It is better to live one day as a lion than 100 years as a sheep.

When I conform to truth, I do not conform to an abstract principle; I conform to the nature of God.

Kenneth L. Pike

Much of what we call evil is due entirely to the way men take the phenomenon. It can so often be converted into a bracing and tonic good by a simple change of the sufferer's inner attitude from one of fear to one of fight; its string can so often depart and turn into a relish when, after vainly seeking to shun it, we agree to face about and bear it...

William James

As we passed under the last bridge over the canal, just before reaching the Merrimack, the people coming out of church paused to look at us from above, and apparently, so strong is custom, indulged in some heathenish comparisons; but we were the truest observers of this sunny day

Henry David Thoreau

It's how you look at beauty. Is it only an outward appearance with hair and makeup and a hot body, or is it something deeper than that?

Hilary Swank

Here lies our Sovereign Lord, the King whose word no man relies on: He never said a foolish thing nor ever did a wise one.

Earl Rochester

Earnestness is enthusiasm tempered by reason.

Blaise Pascal

The only failure one should fear, is not hugging to the purpose they see as best.

George Eliot

If you don't have a teacher you can't have a disciple.

Dallas Willard

You convey too great a compliment when you say that I have earned the right to the presidential nomination. No man can establish such an obligation upon any part of the American people. My country owes me no debt. It gave me, as it gives every boy and girl, a chance. It gave me schooling, independence of action, opportunity for service and honor. In no other land could a boy from a country village, without inheritance or influential friends, look forward with unbounded hope. My whole life has taught me what America means. I am indebted to my country beyond any human power to repay.

Herbert Hoover

The thrill of coming home has never changed.

Guy Pearce

Home is anywhere that you know all your friends and all your enemies.

Orson Scott Card

Who would have thought around 1900 that in fifty years time we would know so much more and understand so much less.

Albert Einstein
