We should never permit ourselves to do anything that we are not willing to see our children do.

The English never draw a line without blurring it.

Sir Winston Churchill

I wear not My dagger in my mouth

William Shakespeare

What do we want with this vast, worthless area? This region of savages and wild beasts, of deserts of shifting sands and whirlwinds of dust, of cactus and prairie dogs? To what use could we ever hope to put these great deserts, or those endless mountain ranges, impenetrable and covered to their very base with eternal snow? What can we ever hope to do with the western coast, a coast of three thousand miles, rock-bound, cheerless, uninviting, and not a harbor on it? What use have we for this country?

Daniel Webster

The world is a good judge of things, for it is in natural ignorance, which is man's true state. The sciences have two extremes which meet. The first is the pure natural ignorance in which all men find themselves at birth. The other extreme is that reached by great intellects, who, having run through all that men can know, find they know nothing, and come back again to that same ignorance from which they set out; but this is a learned ignorance which is conscious of itself. Those between the two, who have departed from natural ignorance and not been able to reach the other, have some smattering of this vain knowledge and pretend to be wise. These trouble the world and are bad judges of everything. The people and the wise constitute the world; these despise it, and are despised. They judge badly of everything, and the world judges rightly of them.

Blaise Pascal

A moment of consideration often prevents a thousand apologies

Kevin J. Anderson

The essence of justice is mercy.

This will be our reply to violence: to make music more intensely, more beautifully, more devotedly than ever before.

Leonard Bernstein

I deepen my experience of God through prayer, meditation, and forgiveness.

Marianne Williamson

Our civil rights have no dependence upon our religious opinions more than our opinions in physics or geometry.

Thomas Jefferson

You are only as beautiful as your last action ...

Stephen Richards

Our favorite attitude should be gratitude

Zig Ziglar

Only those afraid of the truth seek to silence debate, intimidate those with whom they disagree, or slander their ideological counterparts. Those who know they are right have no reason to stifle debate because they realize that all opposing arguments will ultimately be overcome by fact.
