I always consider the settlement of America with reverence and wonder, as the opening of a grand scene and design in providence, for the illumination of the ignorant and the emancipation of the slavish part of mankind all over the earth.

We're failing our children with education, we're failing our environment.

Carol Moseley Braun

I tried to imagine him capital-S Somewhere as we prayed, but even then I could not quite convince myself that he and I would be together again. I already knew too many dead people. I knew that time would now pass for me differently then it would for him- that I, like everyone in that room, would go on accumulating loves and losses while he would not. And for me, that was the final and truly unbearable tragedy: Like all the innumerable dead, he'd once and for all been demoted from haunted to haunter.

John Green

My mother brought me magicians and witches, because I was very ugly, really revolting. So she thought somebody had put a spell on me - this is the truth - so she made me drink some horrible terrifying potions, for year.

Roberto Benigni

I'm a terrible salesman, he finally said. I always tell the truth about what I'm selling, and then nobody buys it.

Orson Scott Card

Where there is much to risk, there is much to consider.

Platen

What is comedy? Comedy is the art of making people laugh without making them puke.

Steve Martin

Dennis Muren

The Gift of Truth excels all other Gifts.

Gautama Buddha

Times change. The farmer's daughter now tells jokes about the traveling salesman.

Carey Williams

Christianity is more than history; it is also a system of truths. Every event which its history records, either is a truth, or suggests a truth, or expresses a truth which man needs to assent to or to put into practice.

Noah Porter

Every thought we think is creating our future.
