They must not be hurried on to their conclusions by the passions, or the fears of the multitude. They must deliberate, as well as resolve.~ Joseph Story If I want to be free from any other man’s dictation, I must understand that I can have no other man under my control.~ William Graham Sumner If I want to be free from any other man’s dictation, I must understand that I can have no other man under my control.~ William Graham Sumner The battle for the world is the battle for definitions.~ Thomas Szasz In America nobody says you have to keep the circumstances you were born with.~ Amy Tan Live your life that the fear of death can never enter your heart. Trouble no one about his religion. Respect others in their views and demand that they respect yours. Love your life, perfect your life, beautify all things in your life. Seek to make your life long and of service to your people. Prepare a noble death song for the day when you go over the great divide. Always give a word or sign of salute when meeting or passing a friend, or even a stranger, if in a lonely place. Show respect to all people, but grovel to none. When you rise in the morning, give thanks for the light, for your life, for your strength. Give thanks for your food and for the joy of living. If you see no reason to give thanks, the fault lies in yourself. Abuse no one and no thing, for abuse turns the wise ones to fools and robs the spirit of its vision. When your time comes to die, be not like those whose hearts are filled with fear of death, so that when their time comes they weep and pray for a little more time to live their lives over again in a different way. Sing your death song, and die like a hero going home.~ Tecumseh Knowledge comes, but wisdom lingers.~ Alfred Lord Tennyson If we have no peace, it is because we have forgotten that we belong to each other.~ Mother Teresa Human rights are not a privilege conferred by government. They are every human being's entitlement by virtue of his humanity. The right to life does not depend, and must not be contingent, on the pleasure of anyone else, not even a parent or sovereign. ... You must weep that your own government, at present, seems blind to this truth.~ Mother Teresa To endure is greater than to dare; to tire out hostile fortune; to be daunted by no difficulty; to keep heart when all have lost it; to go through intrigue spotless; to forgo even ambition when the end is gained -- who can say this is not greatness?~ William Makepeace Thackeray He deserves Paradise who makes his companions laugh.~ The Koran The ordinary "horseless carriage" is at present a luxury for the wealthy; and although its price will probably fall in the future, it will never, of course, come into as common use as the bicycle.~ The Literary Digest This is the sum of all true righteousness: deal with others as thou wouldst thyself be dealt by. Do nothing to thy neighbor which thou wouldst not have him do to thee hereafter.~ The Mahabharata Beware of all enterprises that require new clothes.~ Henry David Thoreau Previous 20 quotes Next 20 quotes Share on Facebook Tweet Email Print
