While it may seem small, the ripple effects of small things is extraordinary.

Be honest, brutally honest. That is what's going to maintain relationships.

Lauryn Hill

Time was when I despised the body:But then I saw the God within.The Body I relaised is the Lord's temple;And so I began preserving it with care infinite.

Thirumoolar

Democracy becomes a government of bullies tempered by editors.

Ralph Waldo Emerson

The old-fashioned respect for the young is fast dying out.

Oscar Wilde

Miss: A title with which we brand unmarried women to indicate that they are in the market. Miss, Misses (Mrs.) and Mister (Mr.) are the three most distinctly disagreeable words in the language, in sound and sense. Two are corruptions of Mistress, the other of Master. If we must have them, let us be consistent and give one to the unmarried man. I venture to suggest Mush, abbreviated to MH.

Ambrose Bierce

You are always born under the wrong sign, and to live in this world properly you have to rewrite your own horoscope day by day.

Umberto Eco

Night is certainly more novel and less profane than day.

Henry David Thoreau

For a smart material to be able to send out a more complex signal it needs to be nonlinear. If you hit a tuning fork twice as hard it will ring twice as loud but still at the same frequency. That's a linear response. If you hit a person twice as hard they're unlikely just to shout twice as loud. That property lets you learn more about the person than the tuning fork.

Neil Gershenfeld, When Things St

Who is rich? He that rejoices in his portion.

Benjamin Franklin

When you run into someone who is disagreeable to others, you may be sure he is uncomfortable with himself; the amount of pain we inflict upon others is directly proportional to the amount we feel within us.

Sydney J. Harris

With false names, on the right nets, they could be anybody. Old men, middle-aged women, anybody, as long as they were careful about the way they wrote. All that anyone would see were the words, their ideas. Every citizen started equal, on the nets.

Orson Scott Card

Once in seven years I burn all my sermons; for it is a shame, if I cannot write better sermons now than I did seven years ago.

John Wesley
