When there is a lack of honor in government, the morals of the whole people are poisoned.

A writer must teach himself that the basest of all things is to be afraid.

William Faulkner

Thieves respect property. They merely wish the property to become their property that they may more perfectly respect it.

Gilbert K. Chesterton

The mother-child relationship is paradoxical and, in a sense, tragic. It requires the most intense love on the mother's side, yet this very love must help the child grow away from the mother, and to become fully independent.

Erich Fromm

Value is the way animal interest and partiality are experienced in consciousness. As such, they involve a relation between objects of pursuit, animal tendencies and the intuited moral essences the psyche projects on what it seeks. We cannot speak of virtue and vice, therefore, without taking the needs and the desires, the very nature of the animal into account. These natures are diverse and changeable; any overlap between them is a contingent matter of fact. Moral truth thus becomes empirical truth about morality, a prosaic catalogue of who prizes what, a record of the moral history of the world rather than a guide to its correct development.

John Lachs

Achievement has no color

Abraham Lincoln

The heights by great men reached and kept Were not obtained by sudden flight,But they, while their companions slept,Were toiling upward in the night

Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

Things are not bad in themselves, but our cowardice makes them so.

Michel de Montaigne

Reason is emotion for the sexless.

Heathcote Williams

Most of the time I liked school and got good grades. In junior high, though, I hit a stumbling block with math - I used to come home and cry because of how frustrated I was! But after a few good teachers and a lot of perseverance, I ended up loving math and even choosing it as a major when I got to college.

Danica McKellar

Markets change, tastes change, so the companies and the individuals who choose to compete in those markets must change.

An Wang

However saying that I totally support the concept of civil partnerships in the eyes of the law, and think it a disgrace that same sex couples have had to wait so long for legal rights, protection and recognition.

Adam Rickitt

Those who consciousness is unified abandon all attachment to the results of action and attain supreme peace. But those whose desires are fragmented, who are selfishly attached to the results of their work, are bound in everything they do.

Bhagavad Gita
