Money, which represents the prose of life, and which is hardly spoken of in parlors without an apology, is, in its effects and laws, as beautiful as roses.

Let no man pull you so low as to hate him.

Martin Luther King Jr.

If God is in a life, it doesn't have to be big to be happy and to be important in His kingdom.

Keith Miller

I don't give them Hell. I just tell the truth about them and they think it's Hell.

Harry S. Truman

Nuclear arms and atomic power represent a technology in which coexistence with man is extremely difficult.

Naoto Kan

Education has failed in a very serious way to convey the most important lesson science can teach: skepticism.

David Suzuki

A round man cannot be expected to fit in a square hole right away. He must have time to modify his shape.

Mark Twain

I mean, every child at one stage dreams of being a prince or a princess.

Mary, Crown Princess of Denmark

When science, art, literature, and philosophy are simply the manifestation of personality they are on a level where glorious and dazzling achievements are possible, which can make a man's name live for thousands of years.

Denis Diderot

The great men among the ancients understood very well how to reconcile manual labour with affairs of state, and thought it no lessening to their dignity to make the one the recreation to the other. That indeed which seems most generally to have employed and diverted their spare hours, was agriculture. Gideon among the Jews was taken from threshing, as well as Cincinnatus amongst the Romans from the plough, to command the armies of their countries...and, as I remember, Cyrus thought gardening so little beneath the dignity and grandeur of a throne, that he showed Xenophon a large field of fruit trees all of his own planting . . . Delving, planting, inoculating, or any the like profitable employments would be no less a diversion than any of the idle sports in fashion, if men could be brought to delight in them.

John Locke, Two Treatises of Gov

For being so ugly, I think God should reward me handsomely.

Jarod Kintz

Music is all about leadership and there ain't really a lot of leaders.

Young Jeezy

In America every woman has her set of girl-friends; some are cousins, the rest are gained at school. These form a permanent committee who sit on each other's affairs, who come out together, marry and divorce together, and who end as those groups of bustling, heartless well-informed club-women who govern society. Against them the Couple of Ehepaar is helpless and Man in their eyes but a biological interlude.

Cyril Connolly
