We have penetrated far less deeply into the regularities obtaining within the realm of living things, but deeply enough nevertheless to sense at least the rule of fixed necessity... what is still lacking here is a grasp of the connections of profound generality, but not a knowledge of order itself.

When a subject becomes totally obsolete we make it a required course.

Peter Drucker

The only significance of life consists in helping to establish the kingdom of God; and this can be done only by means of the acknowledgment and profession of the truth by each one of us.

Leo Tolstoy

My mother's studies stopped with the third year of primary school, my father with the first. They taught me a deep sense of duty. But nobody was involved in politics in my family.

Emma Bonino

Laws can embody standards; governments can enforce laws--but the final task is not a task for government. It is a task for each and every one of us. Every time we turn our heads the other way when we see the law flouted--when we tolerate what we know to be wrong--when we close our eyes and ears to the corrupt because we are too busy, or too frightened--when we fail to speak up and speak out--we strike a blow against freedom and decency and justice.

Robert Francis Kennedy

Whenever I hear you saying, rise and shine, rise and shine, it makes me think how lucky dead people are!

Orson Scott Card

Before breaking into music, I had various jobs: forklift driver, driving a courier. But I was forced into working rather than doing it off my own bat because that was my dad's way: you got a job and paid your way.

Gary Numan

And hence the poet must seek to be essentially anonymous,He must die a little death each morning,He must swallow his toad and study his vomitas Baudelaire studied la charogne of Jeanne Duval.

Delmore Schwartz

A great part of courage is the courage of having done the thing before.

Ralph Waldo Emerson

For God so loved the World that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life.

Jesus Christ

When we speak the word life, it must be understood we are not referring to life as we know it from its surface of fact, but to that fragile, fluctuating center which forms never reach.

Antonin Artaud

Mankind which began in a cave and behind a windbreak will end in the disease-soaked ruins of a slum.

H. G. [Herbert George] Wells

A strong, positive self-image is the best possible preparation for success.

Joyce Brothers
