Life did not stop, and one had to live.
My importance to the world is relatively small. On the other hand, my importance to myself is tremendous. I am all I have to work with, to play with, to suffer and to enjoy.

Noel Coward

That strange feeling we had in the war. Have you found anything in your lives since to equal it in strength? A sort of splendid carelessness it was, holding us together.
Wit ought to be a glorious treat like caviar; never spread it about like marmalade.
Do not wish to be anything except what you are.
St. Francis De Sales
Marital intercourse is certainly holy, lawful and praiseworthy in itself and profitable to society, yet in certain circumstances it can prove dangerous, as when through excess the soul is made sick with venial sin, or through the violation and perversion of its primary end, killed by mortal sin; such perversion, detestable in proportion to its departure from the true order, being always mortal sin, for it is never lawful to exclude the primary end of marriage which is the procreation of children.
You can buy a person's time; you can buy their physical presence at a given place; you can even buy a measured number of their skilled muscular motions per hour. But you can not buy enthusiasm... you can not buy loyalty. You can not buy the devotion of hearts, minds, or souls. You must earn these.
Clarence Francis
As perfume to the flower, so is kindness to speech.
Katherine Francke
The question is, then, do we try to make things easy on ourselves or do we try to make things easy on our customers, whoever they may be?
Erwin Frand

Old age and sickness bring out the essential characteristics of a man.
Wisdom too often never comes, and so one ought not to reject it merely because it comes late.
The words of the Constitution are so unrestricted by their intrinsic meaning or by their history or by tradition or by prior decisions that they leave the individual Justice free, if indeed they do not compel him, to gather meaning not from reading the Constitution but from reading life.
It is a wise man who said that there is no greater inequality than the equal treatment of unequals.
If one man can be allowed to determine for himself what is law, every man can. That means first chaos, then tyranny. Legal process is an essential part of the democratic process.
I've always felt rock and roll was very, very wholesome music.
Aretha Franklin
If a song's about something I've experienced or that could've happened to me it's good. But if it's alien to me, I couldn't lend anything to it. Because that's what soul is all about.
When all is said and done, friendship is the only trustworthy fabric of the affections. So-called love is a delirious inhuman state of mind: when hot it substitutes indulgence for fair play; when cold it is cruel, but friendship is warmth in cold, firm ground in a bog.
Miles Franklin
For lack of a better term, they've labeled me a sex symbol. It's flattering and it should happen to every bald, overweight guy.

S. M. Frazier
