A little learning is not a dangerous thing to one who does not mistake it for a great deal.

The meek shall inherit the earth, but not its mineral rights.

J. Paul Getty

It is the characteristic excellence of the strong man that he can bring momentous issues to the fore and make a decision about them. The weak are always forced to decide between alternatives they have not chosen themselves.

Dietrich Bonhoeffer

If a patron buys from an artist who needs money (needs money to buy tools, time, food), the patron then makes himself equal to the artist; he is building art into the world; he creates.

Ezra Pound

If a mute kid swears, should his mother wash his hands with soap?

Steven Wright

Alexander Pope

It is in war that the State really comes into its own: swelling in power, in number, in pride, in absolute dominion over the economy and the society.

Murray Rothbard

Man is the creature of circumstances.

Robert Owen

Our grand business is not to see what lies dimly at a distance, but to do what lies clearly at hand.

Thomas Carlyle

I have my foggy and my fine days within me; my prosperity or misfortune has little to do with the matter. I sometimes struggle against luck, the glory of mastering it makes me master it gaily; whereas I am sometimes surfeited in the midst of good fortune.

Blaise Pascal

I apologize for my terrible interview skills. I wasn't prepared to expose stories about something so special and wonderfully private that is happening in my life. I guess a part of me wishes that I'd never have to and that maybe I could protect this special time. I was dreaming.

Heath Ledger

So much of what I am I got from you. I had no idea how much of it was secondhand.

Peter Townsend

Happy is said to be the family which can eat onions together. They are, for the time being, separate, from the world, and have a harmony of aspiration.

Charles Dudley Warner
