Schönheit ist Ewigkeit, die sich in einem Spiegel anschaut. - Aber ihr seid die Ewigkeit, und ihr seid der Spiegel.

Family likeness has often a deep sadness in it. Nature, that great tragic dramatist, knits us together by bone and muscle, and divides us by the subtler web of our brains; blends yearning and repulsion; and ties us by our heart-strings to the beings that jar us at every movement.

George Eliot

We need somebody who's got the heart, the empathy, to recognize what it's like to be a young teenage mom, the empathy to understand what it's like to be poor or African-American or gay or disabled or old - and that's the criterion by which I'll be selecting my judges.

Barack Obama

Some men see things as they are and say why ... I dream things that never were and say why not.

George Bernard Shaw

Janis Joplin

The educator must above all understand how to wait; to reckon all effects in the light of the future, not of the present.

Ellen Key

As soon go kindle fire with snow, as seek to quench the fire of love with words.

William Shakespeare

I do not know with what weapons World War 3 will be fought, but World War 4 will be fought with sticks and stones.

Albert Einstein

The Constitution preserves the advantage of being armed which Americans possess over the people of almost every other nation where the governments are afraid to trust the people with arms.

James Madison

Power may be at the end of a gun, but sometimes it's also at the end of the shadow or the image of a gun.

Jean Genet

Even rabbits insult an dead lion.

Proverb

Conform and be dull.

J. Frank Doble

Freeing hostages is like putting up a stage set, which you do with the captors, agreeing on each piece as you slowly put it together; then you leave an exit through which both the captor and the captive can walk with sincerity and dignity.

Terry Waite
