The production of too many useful things results in too many useless people.

Karl Marx

Books have a way of finding their way into our lives, usually, right when we need them the most.

Richard Denney

I will listen to anyone's convictions, but pray keep your doubts to yourself.

Johann von Goethe

Doctrines provide an architecture for both Republican and Democrat presidents to carry out policies.

Malcolm Wallop

A mistake made by many people with great convictions is that they will let nothing stand in the way of their views, not even kindness.

Bryant H. McGill

Old age, believe me, is a good and pleasant thing. It is true you are gently shouldered off the stage, but then you are given such a comfortable front stall as spectator.

Confucius

Charles Simmons

Love is an emotion experienced by the many and enjoyed by the few.
