Beauty is an outward gift which is seldom despised, except by those to whom it has been refused.

Money has too big an influence on our politics in Washington and somehow we need to do something about that.

James Hansen

The more business one has, the more you are able to accomplish, for you learn to economize your time.

Sir Matthew Hale

Assim, para recapitular a nossa discussão do valor da filosofia: a filosofia é de estudar não por causa de quaisquer respostas definitivas ? s suas questões, dado que nenhumas respostas definitivas podem, em regra, ser conhecidas como verdadeiras, mas antes por causa das próprias questões; porque estas questões alargam a nossa concepção do que é possível, enriquecem a nossa imaginação intelectual e diminuem a confiança dogmática que fecham a mente contra a especulação; mas acima de tudo porque, através da grandeza do universo que a filosofia contempla, a mente também se torna grandiosa, e torna-se capaz dessa união com o universo que constitui o seu bem maior.

Bertrand Russell

Do not protect yourself by a fence, but rather by your friends.

Proverb

Every body continues in its state of rest, or of uniform motion in a right line, unless it is compelled to change that state by forces impressed upon it.

Sir Isaac Newton

To act with doubleness towards a man whose own conduct was double, was so near an approach to virtue that it deserved to be called by no meaner name than diplomacy.

George Eliot

Genius is talent set on fire by courage.

Henry Van Dyke

Urban America has been redlined. Government has not offered tax incentives for investment, as it has in a dozen foreign markets. Banks have redlined it. Industries have moved out, they've redlined it. Clearly, to break up the redlining process, there must be incentives to green-line with hedges against risk.

Jesse Jackson

Men say I am a saint losing himself in politics. The fact is that I am a politician trying my hardest to become a saint.

Mahatma Gandhi

Power is every stealing from the many to the few.

Wendell Phillips

He who asks of life nothing but the improvement of his own nature... is less liable than anyone else to miss and waste life.

Henri Frederic Amiel

The belief that recipients of government aid are better off the more we spend on them is remarkably persistent. No matter how many times this central tenet of liberalism gets debunked, like Brett Favre, it just keeps coming back.

Paul Ryan
