Thoughts Quotes
If you want others to follow, learn to be alone with your thoughts.

Jose Saramago
Love lieth deep; Love dwells not in lip – depths;
Love laps his wings on either side the heart

So that they pass not to the shrine of sound.

Marcel Proust
Some things mankind can finish and be done with, but not ... science, that persists, and changes from ancient Chaldeans studying the stars to a new telescope with a 200-inch reflector and beyond; not religion, that persists, and changes from old credulities and world views to new thoughts of God and larger apprehensions of his meaning.
Harry Emerson Fosdick
