| 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.

A soul generated by love.[Martin Luther King Jr.] Quote:Men always want to be a woman's first love; women have a more subtle instinct: what they like is to be a man's last romance.[Oscar Wilde] Quote:Knowledge is of two kinds. We know a subject ourselves, or we know where we can find information upon it.[Samuel Johnson] Quote:Don't use words too big for the subject. Don't say 'infinitely' when you mean 'very'; otherwise you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite.[C.S. Lewis] Quote:The very idea of freedom presupposes some objective moral law which overarches rulers and ruled alike. Subjectivism about values is eternally incompatible with democracy. We and our rulers are of one kind only so long as we are subject to one law. But if there is no Law of Nature, the ethos of any society is the creation of its rulers, educators and conditioners; and every creator stands above and outside his own creation.[C.S. Lewis] Quote:Poetry may make us from time to time a little more aware of the deeper, unnamed feelings which form the substratum of our being, to which we rarely penetrate; for our lives are mostly a constant evasion of ourselves.[T.S. Eliot] Quote:We know too much, and are convinced of too little. Our literature is a substitute for religion, and so is our religion.[T.S. Eliot] Quote:All science, even the divine science, is a sublime detective story. Only it is not set to detect why a man is dead; but the darker secret of why he is alive.[GK Chesterton] Quote:The ability to quote is a serviceable substitute for wit.[W. Somerset Maugham] Quote:There are no variations except for those who know a norm, and no subtleties for those who have not grasped the obvious.[C.S. Lewis] Quote:For having lived long, I have experienced many instances of being obliged, by better information or fuller consideration, to change opinions, even on important subjects, which I once thought right but found to be otherwise.[Benjamin Franklin] Quote:It is impossible to calculate the moral mischief, if I may so express it, that mental lying has produced in society. When a man has so far corrupted and prostituted the chastity of his mind as to subscribe his professional belief to things he does not believe he has prepared himself for the commission of every other crime.[Thomas Paine] Quote:The marvel of all history is the patience with which men and women submit to burdens unnecessarily laid upon them by their governments.[George Washington] Quote:There is no substitute for hard work.[Thomas Edison] Quote:The American temptation is to believe that foreign policy is a subdivision of psychiatry.[Henry Kissinger] Quote:Power over a man's subsistence is power over his will.[Alexander Hamilton] Quote:To be a philosopher is not merely to have subtle thoughts; but so to love wisdom as to live according to its dictates.[Henry Thoreau] Quote:Humility is no substitute for a good personality.[Fran Lebowitz] Quote:Individual rights are not subject to a public vote; a majority has no right to vote away the rights of a minority; the political function of rights is precisely to protect minorities from oppression by majorities (and the smallest minority on earth is the individual).[Ayn Rand] Quote:Tradition means giving votes to the most obscure of all classes, our ancestors. It is the democracy of the dead. Tradition refuses to submit to that arrogant oligarchy who merely happen to be walking around.[GK Chesterton] Quote:True pacifism is not unrealistic submission to an evil power...it is rather a courageous confrontation with evil by the power of love, in the faith that it is better to be the recipient of violence than the inflicter of it, since the latter only multiplies the existence of violence and bitterness in the universe, while the former may develop a sense of shame in the opponent, and thereby bring about a transformation and change of heart.[Martin Luther King Jr.] Quote:For the wise men of old the cardinal problem had been how to conform the soul to reality. For magic and applied science alike the problem is how to subdue reality to the wishes of men.[C.S. Lewis] Quote:Humor is the only test of gravity, and gravity of humor; for a subject which will not bear raillery is suspicious, and a jest which will not bear serious examination is false wit.[Aristotle] Quote:The cost of freedom is always high, but Americans have always paid it. And one path we shall never choose, and that is the path of surrender, or submission.[John F. Kennedy] Quote:The poets have been mysteriously silent on the subject of cheese.[GK Chesterton] Quote:The force of public opinion cannot be resisted when permitted freely to be expressed. The agitation it produces must be submitted to.[Thomas Jefferson] Quote:Sex and creativity are often seen by dictators as subversive activities.[Erica Jong] Quote:A country cannot subsist well without liberty, nor liberty without virtue.[Daniel Webster] Quote:Saturate yourself with your subject and the camera will all but take you by the hand.[Margaret Bourke-White] Quote:Talk to me about the truth of religion and I'll listen gladly. Talk to me about the duty of religion and I'll listen submissively. But don't come talking to me about the consolations of religion or I shall suspect that you don't understand.[C.S. Lewis] Quote:Educate your children to self-control, to the habit of holding passion and prejudice and evil tendencies subject to an upright and reasoning will, and you have done much to abolish misery from their future and crimes from society.[Benjamin Franklin] Quote:The constitution vests the power of declaring war in Congress; therefore no offensive expedition of importance can be undertaken until after they shall have deliberated upon the subject and authorized such a measure.[George Washington] Quote:Government consists in nothing else but so controlling subjects that they shall neither be able to, nor have cause to do it harm.[Nicolo Machiavelli] Quote:Never offend people with style when you can offend them with substance.[Sam Brown] Quote:Liberty has never come from the government. Liberty has always come from the subjects of it. The history of liberty is a history of resistance.[Woodrow Wilson] Quote:Laws are partly formed for the sake of good men, in order to instruct them how they may live on friendly terms with one another, and partly for the sake of those who refuse to be instructed, whose spirit cannot be subdued, or softened, or hindered from plunging into evil.[Plato] Quote:A subject for a great poet would be God's boredom after the seventh day of creation.[Friedrich Nietzsche] Quote:Grasp the subject, the words will follow.

[Aaron Copland] Quote:Advertising is the modern substitute for argument; its function is to make the worse appear the better. [George Santayana] Quote:Dreams are postcards from our subconscious, inner self to outer self, right brain trying to cross that moat to the left. Too often they come back unread: "return to sender, addressee unknown." That's a shame because it's a whole other world out there--or in here depending on your point of view. [Dennis Koenig and Jordan Budde] 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:The meeting of two personalities is like the contact of two chemical substances: if there is any reaction, both are transformed.

The latter cannot understand it when a man does not thoughtlessly submit to hereditary prejudices but honestly and courageously uses his intelligence.

The trite subjects of human efforts, possessions, outward success, luxury have always seemed to me contemptible. [Albert Einstein] Quote:It is not true that equality is a law of nature. Nature has no equality. Its soverign law is subordination and dependence.
