Beauty seen is never lost.

He that outlives a wife whom he has long loved, sees himself disjoined from the only mind that has the same hopes, and fears, and interest; from the only companion with whom he has shared much good and evil; and with whom he could set his mind at liberty, to retrace the past or anticipate the future. The continuity of being is lacerated; the settled course of sentiment and action is stopped; and life stands suspended and motionless.

Samuel Johnson

If you can't pay for a thing, don't buy it. If you can't get paid for it, don't sell it. Do this, and you will have calm and drowsy nights, with all of the good business you have now and none of the bad. If you have time, don't wait for time.

Benjamin Franklin

Marcus Valerius Martial

Let judges secretly despair of justice: their verdicts will be more acute. Let generals secretly despair of triumph killing will be defamed. Let priests secretly despair of faith: their compassion will be true.

Leonard Cohen

Christopher Lasch

Conscience in most men, is but the anticipation of the opinions of others.

Jeremy Taylor

Patience permits us to cling to our faith in the Lord when we are tossed about by suffering as if by surf. When the undertow grasps us we will realize that we are somehow being carried forward even as we tumble. We are actually being -helped even as we cry for help.

Neal A. Maxwell

The rich are always advising the poor, but the poor seldom return the compliment.

Sir Arthur Helps

Admiral. That part of a warship which does the talking while the figurehead does the thinking.

Ambrose Bierce

She shuddered. Oh, no. I hate chocolate.Will looked horrified. What kind of monster could possibly hate chocolate?
