We should be careful to get out of an experience only the wisdom that is in it -- and stop there; lest we be like the cat that sits down on a hot stove-lid. She will never sit down on a hot stove-lid again -- and that is well; but also she will never sit down on a cold one anymore.

But what then is capital punishment but the most premeditated of murders, to which no criminal's deed, however calculated it may be, can be compared? For there to be equivalence, the death penalty would have to punish a criminal who had warned his victim of the date at which he would inflict a horrible death on him and who, from that moment onward, had confined him at his mercy for months. Such a monster is not encountered in private life.

Albert Camus

A place for everything, and everything in its place.

Isabella Mary Beeton

The plea of good intentions is not one that can be allowed to have much weight in passing historical judgment upon a man whose wrong-headedness and distorted way of looking at things produced, or helped to produce, such incalculable evil; there is a wide political applicability in the remark attributed to a famous Texan, to the effect that he might, in the end, pardon a man who shot him on purpose, but that he would surely never forgive one who did so accidentally.

Theodore Roosevelt

There was always a love-hate relationship with New York in the rest of the country, but I made them feel more love than hate.

Ed Koch

A family can develop only with a loving woman as its center.

Karl Wilhelm Friedrich Schlegel

If that's art, I'm a Hottentot!

Harry S Truman

The seeker after truth should be humbler than the dust. The world crushes the dust under its feet, but the seeker after truth should so humble himself that even the dust could crush him. Only then, and not till then, will he have a glimpse of truth.

Mahatma Gandhi

I have no doubt that given a real choice, the vast majority of Muslims and Arabs, like everyone else will choose a free society over a fear society.

Natan Sharansky

Tell me who admires and loves you, and I will tell you who you are.

Antoine de Saint-Exupery

Words and pictures can work together to communicate more powerfully than either alone.

William Albert Allard

If you're not using your smile, you're like a man with a million dollars in the bank and no checkbook.

Les Giblin

Let people have an education and you can't stop them.

La Monte Young
