Nature is a temple in which living columns sometimes emit confused words. Man approaches it through forests of symbols, which observe him with familiar glances.

Let's try winning and see what it feels like. If we don't like it, we can go back to our traditions.

Paul Tsongas

Mmm, I love Yoda. I didn't like Jar Jar Binks though, he was all wrong.

Gail Porter

Politicians should read science fiction, not westerns and detective stories.

Arthur C. Clarke

In order to excel, you must be completely dedicated to your chosen sport. You must also be prepared to work hard and be willing to accept constructive criticism. Without one-hundred percent dedication, you won't be able to do this.

Willie Mays

It's true hard work never killed anyone, but I figure, why take the chance?

Ronald Reagan

Sir Winston Churchill

Being contented ought to mean in English, as it does in French, being pleased. Being content with an attic ought not to mean being unable to move from it and resigned to living in it; it ought to mean appreciating all there is in such a position.

G. K. Chesterton

The acquisition of a new truth is like the acquisition of a new sense, which renders a man capable and recognizing a large number of phenomena that are hidden from another, as they were from him originally.

Justus von Liebig

Cassandra Clare

Science can make man comfortable, but only wisdom can make man happy.

Theodore Hesburgh

Knowledge of ourselves teaches us whence we come, where we are and whither we are going. We come from God and we are in exile; and it is because our potency of affection lends towards God that we are aware of this state of exile.

Jan Van Ruysbroeck

I know of no greater work for humanity than in the cause of peace, which can only be achieved by the earnest efforts of nations and peoples.
