Famous Quotes of the day

“To wonder at beauty,
Stand guard over truth,
Look up to the noble,
Decide for the good,


This surely will lead me
To purpose in living,
To right in my actions,
To peace in my feeling,
To clarity in my thinking,


And to teach me to trust
In love and compassion
For all that there is
In the wide, wide world,
And in the depths of my soul.”

Rather, the citizenry, infused with fear and blinded with patriotism, will offer up all of their rights unto the leader, and gladly so. How do I know? For this is what I have done. And I am Caesar.”
