Premature development of the powers of both mind and body leads to an early grave.

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.

Call for the grandest of all earthly spectacles, what is that? It is the sun going to his rest.

Thomas De Quincey

On the Disc the gods dealt severely with atheists.

Terry Pratchett

But how is...legal plunder to be identified? Quite simply. See if the law takes from some persons what belongs to them, and gives it to other persons to whom it does not belong. See if the law benefits one citizen at the expense of another by doing what the citizen himself cannot do without committing a crime. Then abolish this law without delay, for it is not only an evil itself, but also it is a fertile source for further evils because it invites reprisals.

Beauty, whether moral or natural, is felt, more properly than perceived.

David Hume

Our national media refuses to report that even the Supreme Court did not say marriage was a human right in all cases nor did it say that the heterosexual definition violated anyone's right or that the heterosexual definition of marriage was unconstitutional.

Maybe a person's time would be as well spent raising food as raising money to buy food.

Frank A. Clark

Whenever I have friends over, we end up eating and talking and losing track of time, and, once in a while, singing karaoke. It reminds me of the family meals we had in Russia, which always lasted a very long time. That's a tradition I miss.

Maria Sharapova

He that desireth to acquire any art or science seeketh first those means by which that art or science is obtained. If we ought to do so in things natural and earthly, how much more then in spiritual?

Robert Barclay

I think a lot of people have lost respect for the individual, you know, the individual, the person who doesn't conform.

Erykah Badu

At death we cross from one territory to another, but we'll have no trouble with visas. Our representative is already there, preparing for our arrival. As citizens of heaven, our entrance is incontestable.

Erwin W. Lutzer

The world must be made safe for democracy.
