The tongue is the only tool that gets sharper with use.
Higher education must lead the march back to the fundamentals of human relationships, to the old discovery that is ever new, that man does not live by bread alone.
John A. Hannah
It is in the social sphere, in the realm of politics and economics, that the Will to Order becomes really dangerous.
Aldous Huxley
When a small child, I thought that success spelled happiness. I was wrong, happiness is like a butterfly which appears and delights us for one brief moment, but soon flits away.
Anna Pavlova
A fat stomach never breeds fine thoughts.
St. Jerome
Nevertheless, in order to imbue civilization with sound principles and enliven it with the spirit of the gospel, it is not enough to be illumined with the gift of faith and enkindled with the desire of forwarding a good cause. For this end it is necessary to take an active part in the various organizations and influence them from within. And since our present age is one of outstanding scientific and technical progress and excellence, one will not be able to enter these organizations and work effectively from within unless he is scientifically competent, technically capable and skilled in the practice of his own profession.
Pope John XXIII
The god whom science recognizes must be a God of universal laws exclusively, a God who does a wholesale, not a retail business. He cannot accommodate his processes to the convenience of individuals.
William James
The soul that sees beauty may sometimes walk alone.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Every man is tasked to make his life, even in its details, worthy of the contemplation of his most elevated and critical hour
Henry David Thoreau
My two daughters live on Facebook, and social media is their mode of communication.
Tony Goldwyn
Measuring programming progress by lines of code is like measuring aircraft building progress by weight.
Bill Gates
Being a celebrity you always get really good seats to sporting events but you never get as good seats as the photographers get. And I really love sports. So one of the scams I have going now is I want to learn sports photography so I can get better seats at a sporting event.
Drew Carey
It's rather splendid to think of all those great men and women who appear to have presented symptoms that allow us to describe them as bipolar. Whether it's Hemingway, Van Gogh... Robert Schumann has been mentioned... Virginia Woolf, Sylvia Plath... some of them with rather grim ends.
