The essence of morality is the subjugation of nature in obedience to social needs.

The ideas dictate everything, you have to be true to that or you're dead.

David Lynch

Call your opinions your creed, and you will change them every week. Make your creed simply and broadly out of the revelation of God, and you will keep it to the end.

Phillips Brooks

All faiths constitute a revelation of Truth, but all are imperfect and liable to error

Mahatma Gandhi

Faultily faultless, icily regular, splendidly null, dead perfection; no more.

Alfred Lord Tennyson

Error, indeed is never set forth in its naked deformity, lest, being thus exposed, it should at once be detected. But it is craftily decked out in an attractive dress, so as, by its outward form, to make it appear to the inexperienced more true than truth itself.

Irenaeus of Lyons

As he read, I feel in love the way you fall asleep: slow, and then all at once.

John Green

The job numbers are positive. We've had more jobs created now than were lost during the recession. We're seeing that the creation, we're seeing those numbers not only grow but shift toward the private sector and shift toward full-time employment and these are all signs that the recovery is taking some hold but we're not out of woods.

Stephen Harper

In one way, I suppose, I have been 'in denial' for some time, knowingly burning the candle at both ends and finding that it often gives a lovely light.

Christopher Hitchens

All you need for happiness is a good gun, a good horse, and a good wife.

Daniel Boone

A man of truth must also be a man of care.

Mahatma Gandhi

Barack Obama's life was so much simpler in 2009. Back then, he had refined the cold act of blaming others for the bad economy into an art form. Deficits? Blame Bush's tax cuts. Spending? Blame the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. No business investment? Blame Wall Street.

John Sununu

Dear God, Please send to me the spirit of Your peace. Then send, dear Lord, the spirit of peace from me to all the world. Amen.

Marianne Williamson
