A.A. (Alan Alexandra) Milne

Associate reverently, as much as you can, with your loftiest thoughts.

Henry David Thoreau

The truth is a snare: you cannot have it, without being caught. You cannot have the truth in such a way that you catch it, but only in such a way that it catches you.

Soren Kierkegaard

I think God made a woman to be strong and not to be trampled under the feet of men. I've always felt this way because my mother was a very strong woman, without a husband.

Little Richard

Karl Marx

If you haven't got any charity in your heart, you have the worst kind of heart trouble.

Bob Hope
