I love her and that's the beginning and end of everything.

O Time and change! -- with hair as gray as was my sire's that winter day, how strange it seems, with so much gone of life and love, to still live on!

John Greenleaf Whittier

Since light travels faster than sound, people appear bright until you hear them speak.

Anon.

There are some circles in America where it seems to be more socially acceptable to carry a hand-gun than a packet of cigarettes.

Katharine Whitehorn

It is the duty of those serving the people in public place closely to limit public expenditures to the actual needs of the government economically administered, because this bounds the right of the government to extract tribute from the earnings of labor or the property of the citizen, and because public extravagance begets extravagance among the people. We should never be ashamed of the simplicity and prudential economies which are best suited to the operation of a republican form of government and most compatible with the mission of the American people. Those who are selected for a limited time to manage public affairs are still of the people, and may do much by their example to encourage, consistently with the dignity of their official functions, that plain way of life which among their fellow-citizens aids integrity and promotes thrift and prosperity.

Grover Cleveland

A soiled baby, with a neglected nose, cannot be conscientiously regarded as a thing of beauty.

Mark Twain

Virtue is like a rich stone, best plain set.

Francis Bacon

I always keep a ball in the car. You never know.

Hakeem Olajuwon

To attempt this would be like seeing without eyes or directing the gaze of knowledge behind one's own eye. Modern science can acknowledge no other than this epistemological stand-point.

Wilhelm Dilthey

There is little premium in poetry in a world that thinks of Pound and Whitman as a weight and a sampler, not an Ezra, a Walt, a thing of beauty, a joy forever.

Anna Quindlen

HopeSmiles from the threshold of the year to come, Whispering 'it will be happier'...

Alfred Tennyson

We all love Linux, but it's also a fact that some people might not be able to migrate.

Miguel de Icaza

Laws can embody standards; governments can enforce laws--but the final task is not a task for government. It is a task for each and every one of us. Every time we turn our heads the other way when we see the law flouted--when we tolerate what we know to be wrong--when we close our eyes and ears to the corrupt because we are too busy, or too frightened--when we fail to speak up and speak out--we strike a blow against freedom and decency and justice.

Robert Francis Kennedy
