War begets quiet, quiet idleness, idleness disorder, disorder ruin; likewise ruin order, order virtue, virtue glory, and good fortune.

True realism consists in revealing the surprising things which habit keeps covered and prevents us from seeing.

Jean Cocteau

This Christmas mend a quarrel. Seek out a forgotten friend. Dismiss suspicion and replace it with trust. Write a letter. Give a soft answer. Encourage youth. Manifest your loyalty in word and deed. Keep a promise. Forgo a grudge. Forgive an enemy. Apologize. Try to understand. Examine your demands on others. Think first of someone else. Be kind. Be gentle. Laugh a little more. Express your gratitude. Welcome a stranger. Gladden the heart of a child. Take pleasure in the beauty and wonder of the earth. Speak your love, and then speak it again.

Howard W. Hunter

Give the world the best that you have, and the best will come back to you.

Madeline Bridges

Anything that you learn becomes your wealth, a wealth that cannot be taken away from you; whether you learn it in a building called school or in the school of life. To learn something new is a timeless pleasure and a valuable treasure. And not all things that you learn are taught to you, but many things that you learn you realize you have taught yourself.

C. JoyBell C.

I don't mind occasionally having to reinvent a wheel; I don't even mind using someone's reinvented wheel occasionally. But it helps a lot if it is symmetric, contains no fewer than ten sides, and has the axle centered. I do tire of trapezoidal wheels with offset axles.

Joseph Newcomer

We should try to create the society we would want if we didn't know in advance who we'd be.

Paul Krugman

The thought about Republicans is, we're supposed to be Jeffersonian. That government governs the best that governs the least.

Pat Robertson

It wasn't somebody big and strong that helped me. No. It was somebody weak that needed me.

Yossi Ghinsberg

We live in a world which is full of misery and ignorance, and the plain duty of each and all of us is to try to make the little corner he can influence somewhat less miserable and somewhat less ignorant than it was before he entered it.

Thomas Henry Huxley

Austere perseverance, hash and continuous... rarely fails of its purpose, for its silent power grows irresistible greater with time.

Johann von Goethe

Perseverance is not a long race; it is many short races one after another.

Walter Elliott

Always something new, seldom something good.
