The future lies before you, like paths of pure white snow. Be careful how you tread it, for every step will show.

Poetry is more philosophical and of higher value than history.

Aristotle

What a country wants to make it richer is never consumption, but production. Where there is the latter, we may be sure that there is no want of the former. To produce, implies that the producer de_sires to consume; why else should he give himself useless labor? He may not wish to consume what he himself produces, but his motive for producing and selling is the desire to buy. Therefore, if the producers generally produce and sell more and more, they certainly also buy more and more.

John Stuart Mill, essay, The Con

Neither let us be slandered from our duty by false accusations against us, nor frightened from it by menaces of destruction to the Government nor of dungeons to ourselves. Let us have faith that right makes might, and in that faith, let us, to the end, dare to do our duty as we understand it.

Abraham Lincoln

Suddenly I've got an overwhelming desire to surround myself with the aura of classical and Romantic art.

Sylvester Stallone

George Bernard Shaw

If I could have married my wife and been a sports writer for the past 30 years, I wouldn't be sitting here - but I don't think I'd be sitting someplace where I was sorry to be sitting.

Richard Ford

We try to make choices and do things with our career that make a positive impact. We want to have long-lasting careers, but we don't want to have to give in to the industry. We want to stand for what's right, and you can do that and still be relevant and still matter.

Aja Graydon

But the relationship of morality and power is a very subtle one. Because ultimately power without morality is no longer power.

James Baldwin

My father was a farmer and my mother was a farmer, but, my childhood was very good. I am very grateful for my childhood, because it was full of gladness and good humanity.

Roberto Benigni

Hold fast to dreams For when dreams go Life is a barren field Frozen with snow.

Langston Hughes

But beauty, real beauty, ends where an intellectual expression begins. Intellect is in itself a mode of exaggeration, and destroys the harmony of any face.

Oscar Wilde

Failure is a steppingstone to poverty, Cosmic Ordering is an elevator to success.
