John Burroughs, Birds and Poets, 1887


The very idea of a bird is a symbol and a suggestion to the poet. A bird seems to be at the top of the scale, so vehement and intense his life. . . . The beautiful vagabonds, endowed with every grace, masters of all climes, and knowing no bounds -- how many human aspirations are realised in their free, holiday-lives -- and how many suggestions to the poet in their flight and song!

Lithuanian Proverb


God gave teeth He will give bread.

Author Unknown


Too many people run out of ideas long before they run out of words.

Aeschylus (525-456 B.C.), Frag. 146 (trans. by Plumptre).


Of all the gods, Death only craves not gifts:
Nor sacrifice, nor yet drink-offering poured
Avails; no altars hath he, nor is soothed
By hymns of praise. From him alone of all
The powers of heaven Persuasion holds aloof.

Oliver Cromwell


I beseech you, in the bowels of Christ, think it possible you may be mistaken.

Thomas Jefferson, letter to George Washington, September 9, 1792


No government ought to be without censors & where the press is free, no one ever will.

Henry Peter Brougham


Education makes people easy to lead, but difficult to drive; easy to govern, but impossible to enslave.

Kurt Vonnegut, Jr.

Each time you are honest and conduct yourself with honesty, a success force will drive you toward greater success. Each time you lie, even with a little white lie, there are strong forces pushing you toward failure.

Titus Livius
