It clearly appears that there are no races in the world, however rude, uncultivated, barbarous, gross, or almost brutal they may be, who cannot be persuaded and brought to a good order and way of life, and made domestic, mild and tractable, provided . . . the method that is proper and natural to men is used; that is, love and gentleness and kindness.

Bartolome de las Casas

Father, may my song today be a sweet sound in Your ears-even if in Yours alone. Amen.

Aiden Wilson Tozer

Winds are advertisements of all they touch, however much or little we may be able to read them; telling their wanderings even by their scents alone.

John Muir

Whatever may be the temporary applause of men, or the expressions of public opinion, it may be asserted without fear of contradiction, that no true and permanent fame can be founded, except in labors which promote the happiness of mankind.

Charles Sumner

The belief of immortality is impressed upon all men, and all men act under an impression of it, however they may talk, and though, perhaps, they may be scarcely sensible of it.

Samuel Johnson

Good men sometimes make mistakes. A man of integrity will honestly face and correct his mistakes, and that is an example we can respect. Sometimes men try but fail. Not all worthy objectives are realized despite one’s honest and best efforts. True manhood is not always measured by the fruits of one’s labors but by the labors themselves–by one’s striving.

D. Todd Christofferson

It's rude to not try and look up-to-date. Is rude the right word? Yes! It's rude - rude to other people.

Nicholas Haslam

However different men's fortunes may be, there is always something or other that balances the ill and the good, and makes all even at last.

Francois Alexandre Frederic, duc de la Rochefoucauld-Liancourt

Think me not unkind and rude That I walk alone in grove and glen; I go to the god of the wood To fetch his word to men.

Ralph Waldo Emerson

The fruits of your labors may be reaped two generations from now. Trust, even when you don't see the results.

Henri Nouwen

However good you may be you have faults; however dull you may be you can find out what some of them are, and however slight they may be you had better make some - not too painful, but patient efforts to get rid of them.

John Ruskin

I don't really get heckled! I think it's because I might burst into song at any moment and even rude people have a weird respect for not interrupting singing!

Rachel Parris

I admit I have no forgiveness. If anyone is ever rude to me, however much they may try to make up, I can't bring myself to re-establish the old [connection]. And when they drop me, I have a sense of relief.

Khushwant Singh

Perhaps, but you would not exist without a woman, would you? However little use you may find us, we are cleverer and more determined and more patient than men. Men may be stronger, but it is women who endure.

Cassandra Clare

When you are alone, you have all the time in the world to practice whistling like a bird. When there is no one in the world you can turn to, a horse or .even a lion may give you companionship. When you don't know if there is anyone in the world like you, you seek contact with something living however you can

Jean M. Auel

The tree of life knows that, whatever happens, the warm music spinning around it will never stop. However much death may come, however much blood may flow, the music will dance men and women as long as the air breaths them and the land plows and loves them.

Eduardo Galeano
