Beauty is unbearable, drives us to despair, offers us for a minute the glimpse of an eternity that we should like to stretch out over the whole of time.

Happy or unhappy, families are all mysterious. We have only to imagine how differently we would be described - and will be, after our deaths - by each of the family members who believe they know us.

Gloria Steinem

Put your nose into the Bible everyday. It is your spiritual food. And then share it. Make a vow not to be a lukewarm Christian.

Kirk Cameron

Over the next two years UNICEF will focus on improving access to and the quality of education to provide children who have dropped out of school or who work during school hours the opportunity to gain a formal education!

Roger Moore

Remember that credit is money.

Benjamin Franklin

Je tiefer sich das Leid in euer Sein eingräbt, desto mehr Freude könnt ihr fassen.

Kahlil Gibran

The clich? that women, more consistently than men, turn inward for sustenance seems to mean, in practice, that women have richly defined the ways in which imagination creates possibility; possibility that society denies.

Patricia Meyer Spacks

The cynic, a parasite of civilization, lives by denying it, for the very reason that he is convinced that it will not fail.

Jos

If you like small government you need to work hard at having a strong national defense that is not so militant. Personal liberty is the purpose of government, to protect liberty - not to run your personal life, not to run the economy, and not to pretend that we can tell the world how they ought to live.

Ron Paul

The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.

Thomas Jefferson

Loyalty to petrified opinions never yet broke a chain or freed a human soul in this world -- and never will.

Mark Twain

Henry David Thoreau

A hurtful act is the transference to others of the degradation which we bear in ourselves.

Simone Weil
