A mother's happiness is like a beacon, lighting up the future but reflected also on the past in the guise of fond memories.

Any existence deprived of freedom is a kind of death.

Michel Aoun

Energy and persistence alter all things.

Benjamin Franklin

The mass of men lead lives of quiet desperation. What is called resignation is confirmed desperation.

Henry David Thoreau

No amount of political freedom will satisfy the hungry masses.

Lenin (Vladimir Ulyanov)

Glamour cannot exist without personal social envy being a common and widespread emotion.

John Berger

Great minds must be ready not only to take opportunities, but to make them.

Charles Caleb Colton

The great difference between present-day Christianity and that of which we read in these letters is that to us it is primarily a performance, to them it was a real experience. To these men it is quite plainly the invasion of their lives by a new quality of life altogether. They do not hesitate to describe this as Christ living in them.

James Phillips

Man consists in Truth. If he exposes Truth, he exposes himself. If he betrays Truth, he betrays himself. We speak not here of lies, but of acting against Conviction.

Novalis

If most of those who took part in this one-dimensional debate were honest with themselves, they would admit that they do not in principle believe that the United States can do any good overseas for anyone but the American government, its armed forces, or privileged American elites.

Christopher Hitchens

I'm against all war.

Puff Daddy

When there is time to think about cricket, I think but when there is time to be with family, I try to do justice to that aspect of my life as well.

Sachin Tendulkar

Justice, Sir, is the great interest of man on earth. It is the ligament which holds civilized beings and civilized nations together. Wherever her temple stands, and so long as it is duly honoured, there is a foundation for social security; general happiness and the improvement and progress of our race. And whoever labours on this edifice with usefulness and distinction, whoever clears its foundations, strenthens its pillars, adores its entablatures or contributes to raise its august dome, still higher in the skies, connects himself in name and fame and character with that which is and must be as durable as the freedom of human society.

Daniel Webster, funeral oration
