Center Quotations
At the center of non-violence stands the principle of love.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
I want you to be everything that's you, deep at the center of your being.
Confucius
The need for change bulldozed a road down the center of my mind.
Maya Angelou
At the center of your being you have the answer; you know who you are and you know what you want.
Lao Tzu
I want to stand as close to the edge as I can without going over. Out on the edge you see all the kinds of things you can't see from the center.
Kurt Vonnegut
If I win and get the money, then the Oakland Police department is going to buy a boys' home, me a house, my family a house, and a Stop Police Brutality Center.
Tupac Shakur
The earth also is spherical, since it presses upon its center from every direction.
Nicolaus Copernicus
Accordingly, since nothing prevents the earth from moving, I suggest that we should now consider also whether several motions suit it, so that it can be regarded as one of the planets. For, it is not the center of all the revolutions.
Nicolaus Copernicus
Those who know that the consensus of many centuries has sanctioned the conception that the earth remains at rest in the middle of the heavens as its center, would, I reflected, regard it as an insane pronouncement if I made the opposite assertion that the earth moves.
Nicolaus Copernicus
Finally we shall place the Sun himself at the center of the Universe.
Nicolaus Copernicus
