I don't have a set of tenets, but I live an ethical life. I practice a humility that presupposes there's a power greater than myself. And I always believe, don't inflict harm where it's not necessary.

All authority belongs to the people

Thomas Jefferson

I have a sister, so I know-that relationship, it's all about fairness: you want your sibling to have exactly what you have-the same amount of toys, the same number of meatballs on your spaghetti, the same share of love. But being a mother is completely different. You want your child to have more than you ever did. You want to build a fire underneath her and watch her soar. It's bigger than words.

Jodi Picoult

I sometimes think that the price of liberty is not so much eternal vigilance as eternal dirt.

George Orwell

After the war, and until the day of his death, his position on almost every public question was either mischievous or ridiculous, and usually both.

Theodore Roosevelt

Most human beings have an absolute and infinite capacity for taking things for granted

Aldous Huxley

In America everything's about who's number one today.

Bruce Springsteen

To watch this crystal globe just sent from heaven to associate with me. While these clouds and this somber drizzling weather shut all in, we two draw nearer and know one another. The gathering in of the clouds with the last rush and dying breath of the wind, and then the regular dripping of twigs and leaves the country over, the impression of inward comfort and Sociableness, the drenched stubble and trees that drop beads on you as you pass, their dim outline seen through the rain on all sides drooping in sympathy with yourself. These are my undisputed territory. This is Nature's English comfort.

Henry David Thoreau

Stop relying only on technology.Technology can help the qualified, well-trained human being but cannot replace him.

Isaac Yeffet

Life itself is a quotation.

Jorge Luis Borges

The mediator of the inexpressible is the work of art.

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

If you can't fly then run, if you can't run then walk, if you can't walk then crawl, but whatever you do you have to keep moving forward.

Martin Luther King Jr.

I only wish that ordinary people had an unlimited capacity for doing harm; then they might have an unlimited power for doing good.

Socrates
