True humility is intelligent self respect which keeps us from thinking too highly or too meanly of ourselves. It makes us modest by reminding us how far we have come short of what we can be.

I sometimes marvel at the extraordinary docility with which Americans submit to speeches.

Adlai Stevenson

First steps are always the hardest but until they are taken the notion of progress remains only a notion and not an achievement.

Aberjhani

It is not the situation that makes the man, but the man who makes the situation.

Frederick William Robertson

In the long run, we shape our lives, and we shape ourselves. The process never ends until we die. And the choices we make are ultimately our own responsibility.

Eleanor Roosevelt

I originated a remark many years ago that I think has been copied more than any little thing that Ive every said, and I used it in the FOLLIES of 1922. I said America has a unique record. We never lost a war and we never won a conference in our lives. I believe that we could without any degree of egotism, single-handed lick any nation in the world. But we cant confer with Costa Rica and come home with our shirts on.

Will Rogers

Art is the daughter of freedom.

Friedrich Schiller

If we want our children to value education, then we must show our appreciation for knowledge.

Brad Sherman

Human freedom involves our capacity to pause, to choose the one response toward which we wish to throw our weight.

Felix Adler

The web, then, or the pattern, a web at once sensuous and logical, an elegant and pregnant texture: that is style, that is the foundation of the art of literature.

Robert Louis Stevenson

A good manager doesn't try to eliminate conflict; he tries to keep it from wasting the energies of his people. If you're the boss and your people fight you openly when they think that you are wrong -- that's healthy.

Robert Townsend

Science fiction... means what we point to when we say it.

Damon Knight
