Every man is a part of each and our senses are attached to both. So when a man speaks of himself as a man, he is in matter; but when he speaks a scientific truth, he is out of matter and so far equal to god. So man's investigations are but an imitation of wisdom's experiments for his own happiness. And man not wanting to be outdone by his father tries to imitate what he sees and hears; this makes man a kind of progressive being. Man invents language from the fact that he cannot be satisfied to let God or wisdom dictate his acts, so he invents language to explain his wisdom. It has been said that language was invented to deceive others. In some cases I have no doubt but the world thinks it does but wisdom gives it another direction; or language acts to undeceive and it often exposes our ignorance.

It's one of those secrets that's embarrassing to acknowledge, but we do love our students.

Joyce Carol Oates

All's well if all ends well.

William Shakespeare

There is no success without hardship.

Sophocles

With prophecies the commentator is often a more important man than the prophet.

G. C. (Georg Christoph) Lichtenb

We can do anything we want to do if we stick to it long enough.

Helen Keller

But I don't necessarily define my faith by going to church every Sunday.

Miley Cyrus

All of humanity's problems stem from man's inability to sit quietly in a room alone.

Blaise Pascal

Common-sense is part of the home-made ideology of those who have been deprived of fundamental learning, of those who have been kept ignorant. This ideology is compounded from different sources: items that have survived from religion, items of empirical knowledge, items of protective skepticism, items culled for comfort from the superficial learning that is supplied. But the point is that common-sense can never teach itself, can never advance beyond its own limits, for as soon as the lack of fundamental learning has been made good, all items become questionable and the whole function of common-sense is destroyed. Common-sense can only exist as a category insofar as it can be distinguished from the spirit of inquiry, from philosophy.

John Berger

The longer we live, and the more we think, the higher value we learn to put on the friendship and tenderness of parents and friends. Parents we can have but once; and he promises himself too much, who enters life with the expectation of finding many

Samuel Johnson

It's a sad moment, really, when parents first become a bit frightened of their children.

Ama Ata Aidoo

Somewhere along the line of development we discover what we really are, and then we make our real decision for which we are responsible. Make that decision primarily for yourself because you can never really live anyone else's life, not even your own child's.

Eleanor Roosevelt

A nation's culture resides in the hearts and in the soul of its people.

Mahatma Gandhi
