They invented hugs to let people know you love them without saying anything.
Facts are facts and will not disappear on account of your likes.
Jawaharlal Nehru
There is perhaps nothing so bad and so dangerous in life as fear.
What we need is a generation of peace.
A theory must be tempered with reality.
The policy of being too cautious is the greatest risk of all.
Great causes and little men go ill together.
The person who talks most of his own virtue is often the least virtuous.
Action itself, so long as I am convinced that it is right action, gives me satisfaction.
Action to be effective must be directed to clearly conceived ends.
Every little thing counts in a crisis.
Culture is the widening of the mind and of the spirit.
The person who runs away exposes himself to that very danger more than a person who sits quietly.
The secret to a happy marriage is to tell your spouse everything, but the essentials.
Cynthia Nelms
If it weren't for women, men would still be wearing last week's socks.
Now, on the road to freedom, I was pausing for a moment near Temuco and could hear the voice of the water that had taught me to sing.
Pablo Neruda
Saddest Poem
Clenched Soul
The Night in Isla Negra
Love Sonnet XI
The Eighth of September
The love of our private friends is the only preparatory exercise for the love of all men.
John Henry Newman
Growth is the only evidence of life.
The drama's altar isn't on the stage: it is candle-sticked and flowered in the box office. There is the gold, though there be no frankincense or myrrh; and the gospel for the day always The Play will Run for a Year. The Dove of Inspiration, of the desire for inspiration, has flown away from it; and on it's roof, now, the commonplace crow caws candidly.
Sean O'Casey
Wealth often takes away chances from men as well as poverty. There is none to tell the rich to go on striving, for a rich man makes the law that hallows and hollows his own life.
Work! labor the asparagus me of life; the one great sacrament of humanity from which all other things flow -- security, leisure, joy, art, literature, even divinity itself.
Here, the churches seemed to shrink away into eroding corners. They seem to have ceased to be essential parts of American life. They no longer give life. It is the huge buildings of commerce and trade which now align the people to attention. These in their massive manner of steel and stone say, Come unto me all ye who labor, and we will give you work.
When you take a flower in your hand and really look at it, it's your world for the moment. I want to give that world to someone else. Most people in the city rush around so, they have no time to look at a flower. I want them to see it whether they want to or not.
Georgia O'Keeffe
I hate flowers -- I paint them because they're cheaper than models and they don't move.
Marks on paper are free -- free speech -- press -- pictures all go together I suppose.
Where I was born and where and how I have lived is unimportant. It is what I have done with where I have been that should be of interest.
One can not be an American by going about saying that one is an American. It is necessary to feel America, like America, love America and then work.
This is a tough game. There are times when you've got to play hurt, when you've got to block out the pain.
Shaquille O'Neal
The old -- like children -- talk to themselves, for they have reached that hopeless wisdom of experience which knows that though one were to cry it in the streets to multitudes, or whisper it in the kiss to one's beloved, the only ears that can ever hear one's secrets are one's own!
Eugene O'Neill
When men make gods, there is no God!
Life is a solitary cell whose walls are mirrors.
There's no telling what might have happened to our defense budget if Saddam Hussein hadn't invaded Kuwait that August and set everyone gearing up for World War II. Can we count on Saddam Hussein to come along every year and resolve our defense-policy debates? Given the history of the Middle East, it's possible.
P. J. O'Rourke
Marijuana is self-punishing. It makes you acutely sensitive, and in this world, what worse punishment could there be?
No drug, not even alcohol, causes the fundamental ills of society. If we're looking for the sources of our troubles, we shouldn't test people for drugs, we should test them for stupidity, ignorance, greed and love of power.
Maybe a nation that consumes as much booze and dope as we do and has our kind of divorce statistics should pipe down about character issues. Either that or just go ahead and determine the presidency with three-legged races and pie-eating contests. It would make better TV.
Farm policy, although it's complex, can be explained. What it can't be is believed. No cheating spouse, no teen with a wrecked family car, no mayor of Washington, D.C., videotaped in flagrant has ever come up with anything as farfetched as U.S. farm policy.
