Know first who you are; and then adorn yourself accordingly.

A river is more than an amenity, it is a treasure.

Oliver Wendell Holmes

People didn't wasn't the People's party to come in to power again, so they saw NS a viable alternative not us, because everyone knew we were not ready.

Imran Khan

...don't you realize a flawless profile means nothing when a mere smile drives me to desperation? Don't you covet that power?..

John Geddes

A line from one of my 1997 columns - 'Do one thing every day that scares you' - is now widely attributed to Eleanor Roosevelt, though I have yet to see any evidence that she ever said it and I don't believe she did. She said some things about fear, but not that thing.

Mary Schmich

I don't trust anybody who didn't inhale.

Peter Fonda

Resistance is feasible even for those who are not heroes by nature, and it is an obligation, I believe, for those who fear the consequences and detest the reality of the attempt to impose American hegemony.

Noam Chomsky

Be faithful in small things because it is in them that your strength lies.

Mother Teresa

I have a history of making decisions very quickly about men. I have always fallen in love fast and without measuring risks. I have a tendency not only to see the best in everyone, but to assume that everyone is emotionally capable of reaching his highest potential. I have fallen in love more times than I care to count with the highest potential of a man, rather than with the man himself, and I have hung on to the relationship for a long time (sometimes far too long) waiting for the man to ascend to his own greatness. Many times in romance I have been a victim of my own optimism.

Elizabeth Gilbert

A person who has sympathy for mankind in the lump, faith in its future progress, and desire to serve the great cause of this progress, should be called not a humanist, but a humanitarian, and his creed may be designated as humanitarianism.

Irving Babbitt

None without hope e'er lov'd the brightest fair, But love can hope where reason would despair.

George Lyttelton, 1st Baron Lytt

Even if I knew that tomorrow the world would go to pieces, I would still plant my apple tree.

Martin Luther

The progress from an absolute to a limited monarchy, from a limited monarchy to a democracy, is a progress toward a true respect for the individual.

Henry David Thoreau
