It's God's will for you to live in prosperity instead of poverty. It's God's will for you to pay your bills and not be in debt.

The web of our life is of a mingled yarn, good and ill together.

William Shakespeare

I tremble for my country when I reflect that God is just that his justice cannot sleep forever.

Thomas Jefferson

Human intelligence is a reflection of the intelligence that produces everything. In knowing, we are simply extending the intelligence that comes to and constitutes us. We mimic the mind of God, so to speak. Or better, we continue and extend it.

Huston Smith

In this possibly terminal phase of human existence, democracy and freedom are more than just ideals to be valued - they may be essential to survival.

Noam Chomsky

Too many activists have convinced themselves that they have a monopoly on truth. A little humility and a sense of history could move us all forward.

Jon Meacham

Humor can alter any situation and help us cope at the very instant we are laughing.

Allen Klein

I'm ready to move on to the next chapter of my life in which I will redouble my efforts to empower women in the workplace.

Gretchen Carlson

Urban conservationists may feel entitled to be unconcerned about food production because they are not farmers. But they can't be let off so easily, for they are all farming by proxy.

Wendell Berry

How marvelous it all is! Built not by saints and angels, but the work of men's hands; cemented with men's honest blood and with a world of tears, welded by the best brains of centuries past; not without the taint and reproach incidental to all human work, but constructed on the whole with pure and splendid purpose. Human, and yet not wholly human -- for the most heedless and the most cynical must see the finger of the Divine.

Lord Rosebery

I think because I became a mom later in life, everything in life means more.

Mariska Hargitay

If you think of what food is, it's the energy we use to do our daily work. I want people to know about the USDA. This is a very important department. It's not fully appreciated as such.

Tom Vilsack

How can I expect readers to know who I am if I do not tell them about my family, my friends, the relationships in my life? Who am I if not where I fit in the world, where I fit in the lives of the people dear to me?
