"It was all right to talk about it. They made plans. They had a moment's vision, a fleeting dream. But in the end, some lack in their moral fiber, some gnawing, nibbling fear held them back. They never started. They stayed where they were. They dropped back. They failed somehow to release within themselves that power which lies in every individual, and is released only when he starts forward in a straight line for the object about which he has dreamed. The man who never starts, never feels that sense of power."	Ray Dickinson
"Solon used to say that speech was the image of actions;... that laws were like cobwebs, --for that if any trifling or powerless thing fell into them, they held it fast; while if it were something weightier, it broke through them and was off."	Laertius Diogenes
"Desperation is sometimes as powerful an inspirer as genius."	Benjamin "Dizzy" Disraeli

"Education is the state-controlled manufacture of echoes."	(George) Norman Douglas
"Knowledge is power and enthusiasm pulls the switch."	Steve Droke
"Our country was founded on a distrust of government. Our founding fathers gave power to the people to keep an eye on government. So when politicians say, Trust me, they're actually being very un-American."	David Duchovny
"Gun control has not worked in D.C. The only people who have guns are criminals. We have the strictest gun laws in the nation and one of the highest murder rates. It's quicker to pull your Smith & Wesson than to dial 911 if you're being robbed."	Lowell Duckett
"The corporation has evolved to serve the interests of whoever controls it, at the expense of whoever does not."	William Dugger
"I cannot always control what goes on outside. But I can always control what goes on inside."	Wayne W(alter) Dyer
"The soul is created in a place between Time and Eternity: with its highest powers it touches Eternity, with its lower Time."	Johannes "Meister" Eckhart
"To be good, we must do good; and by doing good we take a sure means of being good, as the use and exercise of the muscles increase their power."	Tryon Edwards
"The great end of education is to discipline rather than to furnish the mind; to train it to the use of its own powers, rather than fill it with the accumulation of others."	Tryon Edwards
"The attempt to combine wisdom and power has only rarely been successful and then only for a short while."	Albert Einstein
"The unleashed power of the atom has changed everything save our modes of thinking, and we thus drift toward unparalled catastrophes."	Albert Einstein
"We scientists, whose tragic destiny it has been to make the methods of annihilation ever more gruesome and more effective, must consider it our solemn and transcendent duty to do all in our power in preventing these weapons from being used for the brutal purpose for which they were invented."	Albert Einstein
"Everything is determined, the beginning as well as the end, by forces over which we have no control. It is determined for insects as well as for the stars. Human beings, vegetables or cosmic dust, we all dance to a mysterious tune, intoned in the distance by an invisible piper."	Albert Einstein
"Any power must be an enemy of mankind which enslaves the individual by terror and force, whether it arises under the Fascist or the Communist flag. All that is valuable in human society depends upon the opportunity for development accorded to the individual."	Albert Einstein
"As long as there are sovereign nations possessing great power, war is inevitable."	Albert Einstein
"My religion consists of a humble admiration of the unlimitable superior who reveals Himself in the slight details we are able to perceive with our frail and feeble minds. That deeply emotional conviction of the presence of a superior reasoning power, which is revealed in the incomprehensible universe, forms my idea of God."	Albert Einstein
