Faith is deliberate confidence in the character of God whose ways you may not understand at the time.

From your confessor, lawyer and physician, hide not your case on no condition.

John Harington

I'm a lover of my own liberty, and so I would do nothing to restrict yours. I simply want to please my own conscience, which is God.

Mahatma Gandhi

But it is impossible to replace a person one has loved with distractions.

Roald Dahl

I worry about my child and the Internet all the time, even though she's too young to have logged on yet. Here's what I worry about. I worry that 10 or 15 years from now, she will come to me and say 'Daddy, where were you when they took freedom of the press away from the Internet?'

Mike Godwin

Poetry and art and knowledge are sacred and pure.

George Eliot

I grew up in this town, my poetry was born between the hill and the river, it took its voice from the rain, and like the timber, it steeped itself in the forests.

Pablo Neruda

Giving someone a one-time stimulus check, or a one-time tax cut that expires doesn't allow the predictability that business needs.

Rand Paul

Sean Connery

Time, whose tooth gnaws away at everything else, is powerless against truth.

Thomas Henry Huxley

My heart burnt within me with indignation and grief; we could think of nothing else. All night long we had only snatches of sleep, waking up perpetually to the sense of a great shock and grief. Every one is feeling the same. I never knew so universal a feeling.

Elizabeth Gaskell

The emotional, sexual, and psychological stereotyping of females begins when the doctor says: 'It's a girl.'

Shirley Chisholm

I have been thinking that I would make a proposition to my Republican friends... that if they will stop telling lies about the Democrats, we will stop telling the truth about them.

Adlai E. Stevenson
