Rhetoric paints with a broad brush.

George Carlin

Daniel C. Dennett

Truth never was indebted to a lie.

Edward Young

Man flows at once to God when the channel of purity is open.

Henry David Thoreau

It is the characteristic excellence of the strong man that he can bring momentous issues to the fore and make a decision about them. The weak are always forced to decide between alternatives they have not chosen themselves.

Dietrich Bonhoeffer

Constantly stopping to explain oneself may expand into a frustrating burden for the rare individual, so ceasing to do so is like finally dropping the weights and sprinting towards his goals. Those who insincerely misunderstand, who intentionally distort the motives of a pure-intentioned individual, then, no longer have the opportunity to block his path; instead, they are the ones left to stand on the sidelines shouting frustratedly in the wind of his trail.

Criss Jami

Just as white light consists of colored rays, so reverence for life contains all the components of ethics: love, kindliness, sympathy, empathy, peacefulness and power to forgive.

Albert Schweitzer

I am a hopeless romantic. And I won't stop till I get it right.

Halle Berry

Tell the truth. Sing with passion. Work with laughter. Love with heart. 'Cause that's all that matters in the end.

Kris Kristofferson

Millions are idle, but it's comforting to know that most of them have jobs.

Source Unknown

Man, so far as natural science by itself is able to teach us, is no longer the final cause of the universe, the Heaven-descended heir of all the ages. His very existence is an accident, his story a brief and transitory episode in the life of one of the meanest of the planets.

Arthur Balfour, The Foundations

Women who seek to be equal with men lack ambition.

Timothy Leary
