I have heard it said that the first ingredient of success -- the earliest spark in the dreaming youth -- if this; dream a great dream.

Between us and heaven or hell there is only life, which is the frailest thing in the world.

Blaise Pascal

There is no dignity in wickedness, whether in purple or rags; and hell is a democracy of devils, where all are equals.

Herman Melville

It is easy to be beautiful; it is difficult to appear so.

Frank O'Hara

What we do upon some great occasion will probably depend on what we already are. What we are will be the result of previous years of self-discipline.

Henry Parry Liddon

The true measure of any society is not what it knows but what it does with what it knows.

Warren Bennis

Stronger than steel is the sword of the Spirit; Swifter than arrows, the light of the truth; Greater than anger is love that subdueth.

Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

A military coup needs a sacrifice and courage that you can't find in an army without morale.

Jalal Talabani

Nature can do more than physicians.

Oliver Cromwell
