Positive rights are the right to shelter, the right to education, the right to health care, the right to a living wage. These things are - these are, I would call them, more properly, political rights rather than positive rights. And they are extremely tricky, because now we are dealing with things that are zero sum.

Beneath the rule of men entirely great,The pen is mightier than the sword.

Edward George BulwerLytton, Rich

We say, sorrow, disaster, calamity. God says, chastening and it sounds sweet to him though it is a discord to our ears. Don't faint when you are rebuked, and don't despise the chastening of the Lord. In your patience possess your souls.

Oswald Chambers

One of the most important things one can do in life is to brutally question every single thing you are taught.

Bryant H. McGill

Prepare for death, if here at night you roam, and sign your will before you sup from home.

Samuel Johnson

A type of revolutionary novelty may be extremely beautiful in itself; but, for the creatures of habit that we are, its very novelty tends to make it illegible, at any rate to begin with.

Aldous Huxley

Rulers, who neither see, nor feel, nor know, but leech-like to their fainting country cling, till they drop, blind in blood, without a blow, -- a people starved and stabbed in the untilled field...

Percy Bysshe Shelley

You must become an old man in good time if you wish to be an old man long.

Marcus Tullius Cicero

Was it always in my nature to take a bad time and block out the good times, until any success becomes an accident and failure seemed the only truth?

Lillian Hellman

On the whole, lying is a cheerful affair. Embellishments are intended to give pleasure. People long to tell you what they imagine you want to hear. They want to amuse you; they want to amuse themselves; they want to show you a good time. This is beyond hospitality. This is art.

Isabel Fonseca

The development of physics, like the development of any science, is a continuous one.

Owen Chamberlain

Goals provide the energy source that powers our lives. One of the best ways we can get the most from the energy we have is to focus it. That is what goals can do for us; concentrate our energy.

Denis Waitley

Death is the tyrant of the imagination.
