To see the earth as we now see it, small and blue and beautiful in that eternal silence where it floats is to see ourselves as riders on the earth together, brothers on that bright loveliness in the unending night brothers who see now they are truly brothers.

Thomas Carlyle
Under all speech that is good for anything there lies a silence that is better. Silence is deep as eternity speech is shallow as Time.
Benjamin Franklin
If you would relish food, labor for it before you take it; if you enjoy clothing, pay for it before you wear it; if you would sleep soundly, take a clear conscience to bed with you.
Justice Felix Frankfurter
If one man can be allowed to determine for himself what is law, every man can. That means first chaos, then tyranny. Legal process is an essential part of the democratic process.
Phaedrus
Give time to your friends, leisure to your wife, relax your mind, give rest to your body, so that you may the better fulfil your accustomed occupation.
Khalil Gibran
That deed which in our guilt we today call weakness, will appear tomorrow as an essential link in the complete chain of man.
Clarence Day
Father expected a great deal of God. He did not actually accuse God of inefficiency, but when he prayed his tone was loud and angry, like that of a dissatisfied guest in a carelessly managed hotel.
Eleanor Roosevelt
The most important thing in any relationship is not what you get but what you give…….. In any case, the giving of love is an education in itself.
Francis Bowes Sayre
Humanity cannot go forward, civilizations cannot advance. Except as the philosophy of force is replaced by that of human brotherhood.
Peter Marshall
Give to us clear vision that we may know where to stand and what to stand for because unless we stand for something, we shall fall for anything.
Abraham Lincoln
I do the very best I know how the very best I can; and I mean to keep doing so until the end. If the end brings me out all right, what is said against me won’t amount to any thing. If the end brings me out wrong, ten angels swearing I was right would make no difference.
Christopher Wren
Architecture has its political use; public buildings being the ornaments of a country; it establishes a Nation, draws People and commerce; makes the People love their native country, which Passion is the original of all great Actions in a Common wealth. Architecture aims at Eternity.
