Man has two great spiritual needs. One is for forgiveness. The other is for goodness.

Speak the speech, I pray you, as I pronounced it to you -- tripping on the tongue; but if you mouth it, as many of your players do, I had as Leif the town-crier spoke my lines.

William Shakespeare

Sigmund Freud

I predict future happiness for Americans, if they can prevent the government from wasting the labors of the people under the pretense of taking care of them.
