Doubt thou the stars are fire, Doubt that the sun doth move. Doubt truth to be a liar, But never doubt I love.
No one can manipulate anyone else. In any relationship, both parties know what they're doing. even if one complains later on that they were used.
Paulo Coelho
If we must not act save on a certainty, we ought not to act on religion, for it is not certain. But how many things we do on an uncertainty, sea voyages, battles!
Blaise Pascal
Yet each man kills the thing he loves,By each let this be heard,Some do it with a bitter look,Some with a flattering word,The coward does it with a kiss,The brave man with a sword!
Oscar Wilde, The Ballad of Readi
As with real reading, the ability to comprehend subtlety and complexity comes only with time and a lot of experience. If you don't adequately acquire those skills, moving out into the real world of real people can actually become quite scary.
Jeffrey Kluger
You shall go with me, newly-married bride,And gaze upon a merrier multitude.White-armed Nuala, Aengus of the Birds,Feachra of the hurtling form, and himWho is the ruler of the Western Host,Finvara, and their Land of Heart's Desire.Where beauty has no ebb, decay no flood,But joy is wisdom, time an endless song.
William Butler Yeats, Land of He
Strange is our situation here on Earth. Each of us comes for a short visit, not knowing why, yet sometimes seeming to divine a purpose. From the standpoint of daily life, however, there is one thing we do know: that man is here for the sake of other men - above all for those upon whose smiles and well-being our own happiness depends.
Albert Einstein
Get the best people and train them well.
Scott McNealy
Jealousy is bred in doubts. When those doubts change into certainties, then the passion either ceases or turns absolute madness.
Francois de La Rochefoucauld
You, the Spirit of the Settlement! ... Not understand that America is God's crucible, the great melting-pot where all the races of Europe are melting and re-forming! Here, you stand, good folk, think I, when I see them at Ellis Island, here you stand in your fifty groups, with your fifty languages and histories, and your fifty blood hatreds and rivalries...
Israel Zangwill, Melting Pot, Th
Like all of us in this storm between birth and death, I can wreak no great changes on the world, only small changes for the better, I hope, in the lives of those I love.
Dean Koontz
The devil has put a penalty on all things we enjoy in life. Either we suffer in health or we suffer in soul or we get fat.
There's the risk of being loved...and that would keep me from being happy.
Albert Camus
This is the way the world endsThis is the way the world endsThis is the way the world endsNot with a bang but a whimper.
TS (Thomas Stearns) Eliot, Hollo
Prince used to call me up 3am in the morning and invite me to hear some of his new songs.
Sheena Easton
If those in charge of our society - politicians, corporate executives, and owners of press and television - can dominate our ideas, they will be secure in their power. They will not need soldiers patrolling the streets. We will control ourselves.
Howard Zinn
For the past twenty years you and I have been fed all day long on good solid lies about sex
C.S. Lewis
On the road to Mandalay Where the flyin' fishes play, An' the dawn comes up like thunder outer China 'crost the bay.
Rudyard Kipling, Mandalay
The only time I ever enjoyed ironing was the day I accidentally got gin in the steam iron.
Phyllis Diller
In wisdom gathered over time I have found that every experience is a form of exploration.
Ansel Adams
Everything is determined, the beginning as well as the end, by forces over which we have no control. It is determined for the insect, as well as for the star. Human beings, vegetables, or cosmic dust, we all dance to a mysterious tune, intoned in the distance by an invisible piper.
The world is too much with us; late and soon,Getting and spending, we lay waste our powers:Little we see in Nature that is ours;We have given our hearts away, a sordid boon!
William Wordsworth, The World is
The health care reform legislation passed by the U.S. House of Representatives last night clearly violates the U.S. Constitution and infringes on each state's sovereignty.
Bill McCollum
Romantic love is an illusion. Most of us discover this truth at the end of a love affair or else when the sweet emotions of love lead us into marriage and then turn down their flames.
Thomas Moore
They say that the eyes of some paintings can follow you around the room, a fact that I doubt, but I am wondering whether some music can follow you for ever.
Terry Pratchett
Till last by Philip's farm I flowTo join the brimming river,For men may come and men may go,But I go on for ever.
Alfred Lord Tennyson, The Brook
I feel increasingly like age is very irrelevant. Quite often, cynicism is confused with wisdom, and my scorn is confused with a knowing, which I don't have.
Laura Marling
The great art of life is to moderate our passions. Objects of affection are like other belongings. We must love them enough to enrich our lives while we have them, not enough to impoverish our lives when they are gone.
As I was going up the stairI met a man who wasn't thereHe wasn't there again todayI wish, I wish he'd stay away.
Hughes Mearns, The Psychoed
My kids love it. I thought I was the coolest dad in the world when I got to be in a Bond film, but 'Harry Potter', too? Well, I think I qualify for a medal for exceptional parenting or something, don't you?
Robbie Coltraine
Water, water, everywhere,And all the boards did shrink.Water, water everywhere,Nor any drop to drink.The very deep did rot: O Christ!That ever this should be!Yea, slimy things did crawl with legsUpon the slimy sea.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge, The Rim
Such is the influence which the condition of our own thoughts, exercises, even over the appearance of external objects. Men who look on nature, and their fellow-men, and cry that all is dark and gloomy, are in the right; but the sombre colours are reflections from their own jaundiced eyes and hearts. The real hues are delicate, and need a clearer vision.
Charles Dickens
A man can no more diminish God's glory by refusing to worship Him than a lunatic can put out the sun by scribbling the word, 'darkness' on the walls of his cell.
C. S. Lewis
Rough wind, that moanest loudGrief too sad for song;Wild wind, when sullen cloudKnells all the night long;Sad storm, whose tears are vain,Bare woods, whose branches strain,Deep caves and dreary main, - Wail, for the world's wrong!
Percy Bysshe Shelley, Dirge
I just think if you don't say the honest thing, sometimes the honest thing never becomes true, you know, and I-
John Green
Arguing with a 3-year old is not too unlike defusing a bomb. Cut the right wire, crisis avoided â¤ï¸. Cut the wrong one or take too long, 💥.
David Heinemeier Hansson
You can't have public health without a public health system. We just don't want to be part of a mindless competition for resources. We want to build back capacity in the system.
Paul Farmer
If thou shouldst never see my face again,Pray for my soul. More things are wrought by prayerThan this world dreams of.http://www.bartleby.com/42/637.html
Alfred Lord Tennyson, Morte D'Ar
Lots of comedians have people they try to mimic. I mimic myshadow.
Steven Wright
The difficulty for most of us in the modern world is that the old-fashioned idea of God has become incredible or implausible.
Alan Watts
Technology without hatred can be a blessing. Technology with hatred is always a disaster.
