As soon as you trust yourself, you will know how to live.
You may be deceived if you trust too much, but you will live in torment if you do not trust enough.
You may be deceived if you trust too much, but you will live in torment if you don't trust enough.
Trust men and they will be true to you; treat them greatly and they will show themselves great.
Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it.
Truth is mighty and will prevail. [Lat., Magna est veritas et praevalebit.]
Learning how to access a continuity of common sense can be one of your most efficient accomplishments in this decade. Can you imagine "common sense" surpassing science and technology in the quest to unravel the human stress mess? In time, society will have a new measure for confirming truth. It's inside the people-not at the mercy of current scientific methodology. Let scientists facilitate discovery, but not invent your inner truth. Robert Kennedy The greatest truth must be recognition that in every man, in every child is the potential for greatness. -Doc Childre.
Strike an average between what a woman thinks of her husband a month before she marries him and what she thinks of him a year afterward, and you will have the truth about him. -H.L. Mencken.

She bids you on the wanton rushes lay you down And rest your gentle head upon her lap, And she will sing the song that pleaseth you And on your eyelids crown the god of sleep, Charming your brood with pleasing heaviness, Making such difference 'twixt wake and sleep As is the difference betwixt day and night The hour before the heavenly-harnessed team Begins his golden progress in the east.
Any excuse will serve a tyrant.

Let us endeavor to live that when we come to die even the undertaker will be sorry.
If you optimize everything, you will always be unhappy.
When bad men combine, the good must associate; else they will fall, one by one, an unpitied sacrifice in a contemptible struggle.
Our Union is river, lake, ocean, and sky: Man breaks not the medal, when God cuts the die! Though darkened with sulphur, though cloven with steel, The blue arch will brighten, the waters will heal!
We are one people and will act as one. [Ger., Wir sind ein Volk, und einig wollen wir handeln.]
All inquires carry with them some element of risk. There is no guarantee that the universe will conform to our predispositions.
The stars which shone over Babylon and the stable in Bethlehem still shine as brightly over the Empire State Building and your front yard today. They perform their cycles with the same mathematical precision, and they will continue to affect each thing on earth, including man, as long as the earth exists.
Whatever you are from nature, keep to it; never desert your own line of talent. Be what nature intended you for, and you will succeed; be anything else, and you will be ten thousands times worse than nothing.
I'm worried that the universe will soon need replacing. It's not holding a charge.
There is a theory which states that if ever anybody discovers exactly what the Universe is for and why it is here, it will instantly disappear and be replaced by something even more bizarre and inexplicable. There is another theory which states that this has already happened.
America was targeted for attack because we are the brightest beacon for freedom and opportunity in the world, and no one will keep that light from shining.
