Love and dignity cannot share the same abode.

Where, after all, do universal human rights begin? In small places, close to home - so close and so small that they cannot be seen on any maps of the world. Yet they are the world of the individual person; the neighborhood he lives in; the school or college he attends; the factory, farm, or office where he works. Such are the places where every man, woman, and child seeks equal justice, equal opportunity, equal dignity without discrimination. Unless these rights have meaning there, they have little meaning anywhere. Without concerted citizen action to uphold them close to home, we shall look in vain for progress in the larger world.

Eleanor Roosevelt

I am opposed to millionaires, but it would be dangerous to offer me the position.

Mark Twain

Until it is kindled by a spirit as flamingly alive as the one which gave it birth a book is dead to us. Words divested of their magic are but dead hieroglyphs.

Henry Miller

Studies serve for delight, for ornaments, and for ability.

Francis Bacon

Those who hate most fervently must have once loved deeply; those who want to deny the world must have once embraced what they now set on fire.

Kurt Tucholsky

When I look into the crowd, I see young and old, black and white - it's amazing that I'm able to connect with so many different kinds of people.

Patti LaBelle

Charming people live up to the very edge of their charm, and behave as outrageously as the world lets them.

Logan Pearsall Smith

You and I know and do not believe that life is so dear and peace so sweet as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery. If nothing is worth dying for, when did this begin...? ...Should Moses have told the children of Israel to live in slavery under the pharaohs? Should Christ have refused the cross? Should the patriots of Concord Bridge have thrown down their guns and refused to fire the shot heard 'round the world?

Ronald Reagan

Give me the children until they are seven and anyone may have them afterwards.

St.Francis Xavier

I wear my heart on my sleeve.

Princess of Wales Diana

I just went off for two months traveling around Europe on a motorcycle and pretty much turned my phone off. I did 5,000 miles with my dad. We went through Holland, Germany, Austria, Slovenia, Croatia, Bosnia, Montenegro, Italy... and then I did Spain and France by myself.

Michael Fassbender

A unjust law, is no law at all.

Martin Luther King Jr.
