~ Clear thinking requires courage rather than intelligence. ~ ~ The best protection any woman can have . . . is courage. ~ ~ War is so unjust and ugly that all who wage it must try to stifle the voice of conscience within themselves. ~ ~ Integrity is the first step to true greatness. Men love to praise, but are slow to practice it. To maintain it in high places costs self-denial; in all places it is liable to opposition, but its end is glorious, and the universe will yet do it homage. ~ ~ He who esteems trifles for themselves is a trifler; he who esteems them for the conclusions to be drawn from them, or the advantage to which they can be put, is a philosopher. ~ ~ Every germ of goodness will at last struggle into bloom and fruitage, true success follows every right step. ~ ~ Marriage is the highest state of friendship. If happy, it lessens our cares by dividing them, at the same time that it doubles our pleasures by mutual participation. ~ ~ The Senate and the country need Senators of courage who are prepared to make their mark on history by standing with past profiles in courage, and defending not party, not partisanship, but defending principle and democracy itself. ~ ~ When tillage begins, other arts follow. The farmers, therefore, are the founders of human civilization. ~ ~ The most essential factor is persistence - the determination never to allow your energy or enthusiasm to be dampened by the discouragement that must inevitably come. ~ ~ Courage, it would seem, is nothing less than the power to overcome danger, misfortune, fear, injustice, while continuing to affirm inwardly that life with all its sorrows is good; that everything is meaningful even if in a sense beyond our understanding; and that there is always tomorrow. ~ ~ God promises a safe landing but not a calm passage. ~ ~ We may have different religions, different languages, different colored skin, but we all belong to one human race. ~ ~ The tragedy of life is what dies inside a man while he lives. ~ ~ Life's tragedy is that we get old too soon and wise too late. ~ ~ The most protean aspect of comedy is its potentiality for transcending itself, for responding to the conditions of tragedy by laughing in the darkness. ~ ~ The tragedy of old age is not that one is old, but that one is young. ~ ~ The ultimate tragedy is not the oppression and cruelty by the bad people but the silence over that by the good people. ~ ~ All women become like their mothers. That is their tragedy. No man does. That's his. ~ ~ The tragedy of life is not that it ends so soon, but that we wait so long to begin it. ~ ~ Chains do not hold a marriage together. It is threads, hundreds of tiny threads which sew people together through the years. ~ ~ Ofttimes the test of courage becomes rather to live than to die. ~ ~ Marriage, to women as to men, must be a luxury, not a necessity; an incident of life, not all of it. And the only possible way to accomplish this great change is to accord to women equal power in the making, shaping and controlling of the circumstances of life. ~ ~ Beneath the surface of states and nations, ideas and language, lies the fate of individual human beings in need. Answering their needs will be the mission of the United Nations in the century to come. ~ ~ We need to find the courage to say NO to the things and people that are not serving us if we want to rediscover ourselves and live our lives with authenticity. ~ ~ A poet is, before anything else, a person who is passionately in love with language. ~ ~ War is what happens when language fails. ~ ~ There is plenty of room at the top because very few people care to travel beyond the average route. And so most of us seem satisfied to remain within the confines of mediocrity. ~ ~ Ideas consume the ages as passions consume men. When man is cured, humanity may possibly cure itself. ~ ~ Old age is like learning a new profession. And not one of your own choosing. ~ |
