Notable Quotable 237
Rest when you're weary. Refresh and renew yourself, your body, your mind, your spirit. Then get back to work.
- Ralph Marston
If the political truths stated or approximated by Machiavelli were widely known by men, the success of tyranny and all the other forms of oppressive political rule would become much less likely.
A deeper freedom would be possible in society than Machiavelli himself believed attainable.
- James Burnham
We must accept what science tells us, that man was born from the earth. But, more logical than the scientists who lecture us, we must carry this lesson to its conclusion:
...that is to say, accept that man was born entirely from the world - not only his flesh and bones but his incredible power of thought.
- Pierre Teilhard de Chardin
There is no magic wand that can resolve our problems. The solution rests with our work and discipline.
- Jose Eduardo dos Santos
To repress rebellion is to maintain the status quo, a condition which binds the mortal creature in a state of intellectual or physical slavery.

- Manly Hall

In dangers, in doubts, in difficulties, think of Mary, call upon Mary. Let not her name depart from your lips, never suffer it to leave your heart. And that you may obtain the assistance of her prayer, neglect not to walk in her footsteps. With her for guide, you shall never go astray; while invoking her, you shall never lose heart; so long as she is in your mind, you are safe from deception; while she holds your hand, you cannot fall; under her protection you have nothing to fear; if she walks before you, you shall not grow weary; if she shows you favour, you shall reach the goal.
- St. Bernard of Clairvaux
Activism is my rent for living on the planet.
- Alice Walker
There are two ways of spreading light: to be the candle or the mirror that reflects it.
