No man's life, liberty or property are safe while the legislature is in session.

In love, there is always one who kisses and one who offers the cheek.

Proverb

I'm not an atheist and I don't think I can call myself a pantheist. We are in the position of a little child entering a huge library filled with books in many different languages. The child knows someone must have written those books. It does not know how. It does not understand the languages in which they are written. The child dimly suspects a mysterious order in the arrangement of the books but doesn't know what it is. That, it seems to me, is the attitude of even the most intelligent human being toward God. We see a universe marvelously arranged and obeying certain laws, but only dimly understand these laws. Our limited minds cannot grasp the mysterious force that moves the constellations.

Albert Einstein

I emphasize self-esteem, self-confidence, and dignity, not as an ideal, but as a real test of community organization. Without leadership development, community organizations do not have staying power.

Paul Wellstone

A man who dares to waste one hour of his life has not discovered the value of life.

Charles Darwin

How dwarfed against his manliness she sees the poor pretension, the wants, the aims, the follies, born of fashion and convention!

John Greenleaf Whittier

I was 17 and just learning what high fidelity was, what good sound was, and learning the mechanics of tape machines. It was a real education, going right from the consumer end to the record factory.

Alan Parsons

If you have ever been in a real tragic or sad situation, the words that come out are hopelessly inadequate and kind of cliched.

Erika Slezak

That which is really beautiful has no need of anything; not more than law, not more than truth, not more than benevolence or modesty.

Marcus Aurelius

Your children are not your children.They are the sons and daughters of Life's longing for itself.They come through you but not from you.And though they are with you, yet they belong not to you.You may give them your love but not your thoughts.For they have their own thoughts.You may house their bodies but not their souls,For their souls dwell in the house of tomorrow,Which you cannot visit, not even in your dreams.You may strive to be like them, but seek not to make them like you,For life goes not backward nor tarries with yesterday.You are the bows from which your children as living arrows are sent forth.The archer sees the mark upon the path of the infinite, and He bends you with His might that His arrows might go swift and far.Let your bending in the archer's hand be for gladness;For even as He loves the arrow that flies,so He loves also the bow that is stable.

Kahlil Gibran

When we are judging everything, we are learning nothing.

Steve Maraboli

The art of pleasing consists in being pleased.

William Hazlitt

We may not be all that bright, Jace said, but at least we are alive.

Cassandra Clare
