Thus, if there is anyone who is confident that he can advise me as to the best advantage of the state in this campaign which I am about to conduct, let him not refuse his services to the state, but come with me into Macedonia. I will furnish him with his sea-passage, with a horse, a tent, and even travel-funds. If anyone is reluctant to do this and prefers the leisure of the city to the hardships of campaigning, let him not steer the ship from on shore.

If we work upon marble, it will perish; if we work on brass, time will efface it. If we rear temples, they will crumble to dust. But if we work on mens immortal minds, if we impress on them high principles, the just fear of God, and love for their fellow-men, we engrave on those tablets something which no time can efface, and which will brighten and brighten to all eternity.

Daniel Webster

Unless children have strong education and strong families and strong communities and decent housing, it's not enough to go sit in at a lunch counter.

Marian Wright Edelman

The heroic books, even if printed in the character of our mother tongue, will always be in a language dead to degenerate times; and we must laboriously seek the meaning of each word and line, conjecturing a larger sense than common use permits out of what wisdom and valor and generosity we have.

Henry David Thoreau

I often have said that to be a college president, you need a thick skin, a good sense of humor, and nerves like sewer pipes.

Gordon Gee

Happiness is not something you postpone for the future it is something you design for the present.

Jim Rohn

Viewing the child solely as an immature person is a way of escaping comforting him.

Clark Moustakas

My mother was a public school teacher in Virginia, and we didn't have any money, we just survived on happiness, on being a happy family.

Dave Grohl

I'm so glad I never feel important, it does complicate life!

Eleanor Roosevelt

I have often said that I wish I had invented blue jeans: the most spectacular, the most practical, the most relaxed and nonchalant. They have expression, modesty, sex appeal, simplicity - all I hope for in my clothes.

Yves Saint Laurent

The guru, if he is gifted, reads the story as any bilingual person might. He does not translate-he understands.

Sheldon Kopp

I will not compare myself with others, nor them with me. I will appreciate myself and others for what I and they contribute.

Gail Blanke

That is one of the functions of art: to present what the narrow and desperately practical perspectives of real life exclude.

C.S. Lewis
