Wisdom has its root in goodness, not goodness its root in wisdom.

Do you suffer your thoughts to tamper with evil; and to dally with wrong-doing? If so; you are not sincere. God will regard your thoughts; for thoughts are heard in heaven. If you willingly sin in thought; if you are base and guilty there; because you think that no eye will see your thoughts; the guilt and baseness will sooner or later break into the outlets of word and deed -- from thought to wish -- from wish to purpose -- from purpose to word -- from word to act -- from act to habit -- from delight in the imagination to consent in the will -- from deed to repeated transgression; such is the genesis of sin.

Frederick Farrar

The pattern of a newspaperman's life is like the plot of 'Black Beauty.'

Laura Bush

Love is an illness which doesn't have good nor recompense.

Ali Bin Abi Thalib

Try to learn something about everything and everything about something.

Thomas Henry Huxley

Well I don't know because I don't have a real relationship with the industry.

Wisdom is the right use of knowledge. To know is not to be wise. Many men know a great deal, and are all the greater fools for it. There is no fool so great a fool as a knowing fool. But to know how to use knowledge is to have wisdom.

Charles Spurgeon
