Moreover, environmental health at the local level has become narrowly focused, very much defined around regulations and the attendant regulatory debates.

Being Southern and being the guy I've been all my life, I've lived more on the lighter side of life. I have a dark side, but that's not where I come from. A lot of artists like to come from that.

Josh Holloway

Common sense in an uncommon degree is what the world calls wisdom.

Samuel Taylor Coleridge

There is no stopping place in this life--nor is there ever one for any person, no matter how far along the way one's gone.

Meister Eckhart

People see my photos and think I labor over my image and I'm this cool, brooding artist. But I'm just having fun with it.

Lenny Kravitz

It is a truth universally acknowledged that a single man in possession of a good fortune must be in want of a wife.

Jane Austen

The poet is the sayer, the namer, and represents beauty. He is a sovereign, and stands on the centre. For the world is not painted, or adorned, but is from the beginning beautiful; and God has not made some beautiful things, but Beauty is the creator of the universe. Therefore the poet is not any permissive potentate, but is emperor in his own right. Criticism is infested with a cant of materialism, which assumes that manual skill and activity is the first merit of all men, and disparages such as say and do not, overlooking the fact, that some men, namely, poets, are natural sayers, sent into the world to the end of expression, and confounds them with those whose province is action, but who quit it to imitate the sayers. The poet does not wait for the hero or the sage, but, as they act and think primarily, so he writes primarily what will and must be spoken, reckoning the others, though primaries also, yet, in respect to him, secondaries and servants; as sitters or models in the studio of a painter, or as assistants who bring building materials to an architect.

Ralph Waldo Emerson

I have always been and will be an enemy of communism, but I love all people.

Lech Walesa

Who is the happiest of men? He who values the merits of others, and in their pleasure takes joy, even as though t'were his own.

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

The act of divine worship is the inestimable privilege of man, the only created being who bows in humility and adoration.

Hosea Ballou

War is pillage versus resistance and if illusions of magnitude could be transmuted into ideals of magnanimity, peace might be realized.

Marianne Moore

A promise must never be broken.

Alexander Hamilton

Vengeance has no foresight.

Napoleon Bonaparte
