The failure of Christianity in the areas west from Sicily was even greater, and was increased by the spread of Arab outlooks and influence to that area, and especially to Spain.

In human life there is constant change of fortune; and it is unreasonable to expect an exemption from the common fate. Life itself decays, and all things are daily changing.

Plutarch

And under the existing circumstances, I understand there are situations where people indeed need care and need services, but I believe in America that the majority of those people are getting those services under situations and circumstances that are afforded to them by their health care providers and their state government.

Jan Brewer

The greatest fear that haunts this city is a suitcase bomb, nuclear or germ. Many people carry small gas masks. The masses here seem to be resigned to the inevitable, believing an attack of major proportions will happen.

David Wilkerson

Clarity of mind means clarity of passion, too this is why a great and clear mind loves ardently and sees distinctly what it loves.

Blaise Pascal

I'm still driving along on the pop freeway of life. Thinking even further into the future, I definitely want to make an acoustic record. I want to try lots of different things.

Katy Perry

Unpretending mediocrity is good, and genius is glorious; but a weak flavor of genius in an essentially common person is detestable. It spoils the grand neutrality of a commonplace character, as the rinsings of an unwashed wine-glass spoil a draught of fair water.

Oliver Wendell Holmes

There's method in his madness

William Shakespeare

People do not seem to realise that their opinion of the world is also a confession of their character.

Ralph Waldo Emerson

The man who does not work for the love of work but only for money is not likely to make money nor find much fun in life.

Charles M. Schwab

Beyond a doubt truth bears the same relation to falsehood as light to darkness.

Leonardo da Vinci

The principle that human nature, in its psychological aspects, is nothing more than a product of history and given social relations removes all barriers to coercion and manipulation by the powerful.

Noam Chomsky

Isaac Newton
