Everything can change, but not the language that we carry inside us, like a world more exclusive and final than one's mother's womb.

In Iraq we must succeed. Failure is not an option.

Zbigniew Brzezinski

Unwilling service earns no thanks.

Danish proverb

The thing I loved the most - and still love the most about teaching - is that you can connect with an individual or a group, and see that individual or group exceed their limits.

Mike Krzyzewski

So that is marriage, Lily thought, a man and a woman looking at a girl throwing a ball

Virginia Woolf

Ambidextrous, adj.: Able to pick with equal skill a right-hand pocket or a left.

Ambrose Bierce

The great unity which true science seeks is found only by beginning with our knowledge of God, and coming down from Him along the stream of causation to every fact and event that affects us.

Howard Crosby

She has built her whole life on the foundation of beauty: each chiseled plane, each sloping dimple, each soft curve as crucial as keystones in the cathedral of her body.

Nenia Campbell

It is noble to teach oneself, but still nobler to teach othersand less trouble. - speech, 1906

Mark Twain

War talk by men who have been in a war is always interesting; whereas moon talk by a poet who has not been in the moon is likely to be dull.

Mark Twain

We know too much and feel too little. At least, we feel too little of those creative emotions from which a good life springs.

Bertrand Russell

There are moments when a man's imagination, so easily subdued to what it lives in, suddenly rises above its daily level and surveys the long windings of destiny.

Edith Wharton

Married women are far more depressed than married men -- in unhappy marriages, three times more; and -- interestingly -- in happy marriages, five times more. In truth, it is men who are thriving in marriage, now as always, and who show symptoms of psychological and physical distress outside it. Not only their emotional well-being but their very lives, some studies say, depend on being married!
