Some of the politicians in this country, in their feverish search for group acceptance, are ready to endorse tumultuous confrontation as a substitute for debate, and the most illogical and unfitting extensions of the Bill of Rights as protections for psychotic and criminal elements in our society. We have seen all too clearly that there are mennow in power in this countrywho do not represent authority, who cannot cope with tradition, and who believe that the people of America are ready to support revolution as long as it is done with a cultured voice and a handsome profile.

Mankind differs from the animals only by a little and most people throw that away.

Confucius

What I focus on in life is what I get. And if I concentrate on how bad I am or how wrong I am or how inadequate I am, if I concentrate on what I can't do and how there's not enough time in which to do it, isn't that what I get every time? And when I think about how powerful I am, and when I think about what I have left to contribute, and when I think about the difference I can make on this planet, then that's what I get. You see, I recognize that it's not what happens to you; it's what you do about it.

W. Mitchell

Everybody has a weakness. Mine is food.

Salma Hayek

It will, I believe, be everywhere found, that as the clergy are, or are not what they ought to be, so are the rest of the nation.

Jane Austen

We see tremendous excitement from small-business people about the administration and about the attention and commitment that the president has to do things that really make a difference. I think they recognize that health care is one of those. I think they recognize that what we've been doing in the Recovery Act with our loan programs has mattered.

Karen Mills

I am always a beginner. I only try to include different parts of life; the pastoral, the tragic, et cetera.

Ian Hamilton Finlay

The rod and reproof give wisdom: but a child left to himself bringeth his mother to shame. Proverbs 29:15

Bible

I suppose that is my central obsession. What we owe to society, what we owe to ourselves.

Barbara Kingsolver

Thou seest I have more flesh than another man, and therefore more frailty.

William Shakespeare

And like a colorful bloom of temporary lights in the sky, you will shine.

Chad Sugg

In my private life, I'm not around any drugs or alcohol.
