W. Somerset Maugham

If a fish is the movement of water embodied, given shape, then cat is a diagram and pattern of subtle air.

Doris Lessing

We steal if we touch tomorrow. It is God's.

Henry Ward Beecher

Tavis Smiley

For trust not him that hath once broken faith

William Shakespeare

The love of liberty is the love of others the love of power is the love of ourselves.

William Hazlitt

Nothing is more sad than the death of an illusion.

A man devoid of hope and conscious of being so has ceased to belong to the future.

Albert Camus

Private opinion is weak, but public opinion is almost omnipotent.

Henry Ward Beecher
