Texas has yet to learn submission to any oppression, come from what source it may.

The age of innocent faith in science and technology may be over.

Barry Commoner

Once is orthodox, twice is puritanical.

Lord Melbourne

Our songs touch people, and take them back to a time when there was no threat of terrorism, when you didn't have to lock your doors and when Mom and Dad took care of everything.

George Grove

As people are walking all the time, in the same spot, a path appears.

John Locke

Real men laugh at opposition; real men smile when enemies appear.

Marcus Garvey

Tears are the natural penalties of pleasure. It is a law that we should pay for all that we enjoy.

William Gilmore Simms

The highest manifestation of life consists in this: that a being governs its own actions. A thing which is always subject to the direction of another is somewhat of a dead thing.

Thomas Aquinas

From every book invisible threads reach out to other books; and as the mind comes to use and control those threads the whole panorama of the world's life, past and present, becomes constantly more varied and interesting, while at the same time the mind's own powers of reflection and judgment are exercised and strengthened.

Helen E. Haines

The enemy advances, we retreat; the enemy camps, we harass; the enemy tires, we attack; the enemy retreats, we pursue.

Mao Zedong

Balance. It was all about balance. That had been one of the first things that she had learned: the centre of the seesaw has neither up nor down, but upness and downness flow through it while it remains unmoved. You had to be the centre of the seesaw so the pain flowed you, not you. It was very hard. But she could do it!

Terry Pratchett

Talk to a woman as if you loved her, and to a man as if he bored you.

Oscar Wilde

Men would rather be starving and free than fed in bonds.

Pearl Buck
