We are hoarding potentials so great that they are just about unimaginable.

I know that faith made my life possible and that of many others like me... Reason hardly warranted Anne Sullivan's attempt to transform a little half-human, half-animal, deaf-blind child into a complete human being. Neither science nor philosophy had set such a goal, but faith, the eye of love did. I did not know I had a soul. Then the God in a wise heart drew me out of nothingness with cords of human love and the life belt of language, and lo, I found myself. In my doubly shadowed world faith gives me a reason for trying to draw harmony out of a marred instrument. Faith is not a cushion for me to fall back upon; it is my working energy.

Helen Keller, Let Us Have Faith,

But let us remember, at the same time, government is sacred, and not to be trifled with.

Jonathan Mayhew

The wisest have the most authority.

Plato

The more original a discovery, the more obvious it seems afterwards.

Arthur Koestler

It seems safe to say that significant discovery, really creative thinking, does not occur with regard to problems about which the thinker is lukewarm.

Mary Henle

Well, I'll tell you something, this wedding is something that I will always, always cherish. It was a show of love and support and kindness like I'd never seen from the people, and that's who I entertain. I entertain the people.

Liza Minnelli

experience keeps a dear school but fools will learn in no other

Benjamin Franklin

Beautiful doesn't begin to describe it. A flower is beautiful. But this is beautiful the way that a person is beautiful- terrifying with its jagged edges, yet seductive with its crevices that hide so many secrets.

Jeri Smith-Ready

Most kings and priests have been despotic, and all religions have been riddled with superstition.

Aldous Huxley

Wine is a part of society because it provides a basis not only for a morality but also for an environment; it is an ornament in the slightest ceremonials of French daily life, from the snack to the feast, from the conversation at the local caf? to the speech at a formal dinner.

Roland Barthes

This is the curse of our age, even the strangest aberrations are no cure for boredom.

Stendhal

If I could work with any actor it would have to be Johnny Depp. He is cool.
