Smile from your heart; nothing is more beautiful than a woman who is happy to be herself.

The conscience of the dying belies their life.

Always continue the climb. It is possible for you to do whatever you choose, if you first get to know who you are and are willing to work with a power that is greater than ourselves to do it.

Ella Wheeler Wilcox

William James

Herman Melville

If global cooling will come soon - scientists will lose trust.

Shigenori Maruyama

For morality life is a war, and the service of the highest is a sort of cosmic patriotism which also calls for volunteers.

William James

Many years ago I was so innocent I still considered it possible that we could become the humane and reasonable America so many members of my generation used to dream of. We dreamed of such an America during the Great Depression, when there were no jobs. And then we fought and often died for that dream during the Second World War, when there was no peace.But I know now that there is not a chance in hell of America becoming humane and reasonable. Because power corrupts us, and absolute power corrupts us absolutely. Human beings are chimpanzees who get crazy drunk on power. By saying that our leaders are power-drunk chimpanzees, am I in danger of wrecking the morale of our soldiers fighting and dying in the Middle East? Their morale, like so many lifeless bodies, is already shot to pieces. They are being treated, as I never was, like toys a rich kid got for Christmas.

Kurt Vonnegut

Think of what happened after 9/11, the minute before there was any assessment, there was glee in the administration because now we can invade Iraq, and so the war drums beat.

Ron Paul

All men who have turned out worth anything have had the chief hand in their own education.

Sir Walter Scott

The only true vision comes not from God but from the inmost recesses of the human mind.

Orson Scott Card

Love all, but trust a few.

William Shakespeare
