If you want to see the true measure of a man, watch how he treats his inferiors, not his equals.
God forbid that India should ever take to industrialism after the manner of the west... keeping the world in chains. If [our nation] took to similar economic exploitation, it would strip the world bare like locusts.

Be truthful, nature only sides with truth.
Adolf Loos
The characteristic of scientific progress is our knowing that we did not know.
Gaston Bachelard
At the end of the day I have always seen the end of my relationships as a personal failure. There is nothing ever pretty in saying goodbye.
Elisabetta Canalis
The repose of sleep refreshes only the body. It rarely sets the soul at rest. The repose of the night does not belong to us. It is not the possession of our being. Sleep opens within us an inn for phantoms. In the morning we must sweep out the shadows.
A statesman is he who thinks in the future generations, and a politician is he who thinks in the upcoming elections.
Abraham Lincoln
To have been torn from the study would have been as death my time was entirely occupied with art.
John James Audubon
To feel most beautifully alive means to be reading something beautiful, ready always to apprehend in the flow of language the sudden flash of poetry.
The man who loves other countries as much as his own stands on a level with the man who loves other women as much as he loves his own wife.
Theodore Roosevelt
My programming language was solder.
Terry Pratchett
Even a minor event in the life of a child is an event of that child's world and thus a world event.
I hope that as the Senate and American people learn more about me, they will see that I am an ordinary person who has been blessed with extraordinary opportunities and experiences.
Sonia Sotomayor
I am a dreamer of words, of written words. I think I am reading; a word stops me. I leave the page. The syllables of the word begin to move around. Stressed accents begin to invert. The word abandons its meaning like an overload which is too heavy and prevents dreaming. Then words take on other meanings as if they had the right to be young. And the words wander away, looking in the nooks and crannies of vocabulary for new company, bad company.
Oliver has long since grown stout and healthy; but health or sickness made no difference in his warm feelings to those about him, though they do in the feelings of a great many people. He was still the same gentle, attached, affectionate creature that he had been when pain and suffering had wasted his strength; and when he was dependent for every slight attention and comfort on those who tended him.
Charles Dickens
The words of the world want to make sentences.
I wish I got a little bit more time at home. I am away a lot and being around my loved ones and friends is good for me. It grounds me. It's something I need to make more time for. I think I need a little more balance.
Katherine Jenkins
A walk about Paris will provide lessons in history, beauty, and in the point of Life.
Thomas Jefferson
A word is a bud attempting to become a twig. How can one not dream while writing? It is the pen which dreams. The blank page gives the right to dream.
Be curious always! For knowledge will not acquire you: you must acquire it.
Sudie Back
Error always addresses the passions and prejudices; truth scorns such mean intrigue, and only addresses the understanding and the conscience.
Azel Backus
Of all acts of man repentance is the most divine. The greatest of all faults is to be conscious of none.
Thomas Carlyle
Many a man owes his success to his first wife and his second wife to his success.
Jim Backus
Any idiot can get laid when they're famous. That's easy. It's getting laid when you're not famous that takes some talent.
Kevin Bacon
The key to failure is ignoring Cosmic Ordering.
Stephen Richards
Argument is conclusive... but... it does not remove doubt, so that the mind may rest in the sure knowledge of the truth, unless it finds it by the method of experiment. For if any man who never saw fire proved by satisfactory arguments that fire burns. his hearer's mind would never be satisfied, nor would he avoid the fire until he put his hand in it that he might learn by experiment what argument taught.
Roger Bacon
To imply that religious believers have no right to engage moral questions in the public square or at the ballot is simply to establish a Reichian secularism as our state faith.
Maggie Gallagher
All science requires mathematics. The knowledge of mathematical things is almost innate in us. This is the easiest of sciences, a fact which is obvious in that no one's brain rejects it; for laymen and people who are utterly illiterate know how to count and reckon.
Do you want to spend the rest of your life selling sugared water or do you want a chance to change the world?
Steve Jobs
The truth is, I think we are a self-less society, not a selfish society. Because we're so busy now.

A good neighbor is a fellow who smiles at you over the back fence, but doesn't climb over it.
Arthur Baer
Fear and pain and suffering is not OK for any being to feel intentionally at the hands of us.
Leona Lewis
A dreamer, a good man, a kind man who cared less for his plan than for the people in it.
Orson Scott Card
I don't know what I would have done without believing in God. His support gives me power and energy to continue to be optimistic, to smile, not to be depressed. Sometimes, if things are not going so well, I don't cry. I say maybe it's meant to be.
Ofra Haza
Revenge is an act of passion; vengeance of justice. Injuries are revenged; crimes are avenged.
Samuel Johnson
We live in a funny time. If you don't go corporate, you can't compete. You're relegated as irrelevant. People used to admire that.
