To be outspoken is easy when you do not wait to speak the complete truth.

Rabindranath Tagore

It's not that our family has no taste, it's just that our family's taste is inconsistent.

Dave Eggers

I more fear what is within me than what comes from without.

Martin Luther

Ridicule is the language of the devil

Thomas Carlyle

GOD, give us men! A time like this demands Strong minds, great hearts, true faith and ready hands; Men whom the lust of office does not kill; Men whom the spoils of office can not buy; Men who possess opinions and a will; Men who have honor; men who will not lie; Men who can stand before a demagogue And damn his treacherous flatteries without winking! Tall men, sun-crowned, who live above the fog In public duty, and in private thinking; For while the rabble, with their thumb-worn creeds, Their large professions and their little deeds, Mingle in selfish strife, lo! Freedom weeps, Wrong rules the land and waiting Justice sleeps.

Josiah Gilbert Holland

The glory of a workman, still more of a master-workman, that he does his work well, ought to be his most precious possession; like the honor of a soldier, dearer to him than life

Thomas Carlyle

Living is Easy with Eyes Closed.

John Lennon

When a noble life has prepared old age, it is not decline that it reveals, but the first days of immortality.

Muriel Spark

When you have a good mother and no father, God kind of sits in. It's not enough, but it helps.

Dick Gregory

My mum is a school teacher and my dad is an electrician.

Jai Courtney

It couldn't sound like a dog, because K9 isn't a dog, but I made it sound as mechanical as possible.

John Leeson
