One cannot wage war under present conditions without the support of public opinion, which is tremendously molded by the press and other forms of propaganda.

People in high life are hardened to the wants and distresses of mankind as surgeons are to their bodily pains.

G. K. Chesterton

Thoughts are like burning stars, and ideas, they flood, they stretch the universe.

Criss Jami

The soul gives unity to what it looks at with love.

Thomas Carlyle

Preparation for old age should begin not later than one's teens. A life which is empty of purpose until 65 will not suddenly become filled on retirement.

Arthur E. Morgan

Seize thy chance, for it will come to thee no more.

Baha'u'llah

The best actors do not let the wheels show.

Henry Fonda

It is useless to close the gates against ideas; they overlap them.

Klemens Von Metternich

Sense is a line, the mind is a circle. Sense is like a line which is the flux of a point running out from itself, but intellect like a circle that keeps within itself.

Ralph J. Cudworth

At one time,' Golenishchev continued, either not observing or not willing to observe that both Anna and Vronsky wanted to speak, 'at one time a freethinker was a man who had been brought up in the conception of religion, law, and morality, who reached freethought only after conflict and difficulty. But now a new type of born freethinkers has appeared, who grow up without so much as hearing that there used to be laws of morality, or religion, that authorities existed. They grow up in ideas of negation in everything -- in other words, utter savages.

Leo Tolstoy

Think of submitting our measure to the advice of politicians! I would as soon submit the subject of the equality of a goose to a fox.

Anna Howard Shaw

There is never vulgarity in a whole truth, however commonplace. It may be unimportant or painful. It cannot be vulgar. Vulgarity is only in concealment of truth, or in affectation.

John Ruskin

A dream doesn't die because it has no truth. It dies because you fail to nurture it.
