To rescue from oblivion even a fragment of a language which men have used and which is in danger of being lost --that is to say, one of the elements, whether good or bad, which have shaped and complicated civilization --is to extend the scope of social observation and to serve civilization.

The architecture of our future is not only unfinished the scaffolding has hardly gone up.

George Lamming

The great problem of legislation is, so to organize the civil government of a community... that in the operation of human institutions upon social action, self-love and social may be made the same.

John Quincy Adams

He kills her in her own humor.

William Shakespeare

We all fall sometime but it's those that get back up and try again that make the difference.

Gary Revel

Luke moved as silently as fog, while Maryse's heels sounded like gunshots on the marble floor. Clary wondered if Isabelle's propensity for unsuitable footwear was genetic.

Cassandra Clare

Fantasy is a necessary ingredient in living, it

Dr. Seuss (Theodor Seuss Geisel)

Having a clear faith, based on the creed of the church is often labeled today as fundamentalism. Whereas relativism, which is letting oneself be tossed and swept along by every wind of teaching, look like the only attitude acceptable to today's standards.

Joseph Ratzinger

Being famous gets me good concert tickets, good tables in restaurants, good seats at sporting events and that's really about it.

Fran Drescher

A glorious Church is like a magnificent feast; there is all the variety that may be, but every one chooses out a dish or two that he likes, and lets the rest alone: how glorious soever the Church is, every one chooses out of it his own religion, by which he governs himself, and lets the rest alone.

John Selden

[God] will not be used as a convenience. Men or nations who think they can revive the Faith in order to make a good society might just as well think they can use the stairs of heaven as a shortcut to the nearest chemist's shop.

C.S. Lewis

Every spoken word arouses our self-will.

Johann von Goethe

Just as certain selections of music will nourish your physical body and your emotional layer, so other musical works will bring greater health to your mind.
