It is the application of the common property to common uses. When all rent is taken by taxation for the needs of the community, then will the equality ordained by nature be attained.” ~ Henry George

So the doctrine came to mean vindication of Truth, not by infliction of suffering on the opponent but one’s own self.” ~ Mahatma Gandhi

The time to put forth effort is when we are most able to do it, namely, in the years of our greatest strength. The law of compensation hasn’t ceased to function.” ~ B. C. Forbes

Four years later, I won the gold medal at the 1992 Olympic Games.” ~ Kristi Yamaguchi

- “It opposes the dogmatic application to all cases of what is adequate only for piecemeal aggregates. The question is whether an approach in piecemeal terms, through blind connections, is or is not adequate to interpret actual thought processes and the role of the past experience as well.
