Learning isn't a means to an end; it is an end in itself.

There's only one requirement of any of us, and that is to be courageous. Because courage, as you might know, defines all other human behavior. And, I believe - because I've done a little of this myself - pretending to be courageous is just as good as the real thing.

David Letterman

Obey the principles without being bound by them.

Bruce Lee

I write the vocals last, because I wanted to invent the music first and push the music to the level that I had to compete against it.

Axl Rose

Flowers are happy things.

P. G. [Sir Pelham Grenville] Wod

Consider the perverse effect cap and trade has on altruistic actions. Say you decide to buy a small, high-efficiency car. That reduces your emissions, but not your country's. Instead it allows somebody else to buy a bigger S.U.V. - because the total emissions are set by the cap.

James Hansen

If the Bible is only human lore, and not divine truth, then we have no real answer to those who say, Let's pick the best out of all religions and blend it all into Pan-Deism - one world religion with one god made out of many.

J. Sidlow Baxter

There is no distinctly native American criminal class except Congress.

Mark Twain

I shall never be ashamed of citing a bad author if the line is good.

Seneca (Seneca the Elder)

All architecture is great architecture after sunset; perhaps architecture is really a nocturnal art, like the art of fireworks.

G. K. Chesterton

I went to Catholic high school for half a year and religion wasn't the cool thing to talk about even at a catholic high school. It never came up.

Mandy Moore

When the time for recognition of service to the nation in wartime comes to be considered, Bob Hope should be high on the list. This man drives himself and is driven. It is impossible to see how he can do so much, can cover so much ground, can work so hard, and can be so effective. He works month after month at a pace that would kill most people.

John Steinbeck, Once There Was A

Love in its most genuine sense, can only flourish if it is FREE. We, as people, can only flourish if we are free.
