He who hears the rippling of rivers in these degenerate days will not utterly despair.

A band is not a marriage. There are no oaths of allegiance. If you feel your life will be better served by splitting up the group, you've got to do it - but of course it does cause problems.

Steve Winwood

Men don't need linguistic talent; they just need courage and words.

Helen Fisher

I have to be in a relationship where I can say what I feel even if it's wrong - so we can work through it.

Bethenny Frankel

Christians are to be taught that the pope would and should wish to give of his own money, even though he had to sell the basilica of St. Peter, to many of those from whom certain hawkers of indulgences cajole money.

Martin Luther

The problem with falling in love is falling back out of it again, usually because you've fallen in love with a lie. That happens as often as not.

Ellen Hopkins

Through the higher love the whole life of man is to be elevated from temporal selfishness to the spring of all love, to God: man will again be master over nature by abiding in God and lifting her up to God.

Meister Eckhart

The hero draws inspiration from the virtue of his ancestors.

Johann von Goethe

Every man had his personal habits, passions, and impulses toward goodness, beauty, and truth.

Leo Tolstoy

Every spoken word arouses our self-will.

Johann von Goethe

Research programmes, besides their negative heuristic, are also characterized by their positive heuristic.

Imre Lakatos

It's not that I feel that school is a good idea gone wrong, but a wrong idea from the word go. It's a nutty notion that we can have a place where nothing but learning happens, cut off from the rest of life.

John Holt

Our form of government does not enter into rivalry with the institutions of others. We do not copy our neighbours, but are an example to them. It is true that we are called a democracy, for the administration is in the hands of the many and not of the few. But while the law secures equal justice to all alike in their private disputes, the claim of excellence is also recognised; and when a citizen is in any way distinguished, he is preferred to the public service, not as a matter of privilege, but as the reward of merit. Neither is poverty a bar, but a man may benefit his country whatever be the obscurity of his condition.

Thucydides
