If truth is beauty, how come no one has their hair done in the library?

You need to have enough immediate profits that you can finance the long-range growth without diluting the stock.

I happen to dig being able to use whatever mystique I have to further the idea of peace.

Garrett Morris

The only chance for victory over the brainwash is the right of every man to have his ideas judged one at a time.

Kurt Vonnegut

Are you disappointed, discouraged and discontented with your present level of success? Are you secretly dissatisfied with your present status? Do you want to become a better and more beautiful person than you are today? Would you like to be able to really learn how to be proud of yourself and still not lose genuine humility? Then start dreaming! It?s possible! You can become the person you have always wanted to be!

None of us and none of the Arabs trust Israel.

Bashar al-Assad

Agnes Smedley

We do not believe any group of men adequate enough or wise enough to operate without scrutiny or without criticism.

J. Robert Oppenheimer

Imaginary evils soon become real one by indulging our reflections on them.

John Ruskin

Emotional intelligence begins to develop in the earliest years. All the small exchanges children have with their parents, teachers, and with each other carry emotional messages.
