Books won't stay banned. They won't burn. Ideas won't go to jail. In the long run of history, the censor and the inquisitor have always lost. The only sure weapon against bad ideas is better ideas.
A. Whitney Griswold
Let me not be understood as saying that there are no bad laws, nor that grievances may not arise for the redress of which no legal provisions have been made. I mean to say no such thing. But I do mean to say that although bad laws, if they exist, should be repealed as soon as possible, still, while they continue in force, for the sake of example they should be religiously observed.
Abraham Lincoln
When I do good, I feel good when I do bad, I feel bad, and that is my religion.
Abraham Lincoln
It is with our passions, as it is with fire and water, they are good servants but bad masters.
Aesop
Not to know is bad not to wish to know is worse.
African Proverb
It's too bad I'm not as wonderful a person as people say I am, because the world could use a few people like that.
Alan Alda
A little girl can be sweeter (and badder) oftener than anyone else in the world. She can jitter around, and stomp, and make funny noises that frazzle your nerves, yet just when you open your mouth she stands there demure with that special look in her eyes. A girl is Innocence playing in the mud, Beauty standing on its head, and Motherhood dragging a doll by the foot.
Alan Marshall Beck
Any education that matters is liberal. All the saving truths, all the healing graces that distinguish a good education from a bad one or a full education from a half empty one are contained in that word.
Alan Simpson
Happiness is nothing more than good health and a bad memory.
Albert Schweitzer
Finding bad reasons for what one believes for other bad reasons - that's philosophy.
Aldous Huxley
