Freedom is contagious. That's why despots fear it so much.

The real news is bad news.

Marshall McLuhan

People feel politics isn't about their lives.

David Miliband

The noble simplicity in the works of nature only too often originates in the noble shortsightedness of him who observes it.

G. C. (Georg Christoph) Lichtenb

Christianity is the story of how the rightful King has landed, you might say in disguise, and is calling us all to take part in His great campaign of sabotage

C.S. Lewis

Put all your eggs in one basket and then watch that basket.

Mark Twain

There exists, between people in love, a kind of capital held by each. This is not just a stock of affects or pleasure, but also the possibility of playing double or quits with the share you hold in the other's heart.

Jean Baudrillard

If you want to gather honey, don't kick over the beehive.

Dale Carnegie

Weave in faith and God will find the thread.

Proverb

It has become extremely questionable whether, in the flux of life, it is a genuinely worthwhile intellectual problem to seek to discover fixed and immutable ideas or absolutes. It is a more worthy intellectual task perhaps to learn to think dynamically and relationally rather than statically.

Karl Mannheim

I worry that no matter how cynical you become, it's never enough to keep up.

Jane Wagner

Roman civilization had achieved, within the bounds of its technology, relatively as great a mastery of time and space as we have achieved today.

Arthur Erickson

In my considered opinion, salary is payment for goods delivered and it must conform to the law of supply and demand. If, therefore, the fixed salary is a violation of this law - as, for instance, when I see two engineers leaving college together and both equally well trained and efficient, and one getting forty thousand while the other only earns two thousand , or when lawyers and hussars, possessing no special qualifications, are appointed directors of banks with huge salaries - I can only conclude that their salaries are not fixed according to the law of supply and demand but simply by personal influence. And this is an abuse important in itself and having a deleterious effect on government service.

Leo Tolstoy
