~ Responsibility for learning belongs to the student, regardless of age ~ ~ Civilization is a movement and not a condition, a voyage and not a harbor. ~ ~ What a distressing contrast there is between the radiant intelligence of the child and the feeble mentality of the average adult ~ ~ Anything you cannot relinquish when it has outlived its usefulness possesses you, and in this materialistic age a great many of us are possessed by our possessions ~ ~ Usefulness! It is not a fascinating word, and the quality is not one of which the aspiring spirit can dream o' nights, yet on the stage it is the first thing to aim at ~ ~ The old welfare system was hurting people by discouraging work and marriage. Welfare reform, and now this legislation, will build on the understanding that work and strong families are the foundation upon which we build our future. ~ ~ Pilgrimage to the place of the wise is to escape the flame of separation from Nature. ~ ~ Age is just a number. It is totally irrelevant unless, of course, you happen to be a bottle of wine. ~ ~ Middle age is when you are sitting at home on a Saturday night and the telephone rings and you hope it is not for you. ~ ~ Any alliance whose purpose is not the intention to wage war is senseless and useless. ~ ~ It will be all over this day week - comfort - discomfort; and the zest and rush that no engagements, hours, habits give. Then we shall take them up again with more than the zest of traveling. ~ ~ Your body is the baggage you must carry through life. The more excess the baggage, the shorter the trip. ~ ~ It began in mystery, and it will end in mystery, but what a savage and beautiful country lies in between. ~ ~ The real voyage of discovery consists not in seeking new landscapes but in having new eyes. ~ ~ Simulated disorder postulates perfect discipline; simulated fear postulates courage; simulated weakness postulates strength. ~ ~ The terror of the atom age is not the violence of the new power but the speed of man's adjustment to it, the speed of his acceptance. ~ ~ “Applause, mingled with boos and hisses, is about all that the average voter is able or willing to contribute to public life.” ~ ~ Our defense is in the preservation of the spirit which prizes liberty as a heritage of all men, in all lands, everywhere. Destroy this spirit and you have planted the seeds of despotism around your own doors. ~ ~ Management is efficiency in climbing the ladder of success; leadership determines whether the ladder is leaning against the right wall. ~ ~ One impulse from a vernal wood May teach you more of man, Of moral evil and of good, Than all the sages can. ~ ~ Beauty and ugliness disappear equally under the wrinkles of age; one is lost in them the other hidden ~ ~ Every man builds his world in his own image. He has the power to choose, but no power to escape the necessity of choice. ~ ~ Vegas means comedy, tragedy, happiness and sadness all at the same time. ~ ~ Mediocrity doesn't mean average intelligence, it means an average intelligence that resents and envies its betters. ~ ~ The paradox of reality is that no image is as compelling as the one which exists only in the mind's eye. ~ ~ Many of the great achievements of the world were accomplished by tired and discouraged men who kept on working. ~ ~ Give people enough guidance to make the decisions you want them to make. Don't tell them what to do, but encourage them to do what is best. ~ ~ An engaged woman is always more agreeable than a disengaged. She is satisfied with herself.

Silence encourages the tormentor, never the tormented. ~ ~ Thought is the blossom; language the bud; action the fruit behind it ~ |
