No horse gets anywhere until he is harnessed. No life ever grows great until it is focused, dedicated, and disciplined.

Nothing was ever done so systematically as nothing is being done now.

Woodrow Wilson

One thing I love about politicians; they won't allow the truth to be obscured by a bunch of facts.

Quentin R. Bufogle

When you are in it up to your ears, keep your mouth shut

As soon as you begin to believe in something, then you can no longer see anything else. The truth you believe in and cling to makes you unavailable to hear anything new.

Pema Chodron, The Wisdom of No E

I have never advocated war except as a means of peace.

Ulysses S. Grant

As with anything creative, change is inevitable.

Enya

Everything beautiful has its moment and then passes away

Cernuda, Luis

The Jew is neither a newcomer nor an alien in this country or on this continent; his Americanism is as original and ancient as that of any race or people with the exception of the American Indian and other aborigines. He came in the caravels of Columbus, and he knocked at the gates of New Amsterdam only thirty-five years after the Pilgrim Fathers stepped ashore on Plymouth Rock.

Oscar Solomon Straus

The worth of a State, in the long run, is the worth of the individuals composing it -- a State which dwarfs its men, in order that they may be more docile instruments in its hands even for beneficial purposes -- will find that with small men no great thing can really be accomplished.

John Stuart Mill

The three hardest tasks in the world are neither physical feats nor intellectual achievements, but moral acts: to return love for hate, to include the excluded, and to say, 'I was wrong'.

Sydney J. Harris

I take thee at thy word:Call me but love, and I'll be new baptized;Henceforth I never will be Romeo.

William Shakespeare

When men have come to the edge of a precipice, it is the lover of life who has the spirit to leap backwards, and only the pessimist who continues to believe in progress.

G.K. Chesterton
