Attitude is more important than the past, than education, than money, than circumstances, than what people do or say. It is more important than appearance, giftedness, or skill.

Morality is the theory that every human act must be either right or wrong, and that 99% of them are wrong.

H. L. Mencken, A Mencken Chresto

I think if you exercise, your state of mind - my state of mind - is usually more at ease, ready for more mental challenges. Once I get the physical stuff out of the way it always seems like I have more calmness and better self-esteem.

Stone Gossard

Most of all, we should remember all of us are capable of individually helping advance the spirit of equality for all.

Mike Rogers

Master and Doctor are my titles; for ten years now, without repose, I held my erudite recitals and led my pupils by the nose.

Johann von Goethe

So keep fightin' for freedom and justice, beloveds, but don't you forget to have fun doin' it. Lord, let your laughter ring forth. Be outrageous, ridicule the fraidy-cats, rejoice in all the oddities that freedom can produce.

Molly Ivins

The virtue of justice consists in moderation, as regulated by wisdom.

Aristotle

There is one kind of robber whom the law does not strike at, and who steals what is most precious to men: time.

Napoleon Bonaparte

When the voice of your friend or the page of your book sinks into democratic equality with the pattern of the wallpaper, the feel of your clothes, your memory of last night, and the noises from the road, you are falling asleep. The highly selective consciousness enjoyed by fully alert men, with all its builded sentiments and consecrated ideals, has as much to be called real as the drowsy chaos, and more.

C.S. Lewis

Meaning and reality were not hidden somewhere behind things, they were in them, in all of them.

Hermann Hesse

The road to freedom lies not through mysteries or occult performances, but through the intelligent use of natural forces and laws.

Ernest Holmes

I have never forgotten my days as an Eagle Scout. I didn't know it at the time, but what really came out of my Scouting was learning how to lead and serve the community. It has come in handy in my career in government.

Lloyd Bentsen

Mathematicians are like Frenchmen: whatever you say to them they translate into their own language and forthwith it is something entirely different

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
