Nor need we power or splendor, wide hall or lordly dome; the good, the true, the tender- these form the wealth of home.

Pray as if everything depends on God. Work as if everything depends on you.

Augustine of Hippo

May my heart be kind, my mind fierce, and my spirit brave.

Kate Forsyth

Man is manacled only by himself; thought and action are the jailers of Fate.

James Allen

The inconvenience, the glaring lights, the long hours of waiting, and the repetition of every scene are all calculated to defeat anything more than a real mastery of love technique.

Ivor Novello

No matter how bad things are, you can at least be happy that you woke up this morning.

D. L. Hughley

There is a progression of understanding vis-?-vis pro football that varies drastically with the factor of distance -- physical, emotional, intellectual and every other way. Which is exactly the way it should be, in the eyes of the amazingly small number of people who own and control the game, because it is this finely managed distance factor that accounts for the high-profit mystique that blew the sacred institution of baseball off its national pastime pedestal in less than fifteen years.

Hunter S. Thompson

He rose without a friend and sat down without an enemy.

Henry Gratton

I did not know then what Brother William was seeking, and to tell the truth, I still do not know today, and I presume he himself did not know, moved as he was solely by the desire for truth, and by the suspicion - which I could see he always harbored - that the truth was not what was appearing to him at any given moment.

Umberto Eco

There's only truth and not truth. You're either very good or evil. I went back to my dorm and asked myself what I was. If your principles aren't grounded in absolute truth, you don't know what to think.

Christine O'Donnell

But this is not difficult, O Athenians! to escape death; but it is much more difficult to avoid depravity, for it runs swifter than death. And now I, being slow and aged, am overtaken by the slower of the two; but my accusers, being strong and active, have been overtaken by the swifter, wickedness. And now I depart, condemned by you to death; but they condemned by truth, as guilty of iniquity and injustice: and I abide my sentence, and so do they. These things, perhaps, ought so to be, and I think that they are for the best.

Plato

Thus the whirligig of time brings in his revenges.

William Shakespeare, TwelfthNigh

There are moments in Life when keeping silent becomes a fault, and speaking an obligation. A civic duty, a moral challenge, a categorical imperative from which we cannot escape.

Oriana Fallaci
