Taxing is an easy business. Any projector can contrive new compositions, any bungler can add to the old.

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.

Albert Einstein

The land is ours. It's not European and we have taken it, we have given it to the rightful people... Those of white extraction who happen to be in the country and are farming are welcome to do so, but they must do so on the basis of equality.

Robert Mugabe

In order to live in the present, we have to learn how to feel safe even when a situation feels threatening to us.

John Kuypers

I have gained this by philosophy: that I do without being commanded what others do only from fear of the law.

Aristotle

I didn't think marriage worked. I thought everybody who was married was secretly miserable - that it was something they just put up with for their children.

Salma Hayek

We are educated in the grossest ignorance, and no art omitted to stifle our natural reason; if some few get above their nurses instructions, our knowledge must rest concealed and be as useless to the world as gold in the mine.

Mary Wortley Montagu

A man who leaves home to mend himself and others is a philosopher but he who goes from country to country, guided by the blind impulse of curiosity, is a vagabond.

Oliver Goldsmith

A truth that disheartens because it is true is of more value than the most stimulating of falsehoods.

Maurice Maeterlinck

Truth stood on one side and Ease on the other; it has often been so.

Theodore Parker

You can lose a game but, I see guys every week including myself, you lose a game, it's a tough loss, you're down, two weeks later you forgot about it. You know it's amazing how down you were, but all of the sudden you're like it never happened.

Brett Favre

Latter-day scepticism is fond of calling itself progressive; but scepticism is really reactionary. Scepticism goes back; it attempts to unsettle what has already been settled. Instead of trying to break up new fields with its plough, it simply tries to break up the plough.

G.K. Chesterton

One column of truth cannot hold an institution of ideas from falling into ignorance. It is wiser that a person of prudence and purpose save his strength for battles that can be won.
