We have no commission from God to police the world.

There is a weird power in a spoken word. . . . And a word carries far--very far--deals destruction through time as the bullets go flying through space.

Joseph Conrad, Lord Jim 1900, Ch

When I was born . . . the doctor came out to the waiting room and said to my father, I'm very sorry. We did everything we could . . . he still pulled through.

Rodney Dangerfield

Your self-confidence is simply the part of your brain that tells you whether or not you should try something different or new or believe in yourself, and just as a Jedi truly believes that it is within their power to control their thoughts and stay in the Light, so can you.

Stephen Richards

Love is a portion of the soul itself, and it is of the same nature as the celestial breathing of the atmosphere of paradise.

Victor Hugo

It just was a gradual development over the years. I mean last year was 'all you need is Love.' This year, it's 'all you need is Love and peace, baby.' Give peace a chance, and remember Love. The only hope for us is peace. Violence begets violence. You can have peace as soon as you like if we all pull together. You're all geniuses, and you're all beautiful. You don't need anyone to tell you who you are. You are what you are. Get out there and get peace, think peace, and live peace and breathe peace, and you'll get it as soon as you like.

John Lennon

Make a Goal Box, a chart of positive daily contact with a family when you are working with them.

Richard G. Scott

I think all Americans believe in human rights. And health is an often overlooked aspect of basic human rights. And it's one that's easily corrected. The reason I say that is that many of the diseases that we treat around the world, I knew when I was a child. My mother was a registered nurse. And they no longer exist in our country.

Jimmy Carter

It is long and hard and painful to create life: it is short and easy to steal the life others have made

George Bernard Shaw

Good men have the fewest fears. He has but one great fear who fears to do wrong he has a thousand who has overcome it.

Christian Nestell Bovee

I had the privilege of practicing medicine in the early '60s, before we had any government. It worked rather well, and there was nobody on the street suffering with no medical care.

Ron Paul

I finished my first book seventy-six years ago. I offered it to every publisher on the English-speaking earth I had ever heard of. Their refusals were unanimous: and it did not get into print until, fifty years later; publishers would publish anything that had my name on it.

George Bernard Shaw

A man loves the meat in his youth that he cannot endure in his age.

William Shakespeare
