We cannot become what we need to be, remaining what we are.

A whole lot of us believers, of all different religions, are ready to turn back the tide of madness by walking together, in both the dark and the light - in other words, through life - registering voters as we go, and keeping the faith.

Anne Lamott

We are trying to construct a more inclusive society. We are going to make a country in which no one is left out.

Franklin D. Roosevelt

God reigns when we take a liberal view, when a liberal view is presented to us.

Henry David Thoreau

Maxwell Maltz

I believe in equality for everyone, except reporters and photographers.

Mahatma Gandhi

For me, winning isn't something that happens suddenly on the field when the whistle blows and the crowds roar. Winning is something that builds physically and mentally every day that you train and every night that you dream.

Emmitt Smith

Prayer is mans greatest power!

W. Clement Stone

American freedom consists largely in talking nonsense.

Edward W. Howe

I can't understand people calling themselves religious and being hateful. If a preacher is preaching hate, to fear God that's not religion, that's not helping humanity, that's organizing an army to defeat somebody.

Mojo Nixon

You may tell a man thou art a fiend, but not your nose wants blowing; to him alone who can bear a thing of that kind, you may tell all.

Johann Kaspar Lavater

A life is not sufficiently elevated for poetry, unless, of course, the life has been made into an art.

Mark Strand

Sleeping in a bed -- it is, apparently, of immense importance. Against those who sleep, from choice or necessity, elsewhere society feels righteously hostile. It is not done. It is disorderly, anarchical.
