I'm just part of a tradition of people who aren't pleased. I would never think anyone else who has the same attitude was getting it from me. I'd just think they're... sensible.

The sensual and spiritual are linked together by a mysterious bond, sensed by our emotions, though hidden from our eyes. To this double nature of the visible and invisible world -- to the profound longing for the latter, coupled with the feeling of the sweet necessity for the former, we owe all sound and logical systems of philosophy, truly based on the immutable principles of our nature, just as from the same source arise the most senseless enthusiasms.

Karl Wilhelm Von Humboldt

Proud people breed sad sorrows for themselves.

Emily Bronte

We're not trying to prove the character of God through science. That's a bad idea. What I'm trying to do is clear away the misunderstandings, the debris that prevent people from accepting that God who wants to accept them.

Phillip E. Johnson

Patience is the companion of wisdom.

Saint Augustine

We should come home from adventures, and perils, and discoveries every day with new experience and character.

Henry David Thoreau

Economy is half the battle of life. It is not so hard to earn money as to spend it well.

C. H. (Charles Haddon) Spurgeon

No one is wise or safe, but they that are honest.

Sir Walter Raleigh

Every little thing she does is magic.

The Police

There is so much good in the worst of us, and so much bad in the best of us, that it ill behaves any of us to find fault with the rest of us.

James Truslow Adams

More than ever before, Americans are suffering from back problems, back taxes, back rent, back auto payments.

Robert Orben

I rise today to offer a formal and heartfelt apology to all the victims of lynching in our history, and for the failure of the United States Senate to take action when action was most needed.

George Allen

Both the grand and the intimate aspects of nature can be revealed in the expressive photograph. Both can stir enduring affirmations and discoveries, and can surely help the spectator in his search for identification with the vast world of natural beauty and wonder surrounding him.

Ansel Adams
