In order to cease being a doubtful case, one has to cease being, that's all.

Someone has to stand up for wimps.

Barbara Ehrenreich

I think it absolutely necessary that the President should have the power of removing his subordinates from office; it will make him, in a peculiar manner, responsible for their conduct, and subject him to impeachment himself, if he suffers them to perpetrate with impunity high crimes or misdemeanors against the United States, or neglects to superintend their conduct, so as to check their excesses.

James Madison

The main condition for the achievement of love is the overcoming of one's narcissism. The narcissistic orientation is one in which one experiences as real only that which exists within oneself, while the phenomena in the outside world have no reality in themselves, but are experienced only from the viewpoint of their being useful or dangerous to one. The opposite pole to narcissism is objectivity; it is the faculty to see other people and things , objectively, and to be able to separate this picture from a picture which is formed by one's desires and fears.

Erich Fromm

Just play. Have fun. Enjoy the game.

Michael Jordan

Do Something. If it works, do more of it. If it doesn't, do something else.

Franklin D. Roosevelt

And if these mountains had eyes, they would wake to find two strangers in their fences, standing in admiration as a breathing red pours its tinge upon earth's shore. These mountains, which have seen untold sunrises, long to thunder praise but stand reverent, silent so that man's weak praise should be given God's attention.

Donald Miller

Do not share the knowledge with which you have been blessed with everyone in general, as you do with some people in particular and know that there are some men in whom Allah, may He he glorified, has placed hidden secrets, which they are forbidden to reveal.

Ali ibn Abi Talib

Ugly and deformed people have great need of unusual virtues, because they are likely to be extremely uncomfortable without them. (Book V.).

George Eliot

A miser grows rich by seeming poor. An extravagant man grows poor by seeming rich.

William Shakespeare

Rationalism and Newtonian science has lured us into dark woods, but a new metaphysics can rescue us.

Huston Smith

My goal and my career is definitely not to be famous. That's a really horrible goal, just to be famous for the sake of having fame.

Joel McHale

Handmade presents are scary because they reveal that you have too much free time.

Doug Coupland
