This is the sum of all -- righteousness. In causing pleasure or in giving pain, in doing good or injury to others, a man obtains a proper rule of action by looking at his neighbor as himself.

In giving us children, God places us in a position of both leadership and service. He calls us to give up our lives for someone else's sake - to abandon our own desires and put our child's interests first. Yet, according to His perfect design, it is through this selflessness that we can become truly fulfilled.

Charles Stanley

Puny man can do nothing at all to help or please God Almighty, and Luck is not the hand of God.

Kurt Vonnegut

I can never bring you to realize the importance of sleeves, the suggestiveness of thumb-nails, or the great issues that may hang from a boot-lace.

Sir Arthur Conan Doyle

I was in the Commons recently and saw a young lady wearing a nice pair of shoes. I said I liked them and she said my shoes were the reason she became involved in politics.

Theresa May

Mark the babe not long accustomed to this breathing world; One that hath barely learned to shape a smile, though yet irrational of soul, to grasp with tiny finger -- to let fall a tear; And, as the heavy cloud of sleep dissolves, To stretch his limbs, becoming, as might seem. The outward functions of intelligent man.

William Wordsworth

Wars are not paid for in wartime, the bill comes later.

Benjamin Franklin

Biology gives you a brain. Life turns it into a mind.

Jeffrey Eugenides

Many people consider the things government does for them to be social progress, but they consider the things government does for others as socialism.

Earl Warren

While knowledge may provide useful point of reference, it cannot become a force to guide the future.

Herbie Hancock

There are nuclear weapons in China, Iran, Korea and Pakistan. It wouldn't take much to send a couple of warheads off on this planet somewhere that would cause a lot of environmental damage, then if you have got someone who wants to retaliate you have real problems.

Edward James Olmos

I have a respect for manners as such, they are a way of dealing with people you don't agree with or like.

Margaret Mead

You know, it's sort of common wisdom among New York publishers that short story collections don't make money.
