Better to understand a little than to misunderstand a lot.

Thought takes man out of servitude, into freedom.

Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

The number one mistake is giving pets table scraps. I made the mistake thinking I was showing my dog love by giving her food and treats. You see a tiny 4 oz. piece of cheese, but for a Boston Terrier like mine, that's like one and a half hamburgers. That's unhealthy.

Alison Sweeney

He knows the universe and does not know himself.

Jean de La Fontaine

For many members of Congress, the time for choosing is near - do what the party leadership demands, or do what the people have asked you to do. If my colleagues don't mind some advice from a newcomer, I'd suggest going with the will of the people.

Scott Brown

One change always leaves the way open for the establishment of others.

Niccolo Machiavelli

Orthodoxy is the diehard of the world of thought. It learns not, neither can it forget.

Aldous Huxley

Next to ingratitude the most painful thing to bear is gratitude.

Henry Ward Beecher

Sane people did what their neighbors did, so that if any lunatics were at large, one might know and avoid them.

George Eliot

Death is not natural for a state as it is for a human being, for whom death is not only necessary, but frequently even desirable.

Marcus Tullius Cicero

The child has talent, loves music, and needs help. I can't give her money, but I can teach her; so I do, and she is the most promising pupil I have. Help one another, is part of the religion of our sisterhood, Fan.

Louisa May Alcott

Man becomes man only by his intelligence, but he is man only by his heart.

Henri Frederic Amiel

Millions of dollars' worth of advertising shows such little respect for the reader's intelligence that it amounts almost to outright insult.

James Randolph Adams
