One should always think of what one is about: when one is learning, one should not think of play: and when one is at play, one should not think of one's learning.

The beginning and almost the end of all good law is that everyone shall work for their bread and receive good bread for their work.

John Ruskin

Speak only if it improves upon the silence.

Mahatma Gandhi

It's one of those secrets that's embarrassing to acknowledge, but we do love our students.

The condition of man... is a condition of war of everyone against everyone.

Thomas Hobbes

The greatest happiness of life is the conviction that we are loved; loved for ourselves, or rather, loved in spite of ourselves.

Victor Hugo

The word courage - God, I love that word. Words are so important to me.

Peter Fonda

My philosophy of leadership is to surround myself with good people who have ability, judgment and knowledge, but above all, a passion for service.

Sonny Perdue

Yes, 85 percent of the art you see isn't any good. But everyone has a different opinion about which 85 percent is bad. That in turn creates fantastically unstable interplay and argument.

Jerry Saltz

I influenced the BG style by not being able to draw perspective. The BG artists developed cool graphic painting styles to make my bad backgrounds look like they were that way on purpose.

John Kricfalusi

Belief is always most desired, most pressingly needed where there is a lack of will, for the will, as emotion of command, is the distinguishing characteristic of sovereignty and power. That is to say, the less a person knows how to command, the more urgent is his desire for one who commands, who commands sternly - a God, a prince, a caste, a physician, a confessor, a dogma, a party consciene. From whence perhaps it could be inferred that the two world religions, Buddhism and Christianity, might well have had the cause of their rise, and especially of their rapid extension, in an extraordinary malady of the will.

Friedrich Nietzsche

A kind and compassionate act is often its own reward.

William John Bennett
