Any law that takes hold of a mans daily life cannot prevail in a community, unless the vast majority of the community are actively in favor of it. The laws that are the most operative are the laws which protect life.

A loving heart is the beginning of all knowledge.

Thomas Carlyle

The simplification of life is one of the steps to inner peace. A persistent simplification will create an inner and outer well-being that places harmony in one's life.

Peace Pilgrim

The future has already arrived. It's just not evenly distributed yet.

William Gibson

The first principle of ethical power is Purpose. By purpose, I don't mean your objective or intention-something toward which you are always striving. Purpose is something bigger. It is the picture you have of yourself-the kind of person you want to be or the kind of life you want to lead.

Ken Blanchard

Science is a cemetery of dead ideas, even though life may issue from them.

Miguel de Unamuno

I was drafted into the Army when I was 19 and came out at age 22. Most people that I knew didn't think they'd come home alive. I didn't think I would either, so I was happy when I did.

Ed Koch

So, in my relationships with men, I've always sought suffering, conflict, and despair.

Paulo Coelho

The hardest thing in life is to know which bridge to cross and which to burn.

David Russell

Enlightened people seldom or never possess a sense of responsibility.

George Orwell

Everyone designs who devises courses of action aimed at changing existing situations into preferred ones.

Herbert Simon

It's easier to write from my own life, and it's also more fun. I always write about relationships, for instance, whether they're romantic relationships, friendships, encounters... there's always a lesson to be learned from them.

Jason Mraz

Indeed many things which we shall not be able to discover either by the experiment of works or by the investigations of reason we shall deserve to be taught by importunate prayer, by the revelation of divine inspiration.

Richard of Saint Victor
