He is no fool who gives what he cannot keep to gain what he cannot lose.
Men marry because they are tired; women, because they are curious; both are disappointed.
Oscar Wilde
Gravitation can not be held responsible for people falling in love.
Albert Einstein
Being a funny person does an awful lot of things to you. You feel that you mustn't get serious with people. They don't expect it from you, and they don't want to see it. You're not entitled to be serious, you're a clown, and they only want you to make them laugh.
Fanny Brice
Because sometimes people who seem goodend up being not as good as you might have hoped.
Jonathan Safran Foer
I bought an echo and you bought gecko... stuff.
Leslie Hochsztein
We need a witness to our lives. There's a billion people on the planet... I mean, what does any one life really mean? But in a marriage, you're promising to care about everything. The good things, the bad things, the terrible things, the mundane things... all of it, all of the time, every day. You're saying 'Your life will not go unnoticed because I will notice it. Your life will not go un-witnessed because I will be your witness'.
Susan Sarandon
To this day I don't ever remember seeing a pet inside Moscow, I never saw anyone carrying a dog, or leading a dog. Err I finally saw a, a pet some years later in Kiev, so I thought that life must have been, different.
Ralph Boston
Why are women... so much more interesting to men than men are to women?
Virginia Woolf
It's always been my hope, as an actor, to reveal only what is relevant about myself to the work.
Eric Bana
Our institute's agenda is relatively simple. We study the relationship between social-economic change and culture. By culture we mean beliefs, values and lifestyles. We cover a broad range of issues, and we work very internationally.
Peter L. Berger
We only see what we aim at.
Jordan B. Peterson
It is cruel, you know, that music should be so beautiful. It has the beauty of loneliness and of pain: of strength and freedom. The beauty of disappointment and never-satisfied love. The cruel beauty of nature, and everlasting beauty of monotony.
Benjamin Britten
Audacity augments courage hesitation, fear.
Publilius Syrus
Never to lie is to have no lock to your door, you are never wholly alone.
Elizabeth Bowen
Failure doesn't mean you are a failure it just means you haven't succeeded yet.
Robert H. Schuller
Part of the secret of a success in life is to eat what you like and let the food fight it out inside.
Mark Twain
The mountains are great stone bells; they clang together like nuns. Who shushed the stars? There are a thousand million galaxies easily seen in the Palomar reflector; collisions between and among them do, of course, occur. But these collisions are very long and silent slides. Billions of stars sift amont each other untouched, too distant even to be moved, heedless as always, hushed. The sea pronounces something, over and over, in a hoarse whisper; I cannot quite make it out. But God knows I have tried.
Annie Dillard
Pity the selfishness of lovers: it is brief, a forlorn hope; it is impossible.
I had a lot of pimples too. One day I fell asleep in the library. I woke up and a blind man was reading my face.
Rodney Dangerfield
Anyone who has played the game professionally, you're always taught that the ball is the most important, most precious thing, so when the ball hits the ground, it's always a mad scramble. It's amazing how many times there is a fumble, and the person who recovers it initially doesn't walk away with the ball.
Barry Sanders
You and I are told we must choose between a left or right, but I suggest there is no such thing as a left or right. There is only an up or down. Up to man's age-old dream -- the maximum of individual freedom consistent with order --or down to the ant heap of totalitarianism. Regardless of their sincerity, their humanitarian motives, those who would sacrifice freedom for security have embarked on this downward path.
Ronald Reagan
To my mind the old masters are not art their value is in their scarcity.
Thomas A. Edison
Never apologize for showing feeling. When you do so, you apologize for the truth.
Benjamin Disraeli
A girl phoned me the other day and said... 'Come on over, there's nobody home.' I went over. Nobody was home.
My life is an indivisible whole, and all my activities run into one another and they have their rise in my insatiable love of mankind
Mahatma Gandhi
If epic poetry is a definite species, the sagas do not fall within it.
Lascelles Abercrombie
Hope is a good thing - maybe the best thing, and no good thing ever dies
Stephen King
First seek happiness from within, then you will find it without.
Ogwo David Emenike
Brave words. I've heard them before, from thousands of species across thousands of worlds, since long before you were created. But, now they are all Borg.
The Borg Queen
It seems we need someone to know us as we are--with all we have done--and forgive us. We need to tell. We need to be whole in someone's sight: Know this about me, and yet love me. Please. ...for...others it seems there must be a person to redeem us to ourselves. It isn't enough, apparently, to know oneself. To forgive oneself in secret.
Sue Miller
Most children threaten at times to run away from home. This is the only thing that keeps some parents going.
Phyllis Diller
There comes a time in every rightly constructed boy's life that he has a raging desire to go somewhere and dig for hidden treasure
It were a real increase of human happiness, could all young men from the age of nineteen be covered under barrels, or rendered otherwise invisible and there left to follow their lawful studies and callings, till they emerged, sadder and wiser, at the age of twenty-five.
Thomas Carlyle
Here is the test to find whether your mission on Earth is finished: if you're alive, it isn't.
Richard Bach
I think of life as a good book. The further you get into it, the more it begins to make sense.
Harold S. Kushner
In the end, it's not the years in your life that count. It's the life in your years.
Abraham Lincoln
I am going to take something I learned over in Israel. Their Independence Day is preceded the 24 hours before with Memorial Day, so it gives them a chance to serve and reflect and then celebrate. I am going to try to start that tradition here in America.
Glenn Beck
The road to excess leads to the palace of wisdom.
William Blake
Our incomes are like our shoes if too small, they gall and pinch us but if too large, they cause us to stumble and to trip.
John Locke
Maxi dresses are also my best friend. They take me from my morning coffee, to the beach, to nighttime.
