Surely a long life must be somewhat tedious, since we are forced to call in so many trifling things to help rid us of our time, which will never return.

The most urgent necessity in human life is to be able to face life victoriously. For many are living mentally, physically, morally and spiritually defeated.

F. A. Wickett

I think there ought to be a strict separation or wall built between our religious faith and our practice of political authority in office. I don't think the President of the United States should extoll Christianity if he happens to be a Christian at the expense of Judaism, Islam or other faiths.

Jimmy Carter

I hope the dogs don't bark tonight. I always think it's mine

Albert Camus

I have no further use for America. I wouldn't go back there if Jesus Christ was President.

Charlie Chaplin

Depression is when you have lots of love, but no one's taking.

Doug Coupland

I think one of the greatest enemies in the use of technology, however, is the idea that if you use the technology you have to throw other things out of the window.

John Eaton

I don't want to tell President Obama how to make a speech. He's a much better speech maker than I am. But I think always to tell the truth in a sometimes blatant way, even though it might be temporarily unpopular, is the best approach.

Jimmy Carter

However sugarcoated and ambiguous, every form of authoritarianism must start with a belief in some group's greater right to power, whether that right is justified by sex, race, class, religion or all four. However far it may expand, the progression inevitably rests on unequal power and airtight roles within the family.

Gloria Steinem

Verses which do not teach men new and moving truths do not deserve to be read.

Voltaire

We have grown used to money. The handling, the increase of it, is the chief business of life now with most of us.

Rebecca Harding Davis

A teacher who can arouse a feeling for one single good action, for one single good poem, accomplishes more than he who fills our memory with rows on rows of natural objects, classified with name and form.

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

Do not hire a man who does your work for money, but him who does it for love of it.

Henry David Thoreau
