The direction in which education starts a man will determine his future in life

But struggling with these better feelings was pride,--the vice of the lowest and most debased creatures no less than of the high and self-assured. The miserable companion of thieves and ruffians, the fallen outcast of low haunts, the associate of the scourings of the jails and hulks, living within the shadow of the gallows itself,--even this degraded being felt too proud to betray a feeble gleam of the womanly feeling which she thought a weakness, but which alone conneced her with that humanity, of which her wasting life had obliterated so many, many traces when a very child.

Charles Dickens

It is man's social nature which distinguishes him from the brute creation. If it is his privilege to be independent, it is equally his duty to be inter-dependent. Only an arrogant man will claim to be independent of everybody else and be self-contained.

Mahatma Gandhi

The best part of making the movies... learning from the pros themselves.

Michelle Rodriguez

Perseverance gives power to weakness, and opens to poverty the world's wealth. It spreads fertility over the barren landscape, and buds the choicest flowers and fruits spring up and flourish in the desert abode of thorns and briars.

Samuel G. Goodrich

I feel fantastically excited that we have a leader who fought for the leadership without compromising his quite challenging view that the party has to change.

Francis Maude

Success covers a multitude of blunders

George Bernard Shaw

A good writer possesses not only his own spirit but also the spirit of his friends.

Friedrich Nietzsche

God is only a great imaginative experience.

David Herbert Lawrence

Beauty, then, is not mere decoration, but rather an essential element of the liturgical action, since it is an attribute of God himself and his revelation. These considerations should make us realize the care which is needed, if the liturgical action is to reflect its innate splendour.

Pope Benedict XVI

We tire of those pleasures we take, but never of those we give.

J. PetitSenn

No doubt the artist is the child of his time; but woe to him if he is also its disciple, or even its favorite.

Friedrich von Schiller

I find, by experience, that the mind and the body are more than married, for they are most intimately united; and when one suffers, the other sympathizes.

Lord Chesterfield
