Oprah Winfrey
Real integrity is doing the right thing, knowing that nobody's going to know whether you did it or not.

Thomas Jefferson
One man with courage is a majority.
Xenophon
The sweetest of all sounds is praise.
Gerald Barzan
Taxation WITH representation ain't so hot either.
Lucius Annaeus Seneca
All cruelty springs from weakness.
Caleb Carr
So if it seems that some of what I'll have to say in the pages to come doesn't reflect the mellowing of age, that's only because I've never found that life and memories respond to time the way that tobacco does.

Great Quotations
John Piper
Missions is not the ultimate goal of the church. Worship is. Missions exists because worship doesn't. Worship is ultimate, not missions, because God is ultimate, not man. When this age is over, and the countless millions of the redeemed fall on their faces before the throne of God, missions will be no more. It is a temporary necessity. But worship abides forever.
Dag Hammarskjold
Pray that your loneliness may spur you into finding something to live for, great enough to die for.
Paul Valery
Two dangers constantly threaten the world order and disorder.
George Washington
Money, we know, will fetch anything and command the service of any man.
Oscar Wilde
The true mystery of the world is the visible, not the invisible.
Richard Milhous Nixon
Rarely have so many people been so wrong about so much.
H. G. Mendelson
Silence will not betray your thoughts but the expression on your face will. Humor has a hundred faces tragedy only a few.
Sir Francis Bacon
Discretion in speech is more than eloquence.
Mahatma Gandhi
The only devils in this world are those running around in our own hearts, and that is where all our battles should be fought.
William Shakespeare, "King Richard III", Act 4 scene 3
An honest tale speeds best, being plainly told.
Demosthenes
There is a great deal of wishful thinking in such cases it is the easiest thing of all to deceive ones self.
Penn Jillette
Channeling is just bad ventriloquism. You use another voice, but people can see your lips moving.
