O God of earth and altar, Bow down and hear our cry, Our earthly rulers falter, Our people drift and die; The walls of gold entomb us, The swords of scorn divide, Take not thy thunder from us, But take away our pride.

Human relationships always help us to carry on because they always presuppose further developments, a future - and also because we live as if our only task was precisely to have relationships with other people.

Albert Camus

I would take a bomb, but I can't stand the noise.

Joe E. Lewis

Man is a Religious Animal. He is the only Religious Animal. He is the only animal that has the True Religion - several of them. He is the only animal that loves his neighbor as himself and cuts his throat if his theology isn't straight. He has made a graveyard of the globe in trying his honest best to smooth his brother's path to happiness and heaven.

Mark Twain

There must be, not a balance of power, but a community of power; not organized rivalries, but an organized peace.

Woodrow Wilson

I would put myself in the attitude to look in the eye an abstract truth, and I cannot. I blench and withdraw on this side and on that. I seem to know what he meant who said, No man can see God face to face and live.

Ralph Waldo Emerson

Great thieves punish little ones.

Proverb

I have a talent for happiness. I look with the eyes of a painter, and I see beauty.

Sylvia Kristel

I am free of all prejudices. I hate every one equally.

W. C. Fields

I would rather have my ignorance than another man's knowledge, because I have so much of it.

Mark Twain

Neither the sun nor death can be looked at with a steady eye.

Francois de La Rochefoucauld

Learning is its own exceeding great reward.

William Hazlitt

The Sunday School teacher talked too much in the way our grade school teacher used to when she told us about George Washington. Pleasant, pretty stories, but not true.

Frances Farmer
