The state exists for man, not man for the state. The same may be said of science. These are old phrases, coined by people who saw in human individuality the highest human value. I would hesitate to repeat them, were it not for the ever recurring danger that they may be forgotten, especially in these days of organization and stereotypes.

Be slow to resolve, but quick in performance.

John Dryden

I was class mom at the preschool one year and I was pretty much asked not to do that again!

Julie Bowen

It's okay if you want to go. Everyone wants you to stay. I want you to stay more than I've ever wanted anything in my life. But that's what I want and I could see why it might not be what you want. So I just wanted to tell you that I understand if you go. It's okay if you have to leave us. It's okay if you want to stop fighting.

Gayle Forman

All philosophies, if you ride them home, are nonsense, but some are greater nonsense than others.

Samuel Butler

The enemies of the future are always the very nicest people.

Christopher Morley

The name of a man is a numbing blow from which he never recovers.

Marshall McLuhan

Protect your enthusiasm from the negativity of others.

H. Jackson Brown, Jr.

God forbid you be an ugly girl, 'course too pretty is also your doom, 'cause everyone harbors a secret hatred for the prettiest girl in the room.

Ani DiFranco

Know you what it is to be a child? It is to be something very different from the man of to-day. It is to have a spirit yet streaming from the waters of baptism; it is to believe in love, to believe in loveliness, to believe in belief; it is to be so little that the elves can reach to whisper in your ear; it is to turn pumpkins into coaches, and mice into horses, lowness into loftiness, and nothing into everything, for each child has its fairy godmother in its own soul; it is to live in a nutshell and to count yourself the king of infinite space; it isTo see a world in a grain of sand,And a Heaven in a wild flower,Hold infinity in the palm of your hand,And eternity in an hour;it is to know not as yet that you are under sentence of life, nor petition that it be commuted into death.

Francis Thompson

Though I love the luxury of the Waldorf Towers, room service there doesn't do soul food.

Sammy Davis, Jr.

If a great thing can be done, it can be done easily, but this ease is like the ease of a tree blossoming after long years of gathering strength.

John Ruskin

Self-love, my liege, is not so vile a sin, as self-neglecting.

William Shakespeare
