Vote: The only commodity that is peddleable without a license

My hope is that we continue to nurture the places that we love, but that we also look outside our immediate worlds.

Annie Leibovitz

Nothing turns out to be so oppressive and unjust as a feeble government.

Edmund Burke

But what is ? What is ?The words and do not denote any really existing thing and therefore cannot be defined. Those words only denote a certain stage of understanding of phenomena. I do not know why a certain event occurs; I think that I cannot know it; so I do not try to know it and I talk about . I see a force producing effects beyond the scope of ordinary human agencies; I do not understand why this occurs and I talk of .To a heard of rams, that ram the herdsman dries each evening into a special enclosure to feed, and that becomes twice as fat as the others, must seem to be a genius.

Leo Tolstoy

It is profoundly tragic that I am a slave, but it is profoundly joyous that I am God's slave, not that of a devil.

Kedar Joshi

My mom and I used to listen to records, read, and take train rides across the country in the summer. It was a very chill life. She didn't expose me to anything that was ahead of my development, but she expected me to adjust to her world - she did not expect to adjust to mine.

Martha Plimpton

The highlight of my childhood was making my brother laugh so hard that food came out of his nose.

Garrison Keillor

We only see what we want to see; we only hear what we want to hear. Our belief system is just like a mirror that only shows us what we believe.

Don Miguel Ruiz

I never Tweet about my daughter. Never. I just want to be respectful of her privacy. My job as a mom is to know when to open my mouth and when not to.

Padma Lakshmi

I'm a big fan of small business ownership. I think it's the backbone of American innovation. But to be successful, you first have to have the courage to go for it.

Bill Rancic

We may think there is willpower involved, but more likely... change is due to want power. Wanting the new addiction more than the old one. Wanting the new me in preference to the person I am now.

George A. Sheehan

One is called to live nonviolently, even if the change one works for seems impossible.

Daniel Berrigan

The king-times are fast finishing. There will be blood shed like water, and tears like mist; but the peoples will conquer in the end. I shall not live to see it, but I foresee it.

Lord (George Gordon) Byron
