You have not converted a man because you have silenced him.

When you know that you're capable of dealing with whatever comes, you have the only security the world has to offer.

Harry Browne

Youth holds no society with grief.

Euripides

All our experience with history should teach us, when we look back, how badly human wisdom is betrayed when it relies on itself

Martin Luther King Jr.

As yet, Bernard Shaw hasn't become prominent enough to have any enemies, but none of his friends like him.

Oscar Wilde

But while we all pray for peace, we do not always, as free citizens, support the policies that make for peace or reject those which do not. We want our own kind of peace, brought about in our own way.

Lester B. Pearson

I have had a very difficult time with stage fright it undermines your well-being and peace of mind, and it can also threaten your livelihood.

Renee Fleming

There is much pain that is quite noiseless; and vibrations that make human agonies are often a mere whisper in the roar of hurrying existence. There are glances of hatred that stab and raise no cry of murder; robberies that leave man or woman for ever beggared of peace and joy, yet kept secret by the sufferer --committed to no sound except that of low moans in the night, seen in no writing except that made on the face by the slow months of suppressed anguish and early morning tears. Many an inherited sorrow that has marred a life has been breathed into no human ear.

George Eliot

A civilized nation can have no enemies, and one cannot draw a line across a map, a line that doesn't even exist in nature and say that the ugly enemy lives on the one side, and good friends live on the other.

Thor Heyerdahl

Those people have seen something. What it is I do not know and I can not care to know. (on flying saucers)

Albert Einstein

As I get older I think, contrary to modern assumption but in line with the old Lerner and Lowe song, that it would actually benefit both them and society if - to quote Professor Higgins - a woman could be more like a man.

Julie Burchill

We may encounter many defeats but we must not be defeated.

Maya Angelou

I had seen people who had lost everything and everyone they loved to war, famine, and natural disasters.

Chelsea Clinton
