The fact is, with every friendship you make, and every bond of trust you establish, you are shaping the image of America projected to the rest of the world. That is so important. So when you study abroad, you're actually helping to make America stronger.

As a brave man goes into fire or flood or pestilence to save a human life, so a generous mind follows after truth and love, and is not frightened from the pursuit by danger or toil or obloquy.

John Lancaster Spalding

As I became very defined in my personal politics, I turned down some films that I slightly regret now I'm not going to say what they were.

Julie Christie

Force always attracts men of low morality, and I believe it to be an invariable rule that tyrants of genius are succeeded by scoundrels.

Albert Einstein

He hadn't a single redeeming vice.

Oscar Wilde

It is love, not reason, that is stronger than death.

Thomas Mann

There's none so blind as they that won't see.

Jonathan Swift

If you can learn from hard knocks, you can also learn from soft touches.

Carolyn Kenmore, Mannequin: My L

Truth is one forever absolute, but opinion is truth filtered through the moods, the blood, the disposition of the spectator.

Wendell Phillips

In the fields and woods more than anything else all things come to those who wait, because all things are on the move, and are sure sooner or later to come your way. To absorb a thing is better than to learn it, and we absorb what we enjoy. We learn things at school; we absorb them in the fields and woods. When we look upon Nature with fondness and appreciation, she meets us halfway and takes a deeper hold on us than when studiously conned. Hence I say the way of knowledge of Nature is the way of love and enjoyment, and is more surely found in the open air than in the school room or the laboratory.

John Burroughs, Time and Change

Joy is to fun what the deep sea is to a puddle. It's a feeling inside that can hardly be contained.

Terry Pratchett

The heart has reasons that reason cannot know.

Blaise Pascal

The opportunity is often lost by deliberating.

Publilius Syrus
