Laws too gentle are seldom obeyed too severe, seldom executed.

I am fallen, flawed and imperfect. Yet drenched in the grace and mercy that is found in Jesus Christ, there is strength

Adam Young

Nothing strengthens the judgement and quickens the conscience like individual responsibility.

Elizabeth Cady Stanton

There is a fine line between fishing and just standing on the shore like an idiot.

Steven Wright

We fight, get beat, rise, and fight again.

Nathanael Greene

Eu chorei para valer, sem tentar bancar o durão, segurando aquelas folhas que se molhavam com minhas lágrimas, as letras ficando borradas. Palavras que me fizeram conhecer a forma mais louvável de amor: aquele que se dá a quem dele tanto necessita, bem no instante desesperado da necessidade.

Camilo Gomes Jr

I basically became a cheerleader because I had a very strict mom. That was my way of being a bad girl.

Sandra Bullock

It is not difficult for me to have this faith, for it is incontrovertible that where there is a plan there is intelligence - an orderly, unfolding universe testifies to the truth of the most majestic statement ever uttered - 'In the beginning, God.'

Arthur H. Compton

Let's not be narrow, nasty, and negative.

Vernon Grounds

One should part from life as Odysseus parted from Nausicaa: with a blessing rather than in love

Friedrich Nietzsche

The two enemies of human happiness are pain and boredom.

Arthur Schopenhauer

The events of human life, whether public or private, are so intimately linked to architecture that most observers can reconstruct nations or individuals in all the truth of their habits from the remains of their public monuments or from their domestic relics. Archaeology is to social nature what comparative anatomy is to organized nature. A mosaic reveals an entire society, just as a skeleton of an ichthyosaur suggests an entire creation. Everything is deducible, everything is linked. The cause allows one to guess the effect, just as each effect allows one to reconstruct a cause. The scientist can resuscitate in this manner even the warts of ancient times. From this comes without doubt the prodigious interest that an architectural description can inspire when the writer's fantasy is faithful to its basic elements. Cannot each person reattach it to its past by rigorous deductions? And as for man, does not the past singularly resemble the future? Tell him what was and is this not almost always the same thing as telling him what will be?

Honore de Balzac, The Search for

The ability to express an idea is well nigh as important as the idea itself.

Bernard Baruch
