Fortune is like glass--the brighter the glitter, the more easily broken.

That we may live to see England once more possess a free Monarchy and a privileged and prosperous People, is my Prayer; that these great consequences can only be brought about by the energy and devotion of our Youth is my persuasion.

The claims of the Future are represented by suffering millions; and the Youth of a Nation are the trustees of Posterity.

Jean de la Bruyere

Children's talent to endure stems from their ignorance of alternatives.

Maya Angelou

People do not know what the Name of God can do. Those who repeat it constantly alone know its power. It can purify our mind completely... The Name can take us to the summit of spiritual experience.

Swami Ramdas

All men are equal before fish.

Herbert Hoover

Those who profess to favor freedom, and yet depreciate agitation, are men who want crops without plowing up the ground.
