Beware, so long as you live, of judging men by their outward appearance.

Truth makes many appeals, not the least of which is its power to shock.

Jules Renard

Some days we lose all at once and somedays we get all back at once. But either way,Accept it.

Diarian Hersi

To me - old age is always ten years older than I am.

John Burroughs

The best way to destroy the capitalist system is to debauch the currency.

Vladimir Lenin

Despots play their part in the works of thinkers. Fettered words are terrible words. The writer doubles and trebles the power of his writing when a ruler imposes silence on the people. Something emerges from that enforced silence, a mysterious fullness which filters through and becomes steely in the thought. Repression in history leads to conciseness in the historian, and the rocklike hardness of much celebrated prose is due to the tempering of the tyrant.

Victor Hugo

I want to sell to people my own age, because that's the way I write songs.

John Mellencamp

What do we call love, hate, charity, revenge, humanity, forgiveness? Different results of the master impulse, the necessity of securing one's self-approval.

Mark Twain

He who passively accepts evil is as much involved in it as he who helps to perpetrate it. He who accepts evil without protesting against it is really cooperating with it.

Martin Luther King Jr.

Brethren, I do not count myself to have apprehended, but one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind and reaching forward toward to those things which are ahead, I press toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus.

Bible

In truth she is not a hard lady naturally, and the time has been when the sight of the venerable figure suing to her with such strong earnestness would have moved her to great compassion. But so long accustomed to suppress emotion and keep down reality, so long schooled for her own purposes in that destructive school which shuts up the natural feelings of the heart like flies in amber and spreads one uniform and dreary gloss over the good and bad, the feeling and the unfeeling, the sensible and the senseless, she had subdued even her wonder until now.

Charles Dickens

The great art of governing consists in not letting men grow old in their jobs.

Napoleon

If you want a quality, act as if you already had it. Try the as if technique.

William James
