Never explain - your friends do not need it and your enemies will not believe you anyway.

Elbert Hubbard

[Duke of Buckingham]

The world is a fine place and worth the fighting for and I hate very much to leave it.

It is difficult to violently suppress people in the long run, as the example of the Soviet Union and the Eastern European countries has shown.

Dalai Lama


I would heartily welcome the union of East and West provided it is not based on brute force.

Mahatma Gandhi


In the Soviet Union, capitalism triumphed over communism. In this country, capitalism triumphed over democracy.

Fran Lebowitz


At the innermost core of all loneliness is a deep and powerful yearning for union with one's lost self.

Brendan Francis


Anyone who doesn't regret the passing of the Soviet Union has no heart. Anyone who wants it restored has no brains.

Vladimir Putin


If the Union is once severed, the line of separation will grow wider and wider, and the controversies which are now debated and settled in the halls of legislation will then be tried in fields of battle and determined by the sword.

Andrew Jackson


Love is union with somebody, or something, outside oneself, under the condition of retaining the separateness and integrity of one's own self.

Erich Fromm

[Duke of Buckingham]

To enjoy good health, to bring true happiness to one's family, to bring peace to all, one must first discipline and control one's own mind. If a man can control his mind he can find the way to Enlightenment, and all wisdom and virtue will naturally come to him.

Buddha


It is the mark of an educated mind to be able to entertain a thought without accepting it.

Aristotle

For a people who are free, and who mean to remain so, a well-organized and armed militia is their best security.

Thomas Jefferson

[Duke of Buckingham]

I know of no safe depository of the ultimate powers of the society but the people themselves; and if we think them not enlightened enough to exercise their control with a wholesome discretion, the remedy is not to take it from them but to inform their discretion.

Thomas Jefferson

[Duke of Buckingham]

“Sometimes even to live is an act of courage.”

― Seneca

[Duke of Buckingham]

Do not take life too seriously. You will never get out of it alive.

Elbert Hubbard


Here is the test to find whether your mission on Earth is finished: if you're alive, it isn't.

Richard Bach

[Duke of Buckingham]

Love has no age, no limit; and no death.

John Galsworthy
