Quote:What lies behind us and what lies before us are tiny matters compared to what lies with in us.[Ralph Waldo Emerson]

Quote:But could not our situation be compared to one of a menacing epidemic? People are unable to view this situation in its true light, for their eyes are blinded by passion. General fear and anxiety create hatred and aggressiveness. The adaptation to warlike aims and activities has corrupted the mentality of man; as a result, intelligent, objective and humane thinking has hardly any effect and is even suspected and persecuted as unpatriotic.[Albert Einstein]

Quote:I think it's insulting to people who have a heritage of slavery to compare the homosexual experience in America to that. It's an unfortunate, cheap attempt to piggyback on something and to co-opt life experiences of others, claim that you've experienced them yourselves so that you can advance a cause.[Rush Limbaugh]

Quote:He who exercises government by means of his virtue may be compared to the north polar star, which keeps its place and all the stars turn towards it. [Confucius]
