Howard Schultz quote: "Large or small, our actions forge our futures, hopefully..."
Large or small, our actions forge our futures, hopefully inspiring others along the way. Howard Schultz
They can't foresee what we intend to do next. This is why they lose their nerve. They can't cross the zone of silence they herd us into. A zone bordered on their side by the distant din of their false accusations, and on our side by our silent final intentions. John Berger
I've had some experience of this love, this love that rules our hearts, which is the soul of our souls; all it got me was a kiss and twenty kicks in the ass. How could so beautiful a cause have produced in you such an abominable effect? Voltaire
If he could have his way, Satan would distract us from our heritage. He would have us become involved in a million and one things in this life–probably none of which is very important in the long run–to keep us from concentrating on the things that are really important, particularly the reality that we are God’s children. He would like us to forget about home and family values. He’d like to keep us so busy with comparatively insignificant things that we don’t have time to make the effort to... Marvin J. Ashton
Self-love is no part of morality. Indeed it is exactly its counterpart. It is the sole antagonist of virtue leading us constantly by our propensities to self-gratification in violation of our moral duties to others. Thomas Jefferson

David Eddings
If you love the Lord, live as if you loved him. Let us all try to do so; and let us watch that we never undo with our hands what we say with our tongues. Charles Spurgeon
Weapons are kept from women, but such a naming suggests that perhaps men fear our talents in war as well as our desire for peace. Alice Hoffman
Very deep things in our nature, some dim sense of the dependence of great things upon small, some dark suggestion that the things nearest to us stretch far beyond our power, some sacramental feeling of the magic in material substances, and many more emotions past fading out, are in an idea like that of the external soul. The power even in the myths of savages is like the power in the metaphors of poets. The soul of such a metaphor is often very emphatically an external soul. Gilbert K. Chesterton
As our society gets more complex and our people get more complacent, the role of the jester is more vital than ever before. Please stop sitting around. We need you to make a ruckus. Seth Godin
Edward Said quote: "We are at a point in our work when we can no longer ignore..."
We are at a point in our work when we can no longer ignore empires and the imperial context in our studies. (p. 5) Edward Said
Diane Ackerman quote: "And yet, words are the passkeys to our souls. Without them, we..."
And yet, words are the passkeys to our souls. Without them, we can't really share the enormity of our lives. Diane Ackerman
Things we were going to do are now being done by others. They were, it seems, not in our minds to do (were we or they out of our minds?) but simply ready to enter any open mind, any mind disturbed enough not to have an idea in it. John Cage
