Not a single right is indestructible: a new might can at any time abolish it, hence, man possesses not a single permanent right. God is Might (and He is shifty, malicious, and uncertain).
Your own reason is the only oracle given you by heaven, and you are answerable for, not the rightness, but the uprightness of the decision
Thomas Jefferson
Words are like eggs dropped from great heights; you can no more call them back than ignore the mess they leave when they fall.
Jodi Picoult
The cock, that is the trumpet to the morn
William Shakespeare
Look at the language. If a scientist delivers the simple, unconditional, absolutely certain statements that politicians and journalists want, he is talking as an activist, not a scientist.
Daniel Gardner
For 'tis a truth well known to most, That whatsoever thing is lost We seek it, ere it come to light, In every cranny but the right
William Cowper
I don't want to spend the rest of my life in politics. When I'm finished with my term as governor, I'm going back to the life that's waiting for me in the private sector.
Jesse Ventura
Strong-willed heart, always makes me feel so touched. It reminds me about some 'fall and rise again' in my life.
Toba Beta
The manly part is to do with might and main what you can do
Ralph Waldo Emerson
We have such a terrible, terrible misconception of science. We think it involves the definite, the precise, the known; it is a horrid series of gates to an unknown as vast of the universe; which means endless.
Anne Rice
A real scientist solves problems, not wails that they are unsolvable.
Anne McCaffrey
I'm not vicious really. I consider myself kind-hearted. I love my mum.
Sid Vicious
The essence of the Dharma (the teachings of the Buddha) is about identifying the cause of our suffering
Allan Lokos
Many physicists these days sound like the Delphic oracle - with equations.
John Twelve Hawks
The years that are gone seem like dreams -if one might go on sleeping and dreaming- but to wake up and find -oh! well! perhaps it is better to wake up after all, even to suffer, rather than to remain a dupe to illusions all ones life.
Kate Chopin
The flimsy little protestations that mark the front gate of every novel, the solemn statements that any resemblance to real persons living or dead is entirely coincidental, are fraudulent every time. A writer has no other material to make his people from than the people of his experience ... The only thing the writer can do is to recombine parts, suppress some characterisitics and emphasize others, put two or three people into one fictional character, and pray the real-life prototypes won't sue.
Wallace Stegner
Western civilization, Christianity, decency are struggling for their very lives. In this worldwide civil war, race prejudice is our most dangerous enemy, for it is a disease at the very root of our democratic life.
Mordecai Wyatt Johnson
I don't think it's always good to read lots of poetry.
Amber Tamblyn
I love technology.
William Shatner
I'm learning English at the moment. I can say 'Big Ben', 'Hello Rodney', 'Tower Bridge' and 'Loo'.
Cher
I urge the Iraqi leadership for sake of its own people... to seize this opportunity and thereby begin to end the isolation and suffering of the Iraqi people.
Kofi Annan
Adversity's sweet milk, philosophy
Every man who has in his soul a secret feeling of revolt against any act of the State, of life, or of destiny, is on the verge of riot; and so soon as it appears, he begins to quiver, and to feel himself borne away by the whirlwind.
Victor Hugo
He (God) is right and always has been, because in reality God is only love.
Deepak Chopra
To those who don't want the truth about Kennedy's assassination to become known, the very repetition of a charge lends it a certain credibility, since people have a tendency to believe that where there's smoke, there's fire.
Jim Garrison
If you mean to make your side of the argument appear plausible, do not prejudice the people against what you think truth by your passionate manner of defending it.
James Burgh
But that's the challenge -- to change the system more than it changes you.
Michael Pollan
There is a face beneath this mask, but it isn't me. I'm no more that face than I am the muscles beneath it, or the bones beneath that.
Steve Moore
Liberty? Independence? Are they to remain only words? Gentlemen, let us make them fighting words!
Nathan Hale
For people who say they hate being lied to, just start telling them nothing but the pure truth--about everything. That will teach them
Seth Adam Brown
But now they have it down to a real science where it's about an hour.
Michael Dorn
Like go for a walk, say a little prayerTake a deep breath of mountain airPut on my glove and play some catchIt's time that I make time for thatWade the shore and cast a lineLook up a long lost friend of mineSit on the porch and give my girl a kissStart livin', that's the next thing on my list.
Toby Keith
Scientists have invented a new strain of cannabis without the high. They celebrated with non-alcoholic beer and furious dry-humping.
Stephen Colbert
Love what you do and your heart will lead the rest of the way.
Jill Telford
We are not born into the world. We are born into something that we make into the world.
Michael Talbot
In matters of the heart as well, a certain level of negativity and suspicion is universally recommended. You may try to project a thoroughly positive outlook in order to attract a potential boyfriend, but you are also advised to Google him.
Barbara Ehrenreich
The task of the modern educator is not to cut down jungles but to irrigate deserts. The right defence against false sentiments is to inculcate just sentiments. By starving the sensibility of our pupils we only make them easier prey to the propagandist when he comes. For famished nature will be avenged and a hard heart is no infallible protection against a soft head.
C.S. Lewis
The truth of the matter is the real industry is in LA and the cream of the talent is there.
Charlie Hunnam
If everyone helps to hold up the sky, then one person does not become tired.
Askhari Johnson Hodari
I can talk to all of you, but I can’t talk to any of you.
Jerry Seinfeld
I always considered an idle Life, as a real evil, but, a life of such hurry, such constant hurry, leaves us scarcely a moment for reflection or for the discharge of any other then the most immediate and pressing concerns.
