Genius, when young, is divine.

Evolution is the law of policies: Darwin said it, Socrates endorsed it, Cuvier proved it and established it for all time in his paper on The Survival of the Fittest.

Mark Twain

I would uphold the law if for no other reason but to protect myself.

Thomas Moore

The trees and shrubs rear white arms to the sky on every side; and where were walls and fences, we see forms stretching in frolic gambols across the dusky landscape, as if Nature had strewn her fresh designs over the fields by night as models for man's art.

Henry David Thoreau

To make no mistakes is not in the power of man; but from their errors and mistakes the wise and good learn wisdom for the future.

Plutarch

Man is a gregarious animal and much more so in his mind than in his body. A golden rule; judge men not by their opinions but by what their opinions have made of them.

G. C. (Georg Christoph) Lichtenb

Criticism should not be querulous and wasting, all knife and root-puller, but guiding, instructive, inspiring.

Ralph Waldo Emerson

Love changes things; hope allows us to endure until the change arrives.

Iimani David

Solitary trees, if they grow at all, grow strong.

Winston Churchill

You take somebody that cries their goddam eyes out over phoney stuff in the movies, and nine times out of ten they're mean bastards at heart.

J. D. Salinger

People say the truth hurts. Hell no, it hurts even more if you do a whole bunch of foolishness to try and avoid it.

Tyler Perry

Poetry involves the mysteries of the irrational perceived through rational words.

Vladimir Nabokov

The harder you push, the more you are pulled.
