Pointing is a metaphor we all know. We've done a lot of studies and tests on that, and it's much faster to do all kinds of functions, such as cutting and pasting, with a mouse, so it's not only easier to use but more efficient.

This extraordinary war in which we are engaged falls heavily upon all classes of people, but the most heavily upon the soldier. For it has been said, all that a man hath will he give for his life; and while all contribute of their substance the soldier puts his life at stake, and often yields it up in his countrys cause. The highest merit, then, is due to the soldier.

Abraham Lincoln

I suppose we all have our little hiding-hole if the truth was known, but as small as it is, the whole world is in it, and bit by bit grows on us again till the day You find us out.

Frank O'Connor

The dark shadow we seem to see in the distance is not really a mountain ahead, but the shadow of the mountain behind - a shadow from the past thrown forward into our future. It is a dark sludge of historical sectarianism. We can leave it behind us if we wish.

David Trimble

It isn't enough for your heart to break because everybody's heart is broken now.

Allen Ginsberg

I have discovered that when we least care to admit it, we feel more confused than thankful, more caught than called, more worried than gracious. In humble moments when we can no longer gloss over the roughness of life, gratitude has a way of pushing out the real soreness of feeling cheated or inadequate to the rugged realities of the world. Gratitude seemed to be a handy response to dodge the tough things for which there are no simple or comforting answers.

Patrick J. Malone, S.J., from Le

The face is the mirror of the mind, and eyes without speaking confess the secrets of the heart.

Saint Jerome

What's the use of a fine house if you haven't got a tolerable planet to put it on?

Henry David Thoreau

I admire people who are suited to the contemplative life. They can sit inside themselves like honey in a jar and just be. It's wonderful to have someone like that around, you always feel you can count on them. You can go away and come back, you can change your mind and your hairdo and your politics, and when you get through doing all these upsetting things, you look around and there they are, just the way they were, just being.

Elizabeth Janeway

Logic is the technique by which we add conviction to truth.

Jean de la Bruyere

The artist who is not also a craftsman is no good; but, alas, most of our artists are nothing else

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

What millions died that Caesar might be great?

Joseph Campell

True change takes place in the imagination.

Thomas Moore
