He that hopes to look back hereafter with satisfaction upon past years must learn to know the present value of single minutes, and endeavour to let no particle of time fall useless to the ground

There can never be peace between nations until there is first known that true peace which is within the souls of men.

Black Elk

My thoughts are my company; I can bring them together, select them, detain them, dismiss them.

Walter Savage Landor

In great cities men are brought together by the desire of gain. They are not in a state of co-operation, but of isolation, as to the making of fortunes; and for all the rest they are careless of neighbors. Christianity teaches us to love our neighbor as ourselves; modern society acknowledges no neighbor.

Benjamin Disraeli

Welcome to the human race. Nobody controls his own life, Ender. The best you can do is choose to fill the roles given you by good people, by people who love you.

Orson Scott Card

I don't want to scrounge around and be homeless, and I want to finish my education.

Callan McAuliffe

There are only two kinds of people who are really fascinating: people who know absolutely everything, and people who know absolutely nothing.

Oscar Wilde

Frankly, I don't mind not being president. I just mind that someone else is.

Edward Kennedy

My progress was rendered delightful by the sylvan elegance of the groves, chearful meadows, and high distant forests, which in grand order presented themselves to view.

William Bartram

Labor is prior to, and independent of, capital. Capital is only the fruit of labor, and could never have existed if labor had not first existed. Labor is the superior of capital, and deserves much the higher consideration.

Abraham Lincoln

The corporate woman has been defined as the 'liberated woman' and I see that as the exact opposite. I think she now is more enslaved, maybe even more than the housewife was because she's so out of her power, and imitating male power is not female power.

Kenny Loggins

The art of losing isn't hard to master; so many things seem filled with the intent to be lost that their loss is no disaster.

Elisabeth Bishop

The songs keep on writing themselves, and I really love them. It's as close as I get to a religion.

Kristin Hersh
