Would you live with ease, do what you should, and not what you please. Success has ruined many a man.
I smiled ruefully to myself, knowing I had already experienced a far greater and deeper union with this man than that which propriety was so busy guarding against. I had seen and accepted our fate here, tonight, on the crest of this ancient hill, and all other ceremonies would be just that: rituals to please the people and make public the commitment that had been made in the privacy of my own heart.
Persia Woolley
City people make most of the fuss about the charms of country life.
Mason Cooley
Zeal is that pure and heavenly flame, The fire of love supplies ; While that which often bears the name, Is self in a disguise. True zeal is merciful and mild, Can pity and forbear ; The false is headstrong, fierce and wild, And breathes revenge and war.
John Newton
On the whole, the psychological work of the last quarter of the nineteenth century emphasized the study of consciousness to the neglect of the total life of intellect and character.
Edward Thorndike

Don Rickles
You are a firework!
Katy Perry
Your feelings wouldn't get hurt if you were honest with yourself
Ty Gray
In the natural state no concept of God can arise, and the false one which one makes for himself is harmful. Hence the theory of natural religion can be true only where there is no science; therefore it cannot bind all men together.
Immanuel Kant
I love my jokes.
Dave Chappelle
I found myself facing a Christian Science Reading Room. My God! It had been eight years. There had never been any renunciation of religion on my part, but like so many people, it was a gradual fading away.
Henry Fonda
I guessed life was like that. You gained and you lost, and if you saved anything from the ruins, even if only a shred of self-respect, it was enough to take you through the next bit.
Dick Francis
It is deeply satisfying to win a prize in front of a lot of people.
E.B. White
It's sad when the people you love most become a bitter memory.
Kiera Forsythe
Enjoy every ounce of your life, get high and be sincere to anybody that comes around you.
Salman Aditya
Do we mean love, when we say love?
Samuel Beckett
What our closest friends do for us is to teach us true selflessness. We learn that while it might be safer for them if we keep them out, true friendship means letting them in. We cannot decide for them what they are willing to suffer with us and for us. While we certainly don't want to see our friends suffer, friendship isn't about protecting each other from pain so much as it is about helping each other to become what God has called us to be.
Mark Mossa
So much of our time is preparation, so much is routine, and so much retrospect, that the path of each man's genius contracts itself to a very few hours.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Life is a crowded superhighway with bewildering cloverleaf exits on which a man is liable to find himself speeding back in the direction he came
Peter De Vries
Who said, 'All Time's delightHath she for narrow bed;Life's troubled bubble broken'? ---That's what I said.
Walter de la Mare
I could tell I loved her from the moment I saw her, right after she opened the trunk, untied me, and took off my blindfold.?
Jarod Kintz
Lust likes to rush, while love hates to wait.
Anthony Liccione
Perhaps it is music that will save the world.
Shinichi Suzuki
This was not a fearie tale. This was not the movies. This was life. It hurt more. It was excruciating. It was excruciatingly beautiful.
Francesca Lia Block
Give into love or live in fear.
Jonathan Larson
Truth is great and its effectiveness endures.
Ptahhotep
I believe home is where the heart can be open and loving with a sense of security. It must not be a place of fear.
Marilyn Barnicke Belleghem
The best relationships in our lives are the best not because they have been the happiest ones, they are that way because they have stayed strong through the most tormentful of storms.
Pandora Poikilos
Try, reach, want, and you may fall. But even if you do, you might be okay anyway. If you don't try, you save nothing, because you might as well be dead.
Ann Brashares
Oh! hush these suspicions, Fair Imogine said, Offensive to Love and to me! For if ye be living, or if ye be dead, I swear by the Virgin, that none in your stead Shall Husband of Imogine be.
Matthew Lewis
The three-toed sloth lives a peaceful, vegetarian life in perfect harmony with its environment. A good-natured smile is forever on its lips...I have seen that smile with my own eyes. I am not one given to projecting human traits and emotions onto animals, but many a time during that month in Brazil, looking up at a sloth in repose, I felt I was in the presence of upside-down yogis deep in meditation or hermits deep in prayer, wise beings whose intense imaginative lives were beyond the reach of scientific probing.
Yann Martel
Life didn't explode in the sunshine and pretty places. Life took the strongest root with a little bit of rain and with a whole lot of shit for fertilizer. Although love could grow in times of peace, it tempered in battle.
Karen Marie Moning
I'm sure you could have. Fending off unwanted male attention is a skill every attractive woman must acquire. But you're also a lady who was reluctant to cause a scene.. (Hammond Cross)
Sandra Brown
At that moment, beauty itself struck me as a kind of painful melancholy.
Arthur Golden
Students of the Ichi school Way of strategy should train from the start with the sword and long sword in either hand. This is the truth: when you sacrifice your life, you must make fullest use of your weaponry. It is false not to do so, and to die with a weapon yet undrawn.
Miyamoto Musashi
The best way to insure you achieve the greatest satisfaction out of life is to behave intentionally.
Deborah Day
The day she was born,her grandfather made her a ring of silver and a polished stone, because he loved her already.
Aliki
As someone who grew up in the Bronx, I certainly learned my share of four-letter words, but none are more powerful than nice.
Linda Kaplan Thaler
It's not about how to achieve your dreams, it's about how to lead your life, ... If you lead your life the right way, the karma will take care of itself, the dreams will come to you.
Randy Pausch
Visit not miracle-mongers and those who exhibit occult powers. These men are stragglers from the path of Truth. Their minds have become entangled in psychic powers, which are like veritable meshes in the way of the pilgrim to Brahman. Beware of these powers, and desire them not.
Ramakrishna
If I am not mistaken, psychology, psychiatry and some branches of sociology, not to speak about the so-called philosophy of history, are even more affected by what I have called the scientistic prejudice, and by specious claims of what science can achieve.
Friedrich Hayek
