| Quote:Everybody can be great... because anybody can serve. You don't have to have a college degree to serve. You don't have to make your subject and verb agree to serve. You only need a heart full of grace. A soul generated by love.[Martin Luther King Jr.] Quote:The darkest places in hell are reserved for those who maintain their neutrality in times of moral crisis.[Dante Alighieri] Quote:They that can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety.[Benjamin Franklin] Quote:Once again, we come to the Holiday Season, a deeply religious time that each of us observes, in his own way, by going to the mall of his choice.[Dave Barry] Quote:Best of all is it to preserve everything in a pure, still heart, and let there be for every pulse a thanksgiving, and for every breath a song.[Konrad von Gesner] Quote:The wisdom of the wise, and the experience of ages, may be preserved by quotations.[Isaac Disraeli] Quote:Have you ever observed that we pay much more attention to a wise passage when it is quoted than when we read it in the original author?[Philip Hamerton] Quote:You don't have to deserve your mother's love. You have to deserve your father's.[Robert Frost] Quote:I probably should never have been there anyway, and it served me right when the two alert police officers fired up their siren, pulled me over, and pointed out that my car's registration had expired. I had not realized this, and as you can imagine I felt like quite the renegade outlaw as one of the officers painstakingly wrote out my ticket, standing well to the side of the road so as to avoid getting hit by the steady stream of passing unlicensed and uninsured motorists driving their stolen cars with their left hands so that their right hands would be free to keep their pit bulls from spilling their cocaine all over their machine guns. Not that I am bitter.[Dave Barry] Quote:Any society that would give up a little liberty to gain a little security will deserve neither and lose both.[Benjamin Franklin] Quote:How many observe Christ's birthday! How few, his precepts! O! 'tis easier to keep holidays than commandments.[Benjamin Franklin] Quote:You can observe a lot just by watchin'.[Yogi Berra] Quote:We are so concerned to flatter the majority that we lose sight of how very often it is necessary, in order to preserve freedom for the minority,let alone for the individual, to face that majority down.[William F. Buckley] Quote:Those who deny freedom to others deserve it not for themselves.[Abraham Lincoln] Quote:But we have forgotten God. We have forgotten the gracious Hand which preserved us in peace, and multiplied and enriched and strengthened us; and we have vainly imagined, in the deceitfulness of our hearts, that all these blessings were produced by some superior wisdom and virtue of our own.[Abraham Lincoln] Quote:The talent of success is nothing more than doing what you can do well, and doing well whatever you do without thought of fame. If it comes at all it will come because it is deserved, not because it is sought after.[Henry Wadsworth Longfellow] Quote:At 50, everyone has the face he deserves.[George Orwell] Quote:I don't know half of you half as well as I should like; and I like less than half of you half as well as you deserve.[J.R.R. Tolkien] Quote:Many that live deserve death. And some die that deserve life. Can you give it to them? Then be not too eager to deal out death in the name of justice, fearing for your own safety. Even the wise cannot see all ends.[J.R.R. Tolkien] Quote:We each have the kind of children we deserve.[Nachman of Bratslav] Quote:The energy, the faith, the devotion which we bring this endeavor will light our bounty and all who serve it, and the glow from that fire can truly light the world.[John F. Kennedy] Quote:Occasionally words must serve to veil the facts. But this must happen in such a way that no one becomes aware of it; or, if it should be noticed, excuses must be at hand, to be produced immediately.[Nicolo Machiavelli] Quote:If the primary aim of a captain were to preserve his ship, he would keep it in port forever.[Thomas Aquinas] Quote:A Galileo could no more be elected president of the United States than he could be elected Pope of Rome. Both high posts are reserved for men favored by God with an extraordinary genius for swathing the bitter facts of life in bandages of self-illusion.[Henry Mencken] Quote:Undeserved praise causes more pangs of conscience later than undeserved blame, but probably only for this reason, that our power of judgment are more completely exposed by being over praised than by being unjustly underestimated.[Friedrich Nietzsche] Quote:They that can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety.

[William Shakespeare] Quote:There were always people like the pope. They serve a certain function, of course. They subsidize us. But, they don't create anything and they must never be allowed to stop the artist from creating. [Diane Frolov and Andrew Schneider] Quote:Democracy is a device that ensures we shall be governed no better than we deserve. [George Bernard Shaw] Quote:How beautiful is death, when earn'd by virtue! <br> Who would not be that youth? What pity is it <br> That we can die but once to serve our country! [Joseph Addison] Quote:The most remarkable thing about my mother is that for thirty years she served the family nothing but leftovers. The original meal has never been found. [Calvin Trillin] Quote:The most remarkable thing about my mother is that for thirty years she served the family nothing but leftovers. The original meal has never been found. [Calvin Trillin] Quote:The superior man, when resting in safety, does not forget that danger may come. When in a state of security he does not forget the possibility of ruin. When all is orderly, he does not forget that disorder may come. Thus his person is not endangered, and his States and all their clans are preserved. [Confucius] Quote:Let me not be understood as saying that there are no bad laws, nor that grievances may not arise for the redress of which no legal provisions have been made. I mean to say no such thing. But I do mean to say that although bad laws, if they exist, should be repealed as soon as possible, still, while they continue in force, for the sake of example they should be religiously observed. [Abraham Lincoln] Quote:Far better to think historically, to remember the lessons of the past.

I seek to preserve property and to respect order, and I equally decry the appeal to the passions of the many of the prejudices of the few. [Benjamin Disraeli] Quote:I am a Conservative to preserve all that is good in our constitution, a Radical to remove all that is bad. I seek to preserve property and to respect order, and I equally decry the appeal to the passions of the many of the prejudices of the few. [Benjamin Disraeli] Quote:The wisdom of the wise, and the experience of ages, may be preserved by quotation. [Benjamin Disraeli] Quote:Regard your good name as the richest jewel you can possibly be possessed of - for credit is like fire; when once you have kindled it you may easily preserve it, but if you once extinguish it, you will find it an arduous task to rekindle it again.
