The attempt to silence a man
is the greatest honor you can bestow on him. It means you
recognize his superiority to yourself. Joseph Sobran Honesty is something you can't
wear out. Waylon Jennings Albert Brooks It's better to be known by six
people for something you're proud of than by sixty million
for something you're not. All our souls are written in
our eyes. Edmond Rostand Confidence, like art, never
comes from having all the answers; it comes from being open
to all questions. Earl Gary Stevens Sophia
Bedford-Pierce There is nothing lost by
discarding your faults. Nothing gives one person so
much advantage over another as to remain always cool and
unruffled under all circumstances. Thomas Jefferson War makes no sense. Winning
does not outweigh the incredible losses. Unknown Mother Teresa Let no one ever come to you
without leaving better and happier. Be the living expression
of God's kindness; kindness in your eyes, kindness in your
eyes, kindness in your smile. Always serve too much hot
fudge on hot fudge sundaes. It makes people overjoyed, and
puts them in your debt. Judith Olney To see things in the seed,
that is genius Lao-tzu Malcolm X You're not to be so blind with
patriotism that you can't face reality. Wrong is wrong, no
matter who does it or says it. It is so conceited and timid
to be ashamed of one's mistakes. Of course they are
mistakes. Go on to the next. Brenda Ueland I do not believe that sheer
suffering teaches. If suffering alone taught, all the world
would be wise, for everyone suffers. To suffering must be
adding mourning, understanding, patience, love, openness,
and the willingness to remain vulnerable. Anne Morrow
Lindbergh Pearl S. Buck I feel no need for any other
faith than my faith in human beings. What I want is what I've not
got, but what I need is all around me. Dave Matthews If the only prayer you ever
say in your entire life is thank you, it will be
enough. Gandhi Isak Dinesen The cure for anything is salt
water- sweat, tears, or the sea. Never forget what a man says
to you when he is angry. Henry Ward Beecher Forget the times of your
distress, but never forget what they taught you. Herbert Gasser Aristotle It is the mark of an educated
mind to be able to entertain a thought without accepting
it. There is enough in the world
for everyone's need, but not enough for everyone's
greed. Frank Buchman Talk low, talk slow, and don't
say too much. John Wayne Voltaire Ideas are like beards; men do
not have them until they grow up. Religion without humanity is a
poor human stuff. Sojourner Truth Keep in mind that the true
measure of an individual is how he treats a person who can
do him absolutely no good. Ann Landers Denise McCluggage Change is the only constant.
Hanging on is the only sin. A different language is a
different vision of life. Federico Fellini It is not the color of the
skin that makes the man or the woman, but the principle
formed in the soul. Brilliant wit will shine, come from
whence it will; and genius and talent will not hide the
brightness of its lustre. Maria Stewart Georgia O'Keeffe Where I was born, and where
and how I have lived is unimportant. It is what I have done
and where I have been that should be of interest. You have much more power when
you are working for the right thing than when you are
working against the wrong thing. Peace Pilgrim You don't have to think about
doing the right thing. If you're for the right thing, then
you do it without thinking. Maya Angelou Malcolm S. Forbes Ability will never catch up
for the demand for it. It is easy to take liberty for
granted, when you have never had it taken from
you. Dick Cheney The only real voyage of
discovery consists not in seeking new landscapes but in
having new eyes. Marcel Proust Louis Aragon Geniuses are like ocean
liners: they should never meet. It takes a lot of things to
prove you are smart, but only one thing to prove you are
ignorant. Don Herold All change is not growth, as
all movement is not forward. Ellen Glasgow John Macnaughton Maturity begins to grow when
you can sense your concern for others outweighing your
concern for yourself. Be who you are and say what
you feel, because those who mind don't matter and those who
matter don't mind. Dr. Seuss Rest satisfied with doing
well, and leave others to talk of you as they
please. Pythagoras English Proverb Use soft words and hard
arguments. Chase after truth like hell
and you'll free yourself, even though you never touch its
coat-tails. Clarence Darrow So long as we live among men,
let us cherish humanity. Andre Gide Mahatma Gandhi You must not lose faith in
humanity. Humanity is an ocean; if a few drops of the ocean
are dirty, the ocean does not become dirty. If you hear a voice within you
saying, "You are not a painter," then by all means paint --
and that voice will be silenced. Vincent Van Gogh
