Fashion is all about happiness. It's fun. It's important. But it's not medicine.

Let us have compassion for those under chastisement. Alas, who are we ourselves? Who am I and who are you? Whence do we come and is it quite certain that we did nothing before we were born? This earth is not without some resemblance to a gaol. Who knows but that man is a victim of divine justice? Look closely at life. It is so constituted that one senses punishment everywhere.

Victor Hugo

My mother was the first woman in the county in Indiana where we were born, in Jay County, to have a college degree. She was educated as a pianist and she wanted to concertize, but when the war came she was married, had a family, so she started teaching.

Twyla Tharp

I do not know how to distinguish between our waking life and a dream. Are we not always living the life that we imagine we are?

Henry David Thoreau

Only the traveling is good which reveals to me the value of home and enables me to enjoy it better.

Henry David Thoreau

It's always ok to do the right thing. It's never ok to be a bully.

Magdalena VandenBerg

India saw from the beginning, and, even in her ages of reason and her age of increasing ignorance, she never lost hold of the insight, that life cannot be rightly seen in the sole light, cannot be perfectly lived in the sole power of its externalities.

Sri Aurobindo

Pressed into service means pressed out of shape.

Robert Frost

I have always said that a conference was held for one reason only, to give everybody a chance to get sore at everybody else. Sometimes it takes two or three conferences to scare up a war, but generally one will do it.

Will Rogers

A heresy can spring only from a system that is in full vigor.

Eric Hoffer

If the government becomes a law breaker, it breeds contempt for law; it invites every man to become a law unto himself; it invites anarchy. To declare that in the administration of the criminal law the end justifies the means 'to declare that the government may commit crimes in order to secure the conviction of a private criminal' would bring terrible retribution.From dissenting opinion in Olmstead vs. United States, in which the court upheld the use of wiretaps in a case involving an investigation of bootlegging. Brandeis strongly defended the individual right to privacy from government intrusion.

Louis D. Brandeis, 1928

In a balanced organization, working towards a common objective, there is success.

Arthur Helps

One approaches the journey's end. But the end is a goal, not a catastrophe.

George Sand
