If a man aspires to a righteous life, his first act of abstinence if from injury to animals.

He possessed beauty without vanity, strength without insolence; courage without ferocity; and all the virtues of man without his vices

Lord Byron

I'm often called an old-fashioned modernist. But the modernists had the absurd idea that architecture could heal the world. That's impossible. And today nobody expects architects to have these grand visions any more.

Thom Mayne

A man may be in as just possession of truth as of a city, and yet be forced to surrender.

Sir Thomas Browne

I've spent lots of time in London, I studied in London, I like London. It's just not my home.

Johnny Vegas

The internet is a great way to get on the net.

Bob Dole

Please send me your last pair of shoes, worn out with dancing as you mentioned in your letter, so that I might have something to press against my heart.

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

This is a country for, of, and by the people not for, of, and by the government. If we turn it over to them we cannot complain about what they're doing because this is a natural course of men and we have to hold their feet to the fire.

Benjamin Carson

Pride the first peer and president of hell.

Daniel Defoe

Thinking things has been done through the ages; knowing things remains to be done.

Source Unknown

He who is void of virtuous attachments in private life is, or very soon will be, void of all regard for his country. There is seldom an instance of a man guilty of betraying his country, who had not before lost the feeling of moral obligations in his private connections.

Samuel Adams

I'm really very sorry for you all, but it's an unjust world, and virtue is triumphant only in theatrical performances.

W.S. Gilbert

Make a difference today for someone who's fighting for their tomorrow.

Jim Kelly
