Everywhere in life, the true question is not what we gain, but what we do.

We must develop and maintain the capacity to forgive. He who is devoid of the power to forgive is devoid of the power to love. There is some good in the worst of us and some evil in the best of us. When we discover this, we are less prone to hate our enemies.

Martin Luther King, Jr.

Education can no longer be the sole property of the state.

Peter Drucker

Nothing is so galling to a people not broken in from the birth as a paternal, or in other words a meddling government, a government which tells them what to read and say and eat and drink and wear.

Thomas W. Higginson

What we want is to see the child in pursuit of knowledge, and not knowledge in pursuit of the child.

George Bernard Shaw

If you ask a member of this generation two simple questions: How do you want the world to be in fifty years? and What do you want your life to be like five years from now? the answers are quite often preceded by Provided there is still a world and Provided I am still alive. To the often-heard question, Who are they, this new generation? one is tempted to answer, Those who hear the ticking. And to the other question, Who are they who utterly deny them? the answer may well be, Those who do not know, or refuse to face, things as they really are.

Hannah Arendt

Laws are like sausages, it is better not to see them being made.

Otto von Bismarck

Thankfully, I have my mom and a small group of close friends who are there for me 24/7 and whom I can trust and depend on.

Christina Aguilera

Make food a very incidental part of your life by filling your life so full of meaningful things that you'll hardly have time to think about food.

Peace Pilgrim

Every single being, even those who are hostile to us, is just as afraid of suffering as we are, and seeks happiness in the same way we do. Every person has the same right as we do to be happy and not to suffer. So let's take care of others wholeheartedly, of both our friends and our enemies. This is the basis for true compassion.

Dalai Lama XIV

Obstacles are those frightening things you see when you take you eyes off your goal.

Henry James

The one thing that kept our family together was the music. The only thing that our family would share emotionally was to have our dad cry over something the kids did with music.

Dennis Wilson

I was 16 years old, driving to LA, and sleeping in my car, just trying to make it happen.
