Veni, vidi, vici Julius Caesar	added by lofreire 5 years ago
Death is an illusion, life is a dream and we are the creator of our own imagination. The present moment is the only moment available to us and is the doorway to all moments. Thích Nhất Hạnh	added by lofreire 5 years ago
I saw—with shut eyes, but acute mental vision—I saw the pale student of unhallowed arts kneeling beside the thing he had put together. I saw the hideous phantasm of a man stretched out, and then, on the working of some powerful engine, show signs of life and stir with an uneasy, half-vital motion. Frightful must it be, for supremely frightful would be the effect of any human endeavor to mock the stupendous mechanism of the Creator of the world. Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley	added by lofreire 5 years ago
You see things; and you say “Why?” But I dream things that never were; and I say “Why not?” George Bernard Shaw	added by lofreire 5 years ago
Chains are chains even if made of gold, they just tie you. Patrick Mahony	added by patrickmahony 5 years ago
Europeans will give up cars and coffee before their vacations. We’re talking about an acceleration outlook, which usually works well for stocks, especially those like Priceline that began the year with trough multiples. RBC Capital Markets analyst Mark Mahaney	added by Authors 5 years ago
I’m a hands-on operator, and I have a background in software. Right outside my door, they are building the site. There’s not a semicolon on any of our sites that isn’t A/B tested. ~ Darren Huston Darren Huston	added by Authors 5 years ago
The great rule of conduct for us, in regard to foreign nations, is in extending our commercial relations to have as little political connection as possible... Why, by interweaving our destiny with that of any part of Europe, entangle our peace and prosperity in the toils of European ambition, rivalships, interest, humor, or caprice?... It is our true policy to steer clear of permanent alliances with any portion of the foreign world. George Washington	added by Normando 5 years ago
This provision (the 4th Amendment) speaks for itself. Its plain object is to secure the perfect enjoyment of that great right of the common law, that a man's house shall be his own castle, privileged against all civil and military intrusion. Justice Joseph Story	added by Normando 5 years ago
Freedom is not merely the opportunity to do as one pleases; neither is it merely the opportunity to choose between set alternatives. Freedom is, first of all, the chance to formulate the available choices, to argue over them -- and then, the opportunity to choose. C. Wright Mills	added by Normando 5 years ago
Seduction is a magical art form that women use to conquer men. RJ Intindola	added by RJ Intindola 5 years ago
Be beyond average, dream beyond average, think beyond average and success will find you. Aurora Berill	added by auroraberill 5 years ago
We've always been ready for female superheroes. Because women want to be them and men want to do them. Famke Janssen	added by Normando 5 years ago
Avoid constantly trying to adapt to situations, people, and other circumstances that have no value to your future. The phenomenon of always attempting to please and alter behavior is more likely to be unsuccessful then to enhance your life. Adapt by continuing to learn and improve your knowledge RJ Intindola	added by RJ Intindola 5 years ago
Silence is often the ultimate and most evident lie. RJ Intindola	added by RJ Intindola 5 years ago
With respect to the new Government, nine or ten States will probably have accepted by the end of this month. The others may oppose it. Virginia, I think, will be of this number. Besides other objections of less moment, she [Virginia] will insist on annexing a bill of rights to the new Constitution, i.e. a bill wherein the Government shall declare that, 1. Religion shall be free; 2. Printing presses free; 3. Trials by jury preserved in all cases; 4. No monopolies in commerce; 5. No standing army. Upon receiving this bill of rights, she will probably depart from her other objections; and this bill is so much to the interest of all the States, that I presume they will offer it, and thus our Constitution be amended, and our Union closed by the end of the present year. Thomas Jefferson	added by Normando 5 years ago
Unfortunately, over the course of this century Congress has largely ignored the constitutional limits on its power. And the courts, especially after Franklin Roosevelt threatened to pack the Supreme Court with six additional members, have only abetted the resulting growth of government by fashioning constitutional doctrines that have no basis whatever in the Constitution. As a consequence, many of the programs Congress oversees today are without constitutional foundation, having resulted from acts that Congress had no authority. Roger Pilon	added by Normando 5 years ago
When libertarian moral theory is combined with economic theory a compelling conception of the good society emerges. Lansing Pollock	added by Normando 5 years ago
Don't forget that pure democracy is a form of collectivism -- it readily sacrifices individual rights to majority wishes. Since it involves no constitutional bill of rights, or at least, no working and effective one, the majority-of-the-moment can and does vote away the rights of the minority-of-the-moment, even of a single individual. This has been called 'mob rule,' the 'tyranny of the majority' and many other pejorative names. It is one of the greatest threats to liberty, the reason why America's founding fathers wrote so much so disparagingly of pure democracy. Bert Rand	added by Normando 5 years ago
If the Constitution is adopted the Union will be in fact and in theory an association of States of a Confederacy. Alexander Hamilton	added by Normando 5 years ago
Every culture and every religion of what we call the civilized world carries, in one form or another, a mythos or story about a time in the past or future when humans lived or will live in peace and harmony. Whether it's referred to as Valhalla or Eden, Shambala or 'A Thousand Years of Peace,' the Satya Yuga or Jannat, stories of past or coming times of paradise go hand-in-hand with hierarchical cultures. Such prophecies were clearly in the minds of America's Founders when they first discussed integrating Greek ideas of democracy, Roman notions of a republic, Masonic utopian ideals, and the Iroquois Federation's constitutionally organized egalitarian society, which was known to Jefferson, Washington, Adams, and Franklin. The creation of the United States of America brought into the world a dramatic new experiment in how people could live together in a modern state. Thom Hartmann	added by Normando 5 years ago
No other theory is adequate to explain or comprehend the Declaration of Independence. It is the product of the spiritual insight of the people. We live in an age of science and of abounding accumulation of material things. These did not create our Declaration. Our Declaration created them. The things of the spirit come first. Unless we cling to that, all our material prosperity, overwhelming though it may appear, will turn to a barren sceptre in our grasp. If we are to maintain the great heritage which has been bequeathed to us, we must be like-minded as the fathers who created it. We must not sink into a pagan materialism. We must cultivate the reverence which they had for the things that are holy. We must follow the spiritual and moral leadership which they showed. We must keep replenished, that they may glow with a more compelling flame, the altar fires before which they worshiped. Calvin Coolidge	added by Normando 5 years ago
Let the Fourth of July always be a reminder that here in this land, for the first time, it was decided that man is born with certain God-given rights; that government is only a convenience created and managed by the people, with no powers of its own except those voluntarily granted to it by the people. We sometimes forget that great truth, and we never should. Happy Fourth of July. President Ronald Reagan	added by Normando 5 years ago
Being a great leader requires several attributes. Leadership includes both rewarding and difficult attributes. You must possess the strength to make tough decisions that may isolate you for a period. And yet, have empathy and understanding of others. You must be able to listen to alternatives regarding your decisions and seriously consider them. If you practice from both a standpoint of strength and compassion, people may not always agree with your decisions, but they will respect you. RJ Intindola	added by RJ Intindola 5 years ago
