Men who are in earnest are not afraid of consequences.

College atheletes used to get a degree in bringing your pencil.

I maintain my inner beauty by trying to lead a balanced life in general. I try to eat healthy foods, but... that doesn't mean I won't treat myself now and then! I work out almost every day, which gives me more energy and helps me feel stronger. I also try to be a genuinely good person to the people around me.

Erica Durance

Language is political. That's why you and me, my Brother and Sister, that's why we supposed to choke our natural self into the weird, lying, barbarous, unreal, white speech and writing habits that the schools lay down like holy law. Because, in other words, the powerful don't play; they mean to keep that power, and those who are the powerless (you and me) better shape up --mimic/ape/suck --in the very image of the powerful, or the powerful will destroy you --you and our children.

June Jordan

To have done anything just for money is to have been truly idle.

Henry David Thoreau

I always tell people that our sports aren't that dangerous.

Shaun White

Historical truth is that, and that alone, which reveals the forces that go to mould the social life of mankind.

Ahad Ha'am

There are flood and drought over the eyes and in the mouth, dead water and dead sand contending for the upper hand. The parched eviscerate soil gapes at the vanity of toil, laughs without mirth. This is the death of the earth.

TS (Thomas Stearns) Eliot

We become what we want to be by consistently being what we want to become each day.

Richard G. Scott

What is vital and healthy does not necessarily survive... An art, a whole civilization, may at any time slip through men's fingers in a very few years and be gone beyond recovery. If we are alive when such a thing is happening we shall hardly notice it until too late; and it is most unlikely that we shall know its causes.

C.S. Lewis

Do not fear the curse that an enemy has uttered, it is harmless.. but the sigh concealed in a loved one's broken heart may add to your sins.

Ram Mohan

There are many forms of magic in this world, High Lord. Some come in large packages, some in small. Some work with fire and strength of body and heard ... and some work with revelation.

Terry Brooks

You are young, my son, and, as the years go by, time will change and even reverse many of your present opinions. Refrain therefore awhile from setting yourself up as a judge of the highest matters.

Plato
