Why does truth carry such a dreadful face? Why does subjugation carry such a happy mask? It becomes sad when people understand that they can lead a better life as long as they bow their heads, ignoring the truth.

Man is a beautiful machine that works very badly.

H. L. Mencken

People involve themselves in countless activities which they consider to be important, but they forget about one activity which is more important and necessary than any other, and which includes all other things: the improvement of their soul.

Leo Tolstoy

Give me a fruitful error anytime, full of seeds, bursting with its own corrections.

Vilfredo Pareto

Tyler Posey

There is no real world, just the one you create.

Jolene Stockman

We can stand affliction better than we can prosperity, for in prosperity we forget God.

Dwight L. Moody

A mature person is one who does not think only in absolutes, who is able to be objective even when deeply stirred emotionally, who has learned that there is both good and bad in all people and in all things, and who walks humbly and deals charitably with the circumstances of life, knowing that in this world no one is all-knowing and therefore all of us need both love and charity.

Eleanor Roosevelt

New Year's Day. A fresh start. A new chapter in life waiting to be written. New questions to be asked, embraced, and loved. Answers to be discovered and then lived in this transformative year of delight and self-discovery. Today carve out a quiet interlude for yourself in which to dream, pen in hand. Only dreams give birth to change.

Sarah Ban Breathnach

Back a hundred years ago, especially around Woodrow Wilson, what happened in this country is we took freedom and we chopped it into pieces.

Ron Paul

The heart of Christianity is a myth which is also a fact. The old myth of the Dying God, without ceasing to be a myth, comes down from the heaven of legend and imagination to the earth of history.

C.S. Lewis

All sins have their origin in a sense of inferiority, otherwise called ambition.

Cesare Pavese

The wise boldly pick up a truth as soon as they hear it. Don't wait or a moment, or you'll lose your head.
