Nature is an infinite sphere whose center is everywhere and whose circumference is nowhere

When we were told that by freedom we understood free enterprise, we did very little to dispel this monstrous falsehood. Wealth and economic well-being, we have asserted, are the fruits of freedom, while we should have been the first to know that this kind of happiness has been an unmixed blessing only in this country, and it is a minor blessing compared with the truly political freedoms, such as freedom of speech and thought, of assembly and association, even under the best conditions.

Hannah Arendt

Since I am I, I must make an act of self-surrender, however small or however easy, in living to God rather than to my self.

C.S. Lewis

A good novel tells you the truth about its hero but a bad novel tells you the truth about its author.

Gilbert Keith Chesterton

Poetry reveals to us the loveliness of nature, brings back the freshness of youthful feelings, reviews the relish of simple pleasures, keeps unquenched the enthusiasm which warmed the springtime of our being, refines youthful love, strengthens our interest in human mature, by vivid delineations of its tenderest and softest feelings, and through the brightness of its prophetic visions, helps faith to lay hold on the future life.

William Ellery Channing

I do think I feel it but you don't think you are cause at a certain time you are no age but you don't think you are anything. You feel the life you have lived. I feel that. It's been a long fifty years.

Bob Geldof

Your whole life is on the other side of the glass. And there is nobody watching.

Alan Bennett

All things are difficult before they are easy.

Thomas Fuller

Entrepreneurial profit is the expression of the value of what the entrepreneur contributes to production.

Joseph Schumpeter

Whatever your life's work is, do it well. A man should do his job so well that the living, the dead, and the unborn could do it no better.

Martin Luther King, Jr.

Mediocre men often have the most acquired knowledge.

Claude Bernard

One comes to believe whatever one repeats to oneself sufficiently often, whether the statement be true of false. It comes to be dominating thought in one's mind.

Robert Collier

I'm in trouble because I'm normal and slightly arrogant. A lot of people don't like themselves and I happen to be totally in love with myself.

Mike Tyson
