We are apt to shut our eyes against a painful truth...
For my part, I am willing to know the whole truth;
to know the worst; and to provide for it.more Patrick Henry quotes |

Wisdom is not communicable.
The wisdom which a wise man tries to communicate
always sounds foolish.more Herman Hesse quotes |

Parties who want milk should not seat themselves on a stool in the middle of a field in hope that the cow will back up to them.more Elbert Hubbard quotes |

wisdom consists in not exceeding the limit.more Elbert Hubbard quotes |

One of the qualities of liberty is that, as long as it is being striven after, it goes on expanding. Therefore, the man who stands in the midst of the struggle and says, ‘I have it,' merely shows by doing so that he has just lost it.more Henrik Ibsen quotes |
When you were born, you cried and the world rejoiced. Live your life in such a manner that when you die the world cries and you rejoice.more Indian Saying quotes |

History does not move by leaps into unrelated novelty, but rather by the selective emphasis of aspects of its own immediate past.more Julian Jaynes quotes |
|
It is a great importance to set a resolution, not to be shaken, never to tell an untruth. There is no vice so mean, so pitiful, so contemptible and he who permits himself to tell a lie once, finds it much easier to do it a second and third time, till at length it becomes habitual, he tells lies without attending to it, and truths without the world's believing him. This falsehood of the tongue leads to that of the heart, and in time depraves all it's good dispositions.more Thomas Jefferson quotes |
|
I would rather be exposed to the inconveniences attending too much liberty than to those attending too small a degree of it.more Thomas Jefferson quotes |
|
And Jesus went into the temple of God,
and cast out all them that sold and bought in the temple,
and overthrew the tables of the moneychangers,
and the seats of them that sold doves,
And said unto them, 'It is written,
My house shall be called the house of prayer;
but ye have made it a den of thieves.'more Jesus of Nazareth quotes |
But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you.more Jesus of Nazareth quotes |
