Great minds are to make others great. Their superiority is to be used, not to break the multitude to intellectual vassalage, not to establish over them a spiritual tyranny, but to rouse them from lethargy, and to aid them to judge for themselves.

They're not chicks. They're ducks.

Lauren Myracle

Many things about our bodies would not seem to us so filthy and obscene if we did not have the idea of nobility in our heads.

G. C. (Georg Christoph) Lichtenb

The object of a New Year is not that we should have a new year. It is that we should have a new soul and a new nose; new feet, a new backbone, new ears, and new eyes. Unless a particular man made New Year resolutions, he would make no resolutions. Unless a man starts afresh about things, he will certainly do nothing effective.

Gilbert K. Chesterton

My mom will make me walk the dogs or take out the trash when I go home.

Queen Latifah

The less you know, the more you think you know, because you don't know you don't know.

Ray Stevens

Experience, like a pale musician, holds a dulcimer of patience in his hand.

Elizabeth Barrett Browning

An individual without information can't take responsibility. An individual with information can't help but take responsibility.

Jan Carlzon

Frequent worshippers are also significantly more active citizens. They are more likely to belong to community organizations, especially those concerned with young people, health, arts and leisure, neighborhood and civic groups and professional associations.

Jonathan Sacks

First think of the person who lives in disguise,Who deals in secrets and tells naught but lies.Next, tell me what's always the last thing to mend,The middle of middle and the end of end?And finally give me the sound often heardDuring the search for a hard-to-find word.Now string them together, and answer me this,Which creature would you be unwilling to kiss?

J.K. Rowling

Some of you say religion makes people happy. So does laughing gas.

Clarence Darrow

A classic is classic not because it conforms to certain structural rules, or fits certain definitions (of which its author had quite probably never heard). It is classic because of a certain eternal and irrepressible freshness.

Ezra Pound

The joy you bring us is so much greater than the sadness we feel about your illness.

John Green
