Words are wise men's counters, they do but reckon by them: but they are the money of fools.

Peace is our gift to each other.

Elie Wiesel

Heartsick, heartbroken?To know love is to know pain.What could be more common?Even so, each broken heart is so singularThat with it we probe the divine.

Rumi

There's an enduring American compulsion to be on the side of the angels. Expediency alone has never been an adequate American reason for doing anything. When actions are judged, they go before the bar of God, where Mom and the Flag closely flank His presence.

Jonathan Raban

It is we that are blind, not fortune; because our eye is too dim to discern the mystery of her effects, we foolishly paint her blind, and hoodwink the providence of the Almighty.

Sir Thomas Browne

The worst thing about some men is that when they are not drunk they are sober.

William Butler Yeats

I would like to work with anyone in the business who wants to give respect back to the Jamaican vibe.

Sean Paul

In perpetrating a revolution, there are two requirements: someone or something to revolt against and someone to actually show up and do the revolting. Dress is usually casual and both parties may be flexible about time and place, but if either faction fails to attend, the whole enterprise is likely to come off badly.

Woody Allen, A Brief Yet Helpful

Imagine yourself in Harriet Tubman's shoes. Fighting to be freed from deplorable conditions. Placing one foot in front of the other, putting slavery behind you. If a petite, abused slave can rise up, fight for freedom, secure the freedom of others, and change her world, so can I. And so can you.

As regards parents, I should like to see them as highly educated as possible, and I do not restrict this remark to fathers alone.

Quintilian

Science is but an image of the truth.

Francis Bacon

The mystic purchases a moment of exhilaration with a lifetime of confusion and the confusion is infectious and destructive. It is confusing and destructive to try and explain anything in terms of anything else, poetry in terms of psychology.

Basil Bunting

You may tell a tale that takes up residence in someone's soul, becomes their blood and self and purpose. That tale will move them and drive them and who knows that they might do because of it, because of your words. That is your role, your gift.
