For any culture which is primarily concerned with meaning, the study of death - the only certainty that life holds for us - must be central, for an understanding of death is the key to liberation in life.

Change, like sunshine, can be a friend or a foe, a blessing or a curse, a dawn or a dusk.

William Arthur Ward

You can't cross the sea merely by standing and staring at the water. Don't let yourself indulge in vain wishes.

Rabindranath Tagore

The strong man is strongest when alone.

Friedrich von Schiller

Now I know that Wal-Mart's policies do not reflect the best way of doing business and the values that I think are important in America.

Discord is the great ill of mankind; and tolerance is the only remedy for it.

Voltaire

The common argument that crime is caused by poverty is a kind of slander on the poor.

H. L. Mencken

Hope is the greatest thing for moms of autism. Hope is what gets us out of bed in the morning. I'm on a mission to tell parents that there is a way.

Jenny McCarthy

A newspaper is a circulating library with high blood pressure.

Arthur Baer

I just completed The Tenth Circle. It is an excellent mystery story surrounding a family with modern day issues.

Deepak Chopra

The whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, all of them imaginary.

H. L. Mencken

Those whose acquaintance with scientific research is derived chiefly from its practical results easily develop a completely false notion of the mentality of the men who, surrounded by a skeptical world, have shown the way to kindred spirits scattered wide through the world and through the centuries. Only one who has devoted his life to similar ends can have a vivid realization of what has inspired these men and given them the strength to remain true to their purpose in spite of countless failures. It is cosmic religious feeling that gives a man such strength. A contemporary has said, not unjustly, that in this materialistic age of ours the serious scientific workers are the only profoundly religious people.
