Better a living dog than a dead lion.

Man's sin is in his failure to live what he is. Being the master of the earth, man forgets that he is the servant of God.

Abraham Joshua Heschel

Those things that nature denied to human sight, she revealed to the eyes of the soul.

Ovid

The man described for us, whom we are invited to free, is already in himself the effect of a subjection much more profound than himself. A 'soul' inhabits him and brings him to existence, which is itself a factor in the mastery that power exercises over the body. The soul is the effect and instrument of a political anatomy; the soul is the prison of the body.

Michel Foucault, Discipline and

To those who don't want the truth about Kennedy's assassination to become known, the very repetition of a charge lends it a certain credibility, since people have a tendency to believe that where there's smoke, there's fire.

Jim Garrison

Let a human being throw the energies of his soul into the making of something, and the instinct of workmanship will take care of his honesty.

Walter Lippmann

Beware lest you lose the substance by grasping at the shadow.

Aesop

We are all hungry and thirsty for concrete images. Abstract art will have been good for one thing: to restore its exact virginity to figurative art.

Salvador Dali

History proves that dictatorships do not grow out of strong and successful governments, but out of weak and helpless ones. If by democratic methods people get a government strong enough to protect them from fear and starvation, their democracy succeeds; but if they do not, they grow impatient. Therefore, the only sure bulwark of continuing liberty is a government strong enough to protect the interests of the people, and a people strong enough and well enough informed to maintain its sovereign control over its government.

Franklin D. Roosevelt

He who is plenteously provided for from within, needs but little from without.

Johann von Goethe

It is important to appreciate beauty, even when it is evil.

N. K. Jemisin

Sure we're in limos. We're stars. How else is a star supposed to travel?

Deion Sanders

I have had a happy life and thank the Lord. Goodbye and may God bless all!
