him more. If you do him a good turn, you will find yourself disliking him less. - C. S. Lewis | Faith

mingled with all the hidden anxieties and little annoyances of actual living. Nothing is inherently
and invincibly young except spirit. And spirit can enter a human being perhaps better in the
quiet of old age and dwell there more undisturbed than in the turmoil of adventure. - George

When power leads man toward arrogance, poetry reminds him of his limitations. When power
narrows the areas of man's concern, poetry reminds him of the richness and diversity of his
experience. When power corrupts, poetry cleanses. For art establishes the basic human truths
which must serve as the touchstones of our judgement. The artist. . . faithful to his personal
vision of reality, becomes the last champion of the individual mind and sensibility against an
intrusive society and an offensive state. - John F. Kennedy | Art and the Artist Quotes
Now the trumpet summons us again - not as a call to bear arms, though arms we need; not as a
call to battle, though embattled we are; but a call to bear the burden of a long twilight struggle,
year in and year out, 'rejoicing in hope, patient in tribulation', a struggle against the common
enemies of man: tyranny, poverty, disease and war itself. - John F. Kennedy | Courage and
Bravery Quotes
The courage of life is often a less dramatic spectacle than the courage of a final moment; but it is

all morality. - John F. Kennedy | Courage and Bravery Quotes

Let the word go forth from this time and place, to friend and foe alike, that the torch has been
passed to a new generation of Americans - born in this century, tempered by war, disciplined by
a hard and bitter peace, proud of our ancient heritage - and unwilling to witness or permit the
slow undoing of those human rights to which this nation has always been committed, and to
which we are committed today at home and around the world. Let every nation know, whether it
wishes us well or ill, that we shall pay any price, bear any burden, meet any hardship, support
any friend, oppose any foe to assure the survival and the success of liberty. All this will not be
finished in the first 100 days. Nor will it be finished in the first 1,000 days, nor in the life of this
administration, nor even perhaps in our lifetime on this planet. But let us begin. Now the
trumpet summons us again - not as a call to bear arms, though arms we need - not as a call to
battle, though embattled we are - but a call to bear the burden of a long twilight struggle, year in
and year out, "rejoicing in hope, patient in tribulation"- a struggle against the common enemies
of man: tyranny, poverty, disease and war itself. And so, my fellow Americans, ask not what your
country can do for you - ask what you can do for your country . My fellow citizens of the world:
ask not what America will do for you, but what together we can do for the freedom of man. -

You commit a sin of omission if you do not utilize all the power that is within you. All men have

lived at all. - Oliver Wendell Holmes | Ability and Achievement Quotes

Quotes
I confess that altruistic and cynically selfish talk seem to me about equally unreal. With all
humility, I think 'whatsoever thy hand findeth to do, do it with thy might,' infinitely more
important than the vain attempt to love one's neighbour as one's self. If you want to hit a bird on
the wing you must have all your will in focus, you must not be thinking about yourself, and
equally, you must not be thinking about your neighbour; you must be living with your eye on
that bird. Every achievement is a bird on the wing. - Oliver Wendell Holmes | Ability and
Achievement Quotes

Thou, oh my country, hast thy foolish ways, Too apt to purr at every stranger's praise. - Oliver
Wendell Holmes | America and Americans Quotes
If I had a formula for bypassing trouble, I wouldn't pass it around. Wouldn't be doing anybody a
favour. Trouble creates a capacity to handle it. I don't say embrace trouble. That's as bad as
treating it as an enemy. But I do say, meet it as a friend, for you'll see a lot of it and had better be
on speaking terms with it. - Oliver Wendell Holmes | Anxiety and Worry Quotes

The most stringent protection of free speech would not protect a man in falsely shouting fire in a
theatre and causing a panic... The question in every case is whether the words used are used in
such circumstances and are of such a nature as to create a clear and present danger that they
will bring about the substantive evils that Congress has a right to prevent. - Oliver Wendell
Holmes | Liberty and Human Rights Quotes
Life is action and passion; therefore, it is required of a man that he should share the passion and

least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls
who know neither victory nor defeat. - Theodore Roosevelt | Failures and Mistakes Quotes

No government ought to be without censors; and where the press is free, no one ever will. -
Thomas Jefferson | Censorship Quotes
When, in the course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the
political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume among the powers of
the earth the separate and equal station to which the laws of nature and of nature's God entitle
them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes
which impel them to the separation. We hold these truths to be self-evident; that all men are
created equal; that they are endowed by their creator with certain unalienable rights; that
among these are life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness; that to secure these rights,
governments are instituted among men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the
governed; that whenever any form of government becomes destructive to these ends, it is the
right of the people to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new government, laying its
foundation on such principles, and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem
most likely to effect their safety and happiness. - Thomas Jefferson | Government and Rule
Quotes
Every man wishes to pursue his occupation and to enjoy the fruits of his labours and the produce
of his property in peace and safety, and with the least possible expense. When these things are

I think I could turn and live with animals, they are so placid and self-contain'd, I stand and look at
them long and long, They do not sweat and whine about their condition, They do not lie awake
in the dark and weep for their sins, They do not make me sick discussing their duty to God, Not
one is dissatisfied, not one is demented with the mania of owning things. Not one kneels to
another, nor to his kind that liveth thousands of years ago, Not one is respectable or unhappy
over the whole earth. - Walt Whitman | Animals Quotes
