From Chaim Herzog
I do not bring forgiveness with me, nor forgetfulness. The only ones who can forgive are dead; the living have no right to forget.
From Henry Ward Beecher
I can forgive, but I cannot forget, is only another way of saying, I will not forgive. Forgiveness ought to be like a cancelled note - torn in two, and burned up, so that it never can be shown against one.
From Thomas Fuller
He that cannot forgive others breaks the bridge over which he must pass himself; for every man has need to be forgiven.
From Saint Augustine
Forgiveness is the remission of sins. For it is by this that what has been lost, and was found, is saved from being lost again.
From Hannah More
Forgiveness is the economy of the heart... forgiveness saves the expense of anger, the cost of hatred, the waste of spirits.
From Dag Hammarskjold
Forgiveness is the answer to the child's dream of a miracle by which what is broken is made whole again, what is soiled is made clean again.
From Kurt Cobain
If you die you're completely happy and your soul somewhere lives on. I'm not afraid of dying. Total peace after death, becoming someone else is the best hope I've got.
From Kurt Cobain
I was looking for something a lot heavier, yet melodic at the same time. Something different from heavy metal, a different attitude.
From Kurt Cobain
I really haven't had that exciting of a life. There are a lot of things I wish I would have done, instead of just sitting around and complaining about having a boring life. So I pretty much like to make it up. I'd rather tell a story about somebody else.
From G M Travelyan
Education... has produced a vast population able to read but unable to distinguish what is worth reading.
From Gilbert K Chesterton
Education is simply the soul of a society as it passes from one generation to another.
From John Dewey
Education is a social process. Education is growth. Education is, not a preparation for life; education is life itself.
From Henry David Thoreau
If one advances confidently in the direction of his dreams, and endeavors to live the life which he has imagined, he will meet with success unexpected in common hours.
From Andre Breton
I have always been amazed at the way an ordinary observer lends so much more credence and attaches so much more importance to waking events than to those occurring in dreams... Man... is above all the plaything of his memory.
From Anais Nin
Dreams pass into the reality of action. From the actions stems the dream again; and this interdependence produces the highest form of living.
From T E Lawrence
All men dream, but not equally. Those who dream by night in the dusty recesses of their minds, wake in the day to find that it was vanity: but the dreamers of the day are dangerous men, for they may act on their dreams with open eyes, to make them possible.
From Napoleon Bonaparte
If they want peace, nations should avoid the pin-pricks that precede cannon shots.
From Dwight D Eisenhower
I think that people want peace so much that one of these days government had better get out of their way and let them have it.
From David Borenstein
One cannot subdue a man by holding back his hands. Lasting peace comes not from force.
From William Shakespeare
A peace is of the nature of a conquest; for then both parties nobly are subdued, and neither party loser.
From R D Laing
We live in a moment of history where change is so speeded up that we begin to see the present only when it is already disappearing.
From Shunryu Suzuki
Without accepting the fact that everything changes, we cannot find perfect composure. But unfortunately, although it is true, it is difficult for us to accept it. Because we cannot accept the truth of transience, we suffer.
From Carl T Rowan
We emphasize that we believe in change because we were born of it, we have lived by it, we prospered and grew great by it. So the status quo has never been our god, and we ask no one else to bow down before it.
From Francis Bacon
Things alter for the worse spontaneously, if they be not altered for the better designedly.
From John A Simon Sr
If you're in a bad situation, don't worry it'll change. If you're in a good situation, don't worry it'll change.
From Arthur C Clarke
It is not easy to see how the more extreme forms of nationalism can long survive when men have seen the Earth in its true perspective as a single small globe against the stars.
From Albert Einstein
Heroism on command, senseless violence, and all the loathsome nonsense that goes by the name of patriotism - how passionately I hate them!
From Blaise Pascal
Can anything be stupider than that a man has the right to kill me because he lives on the other side of a river and his ruler has a quarrel with mine, though I have not quarrelled with him?
From George William Curtis
A man's country is not a certain area of land, of mountains, rivers, and woods, but it is a principle and patriotism is loyalty to that principle.
From Dalai Lama
It is very important to generate a good attitude, a good heart, as much as possible. From this, happiness in both the short term and the long term for both yourself and others will come.
From Kahlil Gibran
Work is love made visible. And if you cannot work with love but only with distaste, it is better that you should leave your work and sit at the gate of the temple and take alms of those who work with joy.
From John Dewey
To find out what one is fitted to do, and to secure an opportunity to do it, is the key to happiness.
From Richard Nelson Bolles
There is a vast world of work out there in this country, where at least 111 million people are employed in this country alone - many of whom are bored out of their minds. All day long.
From Henry Ford
There is joy in work. There is no happiness except in the realization that we have accomplished something.
From Ronald Reagan
The taxpayer - that's someone who works for the federal government but doesn't have to take the civil service examination.
From Robert Frost
The brain is a wonderful organ; it starts working the moment you get up in the morning and does not stop until you get into the office.
