No foreigner has a place asking another people, another country, to change their constitution.

Hero-worship is strongest where there is least regard for human freedom.

Herbert Spencer

There is something about the literary life that repels me, all this desperate building of castles on cobwebs, the long-drawn acrimonious struggle to make something important which we all know will be gone forever in a few years, the miasma of failure which is to me almost as offensive as the cheap gaudiness of popular success.

Raymond Chandler

Hope, like faith, is nothing if it is not courageous it is nothing if it is not ridiculous.

Thornton Wilder

Human rights are not only violated by terrorism, repression or assassination, but also by unfair economic structures that creates huge inequalities.

Pope Francis

Politics is a people business. I like people.

Laura Bush

IQ is a commodity, data is a commodity. I'm far more interested in watching people interact at a restaurant with their smartphone. We can all read 'Tech Crunch,' 'Ad Age.' I would rather be living in the trenches. I would rather be going to Whole Foods in Columbus Circle to watch people shop with their smartphones.

Gary Vaynerchuk

As long as you know what it is you desire, then by simply affirming that it is yours -- firmly and positively, with no ifs, buts, or maybes -- over and over again, from the minute you arise in the morning until the time you go to sleep at night, and as many times during the day as your work or activities permit, you will be drawn to those people, places, and events that will bring your desires to you.

Scott Reed

A taste for simplicity cannot endure for long.

Eugene Delacroix

Rather suffer than die is man's motto.

Jean de La Fontaine

The hero was distinguished by his achievement; the celebrity by his image or trademark. The hero created himself; the celebrity is created by the media. The hero was a big man; the celebrity is a big name.

Daniel J. Boorstin

No one can sincerely try to help another without helping himself.

Charles Dudley Warner

Take time to deliberate, but when the time for action has arrived, stop thinking and go in.

Napoleon Bonaparte
