Hear, O Israel: The LORD is our God, the LORD alone; You shall love the LORD your God with all your heart, and with all your soul,... and with all your might. Keep these words that I am commanding you today in your heart. Recite them to your children and talk about them when you are at home and when you are away, when you lie down and when you rise. Bind them as a sign on your hand, fix them as an emblem on your forehead, and write them on the doorposts of your house and on your gates.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »

Any private secretary in the least fit for his business would have thought, as Adams did, that no man living needed so much education as the new President but that all the education he could get would not be enough.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
Admiration is a very short-lived passion that immediately decays upon growing familiar with its object, unless it be still fed wit...h fresh discoveries, and kept alive by a new perpetual succession of miracles rising up to its view.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
