Every time we witness an injustice and do not act, we train our character to be passive in its presence and thereby eventually lose all ability to defend ourselves and those we love. In a modern economy it is impossible to seal oneself off from injustice.

A child's learning is a function more of the characteristics of his classmates than those of the teacher.

James S. Coleman

The Great Man's sincerity is of the kind he cannot speak of, is not conscious of: nay, I suppose, he is conscious rather of insincerity; for what man can walk accurately by the law of truth for one day? No, the Great Man does not boast himself sincere, far from that; perhaps does not ask himself if he is so: I would say rather, his sincerity does not depend on himself; he cannot help being sincere!

Thomas Carlyle

I get such lovely gifts from fans... amazing pictures, handmade jewellery. I'm very lucky!

Leona Lewis

You can't stay the same. If you're a musician and a singer, you have to change, that's the way it works.

Van Morrison

An Idea is nothing but Information, It won't do us any harm until we accept it as perception of truth in our mind, which in time will potentially evolve and construct major events in history.

Obama often criticizes policies that place the interests of the powerful ahead of the powerless. But through his administration's support of abortion rights, Obama shows his lack of empathy for society's most powerless.

Gary Bauer

Of all peoples the Greeks have dreamt the dream of life best.

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

What is without periods of rest will not endure.

Ovid

The Bible's blind. The Torah's deaf. The Qu'ran is mute. If you burned them all together you'd get close to the truth

Conor Oberst

Few friendships would survive if each one knew what his friend says of him behind his back.

Blaise Pascal

I know that most men, including those at ease with problems of the greatest complexity, can seldom accept even the simplest and most obvious truth if it be such as would oblige them to admit the falsity conclusions which they have delighted in explaining to colleagues, which they have proudly taught to others, and which they have woven, thread by thread, into the fabric of their lives.

Leo Tolstoy

Success is simple. Do what's right, the right way, at the right time.
