Somehow the people who do as they please seem to get along just about as well as those who are always trying to please others.

Robert C. Edwards

Gambling with cards or dice or stocks is all one thing. It's getting money without giving an equivalent for it.

Henry Ward Beecher

Brian Sandoval

The humans live in time but our Enemy destines them to eternity. He therefore, I believe, wants them to attend chiefly to two things, to eternity itself, and to that point of time which they call the Present. For the Present is the point at which time touches eternity.

C.S. Lewis

The negative principle that no law is free law, is not much known except among lawyers.

Abraham Lincoln

Oscar Wilde

Bertrand Russell

All sciences are now under the obligation to prepare the ground for the future task of the philosopher, which is to solve the problem of value, to determine the true hierarchy of values.

Friedrich Nietzsche
