Sometimes you just have to calm down a little bit and let the system work itself.

Child slavery is a crime against humanity. Humanity itself is at stake here. A lot of work still remains, but I will see the end of child labor in my lifetime.

It's like Forrest Gump said, 'Life is like a box of chocolates.' Your career is like a box of chocolates - you never know what you're going to get. But everything you get is going to teach you something along the way and make you the person you are today. That's the exciting part - it's an adventure in itself.

When your work speaks for itself, don't interrupt.

However glorious an action in itself, it ought not to pass for great if it be not the effect of wisdom and intention.

Our bodies are at once the receiving and transmitting stations for life itself. It is the highest wisdom to recognize this fact and train our bodies to render them sensitive and responsive to nature. art and religion.

One reason the human race has such a low opinion of itself is that it gets so much of its wisdom from writers.

Wisdom does not show itself so much in precept as in life - in firmness of mind and a mastery of appetite. It teaches us to do as well as to talk; and to make our words and actions all of a color.

Follow your instincts. That's where true wisdom manifests itself.

Wisdom ceases to be wisdom when it becomes too proud to weep, too grave to laugh, and too selfish to seek other than itself.

The scientist is a lover of truth for the very love of truth itself, wherever it may lead.

The well of true wit is truth itself.

There are only two things. Truth and lies. Truth is indivisible, hence it cannot recognize itself; anyone who wants to recognize it has to be a lie.

Dispassionate objectivity is itself a passion, for the real and for the truth.

A liar begins with making falsehood appear like truth, and ends with making truth itself appear like falsehood.

No dance has ever turned out the way I thought it would, because I trust enough that I can start something with some ideas and then it takes itself somewhere.

Let every eye negotiate for itself and trust no agent.

Never trust anything that can think for itself if you can't see where it keeps its brain.

The genre has moved into this commercial aspect of itself, and ignored this extraordinarily rich literature that's filed everywhere else except under travel.

The need for this clinic is clear to me, to the veterans who are currently forced to travel hours to receive care, and even to the Veterans Administration that itself identified creation of a clinic in this part of our state as a priority to be completed by 2006.

The world reveals itself to those who travel on foot.

A journey is a person in itself; no two are alike. And all plans, safeguards, policing, and coercion are fruitless. We find that after years of struggle that we do not take a trip; a trip takes us.

Every day is a journey, and the journey itself is home.

We have what we seek, it is there all the time, and if we give it time, it will make itself known to us.
