Results from Classic Quotes:

Whenever I hear people talking about "liberal ideas," I am always astounded that men should love to fool themselves with empty sounds. An idea should never be liberal; it must be vigorous, positive, and without loose ends so that it may fulfill its divine mission and be productive. The proper place for liberality is in the realm of the emotions.: Johann Wolfgang von Goethe (1749 - 1832)
Hypocrisy can afford to be magnificent in its promises; for never intending to go beyond promises; it costs nothing.: Edmund Burke (1729 - 1797)

If thou desire the love of God and man, be humble, for the proud heart, as it loves none but itself, is beloved of none but itself. Humility enforces where neither virtue, nor strength, nor reason can prevail.: Francis Quarles (1592 - 1644)
My country owes me nothing. It gave me, as it gives every boy and girl, a chance. It gave me schooling, independence of action, opportunity for service and honor. In no other land could a boy from a country village, without inheritance or influential friends, look forward with unbounded hope.: Herbert Hoover (1874 - 1964)
Every mile is two in winter.: George Herbert (1593 - 1633)

The peril of every fine faculty is the delight of playing with it for pride. Talent is commonly developed at the expense of character, and the greater it grows, the more is the mischief. Talent is mistaken for genius, a dogma or system for truth, ambition for greatest, ingenuity for poetry, sensuality for art.: Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803 - 1882)
The principle of liberty and equality, if coupled with mere selfishness, will make men only devils, each trying to be independent that he may fight only for his own interest. And here is the need of religion and its power, to bring in the principle of benevolence and love to men.: John Randolph (1773 - 1833)
We must have infinite faith in each other. If we have not, we must never let it leak out that we have not.: Henry David Thoreau (1817 - 1862)
Every great and commanding moment in the annals of the world is the triumph of some enthusiasm.: Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803 - 1882)
