“I do not believe one can settle how much we ought to give. I am afraid the only safe rule is to give more than we can spare.”
C.S. Lewis
“Writing ought either to be the manufacture of stories for which there is a market demand -- a business as safe and commendable as making soap or breakfast foods -- or it should be an art, which is always a search for something for which there is no market demand, something new and untried, where the values are intrinsic and have nothing to do with standardized values.”
Willa Sibert Cather
“It is thus, if there is any rule, that we ought to die--neither as victim nor as fanatic, but as the seafarer who can greet with an equal eye the deep that he is entering, and the shore that he must leave.”
E. M. Forster
“It takes courage to know when you ought to be afraid.”
James A. Michener
“Between a man and his wife nothing ought to rule but love. Authority is for children and servants, yet not without sweetness.”
William Penn
“There ought to be a room in every house to swear in”
Mark Twain
“Whatever affects one directly, affects all indirectly. I can never be what I ought to be until you are what you ought to be. This is the interrelated structure of reality.”
Martin Luther King Jr.
