There are two fools in this world. One is the millionaire who thinks that by hoarding money he can somehow accumulate real power, and the other is the penniless reformer who thinks that if only he can take the money from one class and give it to another, all the world's ills will be cured.

Critics! Those cut-throat bandits in the paths of fame.

Robert Burns

The truth brings no man a fortune.

Jean Jacques Rousseau

Americans of all ages, all stations of life, and all types of disposition are forever forming associations... In democratic countries knowledge of how to combine is the mother of all other forms of knowledge; on its progress depends that of all the others.

Alexis de Tocqueville

Knowing that you are completely forgiven destroys the power of sin in your life.

Joseph Prince

I'm trying to die correctly, but it's very difficult, you know.

Lawrence Durrell

Normal people don't just wake up in the morning and say I think it'd be a good idea to run for president of the United States.

Jon Huntsman, Jr.

Bigotry tries to keep truth safe in its hand with a grip that kills it.

Rabindranath Tagore

Many are needed to plant and water what has been planted now that the faith has spread so far and there are so many people... No matter who plants or waters, God gives no harvest unless what is planted is the faith of Peter and unless he agrees to his teachings.

Thomas Becket

Then is it sin to rush into the secret house of death. Ere death dare come to us?

William Shakespeare

I am inclined to attach some importance to the new system of manufacturing and venture to throw it out with the hope of its receiving a full discussion among those who are most interestedin the subject.

Charles Babbage

I told my father to stop smoking around the age of two or three years old and he stopped smoking. So the relationship between the kid and the parent is very powerful, and if you give the kid the right information, it can be very useful to the family.

Doug E. Fresh

The worst lies are the lies we tell ourselves. We live in denial of what we do, even what we think. We do this because we're afraid. We fear we will not find love, and when we find it we fear we'll lose it. We fear that if we do not have love we will be unhappy.

Richard Bach
