"A year from now you may wish you had started today."	Karen Lamb
"Learn from the past, Hope for the future, Live in the present."	Ken Lancaster
"The poor wish to be rich, the rich wish to be happy, the single wish to be married, and the married wish to be dead."	Ann Landers
"We are no longer happy as soon as we wish to be happier."	Walter Savage Landor
"There is a terrible war coming, and these young men who have never seen war cannot wait for it to happen, but I tell you, I wish that I owned every slave in the South, for I would free them all to avoid this war."	Robert Edward Lee
"Duty then is the sublimest word in the English language. You should do your duty in all things. You can never do more, you should never wish to do less."	Robert Edward Lee
"As great scientists have said and as all children know, it is above all by the imagination that we achieve perception, and compassion, and hope."	Ursula K. LeGuin
"To break a promise is to deny the reality of the past; Therefore it is to deny the hope of a real future...."	Ursala Lequin
"What I want to fix your attention on is the vast overall movement towards the discrediting, and finally the elimination, of every kind of human excellence -- moral, cultural, social or intellectual. And is it not pretty to notice how 'democracy' (in the incantatory sense) is now doing for us the work that was once done by the most ancient dictatorships, and by the same methods? The basic proposal of the new education is to be that dunces and idlers must not be made to feel inferior to intelligent and industrious pupils. That would be 'undemocratic.' Children who are fit to proceed may be artificially kept back, because the others would get a trauma by being left behind. The bright pupil thus remains democratically fettered to his own age group throughout his school career, and a boy who would be capable of tackling Aeschylus or Dante sits listening to his coeval's attempts to spell out A CAT SAT ON A MAT. We may reasonably hope for the virtual abolition of education when 'I'm as good as you' has fully had its way. All incentives to learn and all penalties for not learning will vanish. The few who might want to learn will be prevented; who are they to overtop their fellows? And anyway, the teachers -- or should I say nurses? -- will be far too busy reassuring the dunces and patting them on the back to waste any time on real teaching. We shall no longer have to plan and toil to spread imperturbable conceit and incurable ignorance among men."	Clive Staples Lewis
"If you look for truth, you may find comfort in the end; if you look for comfort you will not get either comfort or truth - only soft soap and wishful thinking to begin, and in the end, despair."	Clive Staples Lewis
"Affectation is a very good word when someone does not wish to confess to what he would none the less like to believe of himself."	Georg Christopher Lichtenberg
"...Him that I love, I wish to be free--even from me."	Anne Spencer Morrow Lindbergh
"This was love at first sight, love everlasting: a feeling unknown, unhoped for, unexpected--in so far as it could be a matter of conscious awareness; it took entire possession of him, and he understood, with joyous amazement, that this was for life."	Charles Augustus Lindbergh
"If you don't go far enough back in memory or far enough ahead in hope, your future will be impoverished."	Ed Lindeman
"Many a man wishes he were strong enough to tear a telephone book in half-especially if he has a teenage daughter."	Guy Albert Lombardo
"The important thing is not so much that every child should be taught, as that every child should be given the wish to learn."	Sir John Lubbock
"Everything that is done in the world is done by hope."	Martin Luther
"The art of acceptance is the art of making someone who has just done you a small favor wish that he might have done you a greater one."	J. Russel Lynes
"A wise man ought always to follow the paths beaten by great men, and to imitate those who have been supreme, so that if his ability does not equal theirs, at least it will savor of it. Let him act like the clever archers who, designing to hit the mark which yet appears too far distant, and knowing the limits to which the strength of their bow attains, take aim much higher than the mark, not to reach by their strength or arrow to so great a height, but to be able with the aid of so high an aim to hit the mark they wish to reach."	Niccolo Machiavelli
"This was love at first sight, love everlasting: a feeling unknown, unhoped for, unexpected--in so far as it could be a matter of conscious awareness; it took entire possession of him, and he understood, with joyous amazement, that this was for life."	Thomas Mann
