Service a smile. ? It is an acknowledging wave, a reaching handshake, a friendly wink, and a warm hug. ? It's these simple acts that matter most, because the greatest service to a human soul has always been the kindness of recognition.

Life is real! Life is earnest! And death is not its goal. Dust thou art, to dust returneth, was not spoken of the soul.

Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

The independence of the economic sphere was a tenet of faith with Liberalism.

Francis Parker Yockey

Reading, solitude, idleness, a soft and sedentary life, intercourse with women and young people, these are perilous paths for a young man, and these lead him constantly into danger.

Jean Jacques Rousseau

Since the tragedies, the Department of Homeland Security was established to prevent terrorist attacks within the United States, and most importantly, to share intelligence information among government agencies and departments.

Randy Forbes

One is seduced and battered in turn. The result is presumably wisdom. Wisdom! We are clinging to life like lizards.Why is it so difficult to assemble those things that really matter in life and to dwell among them only? I am referring to certain landscapes, persons, beasts, books, rooms, meteorological conditions, fruits. In fact, I insist on it.A letter is like a poem, it leaps into life and shows very clearly the marks, perhaps I should say thumbprints, of an unwilling or unready composer.

James Salter

The hours of folly are measured by the clock, but of wisdom no clock can measure.

William Blake

Slogans which deafened us so that we could not hear the truth.

Ernst Toller

Deliberate with caution, but act with decision; and yield with graciousness or oppose with firmness.

Charles Caleb Colton

'Tis not to see the worldAs from a height, with rapt prophetic eyes,And heart profoundly stirred;And weep, and feel the fullness of the past,The years that are not more.

Matthew Arnold, Growing Old

With well doing you may put to silence foolish men.

Bible

Newspapers always excite curiosity. No one ever lays one down without a feeling of disappointment.

Charles Lamb, Last Essays of Eli

I don't mean to be arrogant and I really appreciate my fans but talking about what I am doing is not something I'm good at. I do what I do and that's it. I want to get back to my work and do more of it instead of talking about it.

Henry Rollins
