Aristotle


The only stable state is the one in which all men are equal before the law.

Dan Quayle, 8/11/89


Mars is essentially in the same orbit... Mars is somewhat the same distance from the Sun, which is very important. We have seen pictures where there are canals, we believe, and water. If there is water, that means there is oxygen. If oxygen, that means we can breathe.

Assyrian Proverb


The rich would have to eat money if the poor did not provide food.

Victor Cousin


All men have an equal right to the free development of their faculties they have an equal right to the impartial protection of the state but it is not true, it is against all the laws of reason and equity, it is against the eternal nature of things, that the indolent man and the laborious man, the spendthrift and the economist, the imprudent and the wise, should obtain and enjoy an equal amount of goods.

Phyllis Bottome


When you make a mistake, don't look back at it long. Take the reason of the thing into your mind, and then look forward. Mistakes are lessons of wisdom. The past cannot be changed. The future is yet in your power.

Anatole France


The average man does not know what to do with his life, yet wants another one which will last forever.

Hellen Keller


Science may have found a cure for most evils; but it has found no remedy for the worst of them all- the apathy of human beings.
