A. C. Benson
I am sure it is one's duty as a teacher to try to show boys that no opinions, no tastes, no emotions are worth much unless they are one's own. I suffered acutely as a boy from the lack of being shown this.

Penelope Fitzgerald
It's very good for an idea to be commonplace. The important thing is that a new idea should develop out of what is already there so that it soon becomes an old acquaintance. Old acquaintances aren't by any means always welcome, but at least one can't be mistaken as to who or what they are.

Edward Bulwer-Lytton
Destiny is but a phrase of the weak human heart - the dark apology for every error. The strong and virtuous admit no destiny. On earth conscience guides; in heaven God watches. And destiny is but the phantom we invoke to silence the one and dethrone the other.

Martin Luther King Jr., A Christmas Sermon for Peace on Dec 24, 1967
I’ve seen too much hate to want to hate, myself, and every time I see it, I say to myself, hate is too great a burden to bear. Somehow we must be able to stand up against our most bitter opponents and say:”We shall match your capacity to inflict suffering by our capacity to endure suffering. We will meet your physical force with soul force. Do to us what you will and we will still love you.... But be assured that we’ll wear you down by our capacity to suffer, and one day we will win our freedom. We will not only win freedom for ourselves; we will appeal to your heart and conscience that we will win you in the process, and our victory will be a double victory.

A man does not have to be an angel in order to be saint.

Carl Sagan
Imagination will often carry us to worlds that never were. But without it we go nowhere.

Euripides
Whoso neglects learning in his youth, Loses the past and is dead for the future.

Samuel Smiles
An intense anticipation itself transforms possibility into reality our desires being often but precursors of the things which we are capable of performing.

George Aiken
If we were to wake up some morning and find that everyone was the same race, creed and color, we would find some other cause for prejudice by noon.

Sextus Propertius, Elegies
Let each man pass his days in that wherein his skill is greatest.
