Falsehood is never better than truth, theft better than honesty, treachery better than loyalty, cowardice better than courage.

Harry Emerson Fosdick

Granted the endless variations of moral customs, still the essential standards persist. As in a scientific laboratory, all else may change but the standards are unalterable- disinterested love of truth, fidelity to facts, accuracy in measurement, exactness of verification-so, in life as a whole, the towering ethical criteria remain unshaken. Falsehood is never better than truth, theft better than than honesty, treachery better than loyalty, cowardice better than courage.

Harry Emerson Fosdick

A pretty girl is better than a plain one. A leg is better than an arm. A bedroom is better than a living room. An arrival is better that a departure. A birth is better than a death. A chase is better than a chat. A dog is better than a landscape. A kitten is better than a dog. A baby is better than a kitten. A kiss is better than a baby. A pratfall is better than anything.

Preston Sturges

Catherine Wilson

Courage was America's watchword, but a courage of the body rather than of the soul - physical courage, not moral.

Mary Roberts Rinehart

Teacher is not a great popular person. They teach what they know and make people better than them. Teacher must create a student better than him or her. Otherwise that person is not a teacher but a preacher. There are tons and thousands of preachers.

Harbhajan Singh Yogi

If you are just having unusual experiences and feeling special–especially if you feel better than everybody else–I think that is a dangerous thing.

Charles Tart

Having no unusual coincidence is far more unusual than any coincidence could possibly be.

Isaac Asimov

I was popular at some times and not so popular at other times. But what mattered was trying to solve problems and deal with circumstances. Some of which I was able to anticipate. Some of which caught us totally by surprise.

George W. Bush

Popular congresses are the only means to achieve popular democracy. Any system of government other than popular congresses is undemocratic.
