And so to those who suggest that we are somehow 'harming' young women by encouraging them to take charge of their health we say this: We are not harming young women by educating them. We are arming them with information that they will carry with them throughout their lives.

Order is Heaven's first law; and this confessed, some are, and must be, greater than the rest, more rich, more wise; but who infers from hence that such are happier, shocks all common sense. Condition, circumstance, is not the thing; bliss is the same in subject or in king.

Alexander Pope

Am I motivated by what I really want out of life -- or am I mass-motivated?

Earl Nightingale

The wise know too well their weakness to assume infallibility; and he who knows most, knows best how little he knows

Thomas Jefferson

If I were an Englishman, I should esteem the man who advised a war with China to be the greatest living enemy of my country. You would be beaten in the end, and perhaps a revolution in India would follow.

Napoleon

Our life would become wonderful if we could see all the disgusting things which exist in it.

Leo Tolstoy

Half this game is 90% mental.

Danny Ozark

I am aware that a philosopher's ideas are not subject to the judgment of ordinary persons, because it is his endeavour to seek the truth in all things, to the extent permitted to human reason by God.

Nicolaus Copernicus

Ambition is the immoderate desire for power.

Baruch Spinoza

- Never use a metaphor, simile, or other figure of speech which you are used to seeing in print.- Never use a long word where a short one will do.- If it is possible to cut a word out, always cut it out.- Never use the passive where you can use the active.- Never use a foreign phrase, a scientific word, or a jargon word if you can think of an everyday English equivalent.- Break any of these rules sooner than say anything outright barbarous.

George Orwell

Is it not passing brave to be a King and ride in triumph through Persepolis?

Christopher Marlowe

Sports and entertainment have always been windows of opportunity for African Americans, when other doors were closed.

Lynn Swann

I shall go the way of the open sea, to the lands I knew before you came, and the cool ocean breezes shall blow from me the memory of your name.
