― Mark Twain

“As the family goes, so goes the nation and so goes the whole world in which we live.”
― John Paul II

“If there is no struggle, there is no progress. Those who profess to favor freedom, and yet depreciate agitation, are men who want crops without plowing up the ground. They want rain without thunder and lightning. They want the ocean without the awful roar of its many waters. This struggle may be a moral one; or it may be a physical one; or it may be both moral and physical; but it must be a struggle. Power concedes nothing without a demand. It never did and it never will.”
― Frederick Douglass, Frederick Douglass: Selected Speeches and Writings

“Good friends, good books, and a sleepy conscience: this is the ideal life.”
― Mark Twain
