Every man dies. Not every man really lives.

Win, lose or draw, you're all my cousins and I love you.

Chill Wills

The voice of the intellect is a soft one, but it does not rest until it has gained a hearing.

Sigmund Freud

Physical misery is great everywhere out here Africa. Are we justified in shutting our eyes and ignoring it because our European newspapers tell us nothing about it? We civilised people have been spoilt. If any one of us is ill the doctor comes at once. Is an operation necessary, the door of some hospital or other opens to us immediately. But let every one reflect on the meaning of the fact that out here millions and millions live without help or hope of it. Every day thousands and thousands endure the most terrible sufferings, though medical science could avert them. Every day there prevails in many and many a far-off hut a despair which we could banish. Will each of my readers think what the last ten years of his family history would have been if they had been passed without medical or surgical help of any sort? It is time that we should wake from slumber and face our responsibilities!

Albert Schweitzer

Reading maketh a full man; conference a ready man; and writing an exact man.

Francis Bacon

What sunshine is to flowers, smiles are to humanity. These are but trifles, to be sure; but, scattered along life's pathway, the good they do is inconceivable.

Joseph Addison

How can a society that exists on instant mashed potatoes, packaged cake mixes, frozen dinners, and instant cameras teach patience to its young?

Paul Sweeney

There are no absolute rules of conduct, either in peace or war. Everything depends on circumstances.

Leon Trotsky

When one is frightened of the truth then it is never the whole truth that one has an inkling of.

Ludwig Wittgenstein

Men are convinced of your arguments, your sincerity, and the seriousness of your efforts only by your death.

Albert Camus

The world is full of fools and faint hearts; and yet everyone has courage enough to bear the misfortunes, and wisdom enough to manage the affairs of his neighbor.

Benjamin Franklin

In Australia, not reading poetry is the national pastime.

Phyllis McGinley

Of emotions, of love, of breakup, of love and hate and death and dying, mama, apple pie, and the whole thing. It covers a lot of territory, country music does.

Johnny Cash
