Learning, each leaning on the other for their mutual and surest support. -James MadisonThe liberty of the individual must be thus far limited; he must not make himself

a nuisance to other people. -John Stuart MillRightful liberty is unobstructed action according to our will within limits drawn around us by the equal rights of others.

it would leave the minds, of a number of men, poor shrunken things, full of melancholy and indisposition, and unpleasing to themselves? -Francis BaconBut it is not the lie that passeth through the mind, but the lie that sinketh in, and settleth in it, that doth the hurt; such as we spake of before. -FrancisBaconSometimes it is hard to keep going when you know that the sand is running out of

Life is fiction in disguise. -James MerrillI see life as so shapely, so orderly. I look at our left hand and our right, I see us as works of art. -Sharon OldsTo get the most out of life, we must learn to treasure mundane events, too.

Noticethe play of your muscles, the floor's appearance, the sound the broom bristles make, etc. -Stephen Rechtschaffen, M.D.Above all, we cannot afford not to live in the present. He is blessed over all mortals who loses no moment of the passing life in remembering the past. -HenryDavid ThoreauWithin every atom, every sub-division of nature, there could be found a certainamount of primitive intelligence.

Do you mean to say that they do this without intelligence? When they get together in certain forms they make animals of the lower orders. Finally, they combinetotal intelligence of all the atoms. -Thomas Edison
