Not when truth is dirty, but when it is shallow, does the enlightened man dislike to wade into its waters.

The idea that nations should love one another, or that business concerns or marketing boards should love one another, or that a man in Portugal should love a man in Peru of whom he has never heard --it is absurd, unreal, dangerous. The fact is we can only love what we know personally. And we cannot know much.

E. M. Forster

Now our whole activity is devoted to God, and our whole life, since we are bent on progress in divine things.

Origen

Yet in this global economy, no jobs are safe. High-speed Internet connections and low-cost, skilled labor overseas are an explosive combination.

Bob Taft

I'm an activist for gay marriage equality and children's rights. I'm the face of Share Our Strength.

Sandra Lee

War consisteth not in battle only, or the act of fighting but in a tract of time, wherein the will to contend by battle is sufficiently known.

Thomas Hobbes

Defense is a definite part of the game, and a great part of defense is learning to play it without fouling.

John Wooden

Every failure is a step to success.

William Whewell

I am neither frustrated nor planning anything other than being the best Secretary of State I could be.

Hillary Clinton

Pessimism is only the name that men of weak nerves give to wisdom.

Bernard De Voto

I'm fulfilled in what I do. I never thought that a lot of money or fine clothes - the finer things of life - would make you happy. My concept of happiness is to be filled in a spiritual sense.

Coretta Scott King

This language controls by reducing the linguistic forms and symbols of reflection, abstraction, development, contradiction; by substituting images for concepts. It denies or absorbs the transcendent vocabulary; it does not search for but establishes and imposes truth and falsehood.

Herbert Marcuse

Music exalts each joy, allays each grief, expels diseases, softens every pain, subdues the rage of poison, and the plague.

John Armstrong
