Something is wanting, and something must be done, or we shall be involved in all the horror of failure, and civil war without a prospect of its termination.

When strength is yoked with justice, where is a mightier pair than they?

Aeschylus

Dare to be honest and fear no labor.

Robert Burns

It is impossible to give a clear account of the world, but art can teach us to reproduce it --just as the world reproduces itself in the course of its eternal gyrations. The primordial sea indefatigably repeats the same words and casts up the same astonished beings on the same sea-shore.

Albert Camus

He who has never learned to obey cannot be a good commander.

Aristotle

Our thoughts create our world.

Stephen Richards

What ever truth drops on it eventually grinds to a powder.

Art Blakey

You can't stand for too many things. You can't use the bully pulpit for too many things. So, I promise you, every day, I am going to talk about jobs, spending, and education.

Meg Whitman

There are only two things a child will share willingly; communicable diseases and its mother's age.

Benjamin Spock

The individual woman is required a thousand times a day to choose either to accept her appointed role and thereby rescue her good disposition out of the wreckage of her self-respect, or else follow an independent line of behavior and rescue her self-respect out of the wreckage of her good disposition.

Jeannette Rankin

The past always seems somehow more golden, more serious, than the present. We tend to forget the partisanship of yesteryear, preferring to re-imagine our history as a sure and steady march toward greatness.

Jon Meacham

I do not pretend to know where many ignorant men are sure -- that is all that agnosticism means.

Clarence Darrow

A garden is a complex of aesthetic and plastic intentions and the plant is, to a landscape artist, not only a plant - rare, unusual, ordinary or doomed to disappearance - but it is also a color, a shape, a volume or an arabesque in itself.

Roberto Burle Marx
