That is a good book which is opened with expectation, and closed with delight and profit.

There is a law that man should love his neighbor as himself. In a few hundred years it should be as natural to mankind as breathing or the upright gait; but if he does not learn it he must perish.

Alfred Adler

In a drama of the highest order there is little food for censure or hatred it teaches rather self-knowledge and self-respect.

Percy Bysshe Shelley

Failure is instructive. The person who really thinks learns quite as much from his failures as from his successes. Genuine ignorance is profitable because it is likely to be accompanied by humility, curiosity, and open-mindedness; whereas ability to repeat catch-phrases, cant terms, familiar propositions, gives the conceit of learning and coats the mind with varnish waterproof to new ideas.

John Dewey

Behind it all is surely an idea so simple, so beautiful so compelling that when-in a decade, a century, a millennium-- we grasp it, we will say to each other, how could it have been otherwise? How can we have been so blind for so long?

John Wheeler

I didn't appreciate the young woman that I was, or my young beauty, because I was so obsessed with the fact that I felt fat. It's never good to add to anybody else's suffering. It's an important topic to really get the gravity and the importance of - dealing with dignity.

Margaret Cho

Our true power is revealed when we give it to others.

Yossi Ghinsberg

A cop stopped me for speeding. He said, Why were you going so fast? I said, See this thing my foot is on? It's called an accelerator. When you push down on it, it sends more gas to the engine. The whole car just takes right off. And see this thing? This steers it.

Steven Wright

When we direct our thoughts properly, we can control our emotions...

W. Clement Stone

The loveliest faces are to be seen by moonlight, when one sees half with the eye and half with the fancy.

Proverb

Treasure your relationships, not your possessions.

Anthony J. D'Angelo

I am so tired of fear. And I don't want my girls to live in a country, in a world, based on fear.

Michelle Obama

The way to win an atomic war is to make certain it never starts.
