Perhaps measuring animal intelligence by comparing it to human intelligence isn't the best litmus test.
The local church is the outcrop of the church universal.
Peter T. Forsyth
It is always the minorities that hold the key of progress.

Having leveled my palace, don't erect a hovel and complacently admire your own charity in giving me that for a home.
Emily Bronte
Bring me men to match my mountains: Bring me men to match my plains: Men with empires in their purpose and new eras in their brains.
The history of the last century shows, as we shall see later, that the advice given to governments by bankers, like the advice they gave to industrialists, was consistently good for bankers, but was often disastrous for governments, businessmen, and the people generally.
Carroll Quigley
He was a friend to man, and lived in a house by the side of the road. HOMER There are hermit souls that live withdrawnIn the peace of their self-content;There are souls, like stars, that dwell apart,In a fellowless firmament;There are pioneer souls that blaze their pathsWhere highways never ran;But let me live by the side of the roadAnd be a friend to man. Let me live in a house by the side of the road,Where the race of men go byThe men who are good and the men who are bad,As good and as bad as I. I would not sit in the scorners seat,Or hurl the cynics ban;Let me live in a house by the side of the roadAnd be a friend to man. I see from my house by the side of the road,By the side of the highway of life,The men who press with the ardor of hope,The men who are faint with the strife. But I turn not away from their smiles nor their tearsBoth parts of an infinite plan;Let me live in my house by the side of the roadAnd be a friend to man. I know there are brook-gladdened meadows aheadAnd mountains of wearisome height;That the road passes on through the long afternoonAnd stretches away to the night. But still I rejoice when the travellers rejoice,And weep with the strangers that moan. Nor live in my house by the side of the roadLike a man who dwells alone. Let me live in my house by the side of the roadWhere the race of men go byThey are good, they are bad, they are weak, they are strong,Wise, foolish so am I. Then why should I sit in the scorners seatOr hurl the cynics ban?Let me live in my house by the side of the roadAnd be a friend to man.
Freedom is just chaos with better lighting.
Alan Dean Foster
The truth is that men are tired of liberty.
Benito Mussolini
Normal is not something to aspire to, it's something to get away from.
Jodie Foster
Under the influence of fear, which always leads men to take a pessimistic view of things, they magnified their enemies' resources, and minimized their own.
Titus Livius
I don't need to be Tom Cruise. I just need to work forever.
A man without decision can never be said to belong to himself.
John W. Foster
For my scale, how I grew up and live my life, I'm making plenty of money.
Louis C. K.
Few are sufficiently sensible of the importance of that economy in reading which selects, almost exclusively, the very first order of books. Why, except for some special reason, read an inferior book, at the very time you might be reading one of the highest order?
One of the strongest characteristics of genius is the power of lighting its own fire.
You should also appreciate the goodness around you, and surround yourself with positive people.
Nadia Comaneci
The pride of dying rich raises the loudest laugh in hell.
Most men pray for power, the strength to do things. Few people pray for love, the quality to be someone.
Robert D. Foster
Quality is never an accident; it is always the result of high intention, sincere effort, intelligent direction and skillful execution; it represents the wise choice of many alternatives.
William A. Foster
For me, prose walks, poetry dances.
James Broughton
It is worse than a crime: it is a mistake.
Joseph Fouche
Middle age is when your old classmates are so grey and wrinkled and bald they don't recognize you.
Bennett Cerf
Women do not win formula one races, because they simply are not strong enough to resist the G-forces. In the boardroom, it is different. I believe women are better able to marshal their thoughts than men and because they are less egotistical they make fewer assumptions.
Nicola Foulston
Happy were men if they but understood There is no safety but in doing good
John Fountain
Just as courage imperils life, fear protects it.
Leonardo da Vinci
Great individuals are not only popular themselves, but they give popularity to whatever they touch.
Fournier
Do not always prove yourself to be the one in the right. The right will appear. You need only give it a chance.
C. H. Fowler
What I've learned in these 11 years is you just got to stay focused and believe in yourself and trust your own ability and judgment.
Mark Cuban
I am glad that I paid so little attention to good advice; had I abided by it I might have been saved from some of my most valuable mistakes.
Gene Fowler
Everything is clearer when you're in love.
John Lennon
Psychoanalysts seem to be long on information and short on application.
I do think sometimes there's danger in guest appearance mania. I've seen too many examples that sound cool on paper, like 'Oh, get that guy to sing the hook on that guy's song,' and then that's all it is. It's a cool idea that sounds good on paper.
Ezra Koenig
Perhaps no mightier conflict of mind occurs ever again in a lifetime than that first decision to unseat one's own tooth.
Quotation... A writer expresses himself in words that have been used before because they give his meaning better than he can give it himself, or because they are beautiful or witty, or because he expects them to touch a cord of association in his reader, or because he wishes to show that he is learned and well read. Quotations due to the last motive are invariably ill-advised; the discerning reader detects it and is contemptuous; the undiscerning is perhaps impressed, but even then is at the same time repelled, pretentious quotations being the surest road to tedium.
Henry W. Fowler
My mom was always pretty supportive. She saw me do plays and she'd always act out the parts I did. My aunt, who played a big part in my life, was a little bit more reserved, because if they don't see you on TV every week they think you must be starving.
Angela Bassett
It is important not to ignore forecasts that are uncongenial.
Jib Fowles
It's like why people read scary books or go see scary movies. Because it creates a distance. They're scared, but they're not going to get hurt.
Vincent D'Onofrio
He that is conscious of guilt cannot bear the innocence of others: So they will try to reduce all others to their own level.
