Maybe with your emotions and your feelings, someone else can say it in a different way than you would, which brings new life to the way you might sing it.

I'm proud of the U.S.A. We've done some amazing things. To wear our flag in the Olympics is an honor.

Shaun White

All this worldly wisdom was once the unamiable heresy of some wise man.

Henry David Thoreau

Our struggle is--isn't it?--to achieve and retain faith on a lower level. To believe that there is a Listener at all. For as the situation grows more and more desperate, the grisly fears intrude. Are we only talking to ourselves in an empty universe? The silence is often so emphatic. And we have prayed so much already

C.S. Lewis

One of the grat tragedies of life is that men seldom bridge the gulf between practice and profession, between doing and saying. A persistent schizophrenia leaves so many of us tragically divided against ourselves. On the one hand, we proudly profess certain sublime and noble principles, but on the other hand, we sadly practise the very antithesis of these principles. How often are our lives characterised by a high blood pressure of creeds and an anaemia of deeds! We talk eloquently about our commitment to the principles of Christianity, and yet our lives are saturated with the practices of paganism. We proclaim our devotion to democracy, but we sadly practise the very opposite of the democratic creed. We talk passionately about peace, and at the same time we assiduously prepare for war. We make our fervent pleas for the high road of justice, and then we tread unflinchingly the low road of injustice. This strange dichotomy, this agonising gulf between the and the , represents the tragic theme of man's earthly pilgrimage.

Martin Luther King Jr.

I am the tool with which God works. My virtue is to participate in this work, and I can do so if I keep the instrument which is given to me, namely my soul, in immaculate condition.

Leo Tolstoy

I've always enjoyed traveling and having experience with different cultures and different people. But it's also a wonderful thing to be able to benefit and enable research, not only in our country but around the world.

Laurel Clark

A bad man is the sort who weeps every time he speaks of a good woman.

H. L. Mencken

I'm sorry you are wiser, I sorry you are taller; I liked you better foolish and I liked you better smaller.

Aline Murray Kilmer

So much of my aesthetic was formed by my dad.

Ron Perlman

Education is the leading of human souls to what is best, and making what is best out of them.

John Ruskin

You might want to put some clothes on' suggested Jace 'I'm all for the bra and panties look, but you don't want the Silent Brothers to die of excitement

Cassandra Clare

Trust me that as I ignore all law to help the slave, so will I ignore it all to protect an enslaved woman.

Susan B. Anthony
