By gnawing through a dike, even a rat may drown a nation.
A nation can assume that the addition of the words "under God" to its pledge of allegiance gives evidence that its citizens actually believe in God whereas all it really proves is that they believe in "believing" in God
There is such a thing as a nation being so right that it it does not need to convince others by force that it is right
You can tell the ideals of a nation by its advertisements.
A nation that continues year after year to spend more money on military defense than on programs of social uplift is approaching spiritual death.
The great nations have always acted like gangsters, and the small nations like prostitutes
If a nation values anything more than freedom, it will lose its freedom; and the irony of it is that if it is comfort or money that it values more, it will lose that too
In religion and politics, people's beliefs and convictions are in almost every case gotten at second-hand, and without examination.
There is a place in God's sun for the youth 'farthest down' who has the vision, the determination, and the courage to reach it
Leadership is a potent combination of strategy and character. But if you must be without one, be without the strategy.
Without goals, and plans to reach them, you are like a ship that has set sail with no destination.
By prevailing over all obstacles and distractions, one may unfailingly arrive at his chosen goal or destination.
Love recognizes no barriers. It jumps hurdles, leaps fences, penetrates walls to arrive at it destination full of hope.
Let us leave the beautiful women to men with no imagination.
The difference between the impossible and the possible lies in a man's determination.
The success combination in business is: Do what you do better... and: do more of what you do...
The greatest gift is a passion for reading. It is cheap, it consoles, it distracts, it excites, it gives you knowledge of the world and experience of a wide kind. It is a moral illumination.
The whole history of the world is summed up in the fact that, when nations are strong, they are not always just, and when they wish to be just, they are no longer strong.
It is untrue that equality is a law of nature. Nature has no equality; its sovereign law is subordination and dependence.
Our true nationality is mankind.
Patriotism is when love of your own people comes first; nationalism, when hate for people other than your own comes first.
Fear is the image of weakness, (fear is) comrade of timidity,the enemy of steadfastness/determination. Fear of death is the cause of every human fear. Who conquers this fear of death,conquers over himself. This person also reaches liberation from the prison of his mind.
Mathematics and Poetry are... the utterance of the same power of imagination, only that in the one case it is addressed to the head, in the other, to the heart.
I believe in human dignity as the source of national purpose, human liberty as the source of national action, the human heart as the source of national compassion, and in the human mind as the source of our invention and our ideas
It is above all by the imagination that we achieve perception and compassion and hope
Observe good faith and justice toward all nations. Cultivate peace and harmony with all.
In the anxiety to get beautiful colour harmony do not exhaust all combinations on one canvas.
It takes a lot of imagination to be a good photographer. You need less imagination to be a painter, because you can invent things. But in photography everything is so ordinary; it takes a lot of looking before you learn to see the ordinary.
For me, the creation of a photograph is experienced as a heightened emotional response, most akin to poetry and music, each image the culmination of a compelling impulse I cannot deny. Whether working with a human figure or a still life, I am deeply aware of my spiritual connection with it. In my life, as in my work, I am motivated by a great yearning for balance and harmony beyond the realm of human experience, reaching for the essence of oneness with the Universe.
It takes a lot of imagination to be a good photographer. You need less magination to be a painter, because you can invent things. But in photography everything is so ordinary; it takes a lot of looking before you learn to see the ordinary.
