When we are happy, we are always good, but when we are good, we are not always happy.

Right is its own defense.

Bertolt Brecht

Compared to what we ought to be, we are only half awake. We are making use of only a small part of our physical and mental resources. Stating the thing broadly, the human individual thus lives far within his limits. He possesses power of various sorts which he habitually fails to use.

William James

Thus we have on stage two men, each of whom knows nothing of what he believes the other knows, and to deceive each other reciprocally both speak in allusions, each of the two hoping (in vain) that the other holds the key to his puzzle.

Umberto Eco

We will not learn how to live together in peace by killing each other's children.

Jimmy Carter

If you love something let it go free. If it doesn't come back, you never had it. If it comes back, love it forever.

Doug Horton

Suffering has been stronger than all other teaching, and has taught me to understand what your heart used to be. I have been bent and broken, but - I hope - into a better shape.

Charles Dickens

In the long-run every Government is the exact symbol of its People, with their wisdom and unwisdom we have to say, Like People; like Government.

Thomas Carlyle

Pure phenomenology claims to be the science of pure phenomena. This concept of the phenomenon, which was developed under various names as early as the eighteenth century without being clarified, is what we shall have to deal with first of all.

Edmund Husserl

Liberty is the right to do what I like; license, the right to do what you like.

Bertrand Russell

Content makes poor men rich; discontent makes rich men poor.

Benjamin Franklin

The principle of acting in good faith is at the heart of decent work.

Richard Eyre

Die when I may, I want it said of me by those who knew me best, that I always plucked a thistle and planted a flower where I thought a flower would grow.

Abraham Lincoln
