Beauty is worse than wine, it intoxicates both the holder and beholder.
The man who has ceased to fear has ceased to care.
Francis H. Bradley
I've always been part of comedy. One of the things about our family was that if we were reasonably funny with each other, particularly my two brothers and myself, when my father was upset with something you'd want to make sure in some way you made him laugh. Because when he didn't laugh, you were in trouble!
Leslie Nielsen

Gabrielle Union
Where everything is bad it must be good to know the worst.
Work isn't to make money you work to justify life.
Marc Chagall
Our live experiences, fixed in aphorisms, stiffen into cold epigrams. Our heart's blood, as we write it, turns to mere dull ink.

Marc Jacobs
Metaphysics is the finding of bad reasons for what we believe upon instinct; but to find these reasons is no less an instinct.
As Daddy said, life is 95 percent anticipation.
Gloria Swanson
There are those who so dislike the nude that they find something indecent in the naked truth.
The world is the best of all possible worlds, and everything in it is a necessary evil.
People are always angry at America. They're absolutely certain that America either caused their problems or is deliberately not fixing their problems. But the anger is always directed at America and never at Americans.
P. J. O'Rourke
True penitence condemns to silence. What a man is ready to recall he would be willing to repeat.
Selling public property is the true Chicago way. Had Mr. Obama not been elected president, the nation's business journals would be falling over one another to praise his city for its daring, market-friendly innovations.
Thomas Frank
There are persons who, when they cease to shock us, cease to interest us.
The one self-knowledge worth having is to know one's own mind.
It is by a wise economy of nature that those who suffer without change, and whom no one can help, become uninteresting. Yet so it may happen that those who need sympathy the most often attract it the least.
God help us from those who believe that they are the sole possessors of truth. How we manage at times to agree willingly to become prisoners within our own minds and souls of beliefs and ideas on which we can never be flexible.
King Hussein I
One said of suicide, As long as one has brains one should not blow them out. And another answered, But when one has ceased to have them, too often one cannot.
Without a trace of irony I can say I have been blessed with brilliant enemies. I owe them a great debt, because they redoubled my energies and drove me in new directions.
E. O. Wilson
The force of the blow depends on the resistance. It is sometimes better not to struggle against temptation. Either fly or yield at once.
Secretary of War Stanton used to get out of patience with Lincoln because he was all the time pardoning men who ought to be shot.
Elihu Root
Eclecticism. Every truth is so true that any truth must be false.
My family was very supportive of whatever I wanted because my grandfather was an opera singer. My dad's dad. So my dad has an appreciation for the arts, and he let me choose my own path.
Tony Hale
The deadliest foe to virtue would be complete self-knowledge.
War can be so impersonal yet when we put a name, a face, a place and match it to families, then war is not impersonal.
Dennis Kucinich
Adam knew Eve his wife and she conceived. It is a pity that this is still the only knowledge of their wives at which some men seem to arrive.
And that's the great thing about living the Christian life and trying to live by faith, is you're trying to get better every day. You're trying to improve.
Tim Tebow
Expect victory and you make victory.
Preston Bradley
We're a diverse society, and I think the TV is doing a great job in showing that we're all human beings, that we can all get along, that we can all be together, and I think that's a marvelous thing.
Billy Graham
I've never met a person, I don't care what his condition, in whom I could not see possibilities. I don't care how much a man may consider himself a failure, I believe in him, for he can change the thing that is wrong in his life any time he is ready and prepared to do it. Whenever he develops the desire, he can take away from his life the thing that is defeating it. The capacity for reformation and change lies within.
The world basically and fundamentally is constituted on the basis of harmony. Everything works in co-operation with something else.

I wake up every morning and thank God I?m not a chartered accountant any longer, but involved with property.
Godfrey Bradman
We can't equate democracy with Christianity because the largest democracy on earth is India, which is primarily Hindu. The third largest democracy is Indonesia, which is Islamic. Democracy and freedom are not dependent on Christian beliefs.
Jimmy Carter
It's okay to make mistakes. Mistakes are our teachers -- they help us to learn.
John Bradshaw
It is a mark of soulfulness to be present in the here and now. When we are present, we are not fabricating inner movies. We are seeing what is before us.
