do that weird deal you do as a Catholic - they deign to sanction your marriage and you have to bring your children up as Catholics.
Jared Harris
Women are always most observed when they seem themselves least to observe, or to lay out for observation.
Samuel Richardson
The things that have been most valuable to me I did not learn in school.
Will Smith
It is impossible, in our condition of Society, not to be sometimes a Snob.
William Makepeace Thackeray
I used food as a coping mechanism for many, many years, and it was my best friend for a long time.
Carnie Wilson
A grandchild is a miracle, but a renewed relationship with your own children is even a greater one.
T. Berry Brazelton
I would love to work with Paolo Nutini because he is so soulful and an amazing songwriter.
Birdy
For the life of me, I don't understand what honest motive there is in putting this in front of this body to philosophically debate marriage on a constitutional amendment that is not going to happen, and which is enormously divisive in all of our communities.
Dianne Feinstein
Well, unfortunately, I have always regretted the fact that I have a temper, but I also have, you know, have great love and respect for all of the people that have worked for me. I think like everything else, this is one of those things that has been blown out of proportion.
Norman Schwarzkopf
If you do not ask the right questions, you do not get the right answers. A question asked in the right way often points to its own answer. Asking questions is the A-B-C of diagnosis. Only the inquiring mind solves problems.
Edward Hodnett
I just need enough to tide me over until I need more.
Bill Hoest
I may have faults, but being wrong ain't one of them.
Jimmy Hoffa

Stop worrying about the potholes in the road and celebrate the journey!
Barbara Hoffman
Fear of the pain blinds us to the goal of healing. Only by seeing our problems clearly and experiencing them can we do something about them.
