Consider Social Security. The young have always contributed to the support of the old. Earlier, the young helped their own parents out of a sense of love and duty. They now contribute to the support of someone else's parents out of compulsion and fear. The voluntary transfers strengthened the bonds of the family; the compulsory transfers weaken those bonds.

Have a little faith. Don't give up.

Fantasia Barrino

Only the brave know how to forgive... a coward never forgave it is not in his nature.

Laurence Sterne

Truth is a good dog but always beware of barking too close to the heels of an error, lest you get your brains kicked out.

Francis Bacon

Art in the classroom not only spurs creativity, it also inspires learning.

Mickey Hart

You can fool some of the people all of the time and all of the people some of the time - but most of the time they will make fools of themselves.

Voltaire

The physical sciences, good and innocent in themselves, had already... begun to be warped, had been subtly manoeuvred in a certain direction. Despair of objective truth had been increasingly insinuated into the scientists; indifference to it, and a concentration upon mere power, had been the result The very experiences of the dissecting room and the pathological laboratory were breeding a conviction that the stifling of all deep-set repugnances was the first essential for progress.

C.S. Lewis

There is a circularity here I do not doubt. I am defending the Bible by the Bible. Circularity of a kind is unavoidable when one seeks to defend an ultimate standard of truth, for one's defense must itself be accountable to that standard.

John M. Frame

Music has completely taken over every aspect of my life and ruined everything.

Wes Borland

Truth, like the burgeoning of a bulb under the soil, however deeply sown, will make its way to the light.

Ellis Peters

I can see that the sadness has returned. And it's not a beautiful sadness- beautiful sadness is a myth. Sadness turns our features to clay, not porcelain.

David Levithan

I tell you there isn't a thing under the sun that needs to be done at all, but what a man can do better than a woman, unless it's bearing children, and they do that in a poor make-shift way; it had better ha been left to the men.

George Eliot

When I say we've had an ideal marriage, I'm not just talking about physical attraction, which I can imagine can wear pretty thin if it's all a couple has built on. We've had that and a whole lot more.

Betty Ford
