I always think that the best way to know God is to love many things. Vincent Van Gogh
I was always treated as if I had insisted on being born, in opposition to the dictates of reason, religion, and morality, and against the dissuadinig arguments of my best friends. Charles Dickens
It is funny how mortals always picture us as putting things into their minds: in reality our best work is done by keeping things out. C. S. Lewis
He who seeks to regulate everything by law is more likely to arouse vices than to reform them. It is best to grant what cannot be abolished, even though it be in itself harmful. How many evils spring from luxury, envy, avarice, drunkenness and the like, yet these are tolerated because they cannot be prevented by legal enactments. Baruch Spinoza
Voltaire quote: "If this is the best of possible worlds, what then are the others?"
If this is the best of possible worlds, what then are the others? Voltaire
It is true that some secluded intellectuals in their esoteric circles talk differently. They proclaim the priority of what they call eternal absolute values and feign in their declamations—not in their personal conduct—a disdain of things secular and transitory.

The only way for a leader to succeed is to instill in... Ludwig von Mises
I thought it very touching to see these two women, coarse and shabby and beaten, so united; to see what they could be to one another; to see how they felt for one another, how the heart of each to each was softened by the hard trials of their lives. I think the best side of such people is almost hidden from us. What the poor are to the poor is little known, excepting to themselves and God. Charles Dickens
I must not forget that these coarsely-clad little peasants are of flesh and blood as good as the scions of the gentlest genealogy; and that the germs of native excellence, refinement, intelligence, kind feeling, are as likely to exist in their hearts as in those of the best born.

H. P. Lovecraft quote: "It is good to be a cynic? it is better to be a contented cat?..."
It is good to be a cynic? it is better to be a contented cat? and it is best not to exist at all. H. P. Lovecraft

That government is best which governs the least, because its people discipline themselves. Thomas Jefferson

So just and rich in that coin which they pay, That neither would, nor needs forbear, nor stay; Neither desires to be spared nor to spare. They quickly pay their debt, and then. Take no acquittances, but pay again; They pay, they give, they lend, and so let fall. No such occasion to be liberal. More truth, more courage... John Donne
