During the first period of a man's life the greatest danger is not to take the risk. When once the risk has really been taken, then the greatest danger is to risk too much.

I don't think politics has anything to do with left, right, or center. It has to do with trying to do right by people.

Paul Wellstone

Marriage is the operation by which a woman's vanity and a man's egotism are extracted without an anaesthetic.

Helen Rowland

The true rule, in determining to embrace, or reject any thing, is not whether it have any evil in it; but whether it have more of evil, than of good. There are few things wholly evil, or wholly good. Almost every thing, especially of governmental policy, is an inseparable compound of the two; so that our best judgment of the preponderance between them is continually demanded.

Abraham Lincoln

God bless thee and put meekness in thy mind, love, charity, obedience, and true duty

William Shakespeare

Two souls with but a single thought, Two hearts that beat as one.

Fredrich Halm

Doing what's right isn't the problem. It is knowing what's right.

Lyndon B. Johnson

Love one another, but make not a bond of love: Let it rather be a moving sea between the shores of your souls

Kahlil Gibran

O, wind, if winter comes, can spring be far behind?

Percy Bysshe Shelley

A bad man is the sort who weeps every time he speaks of a good woman.

H. L. Mencken

The composition of this book has been for the author a long struggle of escape, and so must the reading of it be for most readers if the authors assault upon them is to be successful,a struggle of escape from habitual modes of thought and expression. The ideas which are here expressed so laboriously are extremely simple and should be obvious. The difficulty lies, not in the new ideas, but in escaping from the old ones, which ramify, for those brought up as most of us have been, into every corner of our minds.

John Maynard Keynes

It's great that New York has large spaces for art. But the enormous immaculate box has become a dated, even oppressive place. Many of these spaces were designed for sprawling installations, large paintings, and the Relational Aesthetics work of the past fifteen years.

Jerry Saltz

If life must not be taken too seriously, then so neither must death.

Samuel Butler
