My country wrong or right, is like saying my mother, drunk or sober.
To return to love, to get the love we always wanted but never had, to have the love we want but are not prepared to give, we seek romantic relationships. We believe these relationships, more than any other, will rescue and redeem us. True love does have the power to redeem but only if we are ready for redemption. Love saves us only if we want to be saved.
Bell Hooks
Don't use all-or-nothing thinking. Take each day as its own day, and don't worry about it if you mess up one day. The most important thing you can do is just get back up on the horse.
Henry Cloud
The point is that no matter what you choose to do with your body when you die, it won't, ultimately, be very appealing. If you are inclined to donate yourself to science, you should not let images of dissection or dismemberment put you off. They are no more or less gruesome, in my opinion, than ordinary decay or the sewing shut of your jaws via your nostrils for a funeral viewing.
Mary Roach
The truth has not so much set us free as it has ripped away a carefully constructed facade, leaving us naked to begin again.
Lisa Unger
To truly laugh, you must be able to take your pain, and play with it.
Charles Chaplin
WHEN I am dead and over me bright April Shakes out her rain-drenched hair, Though you should lean above me broken-hearted, I shall not care. I shall have peace, as leafy trees are peaceful When rain bends down the bough; And I shall be more silent and cold-hearted Than you are now.
Sarah Teasedale
Jack Thompson keeps racking up wins and you gamers just can't handle the truth. What's the truth? It is this: Adults with common sense and common decency who respect law enforcement are still running this country. Video gamers are not, and never will...
Jack Thompson
Always strive to aim for the highest peak of the goals in life you have set, this way if you manage to reach even half way toward a goal, landing in the middle is not such a bad place to end up.
Victoria Addino
Do not say things. What you are stands over you the while and thunders so that I cannot hear what you say to the contrary.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
What is the one sentence summary of how you change the world? Always work hard on something uncomfortably exciting!
Larry Page
Society is like a large piece of frozen water; and skating well is the great art of social life.
Letitia Elizabeth Landon
The human mind and body are truly extraordinary. They are the quintessence of excellence in motion. We talk, touch, see, hear, taste, smell, and feel. We dream, aspire, and become. All that we are is mind and body and spirit—that is our universe.
Lorii Myers
Fifty percent of something is better than than one hundred percent of nothing.
Chuck Barris
I wasn't a big science fiction aficionado, there were a few films like 2001 or Blade Runner that were favorites of mine, but since I started this series I have gained more respect for the genre and become more of a fan myself.
Joe Flanigan
When you do one movie at a time, if one goes crazy and becomes successful, your life changes. But you can step back and catch your breath.
Chris Evans
[...] endless action and reaction. Those beautifully rounded pebbles which you gather on the sand and which you hold in your hand and marvel at their exceeding smoothness, were chiseled into their varies and graceful forms by the ceaseless action of countless waves. Nature is herself a great worker and never tolerates, without certain rebuke, any contradiction to her wise example. Inaction is followed by stagnation. Stagnation is followed by pestilence and pestilence is followed by death.
Frederick Douglass
He who, when called upon to speak a disagreeable truth, tells it boldly and has done is both bolder and milder than he who nibbles in a low voice and never ceases nibbling.
Johann Kaspar Lavater
Why am I afraid to live, I who love life and the beauty of flesh and the living colors of earth and sky and sea? Why am I afraid of love, I who love love? Why must I hide myself in self-contempt in order to understand? Why was I born without a skin, O God, that I must wear armor in order to touch or to be touched?
Eugene O'Neill
The creator of the new composition in the arts is an outlaw until he is a classic.
Gertrude Stein
We always kept in our hearts the most noble, beautiful feeling that sets human beings apart: hope.
Manel Loureiro
He who defends with love will be secure; Heaven will save him, and protect him with love.
Lao Tzu
Being with you never felt wrong. It's the one thing I did right. You're the one thing I did right.
Becca Fitzpatrick
If we ever stop thinking about the person we want to become, we stop learning and taking risks.
Sally Blount
Every object and being in the universe is a jar overflowing with wisdom and beauty, a drop of the Tigris that cannot be contained by any skin. Every jarful spills and makes the earth more shining, as though covered in satin.
Rumi
If I am right, Thy grace impartStill in the right to stay;If I am wrong, O, teach my heartTo find that better way!
Alexander Pope
They had their cynical code worked out. The public are swine; advertising is the rattling of a stick inside a swill-bucket.
George Orwell
The future doesn't belong to the faint of heart. It belongs to the brave.
Ronald Reagan
I hope that real love and truth are stronger in the end than any evil or misfortune in the world.
Charles Dickens
Whenever there is a conflict between human rights and property rights, human rights must prevail
Abraham Lincoln
The profit of books is according to the sensibility of the reader. The profoundest thought or passion sleeps as in a mine until an equal mind and heart finds and publishes it.
Try not to become a man of success, but a man of value. Look around at how people want to get more out of life than they put in. A man of value will give more than he receives. Be creative, but make sure that what you create is not a curse for mankind.
Albert Einstein
The struggle for a free intelligence has always been a struggle between the ironic and the literal mind.
Christopher Hitchens
When I was your age...I wish I'd known that I already had everything I needed within myself to be happy, instead of looking for happiness at beauty counters.
Ilene Beckerman
The summit of happiness is reached when a person is ready to be what he is.
Desiderius Erasmus Roterodamus
The beauty of that June day was almost staggering. After the wet spring, everything that could turn green had outdone itself in greenness and everything that could even dream of blooming or blossoming was in bloom and blossom. The sunlight was a benediction. The breezes were so caressingly soft and intimate on the skin as to be embarrassing.
Dan Simmons
For me the diamond dawns are set In rings of beauty, And all my ways are dewy wet With pleasant duty.
John Townsend Trowbridge
It is not my intention to be fulsome, but I confess that I covet your skull.
Arthur Conan Doyle
Children may not notice the positive moments in life unless we point them out to them.
Deborah Norville
One of the reasons why we crave love, and seek it so desperately, is that love is the only cure for loneliness, and shame, and sorrow. But some feelings sink so deep into the heart that only loneliness can help you find them again. Some truths about yourself are so painful that only shame can help you live with them. And some things are just so sad that only your soul can do the crying for you.
Gregory David Roberts
If we truly love ourselves, in spite of our flaws, then we can love others in spite of theirs.
