Love has its place, as does hate. Peace has its place, as does war. Mercy has its place, as do cruelty and revenge.

For so long as the Jew has even one ally, he will be convinced - in his smallness of mind - that his salvation came from that ally. It is only when he is alone - against all of his own efforts and frantic attempts - that he will, through no choice, be compelled to turn to G-d.

The Jew does not wish to be isolated. He fears being alone, without allies.

If we ever hope to rid the world of the political AIDS of our time, terrorism, the rule must be clear: One does not deal with terrorists; one does not bargain with terrorists; one kills terrorists.

Try to be like the turtle - at ease in your own shell.

After all is said and done, sit down.

Love is the most terrible, and also the most generous of the passions; it is the only one which includes in its dreams the happiness of someone else.

Happiness is composed of misfortunes avoided.

Some people are always grumbling because roses have thorns; I am thankful that thorns have roses.

Love in marriage should be the accomplishment of a beautiful dream, and not, as it too often is, the end.

If men knew all that women think, they would be twenty times more audacious.

Faith is love taking the form of aspiration.

The mind, in proportion as it is cut off from free communication with nature, with revelation, with God, with itself, loses its life, just as the body droops when debarred from the air and the cheering light from heaven.

Nothing which has entered into our experience is ever lost.

How easy to be amiable in the midst of happiness and success.

God is another name for human intelligence raised above all error and imperfection, and extended to all possible truth.

Great minds are to make others great. Their superiority is to be used, not to break the multitude to intellectual vassalage, not to establish over them a spiritual tyranny, but to rouse them from lethargy, and to aid them to judge for themselves.

No power in society, no hardship in your condition can depress you, keep you down, in knowledge, power, virtue, influence, but by your own consent.

Difficulties are meant to rouse, not discourage. The human spirit is to grow strong by conflict.

Every mind was made for growth, for knowledge, and its nature is sinned against when it is doomed to ignorance.

It is not the quantity but the quality of knowledge which determines the mind's dignity.

The world is governed by opinion.

Every man is a volume if you know how to read him.

The home is the chief school of human virtues.

Life has a higher end, than to be amused.

We smile at the ignorance of the savage who cuts down the tree in order to reach its fruit; but the same blunder is made by every person who is over eager and impatient in the pursuit of pleasure.

No one likes doing chores. In happiness surveys, housework is ranked down there with commuting as activities that people enjoy the least. Maybe that's why figuring out who does which chores usually prompts, at best, tense discussion in a household and, at worst, outright fighting.

I tell my micro students everything I teach them is important, but the truth is that some things are more useful than others, and opportunity cost is near the top.

Peace is that state in which fear of any kind is unknown.

To live for a time close to great minds is the best kind of education.

There may be Peace without Joy, and Joy without Peace, but the two combined make Happiness.

The task of leadership is not to put greatness into humanity, but to elicit it, for the greatness is already there.

The charm of fishing is that it is the pursuit of what is elusive but attainable, a perpetual series of occasions for hope.

Happiness always looks small while you hold it in your hands, but let it go, and you learn at once how big and precious it is.

Only mothers can think of the future - because they give birth to it in their children.

We used to have championships in the streets with my friends, and whoever scored a goal was the happiest boy in the world. Now, every time that I score, I go back to being a child: the happiness of scoring a goal is unexplainable.

Players do not come out of the closet because they are afraid. We have to appear hard and strong, but we are afraid of what people will say about us. Of course, I have nothing against anyone. I respect everybody.

With hard work and effort, you can achieve anything.

Every training session, I work hard to improve my weaknesses and build on my strengths.

I'm always proud to be popular with the fans. I try to smile and do my best. If they like it, it's even better.

Denounce me for advocating freedom if you can, and I will bear your curse with a better resignation.

I come before you to declare that my sex are entitled to the inalienable right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.

Rude contact with facts chased my visions and dreams quickly away, and in their stead I beheld the horrors, the corruption, the evils and hypocrisy of society, and as I stood among them, a young wife, a great wail of agony went out from my soul.

If Congress refuse to listen to and grant what women ask, there is but one course left then to pursue. What is there left for women to do but to become the mothers of the future government?

Let women issue a declaration of independence sexually, and absolutely refuse to cohabit with men until they are acknowledged as equals in everything, and the victory would be won in a single week.

I now announce myself as candidate for the Presidency. I anticipate criticism; but however unfavorable I trust that my sincerity will not be called into question.

Ah, but a man's reach should exceed his grasp, Or what's a heaven for?

I trust in nature for the stable laws of beauty and utility. Spring shall plant and autumn garner to the end of time.

If you get simple beauty and naught else, you get about the best thing God invents.

A minute's success pays the failure of years.
