Improving our national intelligence capabilities should remain a top priority and a continual process.

Nothing resembles an honest man more than a cheat.

Proverb

I recommend you to take care of the minutes, for the hours will take care of themselves.

Lord Chesterfield

Only God can look at somebody's heart.

Joel Osteen

Small minds are concerned with the extraordinary, great minds with the ordinary.

Blaise Pascal

You do not really understand something unless you can explain it to your grandmother.

Albert Einstein

Her life was one endless loop that she raced around, with steep banked curves so she could never change or slow down. It just delivered her back to herself, over and over and over.

Chris Cleave

But Big Oil and Big Coal have always been as skilled at propaganda as they are at mining and drilling. Like the tobacco industry before them, their success depends on keeping Americans stupid.

Jeff Goodell

Do all things with love.

Og Mandino

I live to hail that season by gifted one foretold, when men shall live by reason, and not alone by gold.

George Linnaeus Banks

I am often confronted by the necessity of standing by one of my empirical selves and relinquishing the rest. Not that I would not. If I could, be... a great athlete and make a million a year, be a wit, a born -- vivant and a lady killer, as well as a philosopher, a philanthropist ... and saint. But the thing is simply impossible. The millionaire's work would run counter to the saint s; the bon-vivant and the philanthropist would trip each other up; the philosopher and the lady killer could not well keep house in the same tenement of clay. Such different characters may conceivably, at the outset of life. Be alike possible for a man. But to make any one of them actual, the rest must more of less be suppressed. So the seeker of his truest, strongest, deepest self must review the list carefully and pick out on which to stake his salvation. All other selves thereupon become unreal, but the fortunes of this self are real. Its failure are real failures, its triumphs real triumphs carrying shame and gladness with them.

William James

A poor relation is the most irrelevant thing in nature, a piece of impertinent correspondence, an odious approximation, a haunting conscience, a preposterous shadow, lengthening in the noon-tide of our prosperity. He is known by his knock.

Charles Lamb

Taken in any context, except seriously, life on earth is palatable and positively enjoyable.
