Yes, if you want to say that I was a drum major, say that I was a drum major for justice. Say that I was a drum major for peace. I was a drum major for righteousness. And all of the other shallow things will not matter. I won't have any money to leave behind. I won't have the fine and luxurious things of life to leave behind. But I just want to leave a committed life behind. And that's all I want to say. Martin Luther King jr.
Henry David Thoreau quote: "A sad soul can kill you quicker, much quicker, than any germ"
A sad soul can kill you quicker, much quicker, than any germ Henry David Thoreau
It is a splendid thing to have the use of any gift of God. It isn't for us to choose again, or wonder and dispute, but just work in our own places, and leave the rest to God. Sarah Orne Jewett
Working on our own consciousness is the most important thing that we are doing at any moment, and being love is a supreme creative act. Ram Dass
The most basic principle to being a free American is the notion that we as individuals are responsible for our own lives and decisions. We do not have the right to rob our neighbors to make up for our mistakes, neither does our neighbor have any right to tell us how to live, so long as we aren’t infringing on their rights. Freedom to make bad decisions is inherent in the freedom to make good ones. If we are only free to make good decisions, we are not really free. Ron Paul

There is no way any rational, reasonable person can saythat the Bush Administration has been good for America. Janeane Garofalo
Man (in good earnest) is a marvellous vain, fickle, and unstable subject, and on whom it is very hard to form any certain and uniform judgment. Michel de Montaigne
I know not if this earth on which I stand is the core of the universe or if it is but a speck of dust lost in eternity. I know not and I care not. For I know what happiness is possible to me on earth. And my happiness needs no higher aim to vindicate it. My happiness is not the means to any end. It is the end. It is its own goal. It is its own purpose. Ayn Rand
I claim to be no more than the average person with less than average ability. I have not the shadow of a doubt that any man or woman can achieve what I have, if he or she would make the same effort and cultivate the same hope and faith. Mahatma Gandhi
How easy it is to hate oneself! True grace is to forget. Yet if pride could die in us, the supreme grace would be to love oneself in all simplicity—as one would love any one of those who themselves have suffered and loved in Christ. Georges Bernanos
We are not our own any more than what we possess is our own. We did not make ourselves, we cannot be supreme over ourselves. We are not our own masters. Aldous Huxley
Ayn Rand quote: "There can be no justification for choosing any part of that..."
There can be no justification for choosing any part of that which one knows to be evil. Ayn Rand
Tina Brown quote: "Manners are the ability to put someone else at their ease...by..."
Manners are the ability to put someone else at their ease...by turning any answer into another question. Tina Brown
David Herbert Lawrence quote: "As we all know, too much of any divine thing is destruction"
As we all know, too much of any divine thing is destruction David Herbert Lawrence
Love is the movement within life that carries us, that enables us, that causes us to break out of what Alan Watts calls the “skin-encapsulated ego.” Without love, we are self-centered, but love enables us to move the center of our lives outside our ego. Therefore it expands our lives and, needless to say, enriches it. Any human being would give anything to love or be loved. When it really happens, it is like heaven on earth. Huston Smith
