Olive Schreiner

There is something terribly wrong with a culture inebriated by noise and gregariousness.

George Steiner

All persons ought to endeavor to follow what is right, and not what is established.

Aristotle

Today as in the time of Pliny and Columella, the hyacinth flourishes in Wales, the periwinkle in Illyria, the daisy on the ruins of Numantia; while around them cities have changed their masters and their names, collided and smashed, disappeared into nothingness, their peaceful generations have crossed down the ages as fresh and smiling as on the days of battle.

Edgar Quinet

Rumor grows as it goes.

Virgil

I was gone so much in my first marriage. I love the moments when I engage with my youngest daughter now. It's not my thing to sit on the ground and play tea party, but I'll do it because it's a moment that will stick with me forever.

Tim Allen

Samuel Johnson

The beauty of the human mind is that any decision that is made can be unmade.

Gay Hendricks

When you rise in the morning, give thanks for the light, for your life, for your strength. Give thanks for your food and for the joy of living. If you see no reason to give thanks, the fault lies in yourself.

Tecumseh
