There is no virtue so truly great and godlike as Justice. Most of the other virtues are the virtues of created Beings, or accommodated to our nature as we are men. Justice is that which is practised by God himself, and to be practised in its perfection by none but him. Omniscience and Omnipotence are requisite for the full exertion of it. The one, to discover every degree of uprightness or iniquity in thoughts, words and actions. The other, to measure out and impart suitable rewards and punishments.As to be perfectly just is an attribute in the divine nature, to be so to the utmost of our abilities is the glory of a man. Such an one who has the publick administration in his hands, acts like the representative of his Maker, in recompencing the virtuous, and punishing the offender.

A bold architectural statement turns a public building into a landmark, but it is in the details where the architect becomes the real storyteller.

Curtis W. Fentress

Why should sports men and women get punished harsher than people in the normal world?

David Millar

Cold hopes swarm like worms within our living clay.

Percy Bysshe Shelley

A broad margin of leisure is as beautiful in a man's life as in a book. Haste makes waste, no less in life than in housekeeping. Keep the time, observe the hours of the universe, not of the cars.

Henry David Thoreau

If we lose freedom here, there is no place to escape to. This is the last stand on earth.

Ronald Reagan

The right name is an advertisement in itself.

Claude Hopkins

There is nothing sweeter than to be sympathized with.

George Santayana

I think what I love most about writing is that feeling that you really nailed something. I rarely feel it with a whole piece, but sometimes with a line you feel that it really captured what it is that you had inside you and you got it out for a stranger to read, someone who may never love you or meet you, but he or she is going to get that experience from that line.

Andre Dubus

I walked to Seward School first through fourth grade. It's just amazing to me now that we'd walk down 10th Avenue on Capitol Hill.

Stone Gossard

I was so self-critical. I still am; but it's not as bad anymore.

Fiona Apple

Be careful the environment you choose for it will shape you; be careful the friends you choose for you will become like them.

W. Clement Stone

There are things to confess that enrich the world, and things that need not be said.

Joni Mitchell
