A person who is keen to shake your hand usually has something up his sleeve.

We are the people our parents warned us about.

Jimmy Buffett

The universe is one of God's thoughts.

Friedrich von Schiller

'Fairness' is one of the great mantras of the left. Since everyone has his own definition of fairness, that word is a blank check for the expansion of government power. What fairness means in practice is that third parties -- busybodies -- can prevent mutual accommodations by others.

Thomas Sowell

I'm not afraid of chaos and I'm happy talking to strangers. I really love not knowing where I'm going.

Fiona Shaw

Always acknowledge a fault frankly. This will throw those in authority off their guard and give you opportunity to commit more.

Mark Twain

And we'll call you...hmmm. Pudge. Huh? Pudge, the Colonel said. Because you're skinny. It's called irony, Pudge. Heard of it? Now, let's go get some cigarettes and start this year off right.

John Green

I cannot and will not recant anything, for to go against conscience is neither right nor safe. Here I stand, I can do no other, so help me God. Amen.

What of us lies in the hearts of others is our truest and deepest self.

Johann Gottfried Von Herder

In imagination, there's no limitation.

Mark Victor Hansen

At this point in history, our society tends to elevate and reward the specialist...This concentrated focus has brought some benefits...It may also be a modern malady. Specialization, when taken too far and allowed to define who and what we are, becomes limiting. It robs us of our wholeness and our self-sufficiency. It misses the big picture and confines us to a narrow zoom. And it leaves us at the mercy of experts.

Keith Stewart

Sincerity and truth are the basis of every virtue.

Confucius
