We do not believe any group of men adequate enough or wise enough to operate without scrutiny or without criticism.

Work like hell! I had 122 rejection slips before I sold a story.

F. Scott Fitzgerald

Have patience. All things are difficult before they become easy.

Sa'di

He who leads Must then be strong and hopeful as the dawnThat rises unafraid and full of joyAbove the blackness of the darkest night.He must be kind to every living thing;Kind as the Krishna, Buddha and the Christ,And full of love for all created life.Oh, not in war shall his great prowess lie,Nor shall he find his pleasure in the chase.Too great for slaughter, friend of man and beast,Touching the borders of the Unseen RealmsAnd bringing down to earth their mystic firesTo light our troubled pathways, wise and kindAnd human to the core, so shall he be,The coming leader of the coming time.

Ella Wheeler Wilcox, from The Le

The generations of men run on in the tide of time, but leave their destined lineaments permanent for ever and ever.

William Blake

We all have enough strength to endure the misfortunes of others.

Francois de La Rochefoucauld

Coitus can scarcely be said to take place in a vacuum; although of itself it appears a biological and physical activity, it is set so deeply within the larger context of human affairs that it serves as a charged microcosm of the variety of attitudes and values to which culture subscribes. Among other things, it may serve as a model of sexual politics on an individual or personal plane.

Kate Millet

No other thing or no other person is going to make me happy in life, I just have to do that myself.

Greg Page

The day is not far distant when the man who dies leaving behind him millions of available wealth, which was free for him to administer during life, will pass away unwept, unhonored, and unsung, no matter to what uses he leave the dross which he cannot take with him. Of such as these the public verdict will then be: The man who dies thus rich dies disgraced. Such, in my opinion, is the true gospel concerning wealth, obedience to which is destined some day to solve the problem of the rich and the poor.

Andrew Carnegie

An art which isn't based on feeling isn't an art at all.

Paul Cezanne

Communism is inequality, but not as property is. Property is exploitation of the weak by the strong. Communism is exploitation of the strong by the weak.

Pierre Joseph Proudhon

Let us not seek to bring religion to others, but let us endeavor to live it ourselves.

Paul Tournier

I lost twins at 14 weeks, and I had to have an D and C on my birthday.
