The Republic need to be passed through chastening, purifying fires of adversity and suffering; so these came and did their work and the verdure of a new national life springs greenly, luxuriantly, from their ashes

Horace Greeley (1811-1872)

Horace Greeley

We've all cried. We don't know what it's going to be like. Like we didn't know what it was going to be like when we started, we have no idea [what it will be like at the end.] We're all gonna be blithering idiots.

Jennifer Aniston (1969-)

Jennifer Aniston

Seeing that a Pilot steers the ship in which we sail, who will never allow us to perish even in the midst of shipwrecks, there is no reason why our minds should be overwhelmed with fear and overcome with weariness

John Calvin (1509-1564)

John Calvin

But when the pen is in his hand he has to write by itch and twitch, though certainly his itch and twitch are intimately conditioned by all his past itching and twitching, and by all his past theorizing about them.

John Ciardi (1916-1986)

John Ciardi

All political revolutions, not affected by foreign conquest, originate in moral revolutions. The subversion of established institutions is merely one consequence of the previous subversion of established opinions.

John Stuart Mill (1806-1873)

John Stuart Mill

Whoever makes two ears of corn, or two blades of grass to grow where only one grew before, deserves better of mankind, and does more essential service to his country than the whole race of politicians put together

Jonathan Swift (1667-1745)

Jonathan Swift

A lot of people say to me, ''Why did you kill Christ?'' ''I dunno... it was one of those parties, got out of hand, you know.'' ''We killed him because he didn't want to become a doctor, that's why we killed him.''

Lenny Bruce (1925-1966)

Every true man, sir, who is a little above the level of the beasts and plants does not live for the sake of living, without knowing how to live; but he lives so as to give a meaning and a value of his own to life.

Luigi Pirandello (1867-1936)
