Grant me the treasure of sublime poverty: permit the distinctive sign of our order to be that it does not possess anything of its own beneath the sun, for the glory of your name, and that it have no other patrimony than begging.

Whatever affects one directly, affects all indirectly. I can never be what I ought to be until you are what you ought to be. This is the interrelated structure of reality.

Martin Luther King Jr.

When a war breaks out, people say: It's too stupid; it can't last long. But though the war may well be too stupid, that doesn't prevent its lasting. Stupidity has a knack of getting its way; as we should see if we were not always so much wrapped up in ourselves.

Albert Camus

Where equality is undisputed, so also is subordination.

George Bernard Shaw

Are some women and children going to die? Yeah. But it's doing the right thing. You got money, you sit around talking about peace. People who don't have money need some help.

Kid Rock

I'm fulfilled in what I do... I never thought that a lot of money or fine clothes -- the finer things of life -- would make you happy. My concept of happiness is to be filled in a spiritual sense.

Coretta Scott King

Paul Wolfowitz

Meeting you was not the first day of the rest of my life; it was the first day of the BEST of my life.

Steve Maraboli

You have to take strength from the people that love you and the people that love Barbara and the huge number of expressions of sympathy and compassion and support. That has been extremely moving.

Ted Olson

In love - it sounded like a sickness without any cure, and wasn't that just how it sometimes felt?

Cornelia Funke

Whenever cannibals are on the brink of starvation, Heaven, in its infinite mercy, sends them a nice plump missionary

Oscar Wilde

French architecture always manages to combine the most magnificent underlying themes of architecture like Roman design, it looks to the community.

Stephen Gardiner

Failure in the theater is more dramatic and uglier than any other form of writing. It costs so much, you feel so guilty.

Lillian Hellman
