We are students of words: we are shut up in schools, and colleges, and recitation -rooms, for ten or fifteen years, and come out at last with a bag of wind, a memory of words, and do not know a thing.

Facts, or what a man believes to be facts, are always delightful - Get your facts first, and - then you can distort 'em as much as you please

Mark Twain

Indolence is a delightful but distressing state, we must be doing something to be happy.

Mahatma Gandhi

One thing I never want to be accused of is not working.

Don Shula

To the rulers of the state then, if to any, it belongs of right to use falsehood, to deceive either enemies or their own citizens, for the good of the state: and no one else may meddle with this privilege

Plato

Peace cannot be kept by force. It can only be achieved by understanding. You cannot subjugate a nation forcibly unless you wipe out every man, woman, and child. Unless you wish to use such drastic measures, you must find a way of settling your disputes without resort to arms.

Albert Einstein

Women are incredible in groups together. Terrifying. Men have nothing on them.

Michael Hutchence

She is a peacock in everything but beauty!

Oscar Wilde

Wars of nations are fought to change maps. But wars of poverty are fought to map change.

Muhammad Ali

God made the world for the delight of human beings-- if we could see His goodness everywhere, His concern for us, His awareness of our needs: the phone call we've waited for, the ride we are offered, the letter in the mail, just the little things He does for us throughout the day. As we remember and notice His love for us, we just begin to fall in love with Him because He is so busy with us -- you just can't resist Him. I believe there's no such thing as luck in life, it's God's love, it's His.

Mother Teresa

A winner never whines.

Paul Brown

All...religions show the same disparity between belief and practice, and each is safe till it tries to exclude the rest. Test each sect by its best or its worst as you will, by its high-water mark of virtue or its low-water mark of vice. But falsehood begins when you measure the ebb of any other religion against the flood-tide of your own. There is a noble and a base side to every history.

Thomas Wentworth Higginson

History should be written as philosophy.

Voltaire
