A thought is an arrow shot at the truth; it can hit a point, but not cover the whole target. But the archer is too well satisfied with his success to ask anything farther.

Too many have dispensed with generosity in order to practice charity.

Albert Camus

Loved once for ever loved: how surely sounds This gospel to me since I learned to list Truth from thy lips, mine own evangelist. What thought presumes to set now any bounds To Love whose being informs us and surrounds?

John Barlas

My dream is of a place and a time where America will once again be seen as the last best hope of earth.

Abraham Lincoln

What does education often do? It makes a straight cut ditch of a free, meandering brook.

Henry David Thoreau

Life is about the people we meet, and the experiences we have along the way.

Joanne Clancy

Habit, if not resisted, soon becomes necessity.

Saint Augustine of Hippo

What sets science and the law apart from religion is that nothing is expected to be taken on faith. We're encouraged to ask whether the evidence actually supports what we're being told - or what we grew up believing - and we're allowed to ask whether we're hearing all the evidence or just some small prejudicial part of it. If our beliefs aren't supported by the evidence, then we're encouraged to alter our beliefs.

Gary Taubes

Truth is truth howe'er it strike.

ROBERT BROWNING: _La Saisiaz,_ L

Whether it's possible or not, being a doctor, you take an oath. To care for your patient, not to kill them. You take an oath to do things that are proper in the medical world. Not to administer something outside of a hospital setting that's not even your area.

Jermaine Jackson

Belief sloshes around in the firmament like lumps of clay spiralling into a potter's wheel. That's how gods get created, for example. They clearly must be created by their own believers, because a brief resume of the lives of most gods suggests that their origins certainly couldn't be divine. They tend to do exactly the things people would do if only they could, especially when it comes to nymphs, golden showers, and the smiting of your enemies.

Terry Pratchett

The hierarchy of class in London was rigid. It was like a religion. It still is to a certain extent.

Ben Kingsley

We feel good about ourselves to the exact degree we feel in control of our lives.

Brian Tracy
