John Haldane


So many new ideas are at first strange and horrible, though ultimately valuable that a very heavy responsibility rests upon those who would prevent their dissemination.

Henri Nouwen, Out of Solitude


When we honestly ask ourselves which person in our lives mean the most to us, we often find that it is those who, instead of giving advice, solutions, or cures, have chosen rather to share our pain and touch our wounds with a warm and tender hand. The friend who can be silent with us in a moment of despair or confusion, who can stay with us in an hour of grief and bereavement, who can tolerate not knowing, not curing, not healing and face with us the reality of our powerlessness, that is a friend who cares.

John Cleese


I find it rather easy to portray a businessman. Being bland, rather cruel and incompetent comes naturally to me.

Democritus


More men have become great through practice than by nature.

Thomas Jefferson


It is part of the American character to consider nothing as desperate - to surmount every difficulty by resolution and contrivance.

Lao-Tzu


Arms are instruments of ill omen. . . . When one is compelled to use them, it is best to do so without relish. There is no glory in victory, and to glorify it despite this is to exult in the killing of men. . . . When great numbers of people are killed, one should weep over them with sorrow. When victorious in war, one should observe mourning rites.

Kahlil Gibran


Poetry is a deal of joy and pain and wonder, with a dash of the dictionary.
