If the law is upheld only by government officials, then all law is at an end.

The formulation of a problem is often more essential than its solution, which may be merely a matter of mathematical or experimental skill.

Albert Einstein

To avoid criticism say nothing, do nothing, be nothing.

Aristotle

A good part -- and definitely the most fun part -- of being a feminist is about frightening men.

Julie Burchill

From my dad I learned to be good to people, to always be honest and straightforward. I learned hard work and perseverance.

Luke Bryan

The sublimity of wisdom is to do those things living, which are to be desired when dying.

Norman Douglas

Of course, learning is strengthened and solidified when it occurs in a safe, secure and normal environment.

Jean-Bertrand Aristide

I met Elton John at an Interview dinner, and we just sort of became friends. He's got such a wicked sense of humor.

Moby

It takes a long time to become young.

Pablo Picasso

One of the proud joys of the man of letters --if that man of letters is an artist is to feel within himself the power to immortalize at will anything he chooses to immortalize. Insignificant though he may be, he is conscious of possessing a creative divinity. God creates lives; the man of imagination creates fictional lives which may make a profound and as it were more living impression on the world's memory.

Edmond de Goncourt

Men profess to be lovers of music, but for the most part they give no evidence in their opinions and lives that they have heard it.

Henry David Thoreau

When more and more people are thrown out of work, unemployment results.

Calvin Coolidge

You make your own dream. That's the Beatles' story, isn't it? That's Yoko's story. That's what I'm saying now. Produce your own dream. If you want to save Peru, go save Peru. It's quite possible to do anything, but not to put it on the leaders and the parking meters. Don't expect Jimmy Carter or Ronald Reagan or John Lennon or Yoko Ono or Bob Dylan or Jesus Christ to come and do it for you. You have to do it yourself. That's what the great masters and mistresses have been saying ever since time began. They can point the way, leave signposts and little instructions in various books that are now called holy and worshipped for the cover of the book and not for what it says, but the instructions are all there for all to see, have always been and always will be. There's nothing new under the sun. All the roads lead to Rome. And people cannot provide it for you. I can't wake you up. You can wake you up. I can't cure you. You can cure you.

John Lennon
