Little children are still the symbol of the eternal marriage between love and duty.
George Eliot

Taylor Caldwell
Sanely applied advertising could remake the world.
Stuart Chase
I think I'm actually quite a materialistic person, I value what it takes to make a car or build a nice house. Money does change things, but how it changes people depends on how they react to it.
Roland Gift
I find it difficult to believe that words have no meaning in themselves, hard as I try. Habits of a lifetime are not lightly thrown aside.
Entertainers are there to entertain. They aren't there to teach your children the lessons that you haven't bothered to teach them at home yourself.
Wentworth Miller
Let us not disdain glory too much; nothing is finer, except virtue. The height of happiness would be to unite both in this life.
Vicomte De Chateaubriand
Education is when you read the fine print experience is what you get when you don't.
Pete Seeger
Aristocracy has three successive ages. First superiority s, then privileges and finally vanities. Having passed from the first, it degenerates in the second and dies in the third.
There seems to be no lengths to which humorless people will not go to analyze humor. It seems to worry them.
Robert Benchley
Perfect works are rare, because they must be produced at the happy moment when taste and genius unite; and this rare conjuncture, like that of certain planets, appears to occur only after the revolution of several cycles, and only lasts for an instant.
When I have a terrible need of - shall I say the word - religion. Then I go out and paint the stars.
Vincent Van Gogh
Without taste genius is only a sublime kind of folly. That sure touch which the lyre gives back the right note and nothing more, is even a rarer gift than the creative faculty itself.
Cultivation to the mind is as necessary as food to the body.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Love is the ability and willingness to allow those that you care for to be what they choose for themselves without any insistence that they satisfy you.
Wayne Dyer
Scandal is what one half of the world takes pleasure inventing, and the other half in believing.
Paul Chatfield
The little I know of it has not served to raise my opinion of what is vulgarly called the Monied Interest; I mean, that blood-sucker, that muckworm, that calls itself the friend of government.
William Pitt The Elder Chatham
I am now almost certain that we need more radiation for better health.
John Cameron
The poorest man may in his cottage bid defiance to all the forces of the Crown. It may be frail -- its roof may shake -- the wind may blow through it -- the storm may enter -- the rain may enter -- but the King of England cannot enter! -- all his forces dare not cross the threshold of the ruined tenement!
In those days, it didn't take much imagination to come up with something that required great lyric development skills. You just thought of an experience that you might have gone through, and write it down.
Phil Harris
There is something behind the throne greater than the King himself.
Clearly you need a new team to go out to bat on your behalf to fight for your rights and to report back to you personally and to the leadership of the IFP.
Mangosuthu Buthelezi
I cannot give them my confidence; pardon me, gentlemen, confidence is a plant of slow growth in an aged bosom: youth is the season of credulity.
No, like I said, my dad was never really part of the tennis. His involvement around what I did with the tennis and with my mom and my grandparents was really not a part of my life.
Jimmy Connors
There is a time for all things -- except marriage my dear.
Thomas Chatterton
Digital reading will completely take over. It's lightweight and it's fantastic for sharing. Over time it will take over.
Bill Gates
Some of my best friends are Venture Capitalists, but let's face it, a hamster with Alzheimer's could make those kind of numbers. It's great work if you can get it.
Scott Adams
It is my PRIDE, my damned, native, unconquerable Pride, that plunges me into Distraction. You must know that 19 - 20th of my Composition is Pride. I must either live a Slave, a Servant; to have no Will of my own, no Sentiments of my own which I may freely declare as such; --or DIE --perplexing alternative!
When I was in jail, I was a lot of people's favorite person. I practically ran the jail. I had more freedom than the police.
Flavor Flav
The idealist walks on tiptoe, the materialist on his heels.
Malcolm De Chazal
You can get digital technology that almost is film quality, and go make little films and do everything you can to find a little understanding of your own voice and it will grow - Don't take no for an answer - Take every opportunity you can to do something.
Jon Voight
The flower in the vase smiles, but no longer laughs.
We sometimes laugh from ear to ear, but it would be impossible for a smile to be wider than the distance between our eyes.
The lure of the distant and the difficult is deceptive. The great opportunity is where you are.
John Burroughs
