The scrupulous and the just, the noble, humane, and devoted natures; the unselfish and the intelligent may begin a movement -- but it passes away from them. They are not the leaders of a revolution. They are its victims.

Everything comes if a man will only wait.

Benjamin Disraeli, Tancred (bk.

If you can't convince them; confuse them.

Harry S Truman

Mitt Romney

Love is not a mere impulse, it must contain truth, which is law.

Rabindranath Tagore

Charles Dudley Warner

Almost everything that distinguishes the modern world from earlier centuries is attibutable to science, which achieved its most spectacular triumphs in the seventeenth century.

Bertrand Russell

One person who has mastered life is better than a thousand persons who have mastered only the contents of books, but no one can get anything out of life without God.

Meister Eckhart

Every form of addiction is bad, no matter whether the narcotic be alcohol or morphine or idealism.

Carl Gustav Jung

They don't like thinking in medical school. They memorize - that's all they want you to do. You must not think.

John Backus

Of all the major religions, or lack thereof, the atheist's is one of the best pretenders: his foundation for all existences, as well as moral behaviors for the permanent good of mankind, begins at science but ends at himself, the Napoleon complex of both intelligence and imagination. On the other hand the anti-theist wouldn't survive without a deity beyond himself to hunt. He doesn't pretend, he simply nullifies his own position.

Criss Jami

The English are a dumb people. They can do great acts, but not describe them.

Thomas Carlyle
