The average Ph.D. thesis is nothing, but the transference of bones from one graveyard to another.

Even voting for the right is doing nothing for it. It is only expressing to men feebly your desire that it should prevail. A wise man will not leave the right to the mercy of chance, nor wish it to prevail through the power of the majority. There is but little virtue in the action of masses of men.

Henry David Thoreau

All this is simply to say that all life is interrelated. We are caught in an inescapable network of mutuality; tied in a single garment of destiny. Whatever affects one directly, affects all indirectly. As long as there is poverty in this world, no man can be totally rich even if he has a billion dollars. As long as diseases are rampant and millions of people cannot expect to live more than twenty or thirty years, no man can be totally healthy, even if he just got a clean bill of health from the finest clinic in America. Strangely enough, I can never be what I ought to be until you are what you ought to be. You can never be what you ought to be until I am what I ought to be.

Martin Luther King Jr.

The most useful piece of learning for the uses of life is to unlearn what is untrue.

Antisthenes

The Psalmist believed in a personal God, and knew nothing of that modern pantheism which is nothing more than atheism wearing a fig leaf.

Charles H. Spurgeon

I worry that no matter how cynical you become, it's never enough to keep up.

Jane Wagner

Let's not overlook, though, what we do know about the campaign finance scandal, and the fact the Chinese were involved in our presidential campaign and our congressional campaigns.

Fred Thompson

If you change the way you look at things, the things you look at change.

Wayne Dyer

The Nordic countries are leading the way on women's equality, recognizing women as equal citizens rather than commodities for sale.

Johanna Siguroardottir

A nation devoid of art and artists cannot have a full existence.

Kemal Ataturk

Once you come up with a premise, you have to work out how it all happened. It's a bit like coming up with a spectacular roof design first. Before you can get it up there, you need to build a solid foundation and supporting structure.

Linwood Barclay

I believe when it comes to love, there's something intangible about who we are attracted to, and I don't think I have a pattern.

Taylor Swift
