I do not mean to suggest that our handsome, newly enlarged library is to be a headquarters of busy bookworms, old and young, routinely absorbing knowledge by the hour while birds sing outside and the Mets fight it out for last place in the National League. On the contrary, a good library is a joyful place where the imagination roams free, and life is actively enriched.
William Henry Harrison, Speech, October 1, 1840
I believe and I say it is true Democratic feeling, that all the measures of the government are directed tot he purpose of making the rich richer and the poor poorer.

Study yourself carefully and you may discover that your own emotions are your greatest handicap in the business of accurate thinking.
Jeanne Moreau
Age does not protect you from love. But love, to some extent, protects you from age.

Hazrat Ali Ibn-e-Abi Talib, Nahj-ul-Balagha (Sermons and sayings Compilation)
A wise man first thinks and then speaks and a fool speaks first and then thinks.
Woodrow Wilson
We grow great by dreams. All big men are dreamers. They see things in the soft haze of a spring day or in the red fire of a long winter's evening. Some of us let these great dreams die, but others nourish and protect them nurse them through bad days till they bring them to the sunshine and light which comes always to those who sincerely hope that their dreams will come true.
Epictetus
If you would cure anger, do not feed it. Say to yourself 'I used to be angry every day then every other day now only every third or fourth day.' When you reach thirty days offer a sacrifice of thanksgiving to the gods.
Norm Crosby
When you go into court you are putting your fate into the hands of twelve people who weren't smart enough to get out of jury duty.

The world is but a canvas to the imagination.
Timothy Leary
Women who seek to be equal with men lack ambition.

Miyamoto Musashi
Do not let the body be dragged along by mind nor the mind be dragged along by the body
