Afford every soul you encounter the wide and free passage they need to give birth to the dear expressions they feel are important. – Bryant McGill
Fourscore and seven years ago our fathers brought forth upon this continent a new nation, conceived in liberty, and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal...We here highly resolve that the dead shall not have died in vain, that this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom and that government of the people, by the people, and for the people, shall not perish from the earth. – Abraham Lincoln
I have an idea that some men are born out of their due place. Accident has cast them amid certain surroundings, but they have always a nostalgia for a home they know not. They are strangers at their birthplace, and the leafy lanes they have known from childhood or the populous streets in which they have played, remain but a place of passage. They may spend their whole lives aliens among their kindred and remain aloof among the only scenes they have ever knows. Perhaps it is this sense of strangeness that sends men far and wide in the search for something permanent, to which they may attach themselves. Perhaps some deep-rooted atavism urges the wanderer back to lands which his ancestors left in the dim beginnings of history. Sometimes a man hits upon a place to which he mysteriously feels that he belongs. Here is the home he sought, and he will settle amid scenes that he has never seen before, among men he has never known, as though they were familiar to him from his birth. Here at last he finds rest. – W. Somerset Maugham

My birth was just an incident but my death will not go unnoticed – Nishad Abubakar

There is no cure for birth and death save to enjoy the interval. The dark background which death supplies brings out the tender colors of life in all their purity. – George Santayana
Tomas did not realize at the time that metaphors are dangerous. Metaphors are not to be trifled with. A single metaphor can give birth to love. – Milan Kundera, The Unbearable Lightness of Being
You need chaos in your soul to give birth to a dancing star. – Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche
The same stream of life that runs through my veins night and day runs through the world and dances in rhythmic measures. It is the same life that shoots in joy through the dust of the earth in numberless blades of grass and breaks into tumultuous waves of leaves and flowers. It is the same life that is rocked in the ocean-cradle of birth and of death, in ebb and in flow. I feel my limbs are made glorious by the touch of this world of life. And my pride is from the life-throb of ages dancing in my blood this moment. – Rabindranath Tagore
To love is not a passive thing. To love is active voice. When I love I do something, I function, I give. I do not love in order that I may be loved back again, but for the creative joy of loving. And every time I do so love I am freed, at least a little, by the outgoing of love, from enslavement to that most intolerable of master, myself. – Bernard Iddings Bell
Intellectual growth should commence at birth and cease only at death. – Albert Einstein
A library, to modify the famous metaphor of Socrates, should be the delivery room for the birth of ideas-a place where history comes to life. – Norman Cousins
From birth to age eighteen, a girl needs good parents. From eighteen to thirty-five, she needs good looks. From thirty-five to fifty-five, she needs a good personality. From fifty-five on, she needs good cash. – Sophie Tucker
Men are equal it is not birth but virtue that makes the difference. – Voltaire
Personally I think birthdays and anniversaries are like menstrual cramps, a regular pain in the ass thats somehow connected to birth. – Hugh Elliott
...and that this country shall have a new birth of freedom, and that this government, of the people, for the people, by the people, shall not perish from the Earth. – Abraham Lincoln, Gettysburg Address
A man of quick and active wit For drudgery is more unfit, Compared to those of duller parts, Than running nags are to draw carts. – Butler
A mind too active is no mind at all. – Theodore Roethke
A politician will always tip off his true belief by stating the opposite at the beginning of the sentence. For maximum comprehension, do not start listening until the first clause is concluded. Begin instead at the word "but" which begins the second, or active, clause. This is the way to tell a liberal from a conservative -- before they tell you. Thus: "I have always believed in a strong national defense, second to none, but ... " (a liberal, about to propose a $20 billion defense cut). – Frank Mankiewicz
A theory can be proved by experiment but no path leads from experiment to the birth of a theory. – Albert Einstein
A very small degree of hope is sufficient to cause the birth of love. – Stendhal
Active minds that think and study, Like swift brooks are seldom muddy. – Arthur Guiterman
America has never been united by blood or birth or soil. We are bound by ideals that move us beyond our backgrounds, lift us above our interests and teach us what it means to be citizens. – George W. Bush, Inaugural address, 2001
Any proposition containing the word "is" creates a linguistical structural confusion which will eventually give birth to serious fallacies. – Alfred Korzybski, His book, Science And Sanity
