The advance of liberty is the path to both a safer and better world.
George Walker Bush
As hope kindles hope, millions more will find it. By our efforts, we have lit a fire as well a fire in the minds of men. It warms those who feel its power, it burns those who fight its progress, and one day this untamed fire of freedom will reach the darkest corners of our world.
George Walker Bush
Because free peoples believe in the future, free peoples will own the future.
George Walker Bush
A total immersion in life offers the best classroom for learning to love.
Dr. Felice Leonardo Buscaglia
It's not enough to have lived. We should be determined to live for something. May I suggest that it be creating joy for others, sharing what we have for the betterment of personkind, bringing hope to the lost and love to the lonely.
Dr. Felice Leonardo Buscaglia
Who is the loving person? The loving person is the person who loves him or herself. I say this so often, and people say, "Oh yes, you're so right," but they don't do it! You will never be able to love anyone else until you love yourself. Even With your Fat Thighs!
Dr. Felice Leonardo Buscaglia
It is when we ask for love less and begin giving it more that the basis of human love is revealed to us.
Dr. Felice Leonardo Buscaglia
A life of love is one of continual growth, where the doors and windows of experience are always open to the wonder and magic that life offers. To love is to risk living fully.
Dr. Felice Leonardo Buscaglia
There is sort of Christians Christianity of whose had died out long ago, they have just not noticed that. Thus, they let all things stay as they are.
Wilhelm Busch
Religious people crucified the Son of God. He was not fitting to their wishes.
Wilhelm Busch
In fact, it is only through the New Testament that we can learn just what Christian faith is. ... Open your Bible at any page you like, there is nothing about solving religious problems. Bible testifies that God exists and that he revealed himself through Jesus Christ. It shows too that the man who lives without God is not living right.
Wilhelm Busch
And I hope to stand for a new harmony, a greater tolerance. We've come far, but I think we need a new harmony among the races in our country. And we're on a journey into a new century, and we've got to leave that tired old baggage of bigotry behind.
George Herbert Walker Bush
Think about every problem, every challenge, we face. The solution to each starts with education.
George Herbert Walker Bush

Robert Burton
The commonwealth of Venice in their armory have this inscription: "Happy is that city which in time of peace thinks of war."
Robert Burton
Being called a traitor by Dick Cheney is the highest honor you can give an American, and the more panicked talk we hear from people like him, Feinstein, and King, the better off we all are. If they had taught a class on how to be the kind of citizen Dick Cheney worries about, I would have finished high school.
Edward Snowden
The ability to make love frivolously is the chief characteristic which distinguishes human beings from beasts.
Heywood Broun
The appreciation of a painting or a piece of music, for example, or even falling in love, is all about our subjectivity. But to decide that the entire universe operates in such a way, let alone to go to war because we are so convinced we are right that others must agree with us or die, that surely should demand a higher level of argument than 'It's true because I really, really feel it is.
Derren Victor Brown
How many powerful memories are triggered by smell and taste? Your mothers old perfume, the smell your fathers breath, the taste of the soap theyd make you eat.
Derren Victor Brown
We must use time wisely and forever realize that the time is always ripe to do right.
Nelson Mandela
We live in deeds, not years: In thoughts not breaths; In feelings, not in figures on a dial. We should count time by heart throbs. He most lives Who thinks most, feels the noblest, acts the best.
Philip James Bailey
Men and women should own the world as a mutual possession.
Pearl Sydenstricker Buck
I would fight the world for you, but I'm damned if I can figure out how to save you from yourself.
Lois McMaster Bujold
Power is better than revenge. Power is a live thing, by which you reach out to grasp the future. Revenge is a dead thing, reaching out from the past to grasp you.
Lois McMaster Bujold
It just happens to be very important to me to win with the hand I was dealt.
Lois McMaster Bujold
Leaders must be close enough to relate to others, but far enough ahead to motivate them.
John C. Maxwell
One of the most horrible features of war is that all the war-propaganda, all the screaming and lies and hatred, comes invariably from people who are not fighting.
George Orwell
I believe in some blending of hope and sunshine sweetening the worst lots. I believe that this life is not all; neither the beginning nor the end. I believe while I tremble; I trust while I weep.
Charlotte Bront
Thanksgiving Day is a jewel, to set in the hearts of honest men; but be careful that you do not take the day, and leave out the gratitude.
E.P. Powell
The tragedy of life is what dies inside a man while he lives.
Albert Schweitzer
Science knows it doesn't know everything; otherwise, it'd stop. But just because science doesn't know everything doesn't mean you can fill in the gaps with whatever fairy tale most appeals to you.
Dara Briain
I'm a very talented person, I know that. I'm a very gifted person. I have a lot of imagination. I work hard. I feel I have the attributes within myself to have achieved what I have done. There has been no luck, no miracles. The only miracle has been this voice.
Sarah Brightman
