Only God can look at somebody's heart.

To know is to control.

Scott Reed

In retrospect, the past seems not one existence with a continuous flow of years and events that follow each other in logical sequence, but a life periodically dividing into entirely separate compartments. Change of surroundings, interests, pursuits, has made it seem actually more like different incarnations.

Eleanor Robson Belmont, recalled

Human beings are made up of flesh and blood, and a miracle fiber called courage.

General George Patton

Clever men are good, but they are not the best.

Thomas Carlyle

Solitude has soft, silky hands, but with strong fingers it grasps the heart and makes it ache with sorrow.

Kahlil Gibran

We must seek the loving-kindness of God in all the breadth and open-air of common life.

George A. Smith

Without cunning, there is no innovation. Without ambition, there is no accomplishment.

J.K. Rowling

Concerns about the size and role of government are what seem to leave reformers stammering and speechless in town-hall meetings. The right wants to have a debate over fundamental principles elected Democrats seem incapable of giving it to them.

Thomas Frank

Identify the things and people that make you feel unhappy and eliminate them from your life. Nothing good can come from them.

Steve Maraboli

The new rage is to say that the government is the cause of all our problems, and if only we had no government, we'd have no problems. I can tell you, that contradicts evidence, history, and common sense.

William J. Clinton

Since Hiroshima and the Holocaust, science no longer holds its pristine place as the highest moral authority. Instead, that role is taken by human rights. It follows that any assault on Jewish life - on Jews or Judaism or the Jewish state - must be cast in the language of human rights.

Jonathan Sacks

Every cloud has its silver lining but it is sometimes a little difficult to get it to the mint.
