The greatest gift that you can give yourself is a little bit of your own attention.
Growing up is losing some illusions, in order to acquire others.

I haven't had an orthodox career, and I've wanted more than anything to have your respect. The first time I didn't feel it, but this time I feel it, and I can't deny the fact that you like me, right now, you like me!
Sally Field
God is, even though the whole world deny him. Truth stands, even if there be no public support. It is self-sustained.
Mahatma Gandhi

James Augustine
That's why I began doing makeup in the first place: I was hoping that through helping people see the beauty in themselves, I could try and find it in me.
Kevyn Aucoin
If sufficient number of management layers are superimposed on top of each other, it can be assured that disaster is not left to chance.
Norman Augustine
Believing with you that religion is a matter which lies solely between man and his God, that he owes account to none other for his faith or his worship, that the legislative powers of government reach actions only, and not opinions, I contemplate with sovereign reverence that act of the whole American people which declared that their legislature should 'make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof,' thus building a wall of separation between Church and State.
Thomas Jefferson
A voice cannot carry the tongue and the lips that gave it wings. Alone must it seek the ether. And alone and without his nest shall the eagle fly across the sun.
Kahlil Gibran
I have nothing against respecting people who lived before, but we have no responsibility toward them.
Leon Kass

Caesar Augustus
These are Canadian and United States intelligence and law enforcement offices who are working in teams and who are using good intelligence and good law enforcement to really stop the criminals and terrorists before they ever get to the border.
Paul Cellucci

Plato
To listen to some devout people, one would imagine that God never laughs.
Ghose Aurobindo
I think positive. I always think we're going to score. Two minutes is a lot of time if you have timeouts and you're throwing every down. You have to make the right decisions. I've always had great receivers, which helps. It's not just me doing it.
Dan Marino
The fly that touches honey cannot use it's wings; so too the soul that clings to spiritual sweetness ruins it's freedom and hinders contemplation.
But what could i lose by continuing that had not already been lost?
John Green
I was hit by a car once on my bike, but I still rode home.
Amy Winehouse
...But there's always suffering, Pudge. Homework or malaria or having a boyfriend who lives far away when there's a good-looking boy lying next to you. Suffering is universal. It's the one thing Buddhists, Christians, and Muslims are all worried about.
Faithful women are all alike, they think only of their fidelity, never of their husbands.
Jean Giraudoux
Honesty: The best of all the lost arts.
Mark Twain
I am the son of a small and far-away nation and the other laureates have all come from different countries from all over the world and we all were equally received here with signs of sympathy.
Albert Szent-Gyorgyi
The yoke a man creates for himself by wrong-doing will breed hate in the kindliest nature...
George Eliot
I will say something still easier. Take a single flea or louse-since you tempt and mock our God with this talk about curing a lame horse-and if, after combining all the powers and concentrating all the efforts both of your good and all your supporters, you succeed in killing it in the name of free choice, you shall be victorious, your case shall be established, and we too will come at once and worship that god of yours, that wonderful killer of the louse.
Martin Luther King Jr.
There are things known and there are things unknown, and in between are the doors of perception.
Aldous Huxley
You couldn't have fed the '50s into a computer and come out with the '60s.
Paul Kantner
Nature has always had more force than education.
Voltaire
I couldn't help but say to Mr. Gorbachev just think how easy his task and mine might be in these meetings that we held if suddenly there was a threat to this world from another planet. We'd find out once and for all that we really are all human beings here on this earth together.
Ronald Reagan
Suffering is but another name for the teaching of experience, which is the parent of instruction and the schoolmaster of life.
Horace
America owes most of its social prejudices to the exaggerated religious opinions of the different sects which were so instrumental in establishing the colonies.
James Fenimore Cooper
n. A person of low taste, more interested in himself than in me.
Ambrose Bierce
A monarchy is the most expensive of all forms of government, the regal state requiring a costly parade, and he who depends on his own power to rule, must strengthen that power by bribing the active and enterprising whom he cannot intimidate.
With women, I've got a long bamboo pole with a leather loop on the end. I slip the loop around their necks so they can't get away or come too close. Like catching snakes.
Marlon Brando
A refined simplicity is the characteristic of all high bred deportment, in every country, and a considerate humanity should be the aim of all beneath it.
It is unfair to blame man too fiercely for being pugnacious he learned the habit from Nature.
Christopher Morley
It was quite impossible to describe.Here is what it looked like.It looked like a piano sounds shortly after being dropped down a well. It tasted yellow, and it felt Paisley. It smelled like the total eclipse of the moon.
Terry Pratchett
Slavery is no more sinful, by the Christian code, than it is sinful to wear a whole coat, while another is in tatters, to eat a better meal than a neighbor, or otherwise to enjoy ease and plenty, while our fellow creatures are suffering and in want.
However, frat-boy humor is funny and it always will be.
Craig Kilborn
See how he cowers and sneaks, how vaguely all the day he fears, not being immortal nor divine, but the slave and prisoner of his own opinion of himself, a fame won by his own deeds.
Henry David Thoreau
Candor is a proof of both a just frame of mind, and of a good tone of breeding. It is a quality that belongs equally to the honest man and to the gentleman.
