Few things are more important to each individual's future success or to our nation's prosperity than education.

Credulity is belief in slight evidence, with no evidence, or against evidence.

Tryon Edwards

Once boys' and men's challenges are clear, the question 'why now' quickly becomes 'why didn't we see this sooner?' The answer? Virtually every society that survived did so by socializing its sons to be disposable.

Warren Farrell

Nothing lowers the level on conversation more than raising the voice.

Stanley Horowitz

The appropriate age for marriage is around eighteen for girls and thirty-seven for men.

Aristotle

If I choose to bless another person, I will always end up feeling more blessed.

Marianne Williamson

Violent, irrational, intolerant, allied to racism and tribalism and bigotry, invested in ignorance and hostile to free inquiry, contemptuous of women and coercive toward children: organized religion ought to have a great deal on its conscience.

Christopher Hitchens

Good breeding, a union of kindness and independence.

Ralph Waldo Emerson

In all Thénardier's outpourings, the words and gestures, the fury blazing in his eyes, this explosion of an evil nature brazenly exposed, the mixture of bravado and abjectness, arrogance, pettiness, rage, absurdity; the hodgepodge of genuine distress, and lying sentiment, the shamelessness of a vicious man rejoicing in viciousness, the bare crudity of an ugly soul -- in this eruption of all suffering and hatred there was something which was hideous as evil itself and still as poignant as truth.

Victor Hugo

One of the greatest gifts That life can give to anyoneIs the very special love that families share...As years go by,It's good to know that there will always beCertain people in our lives who care.For there are countless thingsThat only families have in commonAnd memories that no one else can make...And these precious ties that bind a family togetherAre bonds that time and distance cannot break.How fortunate we areWhen we have relatives to love us,It makes the world a happy place to be...Few gifts in lifeWill last as longOr touch the heart as deeplyAs the very special giftOf family.

Craig S. Tunks

Personally, I hold that a man, who deliberately and intelligently takes a pledge and then breaks it, forfeits his manhood.

Mahatma Gandhi

Life is never fair, and perhaps it is a good thing for most of us that it is not.

Oscar Wilde

I feel that you are justified in looking into the future with true assurance, because you have a mode of living in which we find the joy of life and the joy of work harmoniously combined. Added to this is the spirit of ambition which pervades your very being, and seems to make the day's work like a happy child at play. (referring to America)

Albert Einstein
