If you think you're free, there's no escape possible.

Ram Dass

G. K. Chesterton

Consciously or unconsciously, everyone of us does render some service or another. If we cultivate the habit of doing this service deliberately, our desire for service will steadily grow stronger, and it will make not only for our own happiness, but that of the world at large.

Mahatma Gandhi

I am proud of the fact that I never invented weapons to kill.

Thomas Alva Edison

But though I have no personal experience of the things they call love, I have what is better -- the experience of Sappho, of Euripides, of Catallus, of Shakespeare, of Spenser, of Austen, of Bronte, of anyone else I have read.

C.S. Lewis

If God had wanted man to play soccer, he wouldn't have given us arms.

Mike Ditka

Benjamin Franklin

I must tell you what you will not ask, though I may wish it unsaid the next moment

Oscar Wilde

The last book I read was the book I've been rereading most of my life, The Fountainhead.
