A person's worth is contingent upon who he is, not upon what he does, or how much he has. The worth of a person, or a thing, or an idea, is in being, not in doing, not in having.

Truthful words are not beautiful; beautiful words are not truthful. Good words are not persuasive; persuasive words are not good.

David Hume

As human beings, we need to know that we are not alone, that we are not crazy or completely out of our minds, that there are other people out there who feel as we do, live as we do, love as we do, who are like us.

Billy Joel

Michelle Forbes

It is a grave matter to enter a war, without adequate military preparation it may prove fatal to come into peace, without moral and religious preparation.

Louis Finkelstein

Smile in the mirror. Do that every morning and you'll start to see a big difference in your life.

Yoko Ono

Unjust laws exist: shall we be content to obey them, or shall we endeavor to amend them, and obey them until we have succeeded, or shall we transgress them at once?

Henry David Thoreau
