To train and educate the rising generation will at all times be the first object of society, to which every other will be subordinate. (Robert Owen)
Welcome baby, It's your turn to live, They lie in wait for you, chicken pox, whooping cough, smallpox, Malaria, TB, heart disease, cancer, and so on. Unemployment, hunger, and so on. Train wrecks, bus accidents, plane crashes, work accidents, Earthquakes, floods, droughts, and so on. Heartbreak, alcoholism, and so on. Nightsticks, prison doors, and so on. They lie in wait for you, the atom bomb, and so on. Welcome baby, It's your turn to live. They lie in wait for you, socialism, communism, and so on. View quote

Ballet is completely unnatural to the body, just being turned-out... it's not the way your body is supposed to function, so you actually train your body to be a different structure than you were born with. View quote
Neve Campbell
I Have often thought if the minds of men were laid open, we should see but little difference between that of the wise man and that of the fool. There are infinite reveries, numberless extravagances, and a perpetual train of vanities which pass through both. The great difference is, that the first knows how to pick and cull his thoughts for conversation, by suppressing some, and communicating others; whereas the other lets them all indifferently fly out in words.

Joseph Addison
Forc'd from their homes, a melancholy train, To traverse climes beyond the western main Where wild Oswego spreads her swamps around, And Niagara stuns with thundering sound. View quote
Oliver Goldsmith

George Santayana
Bodybuilders party a lot, and once, in Gold's - the gym in Venice, California, where all the top guys train - there was a black girl who came out naked. Everybody jumped on her and took her upstairs, where we all got together. View quote
Arnold Schwarzenegger
It's more along the lines of raising a child: we train the system to a certain range of behaviors that we find most useful. But then we let it go, because we don't want to have to be babysitting it the whole time. View quote
Kevin Kelly (editor)
If you are searching for sacred knowledge and not just a palliative for your fears, then you will train yourself to be a good skeptic. (Ann Druyan)
I was a weird little kid. I was very irritable, bored, frustrated. I felt my imagination bubbling inside my head without having any way to express itself. Given a crayon and paper, I would not draw a train or a house. I would draw these monsters, beasts and demons. View quote
Clive Barker
Objectively, class differences in accent, dress, manners, and general style of life are very much smaller; and one cannot, strolling about the street or travelling on a train, instantly identify a person's social background as one can in England. Subjectively, social relations are more natural and egalitarian, and less marked by deference, submissiveness, or snobbery, as one quickly discovers from the cab-driver, the barman, the air-hostess and the drug-store assistant.

Anthony Crosland
The easiest and shortest way to God-realization is through the contact of a Sadguru, which means keeping the company or sahavas of such a Master, obeying him and serving him. This remedy is like a special express train which carries you straight to your destination. View quote
Meher Baba
You can look out of your life like a train & see what you're heading for, but you can't stop the train. View quote
Philip Larkin
The light you see at the end of the tunnel is the front of an oncoming train. View quote
David Lee Roth
Perhaps this is our strange and haunting paradox in America--that we are fixed and certain only when we are in movement. At any rate, this is how it seemed to young George Webber, who was never so assured of his purpose as when he was going somewhere on a train. And he never had the sense of home so much as when he felt that he was going there. It was only when he got there that his homelessness began. View quote
Thomas Wolfe
The motion of the stars over our heads is as much an illusion as that of the cows, trees and churches that flash past the windows of our train. View quote
James Jeans
Devolutionary reform will not provide a factory, a machine or jobs, build a school, train a doctor or put a pound on pensions. View quote
Neil Kinnock
...the old axiom that 'all power corrupts' has doubtful validity, because it derives from our neglect of Plato's advice to find men carefully and train them by methods which make them fit for heroes. View quote
Oswald Mosley
This murder of Hariri was deliberately planned and executed precisely to implicate Syria and to set in train the events which have unfolded. (George Galloway)
Therefore, since the world has still Much good, but much less good than ill, And while the sun and moon endure Luck's a chance, but trouble's sure I'd face it as a wise man would, And train for ill and not for good. View quote
A. E. Housman
The other thing is that if you rely solely on medication to manage depression or anxiety, for example, you have done nothing to train the mind, so that when you come off the medication, you are just as vulnerable to a relapse as though you had never taken the medication. View quote
Daniel Goleman
I think the smartest thing for people to do to manage very distressing emotions is to take a medication if it helps, but don't do only that. You also need to train your mind. View quote
Daniel Goleman
Personally I would like to have pupils, a studio, pass on my love to them, work with them, without teaching them anything... A convent, a monastery, a phalanstery of painting where one could train together.... but no program, no instruction in painting.... drawing is still alright, it doesn't count, but painting – the way to learn is to look at the masters, above all at nature, and to watch other people painting..
