How, then,' I hear you ask, 'shall I attain my end, whether it be Christian love, socialism, or American democracy?' Your Christian love and your socialism and your American democracy are what you do each day, your manner of thinking each hour, of embracing your life companion and loving your child; they are your attitude of social responsibility towards your work, and your determination not to become like the crushers of life you so hate.

...people quote proverbs without realizing they're really in awe of the authority of their truth and the power of their expression...

John Geddes

Democracy becomes a government of bullies tempered by editors.

Ralph Waldo Emerson

I'm really thankful and complimented when people come to me and say, thank you for the great times for all these years. But I don't think about it as being a leader.

Bill Kreutzmann

I like spring, but it is too young. I like summer, but it is too proud. So I like best of all autumn, because its tone is mellower, its colours are richer, and it is tinged with a little sorrow. Its golden richness speaks not of the innocence of spring, nor the power of summer, but of the mellowness and kindly wisdom of approaching age. It knows the limitations of life and its content.

Lin Yutang

Be careful the environment you choose for it will shape you; be careful the friends you choose for you will become like them.

W. Clement Stone

I think a lot of people, even Christians, are willing to be satisfied with gaining lots and lots of biblical knowledge - and many people go to Bible studies and don't realize it isn't enough to know what's right, it's applying the information and the knowledge that you have.

Charles Stanley

My dad read the Bible ten times, and I want to do it in my lifetime. But it's definitely tough getting through.

Pamela Anderson

The battle was first waged over the right of the Negro to be classed as a human being with a soul later, as to whether he had sufficient intellect to master even the rudiments of learning and today it is being fought out over his social recognition.

James Weldon Johnson

Specialized meaninglessness has come to be regarded, in certain circles, as a kind of hall-mark of true science.

Aldous Huxley

Let us live while we live.

Philip Doddridge

They sicken at the calm that know the storm.

Dorothy Parker

One day of happiness is worth more than a lifetime of sorrow .... Under ordinary circumstances, jealousy is a suspicion to the person who excites it and degrading to the person who indulges it.

Victor Hugo
