A Christian is a man who feels repentance on Sunday for what he did on Saturday and is going to do on Monday.

Once you begin to acknowledge random acts of kindness - both the ones you have received and the ones you have given - you can no longer believe that what you do does not matter.

Dawna Markova

This is the reason why mothers are more devoted to their children than fathers: it is that they suffer more in giving them birth and are more certain that they are their own.

Aristotle, (attributed)

Cynicism is the humor of hatred.

Sir Herbert Beerbohm Tree

Self-respect is nothing to hide behind. When you need it most it isn't there.

May Sarton

Restore human legs as a means of travel. Pedestrians rely on food for fuel and need no special parking facilities.

Lewis Mumford

It is only by expressing all that is inside that purer and purer streams come.

Brenda Ueland

Nullification means insurrection and war and the other states have a right to put it down.

Andrew Jackson

A saint addicted to excessive self-abnegation is a dangerous associate; he may infect you with poverty, and a stiffening of those joints which are needed for advancement -- in a word, with more renunciation than you care for -- and so you flee the contagion.

Victor Hugo

I don't dwell on success. Maybe that's one reason I'm successful.

Calvin Klein

One writes of scars healed, a loose parallel to the pathology of the skin, but there is no such thing in the life of an individual. There are open wounds, shrunk sometimes to the size of a pin-prick but wounds still. The marks of suffering are more comparable to the loss of a finger, or the sight of an eye. We may not miss them, either, for one minute in a year, but if we should there is nothing to be done about it.

F. Scott Fitzgerald

It is not short of amazing, the power of a great idea to weld men together. There was in it a peculiar, intense, vital spirit if you will, that I have never felt before in any strike.

Ray Stannard Baker

For if you love those who love you, what reward have you? Do not even the tax collectors do the same?

Jesus Christ
