It's often been observed that the first casualty of war is the truth. But that's a lie, too, in its way. The reality is that, for most wars to begin, the truth has to have been sacrificed a long time in advance.

The real cure for our environmental problems is to understand that our job is to salvage Mother Nature. We are facing a formidable enemy in this field. It is the hunters... and to convince them to leave their guns on the wall is going to be very difficult.

Jacques Yves Cousteau

Nobody has it all, but for me to even come close is amazing.

Adam Levine

In our own hearts, we mold the whole world's hereafters; and in our own hearts we fashion our own gods.

Herman Melville

We have been educated to such a fine -- or dull -- point that we are incapable of enjoying something new, something different, until we are first told what it's all about. We don't trust our five senses; we rely on our critics and educators, all of whom are failures in the realm of creation. In short, the blind lead the blind. It's the democratic way.

Henry Miller

Just find what works for you, what style suits you best, and just be confident enough to rock it.

Odell Beckham, Jr.

The virtue in most request is conformity.

Ralph Waldo Emerson

Originality is nothing but judicious plagiarism.

Voltaire (FrançoisMarie Arouet)

Character in a saint means the disposition of Jesus Christ persistently manifested.

Oswald Chambers

Maturing is realizing how many things don’t require your comment.

Rachel Wolchin

Fascism is a European inquietude. It is a way of knowing everything -- history, the State, the achievement of the proletarianization of public life, a new way of knowing the phenomena of our epoch.

J. A. Primo De Rivera

Religion without humanity is very poor human stuff.

Sojourner Truth

Always hold your head up but be careful to keep your nose at a friendly level.

Max L. Forman
