The vigour of civilised societies is preserved by the widespread sense that high aims are worth while. Vigorous societies harbour a certain extravagance of objectives, so that men wander beyond the safe provision of personal gratifications. All strong interests easily become impersonal, the love of a good job well done. There is a sense of harmony about such an accomplishment, the Peace brought by something worth while. Such personal gratification arises from aim beyond personality.

In the democracy of the dead all men at last are equal. There is neither rank nor station nor prerogative in the republic of the grave.

John J. Ingalls

Die Welt ist voller Torheit, Dumpfheit, Inkonsequenz und Ungerechtigkeit. Es gehört viel Mut dazu, diesen nicht das Feld zu räumen.

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

You've got to be smart enough to write and stupid enough not to think about all the things that might go wrong.

Sarah Gilbert

Congress will pass a law restricting public comment on the Internet to individuals who have spent a minimum of one hour actually accomplishing a specific task while on line.

Andy Grove

Respect life, Revere life. There is nothing more holy than life, nothing more divine than life.

Osho

Do you really think it is weakness that yields to temptation? I tell you that there are terrible temptations which it requires strength, strength and courage to yield to.

Oscar Wilde

It's a terrific... you can't put it down. So I phoned him back and I said I'd love to do it. I went over to Paris for a meeting, and we just talked very generally about the approach.

Ronald Harwood

Remember we're all in this alone.

Lily Tomlin

If nothing else in life, I want to be true to the things I believe in, and quite simply, to what I'm all about. I know I'd better, because it seems whenever I take a false step or two I feel the consequences.

Peyton Manning

I think that we could be more careful about what we're saying to young women in terms of their expectations. It's unrealistic to expect people to always be in designer clothes. Girls growing up deserve more freedom in how they look and how they feel about how they look.

Emily Procter

A good wife is someone who thinks she has done everything right: raising the kids, being there for the husband, being home, trying to do it all.

Julianna Margulies

The natural progress of things is for liberty to yeild, and government to gain ground.

Thomas Jefferson
