Quotes:

A single phrase well thought out is worth
    a whole thousand of these superfluous ideas;
a single idea, well developed,
    is worth a whole thousand of these redundant phrases
       Joseph Roux, Meditations of a Parish Priest, Chp 2.xix

The paradox is this:
   man's nature by itself, can do little or nothing
   to settle his most important problems.
   If we follow nothing but our natures,
   our own philosophies, our own level of ethics,
   we will end up in hell.
       Thomas Merton, The Seven Story Mountain, pg 185

The treacherous are ever distrustful.
        JRR Tolkien, The Lord of the Rings, Book III, Chp 10 - The Voice of Saruman

Capital is only the fruit of labor, and could never have existed
if labor had not first existed. Labor is the superior of capital,
and deserves much the higher consideration.
     - Abraham Lincoln,
       Dec 3, 1861 State of the Union speech.

 Diary of an Old Soul-MacDonald

     Thou far!—that word the holy truth doth blur.
     Doth the great ocean from the small fish run
     When it sleeps fast in its low weedy bower?
     Is the sun far from any smallest flower,
     That lives by his dear presence every hour?
     Are they not one in oneness without stir—
     The flower the flower because the sun the sun?
