If the highest aim of a captain were to preserve his ship, he would keep it in port forever.

Thomas Aquinas

My father really was not the dominant person who raised the family, it was my mother who raised the family.

Stevie Wonder

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

Kate Forsyth

You give me nothing during your life, but you promise to provide for me at your death. If you are not a fool, you know what I wish for!

Marcus Valerius Martial

The sign of a Philistine age is the cry of immorality against art.

Oscar Wilde

Kenneth Scott Latourette

It is an heretic that makes the fire, Not she which burns in't.

William Shakespeare

I want to be a cheerleader for women who have never even considered running for office or being involved in a campaign, but who in the quietness of their hearts might think, 'Why not me?'

Marianne Williamson

And as it the federal district is to be appropriated to this use with the consent of the State ceding it; as the State will no doubt provide in the compact for the rights, and the consent of the citizens inhabiting it; as the inhabitants will find sufficient inducements of interest to become willing parties to the cession; as they will have had their voice in the election of the Government which is to exercise authority over them; as a municipal Legislature for local purposes, derived from their own suffrages, will of course be allowed them; and as the authority of the Legislature of the State, and of the inhabitants of the ceded part of it, to concur in the cession, will be derived from the whole people of the State, in their adoption of the Constitution, every imaginable objection seems to be obviated.

James Madison

High school is neither a democracy nor a dictatorship - nor, contrary to popular belief, an anarchic state. High school is a divine-right monarchy. And when the queen goes on vacation, things change.

John Green

Marc Morial

Every man must get to Heaven his own way.

Frederick the Great
