Thomas Hughes
We have preserved the book, and the book has preserved us.
David Ben-Gurion
Why is it so hard to get people to study the Scriptures? Common sense tells us what revelation commands: 'Faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God'--'Search the Scriptures'--'Be ready to give to every one a reason of the hope that is in you.' These are the words of the inspired writers, and these injunctions are confirmed by praising those who obey the admonition. And yet, for all that we have the Bible in our houses, we are ignorant of its contents. No wonder that so many Christians know so little about what Christ actually taught; no wonder that they are so mistaken about the faith that they profess.
William Wilberforce
The (Bible) story is much more powerful as Truth than as metaphor.
John Kasich
The book in my hands became my trusted companion. What was written there had so much power that it forced me to stop avoiding myself, to make my own choices as well. And through some sort of vital intuition, I understood that I had a long way to go, that it would bring about a profound transformation within me, even though I could not determine it's essence, or its scope. In that book there was a voice, and behind that voice threw was an intelligence that sought to establish contact with me. It was not merely the company of written words that distiller my boredom. It was a living voice, speaking. To me.
Ingrid Betancourt
Fear envelops bones like new skin,envelops blood with night’s skin,the earth moves beneath the soles of the feet -it is not your hair but the terror in your head,like long hair made of vertical nails,and what you see are not shattered streets,but rather, within you, your own crushed walls,your frustrated infinity, again the city comescrashing down: in your silence, only water’s threatis heard, and in the waterdrowned horses gallop through your death.
Pablo Neruda
We may live without poetry, music, and art;tWe may live without conscience, and live without heart;tWe may live without friends; we may live without books;tBut civilized man cannot live without cooks.tHe may live without books,—what is knowledge but grieving?t 20He may live without hope,—what is hope but deceiving?tHe may live without love,—what is passion but pining?tBut where is the man that can live without dining?
Edward Robert Bulwer-Lytton
There is also a tradition about Socrates. He liked walking, it is recorded, until a late hour of the evening, and when someone asked him why he did this he said he was trying to work up an appetite for his dinner.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
There are neither raptures, nor ecstasies, nor transports of bliss in the pleasures of the table; but they make up in duration what they lose in intensity, and are distinguished above all by the merit of inclining us towards all the other pleasures of life, or at least of consoling us for the loss of them.
Jean Anthelme Brillat-Savarin
There exists a bastard cuisine that is too often assumed to be real French cooking.
Richard Olney
he who feeds you, controls you
Thomas Sankara
Seating themselves on the greensward, they eat while the corks fly and there is talk, laughter and merriment, and perfect freedom, for the universe is their drawing room and the sun their lamp. Besides, they have appetite, Nature's special gift, which lends to such a meal a vivacity unknown indoors, however beautiful the surroundings.
Jean Anthelme Brillat-Savarin
You can tell a lot about a fellow's character by his way of eating jellybeans.

Barack Obama
The great enemy of truth is very often not the lie--deliberate, contrived and dishonest--but the myth--persistent, persuasive and unrealistic. Too often we hold fast to the cliches of our forebears. We subject all facts to a prefabricated set of interpretations. We enjoy the comfort of opinion without the discomfort of th
John F Kennedy
If you tell a big enough lie and tell it frequently enough, it will be believed.
Adolf Hitler
My parents never projected their dreams onto me. If they hoped I would be a great pitcher, or political figure, or artist (no chance), they never told me about it. Their view of parenting was to offer love and encourage me to chart my own path.
George W. Bush
If you can give your son or daughet only one gift, let it be enthusiasm.
Bruce Barton
My father did not teach me how to live. He lived and let me watch him do it.
Clarence Kelland
We should never permit ourselves to do anything that we are not willing to see our children do. We should set them an example that we wish them to imitate.
Brigham Young
To gain the spiritual ascendancy over ourselves, and the influences with which we are surrounded, through a rigid course of self-discipline, is our first consideration, it is our first labor, before we can pave the way for our children to grow up without sin unto salvation.
Brigham Young
Misunderstanding arising from ignorance breeds fear, and fear remains the greatest enemy of peace.
Lester B. Pearson
The greater our knowledge increases the greater our ignorance unfolds.
John F Kennedy
The first objection to Darwinism is that it is only a guess and was never anything more. It is called a 'hypothesis,' but the word 'hypothesis,' though euphonious, dignified and high-sounding, is merely a scientific synonym for the old-fashioned word 'guess.' If Darwin had advanced his views as a guess they would not have survived for a year, but they have floated for half a century, buoyed up by the inflated word 'hypothesis.' When it is understood that “hypothesis” means 'guess,' people will inspect it more carefully before accepting it.
William Jennings Bryan
The only part of evolution in which any considerable interest is felt is evolution applied to man. A hypothesis in regard to the rocks and plant life does not affect the philosophy upon which one's life is built. Evolution applied to fish, birds and beasts would not materially affect man's view of his own responsibilities except as the acceptance of an unsupported hypothesis as to these would be used to support a similar hypothesis as to man. The evolution that is harmful—distinctly so—is the evolution that destroys man's family tree as taught by the Bible and makes him a descendant of the lower forms of life. This ... is a very vital matter.
William Jennings Bryan
Why, these men would destroy the Bible on evidence that would not convict a habitual criminal of a misdemeanor. They found a tooth in a sand pit in Nebraska with no other bones about it, and from that one tooth decided that it was the remains of the missing link. They have queer ideas about age too. They find a fossil and when they are asked how old it is they say they can't tell without knowing what rock it was in, and when they are asked how old the rock is they say they can't tell unless they know how old the fossil is.
William Jennings Bryan
Why should we subsidize intellectual curiosity?
Ronald Reagan
During almost fifteen centuries has the legal establishment of Christianity been on trial. What have been its fruits? More or less in all places, pride and indolence in the Clergy, ignorance and servility in the laity, in both, superstition, bigotry and persecution.
James Madison
His ignorance is encyclopedic.
Abba Eban
If ignorance is bliss, there should be more happy people.
Victor Cousin
Great things were going to happen in my life, and I had to do my part by preparing myself and being ready.
Ben Carson
The easiest way to be inscrutable is to be completely straightforward and honest. Then no one will be able to figure out what you’re up to.
George Hammond
Honesty is the great essential. It exalts the individual citizenship, and, without honesty, no man deserves the confidence of the people in private pursuit or in public office.
Warren G. Harding
What has to do with your ability to fall asleep is not caffeine. It’s having a clean conscience. I have a clean conscience so I can drink all the caffeine I want.
Bob Barr
Let's tell the truth. Mr. Reagan will raise taxes, and so will I. He won't tell you. I just did.
Walter Mondale
I speak my mind. If it offends some people, well, there's not much I can do about that. But I'm going to be honest. I'm going to continue to speak my mind, and that's who I am...
Jesse Ventura
I hold the maxim no less applicable to public than to private affairs, that honesty is always the best policy.
George Washington
Never separate the life you lead from the words you speak.
Paul Wellstone
If we are not ashamed to think it, we should not be ashamed to say it.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Greatness lies not in high or outstanding ability. It lies simply in the willingness to use what we have for others. The greater the `other people` dimension, the greater our personal `greatness`.
Chairman Mao
Well, in war, you can only be killed once. But in politics, many times.
Winston S. Churchill
Seek not greatness, but seek truth and you will find both.
Horace Mann
In reaffirming the greatness of our nation, we understand that greatness is never a given. It must be earned. Our journey has never been one of shortcuts or settling for less. It has not been the path for the faint-hearted, for those who prefer leisure over work, or seek only the pleasures of riches and fame. Rather, it has been the risk-takers, the doers, the makers of things -- some celebrated, but more often men and women obscure in their labor -- who have carried us up the long, rugged path towards prosperity and freedom.
Barack Obama
Good and great are seldom in the same man.
Winston S. Churchill
