Had there been no difficulties and no thorns in the way, then man would have been in his primitive state and no progress made in civilization and mental culture.

The exhibitionist loves to flirt with shame

Mason Cooley

A cosmic philosophy is not constructed to fit a man; a cosmic philosophy is constructed to fit a cosmos. A man can no more possess a private religion than he can possess a private sun and moon.

G. K. Chesterton

Every murderer is probably somebody's old friend.

Agatha Christie

Anybody can make history; only a great man can write it.

Oscar Wilde

You get somebody to crack a smile, that's a beautiful thing.

Tracy Morgan

Nature knows no indecencies; man invents them.

Mark Twain

More and more people care about religious tolerance as fewer and fewer care about religion.

Alexander Chase

The cruelest lies are often told in silence. A man may have sat in a room for hours and not opened his mouth, and yet come out of that room a disloyal friend or a vile calumniator.

Robert Louis Stevenson

The first thing to do in life is to do with purpose what one purposes to do.

Pau (Pablo) Casals

A child miseducated is a child lost.

John Fitzgerald Kennedy

Let us pardon him his hope of a vain apocalypse, and of a second coming in great triumph upon the clouds of heaven. Perhaps these were the errors of others rather than his own; and if it be true that he himself shared the general illusion, what matters it, since his dream rendered him strong against death, and sustained him in a struggle to which he might otherwise have been unequal?

Ernest Renan

Labor is the instituted means for the methodical development of all our powers under the direction and control of the will.
