William Wordsworth

A flock of sheep that leisurely pass by, One after one the sound of rain and bees Murmuring the fall of rivers, winds and seas, Smooth fields, white sheets of water, and pure sky I have thought of all by turns, and yet do lie Sleepless.

To show forbearance and gentleness in teaching others; and not to revenge unreasonable conduct - this is the energy of southern regions, and the good man makes it his study.

Therefore, the superior man cultivates a friendly harmony, without being weak - How firm is he in his energy! (Confucius)

It's up to us, the people, to break immoral laws, and resist. As soon as the leaders of a country lie to you, they have no authority over you. These maniacs have no authority over us. And they might be able to put our bodies in prison, but they can't put our spirits in prison.

The limits of man's observation lie within very narrow boundaries, and it would be arrogance to suppose that the reach of man's power is to form the limits of the natural world.

Charles Babbage

Even now, all possible feelings do not yet exist, there are still those that lie beyond our capacity and our imagination.

Yogi Adityanath

I entreat you to devote one solemn hour of thought to a crucified Saviour - a Saviour expiring in the bitterest agony. Think of the cross, the nails, the open wounds, the anguish of His soul. Think how the Son of God became a man of sorrows and acquainted with grief, that you might live forever. Think as you lie down upon your bed to rest, how your Saviour was lifted up from the earth to die. Think amid your plans and anticipations of future gaiety, what the redemption of your soul has cost, and how the dying Saviour would wish you to act. His wounds plead that you will live for better things. (Albert Barnes)

Lay a second foundation enough inside the first... Having laid these two foundations... build cross walls between them uniting the outer and inner foundation in a comb like arrangement set like teeth of a saw.

Vitruvius
