The Sandinista government became consumed with fighting a war of survival. They were up against the biggest superpower in the world.

The apparent multiplication of gods is bewildering at the first glance, but you soon discover that they are the same GOD. There is always one uttermost God who defies personification. This makes Hinduism the most tolerant religion in the world, because its one transcendent God includes all possible gods. In fact Hinduism is so elastic and so subtle that the most profound Methodist, and crudest idolater, are equally at home with it.

George Bernard Shaw

It is part of my faith as a Muslim to try to help those who are suffering from poverty or economic or political injustice.

Cat Stevens

My father must have had some elementary education for he could read and write and keep accounts inaccurately

George Bernard Shaw

Would that I were a dry well, and that the people tossed stones into me, for that would be easier than to be a spring of flowing water that the thirsty pass by, and from which they avoid drinking.

Kahlil Gibran, "My Soul Is Heavy

Does not science prove that there is no Creator?

Paul Moody

Not to sound overly cheesy but I really appreciate the freedom we have in America - especially as a female.

Katy Perry

Gratitude is merely the secret hope of further favors.

Francois de La Rochefoucauld

I spent many a summer early morning with the radio very low, half sleeping and half listening.

Frankie Valli

Most people aren't appreciated enough, and the bravest things we do in our lives are usually known only to ourselves. No one throws ticker tape on the man who chose to be faithful to his wife, on the lawyer who didn't take the drug money, or the daughter who held her tongue again and again. All this anonymous heroism.

Peggy Noonan

Who knows better than artists how much ugliness there is on the way to beauty, how many ghastly, mortifying missteps, how many days of granitic blockheadedness and dismaying ineptitude there is on the way to accomplishment, how partial all accomplishment is, how incomplete?

Tony Kushner

Keep yourself clean and bright. You are the windows through which you must view the world.

A professional soldier understands that war means killing people, war means maiming people, war means families left without fathers and mothers. All you have to do is hold your first dying soldier in your arms, and have that terribly futile feeling that his life is flowing out and you can't do anything about it. Then you understand the horror of war. Any soldier worth his salt should be antiwar. And still, there are things worth fighting for.
