A word is not a crystal, transparent and unchanged; it is the skin of a living thought and may vary greatly in color and content according to the circumstances and time in which it is used.
Oliver Wendell Holmes Jr.
Two things fill the mind with ever-increasing wonder and awe, the more often and the more intensely the mind of thought is drawn to them the starry heavens above me and the moral law within me.
Immanuel Kant
Every time you say "Lord, have mercy on my child”, your child will receive one good thought from Christ. The more you pray, the more good thoughts will be acquired by your child.
Porphyrios of Kafsokalyvia
Duty is that mode of action which constitutes the best application of the capacity of the individual to the general advantage. Right is the claim of the individual to his share of the benefit arising from his neighbors' discharge of their several duties.
William Godwin
