Unjust laws exist; shall we be content to obey them, or shall we endeavor to amend them, and obey them until we have succeeded, or shall we transgress them at once? Men generally, under such a government as this, think that they ought to wait until they have persuaded the majority to alter them. They think that, if they should resist, the remedy would be worse than the evil. But it is the fault of the government itself that the remedy is worse than the evil. It makes it worse. Why is it not more apt to anticipate and provide for reform? Why does it not cherish its wise minority? Why does it cry and resist before it is hurt? Why does it not encourage its citizens to be on the alert to point out its faults, and do better than it would have them?

Intuition and concepts constitute... the elements of all our knowledge, so that neither concepts without an intuition in some way corresponding to them, nor intuition without concepts, can yield knowledge.

Immanuel Kant

I just want to say, that if Jesus were alive, what would he be doing? Well, he would probably be accepting and loving people how they're made. And I always say this and it's really the truth. If being 4'11 was a sin, what would I do? Well, I could wear heels and I could add a wig.

Kristin Chenoweth

We need first of all the reform of our justice system. We need reform of the education system, because of quality of education because of innovation and technology. And we need administrative reform. Too much bureaucracy.

Thomas Fuller

Content makes poor men rich discontent makes rich men poor.

Benjamin Franklin

The easy confidence with which I know another man's religion is folly teaches me to suspect that my own is also.

Mark Twain

Remembrance of things past.

William Shakespeare

Civilization...is a matter of imponderables, of delight in the thins of the mind, of love of beauty, of honor, grace, courtesy, delicate feeling. Where imponderables, are things of first importance, there is the height of civilization, and, if at the same time, the power of art exists unimpaired, human life has reached a level seldom attained and very seldom surpassed.

Edith Hamilton

Women need real moments of solitude and self-reflection to balance out how much of ourselves we give away.

Barbara de Angelis

You cannot dream yourself into a character; you must hammer and forge yourself one.

James Anthony Froude

The greatness of a nation can be judged by the way its animals are treated.

Mahatma Gandhi

Sorry, my mind was wandering. One time my mind went all the wayto Venus on mail order and I couldn't pay for it.

Steven Wright
