Come out of your half-dreamed dream And run, if you will, to the top of the hill Open your arms, bonnie Jean.''

 * 9) Awe ·
 * 10) Baldr ·

 * 1) Caution · Your spiritual teachers caution you against enquiry — tell you not to read certain books; not to listen to certain people; to beware of profane learning; to submit your reason, and to receive their doctrines for truths. Such advice renders them suspicious counsellors. ~ Frances Wright
 * 2) Kenneth Chenault ·
 * 3) Eleanor Clift ·

 * 1) Grok · Grok means to understand so thoroughly that the observer becomes a part of the observed — to merge, blend, intermarry, lose identity in group experience. It means almost everything that we mean by religion, philosophy, and science — and it means as little to us (because of our Earthling assumptions) as color means to a blind man. ~ Robert A. Heinlein
 * 2) Guardians of the Galaxy (2008 team) · I don't know if this team will work or not. All I know is it MUST. Time is critical. I see clearly now why I've been reborn. We haven't got long. Years if we're lucky, months if we're not. ~ Adam Warlock
 * 3) Guardians of the Galaxy (film) · I was only a kid when I left Earth, and I had no idea what the universe had in store for me. · It's time we stand up for what is right.

 * 5) Héloïse (abbess) ·
 * 6) High Plains Drifter · Somebody left the door open and the wrong dogs came home.

 * 11) Importance · There's something you better understand about me 'cause it's important and one day your life may depend on it. … I am definitely a mad man with a box. ~ Eleventh incarnation of the Doctor

 * 13) John of Bohemia · I require you bring me so far forward, that I may strike one stroke with my sword.
 * 14) Jean de Florette ·
 * 15) Jean Jullien ·
 * 16) Jungle · We are all made of the same stuff, remember, we of the Jungle, you of the City. The same substance composes us — the tree overhead, the stone beneath us, the bird, the beast, the star — we are all one, all moving to the same end. Remember that when you no longer remember me, my child. ~ P. L. Travers
 * 17) Kairos · Our task is to serve the logos out of the depths of our new kairos, a kairos that is now emerging in the crises and catastrophes of our day. Hence, the more deeply we understand fate — our own personal fate and that of our society — the more our intellectual work will have power and truth. ~ Paul Tillich
 * 18) Krzysztof Kieślowski ·
 * 19) Louis L'Amour
 * 20) Laniakea Supercluster · For the first time, astronomers have outlined and named the network of galaxies that includes the Milky Way, adding a line to our cosmic address and further defining our place in the universe.

 * 48) The Way of a Pilgrim · Among other words I heard these—"Pray without ceasing."

+ significantly worked upon:
 * 1) About Time (2013 film) · I think I've learned the final lesson from my travels in time; and I've even gone one step further than my father did: The truth is I now don't travel back at all, not even for the day, I just try to live every day as if I've deliberately come back to this one day, to enjoy it, as if it was the full final day of my extraordinary, ordinary life.
 * 2) Adnan Oktar · The proponents of violence are killing Muslims and they are killing Christians, they are killing Jews as well; they are enemies to everyone.
 * 3) Aladdin (1992 Disney film) · Genie, you're free.
 * 4) Alcaeus of Mytilene ·
 * 5) Alec Baldwin · I want to be a ferocious liberal.
 * 6) Apocrypha · Great is truth, and mighty above all things.
 * 7) Frédéric Bastiat · When plunder becomes a way of life for a group of men in a society, over the course of time they create for themselves a legal system that authorizes it and a moral code that glorifies it.
 * 8) Chitty Chitty Bang Bang · Never say "no" to adventures. Always say "yes", otherwise you'll lead a very dull life.
 * 9) Edward de Bono · Rightness is what matters in vertical thinking. Richness is what matters in lateral thinking.

 * 12) David Gilmour · Who are you and who am I To say we know the reason why Some are born, some men die,  Beneath one infinite sky?
 * 13) Zane Grey · To bear up under loss — to fight the bitterness of defeat and the weakness of grief — to be victor over anger — to smile when tears are close — to resist evil men and base instincts — to hate hate and to love love — to go on when it would seem good to die — to seek ever after the glory and the dream — to look up with unquenchable faith in something evermore about to be — that is what any man can do, and so be great.
 * 14) Scarlett Johansson · I read a lot of things about myself that aren't true … I've read that I've been with people I've never met.
 * 15) Milla Jovovich · Martial arts is something I’ve always loved doing. It’s the only form of exercise that I can deal with. Everything else is really boring and mind-numbing.

 * 19) Jack Monroe · Food poverty comes in two strands. The first is not having enough money to buy food for yourself and your family. The second is poverty of education.
 * 20) Patton (film) · Fixed fortifications are monuments to the stupidity of man.
 * 21) Perception · Truth is universal. Perception of truth is not.
 * 22) Randy Pausch · If I could only give three words of advice, they would be, "tell the truth." If I got three more words, I'd add: "All the time."
 * 23) Sarvepalli Radhakrishnan · If there is a single goal for all civilization, it does not mean that all shall speak a common tongue or profess a common creed, or that all shall live under a single government, or all shall follow an unchanging pattern in customs and manners.
 * 24) Wilhelm Röntgen · I did not think; I investigated. … Having discovered the existence of a new kind of rays, I of course began to investigate what they would do. … We shall see what we shall see. We have the start now; the developments will follow in time.
 * 25) Oskar Schindler · I hated the brutality, the sadism, and the insanity of Nazism. I just couldn't stand by and see people destroyed. I did what I could, what I had to do, what my conscience told me I must do. That's all there is to it.
 * 26) Gloria Steinem · I always thought that "humanist" was a good word long before I understood that anyone thought it was a bad word.
 * 27) Dawud Wharnsby · We must reach out to our neighbours not with an agenda of conversion, but in simple acts of sincere love.

'''I ever seek to increase proper forms of respect for human individuals and legitimate forms of human society and social interactions. I do not seek to promote any of the worst and foulest forms of human confusion, ignorance and fear, nor promote any admiration for corruptions of the ideals of humanity which can come about through many forms of ignorance and confusion, such as those involved in various mild and minor or major and murderous forms of tyranny or terrorism.''' I promote a forgiveness of those who fall into many forms of error, but I also assert that errors, especially those which ignore the principles of Justice and Liberty, should be opposed, and opposed regularly and vigorously. I am well aware that those with very limited and constrained forms of imagination, intelligence and ideas OFTEN wish to find ways to constrain or control the ideas of others, and to suppress, punish and destroy any indications of such ideas or truths as might go beyond the bounds which their fragile or fearful little minds find comfortable to face, usually without being too obvious about it, and with exaggerating focus on such regulations and policies "for the good" of everyone they choose to find worthy of consideration — which is usually a VERY limited circle, and such as can serve their own aims — often with an extreme ignorance, denial or dismissal of such principles upon which any truly legitimate "policies" must be founded. Even as a young child I recognized that so-called social interactions that depended upon various forms of dishonesty were not truly "social" at all — but actually, at best, "semi-social" and more often truly "anti-social", no matter what kindly generous appearances people might wish to garnish their own bigotries and extreme prejudices with.  I am genuinely not prone to be harsh to those not being deliberately harsh to others — and yet I am certainly not always prone to be gentle with those I perceive being needlessly harsh, intolerant or cruel to anyone. Even though I might forgive their ignorance and confusion, I will not always choose to pardon them from confrontations with aspects or consequences of their errors, that they might prefer not to face. I am a very complex person — and I respect others as such too — and I know that any mandated erasures or ignoring of all differences that might exist is certainly NOT a genuinely healthy answer to the problems of various forms of social and anti-social contentions. In this project and elsewhere I intend to help make many ideas of those I consider the most wise and charitable of human beings far better known and adequately understood by many — and indicate applicabilities which I believe can be helpful. This year has just begun, but I have many ideas of how to occupy my time in coming months, and am always prepared to adapt and grow with new circumstances, as any healthy individual usually is, and any healthy human endeavors always are. So it goes... ~ ♞☤☮♌Kalki·†·⚓⊙☳☶⚡ 12:19, 22 January 2014 (UTC) + tweaks

some images deleted from Baruch Spinoza

 * some of the images deleted from Baruch Spinoza, removed some months ago, some of which I might eventually restore, but have many other things to attend to today and in coming weeks. ~ ♞☤☮♌Kalki·†·⚓⊙☳☶⚡ 19:04, 13 January 2014 (UTC) + tweaks

Most of these which had been here have now been restored to the Spinoza page or to Ethics (book), which had been an overly large portion of the page, and had been moved some time after the images were removed. Some I simply replaced with other available images. Of the 2 images I have retained here, only the one with the Borges quote has not been restored, because there is currently not enough room for it in its section, and I believe other images currently there are generally preferable. ~ ♞☤☮♌Kalki·†·⚓⊙☳☶⚡ 11:42, 30 January 2014 (UTC) + tweaks
 * Actually there is sufficient room there, except in extremely wide page widths — but I will probably wait for more text in that section before possibly restoring it, or replacing it with another. ~ ♞☤☮♌Kalki·†·⚓⊙☳☶⚡ 11:46, 30 January 2014 (UTC)

Starry Night options

some images deleted from Sri Chinmoy

 * These were removed from the Sri Chinmoy page, and knowing he apparently had some objections to gay lifestyles, I can agree to keep them removed, though I believe they illustrate some aspects of his statements well. I will seek some other less controversial images to use with the captions ~ ♞☤☮♌Kalki·†·⚓⊙☳☶⚡ 12:51, 27 January 2014 (UTC)

= ∐∏ = Very early in my life, by the time I was 5 or 6, the Essays of Michel de Montaigne and various thoughts upon them had inspired me, and even then I had in mind ideas of creating short essays largely built around significant quotes and their various interpretations, and I will probably eventually begin filling many of user pages with quotes about various ideas and concepts, and a few relevant comments about them. "We've only just begun…" ;)

ΩA★AΩ

 * Barnstar Bank — just getting this started… will probably develop it with brief comments on their significance within the coming weeks.

Don't want to be all by myself anymore

Further research
The complete text of The New Yorker from this time period has been collected and sold on CD-ROM. It should be possible to find all of these quotations and determine the proper citations (including article title and page number, two elements missing from the sourced quotes here). 121a0012 17:02, 4 March 2006 (UTC)

 * News is like the tilefish which appears in great schools off the Atlantic Coast some years and then vanishes, no one knows whither or for how long. Newspapers might employ these periods searching for the breeding grounds of news, but they prefer to fill up with stories about Kurdled Kurds or Calvin Coolidge, until the banks close or a Hitler marches, when they are as surprised as their readers.

 * The function of the press in society is to inform, but its role in society is to make money. [Now sourced: 'Foreword: The End of Free Lunch' from The Press collection of articles by Liebling, Ballantine Books, New York 1961 p 7]

Cleanup templates need cleanup
All of the cleanup templates need to be cleaned up substantially, replacing WP links with WQ links in some cases, and removing obsolete references to "List of ..." topics in favor of the appropriate categories or project pages. 121a0012 17:13, 4 March 2006 (UTC)

Also we might have not listed templages ...
I found some (frequently used) templates unlisted on this page. We need to collect them. By the way which section is the most appropriate to ? Licensed or Cleanup? --Aphaia 10:14, 26 July 2006 (UTC)

Redundant category should be removed
I believe the category Category:Votes for deletion should be removed from this page since it already exists in its parent: Category:Deletion requests? Thanks in advance, Ottawahitech (talk) 17:29, 19 October 2021 (UTC)

Your account will be renamed
Hello,

The developer team at Wikimedia is making some changes to how accounts work, as part of our on-going efforts to provide new and better tools for our users like cross-wiki notifications. These changes will mean you have the same account name everywhere. This will let us give you new features that will help you edit and discuss better, and allow more flexible user permissions for tools. One of the side-effects of this is that user accounts will now have to be unique across all 900 Wikimedia wikis. See the announcement for more information.

Unfortunately, your account clashes with another account also called Tara.

James Allen (28 November 1864 – 24 January 1912) was an English author and poet.

Quotes

 * None but right acts can follow right thoughts; none but a right life can follow right acts; and by living a right life all blessedness is achieved.
 * Morning and Evening Thoughts

 * The heart that sins must sorrow.
 * Morning and Evening Thoughts

With our tears His feet we bathe; Constant still, in faith abiding, Life deriving from His death.
 * Love and grief our hearts dividing,
 * As reported in Dictionary of Burning Words of Brilliant Writers (1895) by Josiah Hotchkiss Gilbert, p. 371

As A Man Thinketh (1902)

 * Full text online at Wikisource · alternate online edition

And Man is Mind, and evermore he takes The tool of Thought, and, shaping what he wills, Brings forth a thousand joys, a thousand ills: — He thinks in secret, and it comes to pass: Environment is but his looking-glass.''
 * ''Mind is the Master power that moulds and makes,
 * Variant: Mind is the Master Power that molds and makes, And we are mind. And ever more we take the tool of thought, and shaping what we will, bring forth a thousand joys, or a thousand ills. We think in secret, and it comes to pass, environment, is but our looking glass.

 * A man is literally what he thinks, his character being the complete sum of all his thoughts.
 * Act is the blossom of thought, and joy and suffering are its fruits.

Effect of Thought on Circumstances

Let failure find its false content, In that poor word "environment," But spirit scorns it and is free.''
 * The world is your kaleidoscope, and the varying combinations of colours, which at every succeeding moment it presents to you are the exquisitely adjusted pictures of your ever-moving thoughts. ''So you will be, what you "will" to be.

The offspring of a deathless soul, Can hew the way to any goal, Though walls of granite intervene.'''
 * '''The human will, that force unseen,

But wait, as one who understands. '''When spirit rises and commands, The gods are ready to obey.'''
 * Be not impatient in delays,

Effect of Thought on Health and the Body

 * As you cannot have a sweet and wholesome abode unless you admit the air and sunshine freely into your rooms, so a strong body and a bright, happy, or serene countenance can only result from the free admittance into the mind of thoughts of joy and good will and serenity.

Visions and Ideals

 * The dreamers are the saviours of the world. As the visible world is sustained by the invisible, so men, through all their trials and sins and sordid vocations, are nourished by the beautiful visions of their solitary dreamers. Humanity cannot forget its dreamers; it cannot let their ideals fade and die; it lives in them; it knows them as the realities which it shall one day see and know.

 * Composer, sculptor, painter, poet, prophet, sage, these are the makers of the after-world, the architects of heaven.

 * He who cherishes a beautiful vision, a lofty ideal in his heart, will one day realize it.

 * Cherish your visions; cherish your ideals; cherish the music that stirs in your heart, the beauty that forms in your mind, the loveliness that drapes your purest thoughts, for out of them will grow all delightful conditions, all, heavenly environment; of these, if you but remain true to them, your world will at last be built.

Very soon so altered has his mind become that the workshop can no longer hold him. It has become so out of harmony with his mentality that it falls out of his life as a garment is cast aside, and, with the growth of opportunities which fit the scope of his expanding powers, he passes out of it forever.
 * Your circumstances may be uncongenial, but they shall not long remain so if you but perceive an Ideal and strive to reach it. You cannot travel within and stand still without. Here is a youth hard pressed by poverty and labor; confined long hours in an unhealthy workshop; unschooled, and lacking all the arts of refinement. But he dreams of better things; he thinks of intelligence, of refinement, of grace and beauty. He conceives of, mentally builds up, an ideal condition of life; the vision of a wider liberty and a larger scope takes possession of him; unrest urges him to action, and he utilizes all his spare time and means, small though they are, to the development of his latent powers and resources.

'''Dream lofty dreams, and as you dream, so shall you become. Your Vision is the promise of what you shall one day be; your Ideal is the prophecy of what you shall at last unveil.'''
 * To desire is to obtain; to aspire is to, achieve. Shall man's basest desires receive the fullest measure of gratification, and his purest aspirations starve for lack of sustenance? Such is not the Law: such a condition of things can never obtain: "ask and receive."

 * The greatest achievement was at first and for a time a dream. The oak sleeps in the acorn; the bird waits in the egg; and in the highest vision of the soul a waking angel stirs. Dreams are the seedlings of realities.

The Vision that you glorify in your mind, the Ideal that you enthrone in your heart — this you will build your life by, this you will become.
 * In all human affairs there are efforts, and there are results, and the strength of the effort is the measure of the result. Chance is not. Gifts, powers, material, intellectual, and spiritual possessions are the fruits of effort; they are thoughts completed, objects accomplished, visions realized.

Serenity

 * Calmness of mind is one of the beautiful jewels of wisdom. It is the result of long and patient effort in self-control. Its presence is an indication of ripened experience, and of a more than ordinary knowledge of the laws and operations of thought.

 * A man becomes calm in the measure that he understands himself as a thought evolved being, for such knowledge necessitates the understanding of others as the result of thought, and as he develops a right understanding, and sees more and more clearly the internal relations of things by the action of cause and effect he ceases to fuss and fume and worry and grieve, and remains poised, steadfast, serene.

 * The calm man, having learned how to govern himself, knows how to adapt himself to others; and they, in turn, reverence his spiritual strength, and feel that they can learn of him and rely upon him. The more tranquil a man becomes, the greater is his success, his influence, his power for good.

 * The strong, calm man is always loved and revered. He is like a shade-giving tree in a thirsty land, or a sheltering rock in a storm. "Who does not love a tranquil heart, a sweet-tempered, balanced life? It does not matter whether it rains or shines, or what changes come to those possessing these blessings, for they are always sweet, serene, and calm. That exquisite poise of character, which we call serenity is the last lesson of culture, the fruitage of the soul. It is precious as wisdom, more to be desired than gold — yea, than even fine gold. How insignificant mere money seeking looks in comparison with a serene life — a life that dwells in the ocean of Truth, beneath the waves, beyond the reach of tempests, in the Eternal Calm!

CIRCUIT BENDING lee daniel "

MODFATHER of CIRCUITBENDING - Lee Daniel at bMc
"While searching for new and alternative audio sounds, innovative DIY folk, have discovered the WORLD of CIRCUITBENDING! Sometimes called Circuitboarding, Circuitry repurposing, audio hardware hacking (AHH),NOYZ TOYZ, Audio MODS, this ART FORM has been developing radically, within the past 6 years. It started many years ago for the alternative Music and Soundscape Genres, early composers of musique concrète, and/or audio experimentors.

HISTORY of electronic audio

Electric Organ Morse Robb of Belleville, Ontario, patented the world's first electric organ in 1928.

Synthesizer Canadian, Hugh Le Caine not only built the world's first voltage controlled music synthesizer (1945), touch sensitive keyboard, and variable speed multi-track tape recorder, he also composed unique works that helped to popularize electronic music. LE CAINE An Inventor's Notebook Hugh Le Caine (1914-1977), Canadian electronic music pioneer, designed over twenty analogue musical instruments. Material on this website includes content from the National Science and Technology museum and the personal reflections of the friends and family of Hugh Le Caine.

Robert Moog Designed his first synthesizers in collaboration with the composers Herbert A. Deutsch, and Walter Carlos. Moog, profiling the inventor who created one of the world's first and most influential electronic music synthesizers.

Year - Manufacturer Model from MATRIXSYNTH SITE First at 1837 C.G. Page (Salem. Mass) - first to produce electronically generated sound (not necessarily associated with a musical instrument). After inventing the Volta in 1800 (an early battery), in 1837 Page was doing experiments with coils and realized when certain coils were attached to a batter they omitted a ringing sound. While he initially thought the ring came from the electrical current was interrupted (battery disconnected), what was actually taking place was the induction through the coils was causing them to vibrate. via Peter Grenader

1885 - Person and Ernst Lorenz -'Elektrisches Musikinstrument' - the first musical instrument designed to produce electrically generated sound. It used electronic vibrations to drive an electromagnet that were connected to resonating boards, which translated these vibrations to sound. via Peter Grenader

1897 - Taddaeus Cahills - Telharmonium - electromechanical instrument.

1936 - Oskar Sala - Mixturtrautonium - first synth using Subharmonic synthesis

1939 - Homer Dudley invents the Parallel Bandpass Vocoder (VODER) - A manually key operated speech synthesizer

1940 - Homer Dudley invents the The Voder speech synthesizer - A device which used the human voice and an artificial voice to produce a composite Both were researched as a way to transmit speech over copper wires (id est, telephone lines)

1948 - Hugh LeCaine - Electronic Sackbut - First voltage-controlled synthesizer

1948 - Dr. Raymond Scott - Wall of Sound - First polyphonic Sequencing Worstation (electromechanical) and the Electronum - first sequencer.

1950 - CSIR - Mk 1 - The first known use of a digital computer for the purpose playing music

1956 - Louie and Bebe Barron - Produced the first all-electronic musical score for a major motion picture - MGM's 'Forbidden Planet'

1957 - Max V. Mathews at Bell Labs - MUSIC - the first digital synthesizer. Technically, it was a computer program, though it set the stage for every digital synthesizer that proceeded it.

1963/64 - Buchla - model 100 modular - 1st "modern" modular synth

1967 - Moog - Moog modular synthesizer I, II & III - 1st commercial modular synth.

1969 - EMS - Synthi VCS-3 - first non-modular mini-synth

1970 - MOOG - Minimoog - 1st Mono Synth with keys (non-modular)

1971 - Tonus/Arp - Soloist - 1st preset mono synth

1971 - John Chowning - developed FM synthesis using the MUSIC-IV language (source), a direct descendent of Mathew's MUSIC program. FM synthesis was later licensed by Yamaha, and used in popular synths such as the DX-7.

1971 - Buchla - 500 - micro-controlled polyphonic analogue in 1971, it was also programmable as you could save patches to floppy.

1972 - Triadex Muse - first digital synth "is the first digital musical instrument and was produced in 1972. It was designed by Edward Fredkin and Marvin Minsky at MIT. It is an algorithmic music generator: it uses digital logic circuits to produce a sequence of notes based on the settings of various parameters. It has four small sliders in that control Volume, Tempo, Pitch, and Fine Pitch. It is not known how many were made, but they are considered extremely rare. The Muse is the subject of U. S. Patent 3610801"

1973 - Coupland Digital Music Synthesizer - First Digital (Triadex beat it?) Update via Peter Grenader: "No time to read through all these posts to see if it's come up yet, but the Coupland was vaporwear...it never existed. I met Mark Vail, who's now a friend, by writing him a letter informing him that his story about the Coupland in his Vintage Synthesizers book (GREAT book) which mentioned it's only recorded showing was at the AES show in LA in 1978 was a farce. I was there - at their booth and their suite in the Hilton where the instrument was said to be. I was there on the first day, I was there on the last day. The only thing they had was a small model - about six inches across, sitting on a table. The booth was amazing - this radial orb multiple people could sit in, with a cover that came over each person which played what I remembered was a very impressive demo which swirled around four speakers inside the box. I, and everyone else, were blown away. They kept saying...'it will be here tomorrow, it'll be here tomorrow'...so I showed up the last day just to see it, figuring by the then it would have arrived...it didn't. I did see the frst Synthclavier at that show however. Their suite was across the hall from the Coupland folk. That completely kicked the crap out of everything else shown that year."

1973 - NED - Synclavier - first digital synth

1974 - Roland - SH-3A - first commercial additive synth

1974 - RMI - Harmonic Synthesizer - first commercial additive synth

1976 - Yamaha - CS80 - first synth with poly aftertouch

1976 - PPG - PPG 1003 sonic carrier - 1st programmable mono/duo synth (this, along with the model 1020, might have been the 1st synths to use DCO's as well)

1977 (late) - Oberheim - OB-1 - 1st commercial programmable mono synth

1978 (late) - PPG - Wavecomputer 360 - 1st wavetable synth

1978 - Sequential Circuits - microprocessor control the SCI prophet 10 (briefly) and the P-5 --- again based on existing E-mu tech stuff 1979 - NED - Synclavier - First FM

1979 - Fairlight CMI - First Sampler, First Workstation

1982 - Sequential Circuits - Prophet 600 / First Midi Synthesizer (though some argue the Prophet 5 rev 3.2 is pre-MIDI MIDI)

1983 - Yamaha - DX7 - Digital takes over, FM goes mainstream

1983 - OSC - OSCar - First real-time additive with analog filters

Mario Cuomo

Mario Matthew Cuomo (June 15, 1932 – January 1, 2015) was an American Democratic politician. He served as the 52nd Governor of New York for three terms, from 1983 to 1994, Lieutenant Governor of New York from 1979 to 1982; and Secretary of State of New York from 1975 to 1978.

1984–1986

 * It was anticipating self-defense.
 * On why he once hit a catcher in the face mask while playing minor league baseball, CBS TV (December 30, 1984).

 * I said I didn’t want to run for president. I didn’t ask you to believe me.
 * The New York Times (12 February 1985).

 * You campaign in poetry. You govern in prose.

 * The mugger who is arrested is back on the street before the police officer, but the person mugged may not be back on the street for a long time, if ever.
 * Calling for hiring of more police
 * The New Republic (4 April 1985).

 * When you’ve parked the second car in the garage, and installed the hot tub, and skied in Colorado, and wind-surfed in the Caribbean, when you’ve had your first love affair and your second and your third, the question will remain, where does the dream end for me?
 * Commencement address at Syracuse University, quoted in The New York Times (12 May 1986).

 * I’d say, “That’s it, Charlie, you’re going to be by yourself for a hundred years.”
 * Favoring life sentences without parole instead of capital punishment, as quoted in Time'' (2 June 1986).

 * I talk and talk and talk, and I haven’t taught people in 50 years what my father taught by example in one week.
 * Time Magazine (2 June 1986).

 * If you can manipulate news, a judge can manipulate the law. A smart lawyer can keep a killer out of jail, a smart accountant can keep a thief from paying taxes, a smart reporter could ruin your reputation — unfairly.
 * NBC TV (12 August 1986).

 * I have no plans, and no plans to plan.
 * On his presidential plans The New York Times (14 September 1986).

 * I told them that my grandfather had died in the Great Crash of 1929 — a stockbroker jumped out of a window and crushed him and his pushcart down below.
 * On meeting with a group assembled by David Rockefeller, The New York Times (14 September 1986).

 * Lincoln isn’t a man with ingrown toenails, he’s an idea.
 * On reading a biography of Lincoln that “showed me the warts”
 * The New York Times (14 September 1986).

 * I am a trial lawyer…. Matilda says that at dinner on a good day I sound like an affidavit.
 * The New York Times (10 November 1986).

1991–2006

 * Every time I've done something that doesn't feel right, it's ended up not being right.
 * As quoted in In God's Care : Daily Meditations on Spirituality in Recovery (1991) by James Jennings and Karen Casey

 * People expect Byzantine, Machiavellian logic from politicians. But the truth is simple. Trial lawyers learn a good rule: 'Don't decide what you don't have to decide.' That's not evasion, it's wisdom.
 * As quoted in The Quotable Politician (2003) by William B. Whitman, p. 25

 * You want calamities? What about the Ice Age? … God made this world, but didn't complete it.
 * As quoted in "Analysis : Tragedies of nature, terror leave vulnerable feeling" by Charles Passy, in The Palm Beach Post (12 September 2005).

 * There are few things more amusing in the world of politics than watching moderate Republicans charging to the right in pursuit of greater glory.
 * As quoted in The Nastiest Things Ever Said about Republicans (2006) by Martin Higgins, p. 131

Address at Iona College (1984)

 * Commencement Address at Iona College (3 June 1984), as quoted in Lend Me Your Ears Great Speeches in History (1992) by William Safire, p. 932-936

 * Most of us have achieved levels of affluence and comfort unthought of two generations ago. We've never had it so good, most of us. Nor have we ever complained so bitterly about our problems. The closed circle of materialism is clear to us now — aspirations become wants, wants become needs, and self-gratification becomes a bottomless pit. All around us we have seen success in the world's terms become ultimate and desperate failure.

 * Entertainers and sports figures achieve fame and wealth but find the world empty and dull without the solace and stimulation of drugs.

 * Tell me, ladies and gentlemen, are we the ones to tell them what their instructors have tried to teach them for years? That the philosophers were right. That Saint Francis, Buddha, Muhammad, Maimonides — all spoke the truth when they said the only way to serve yourself is to serve others; and that Aristotle was right, before them, when he said the only way to assure yourself happiness is to learn to give happiness.

 * How simple it seems now. We thought the Sermon on the Mount was a nice allegory and nothing more. What we didn't understand until we got to be a little older was that it was the whole answer, the whole truth. That the way — the only way — to succeed and to be happy is to learn those rules so basic that a shepherd's son could teach them to an ignorant flock without notes or formulae.

 * Do we have the right now to tell them that when Saint Francis begged the Lord to teach him to want to console instead of seeking to be consoled — to teach him to want to love instead of desiring to be loved — that he was really being selfish? Because he knew the only way to be fulfilled and pleased and happy was to give instead of trying to get.

 * How do we tell them that one not be discouraged by the imperfection of the world and the inevitability of death and diminishment. How do we tell them when they lose a child, or are crippled, or know that they will themselves die too soon — that God permits pain and sickness and unfairness and evil to exist, only in order to permit us to test our mettle and to earn a fulfillment that would otherwise not be possible?

 * How can we tell our children that — when we have ourselves so often cried out in bitter despair at what we regarded to be the injustice of life — and when we have so often surrendered?

 * Do you blame me, ladies and gentlemen, for being reluctant to deliver to them the message that is traditional on commencement day?

 * I've been taking a closer look at these graduates. They are actually taller, stronger, smarter than we were, smart enough maybe to take our mistakes as their messages, to make our weaknesses their lessons, and to make our example — good and not so good — part of their education.

 * Indeed, as I think about it, I have to conclude that these young people before me today are the best reason for hope that this world knows.

 * I would like to tell them, the graduates, all of this, and I know that if we thought they would not be embarrassed by hearing it, we would all be telling them about how proud we are of them and how much we believe in them and their future. But again maybe we don't have to tell them; maybe they know. Maybe they can tell just by seeing the love in our eyes today.

Democratic National Convention Address (1984)

 * Democratic National Convention Keynote Address (16 July 1984) (full audio)

 * We speak for millions of reasoning people fighting to preserve our environment from greed and from stupidity.

 * If he had told the voters in 1980 that truth, would American voters have signed the loan certificate for him on Election Day? Of course not! That was an election won under false pretenses. It was won with smoke and mirrors and illusions. And that's the kind of recovery we have now as well.

 * We must get the American public to look past the glitter, beyond the showmanship, to the reality, the hard substance of things. And we'll do it not so much with speeches that sound good as with speeches that are good and sound; not so much with speeches that will bring people to their feet as with speeches that will bring people to their senses.

 * We believe in only the government we need, but we insist on all the government we need. We believe in a government that is characterized by fairness and reasonableness, a reasonableness that goes beyond labels, that doesn't distort or promise to do things that we know we can't do. We believe in a government strong enough to use words like "love" and "compassion" and smart enough to convert our noblest aspirations into practical realities. We believe in encouraging the talented, but we believe that while survival of the fittest may be a good working description of the process of evolution, a government of humans should elevate itself to a higher order.

 * We believe as Democrats, that a society as blessed as ours, the most affluent democracy in the world's history, one that can spend trillions on instruments of destruction, ought to be able to help the middle class in its struggle, ought to be able to find work for all who can do it, room at the table, shelter for the homeless, care for the elderly and infirm, and hope for the destitute. And we proclaim as loudly as we can the utter insanity of nuclear proliferation and the need for a nuclear freeze, if only to affirm the simple truth that peace is better than war because life is better than death.

 * We believe in a single fundamental idea that describes better than most textbooks and any speech that I could write what a proper government should be: the idea of family, mutuality, the sharing of benefits and burdens for the good of all, feeling one another's pain, sharing one another's blessings — reasonably, honestly, fairly, without respect to race, or sex, or geography, or political affiliation.

 * We believe we must be the family of America, recognizing that at the heart of the matter we are bound one to another, that the problems of a retired school teacher in Duluth are our problems; that the future of the child — that the future of the child in Buffalo is our future; that the struggle of a disabled man in Boston to survive and live decently is our struggle; that the hunger of a woman in Little Rock is our hunger; that the failure anywhere to provide what reasonably we might, to avoid pain, is our failure.

 * I watched a small man with thick calluses on both hands work fifteen and sixteen hours a day. I saw him once literally bleed from the bottoms of his feet, a man who came here uneducated, alone, unable to speak the language, who taught me all I needed to know about faith and hard work by the simple eloquence of his example.
 * About his father

Religious Belief and Public Morality (1984)

 * "Religious Belief and Public Morality: A Catholic Governor's Perspective", speech, University of Notre Dame, Notre Dame, Indiana (9 September 1984)

 * I can offer you no final truths, complete and unchallengeable. But it's possible this one effort will provoke other efforts — both in support and contradiction of my position — that will help all of us understand our differences and perhaps even discover some basic agreement. In the end, I'm convinced we will all benefit if suspicion is replaced by discussion, innuendo by dialogue; if the emphasis in our debate turns from a search for talismanic criteria and neat but simplistic answers to an honest — more intelligent — attempt at describing the role religion has in our public affairs, and the limits placed on that role. And if we do it right — if we're not afraid of the truth even when the truth is complex — this debate, by clarification, can bring relief to untold numbers of confused — even anguished — Catholics, as well as to many others who want only to make our already great democracy even stronger than it is.

 * I protect my right to be a Catholic by preserving your right to believe as a Jew, a Protestant, or non-believer, or as anything else you choose. We know that the price of seeking to force our beliefs on others is that they might some day force theirs on us. This freedom is the fundamental strength of our unique experiment in government. In the complex interplay of forces and considerations that go into the making of our laws and policies, its preservation must be a pervasive and dominant concern.

 * Almost all Americans accept some religious values as a part of our public life. We are a religious people, many of us descended from ancestors who came here expressly to live their religious faith free from coercion or repression. But we are also a people of many religions, with no established church, who hold different beliefs on many matters. Our public morality, then — the moral standards we maintain for everyone, not just the ones we insist on in our private lives — depends on a consensus view of right and wrong. The values derived from religious belief will not — and should not — be accepted as part of the public morality unless they are shared by the pluralistic community at large, by consensus. That those values happen to be religious values does not deny them acceptability as a part of this consensus. But it does not require their acceptability, either.

 * I think it's already apparent that a good part of this Nation understands — if only instinctively — that anything which seems to suggest that God favors a political party or the establishment of a state church, is wrong and dangerous. Way down deep the American people are afraid of an entangling relationship between formal religions — or whole bodies of religious belief — and government. Apart from constitutional law and religious doctrine, there is a sense that tells us it's wrong to presume to speak for God or to claim God's sanction of our particular legislation and His rejection of all other positions. Most of us are offended when we see religion being trivialized by its appearance in political throw-away pamphlets. The American people need no course in philosophy or political science or church history to know that God should not be made into a celestial party chairman.

Your account will be renamed
Hello,

The developer team at Wikimedia is making some changes to how accounts work, as part of our on-going efforts to provide new and better tools for our users like cross-wiki notifications. These changes will mean you have the same account name everywhere. This will let us give you new features that will help you edit and discuss better, and allow more flexible user permissions for tools. One of the side-effects of this is that user accounts will now have to be unique across all 900 Wikimedia wikis. See the announcement for more information.

Unfortunately, your account clashes with another account also called Crestville. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Crestville~enwikiquote that only you will have. If you like it, you don't have to do anything. If you do not like it, you can pick out a different name.

Your account will still work as before, and you will be credited for all your edits made so far, but you will have to use the new account name when you log in.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Yours, Keegan Peterzell Community Liaison, Wikimedia Foundation 23:20, 17 March 2015 (UTC)

Andrew Paterson

Andrew Barton "Banjo" Paterson (February 17, 1864 – April 5, 1941) was a famous Australian bush poet and author.

Quotes

 * He hails from Snowy River, up by Kosciusko's side, Where the hills are twice as steep, and twice as rough; Where the horse's hoofs strike firelight from the flintstones every stride, The man that holds his own is good enough. And the Snowy River riders on the mountains make their home, Where the river runs those giant hills between; I have seen full many horsemen since I first commenced to roam, But nowhere yet such horsemen have I seen.
 * "The Man From Snowy River", the poem which inspired the movies by the same name.

 * It was the man from Ironbark who struck the Sydney town, He wandered over street and park, he wandered up and down. He loitered here, he loitered there, till he was like to drop, Until at last in sheer despair he sought a barber's shop. "Ere! shave my beard and whiskers off, I'll be a man of mark, I'll go and do the Sydney toff up home in Ironbark."

 * The barber man was small and flash, as barbers mostly are, He wore a strike-your-fancy sash, he smoked a huge cigar; He was a humorist of note and keen at repartee, He laid the odds and kept a "tote", whatever that may be, And when he saw our friend arrive, he whispered, "Here's a lark! Just watch me catch him all alive, this man from Ironbark."
 * The Man From Ironbark.

Attributed

 * Concerning Henry Lawson and their feud in The Bulletin over the virtues of life in the bush: I think Lawson put his case better than I did, but I had the better case, so that honours (or dishonours) were fairly equal.
