Fidelity to conscience is inconsistent with retiring modesty. If it be so, let the modesty succumb. It can be only a false modesty which can be thus endangered.

Human beings, for all their pretensions, have a remarkable propensity for lending themselves to classification somewhere within neatly labeled categories. Even the outrageous exceptions may be classified as outrageous exceptions!

W.J. Reichmann

My evening visitors, if they cannot see the clock should find the time in my face.

Ralph Waldo Emerson

There is no real teacher who in practice does not believe in the existence of the soul, or in a magic that acts on it through speech.

Allan Bloom

Franklin D. Roosevelt

The United States has far more to offer the world than our bombs and missiles and our military technology.

Cynthia McKinney

When a man touches a woman's body, he is not just touching her body. It goes MUCH DEEPER than that for a woman. He is touching parts of her soul-parts as diverse as how she feels about being a grandmother some day, to what is her favorite ice cream, to how much she loves her pet, and to her opinion of how the current President is governing. The man wants a sexual encounter and love is far from his mind; she desires permanence, commitment, safety, and security.

Jim Anderson

Alexis Carrel

Good counsel rejected returns to enrich the givers bosom.

Oliver Goldsmith

That's the great thing about a tractor. You can't really hear the phone ring.

Jeff Foxworthy

We never know how high we are till we are called to rise; and then, if we are true to plan, our stature's touch the skies.

Emily Dickinson

What you are doing rings so loudly in my ears that I can't hear what you're saying.
