In a meadow full of flowers, you cannot walk through and breathe those smells and see all those colors and remain angry. We have to support the beauty, the poetry, of life.
You cannot, it seems, let children run about the streets. People who have seen them running wild in Russia say that the sight is not a pleasant one.
Virginia Woolf
All I can ask from society is that it please stop telling me why I should like sports.
John Hodgman
You can get help from teachers, but you are going to have to learn a lot by yourself, sitting alone in a room.
Dr. Seuss
Fear is a very explosive emotion, but it has a short life span. It's the sprint. The marathon is hope.
Mike Huckabee
It destroys one's nerves to be amiable every day to the same human being.
Benjamin Disraeli
The left ask people to believe that there is no conflict between feminism and the family.
Christopher Lasch
But friendship is the breathing rose, with sweets in every fold.
Oliver Wendell Holmes
I think it is really sad that when people lose their homes they kind of lose their minds too.
Margaret Cho
Opinion is the medium between knowledge and ignorance.
Plato
You can be cool and at the same time respect your woman, who will hopefully become your wife, who will hopefully become the mother of your kids. America needs to get back to family values.
Martin Lawrence
If misery loves company, misery has company enough.
Henry David Thoreau
Woman, or more precisely put, perhaps, marriage, is the representative of life with which you are meant to come to terms.
Franz Kafka
I get hired to hack into computers now and sometimes it's actually easier than it was years ago.
Kevin Mitnick
The very idea of marriage is basic to recognition as equals in our society any status short of that is inferior, unjust, and unconstitutional.
Ted Olson
You can't study comedy it's within you. It's a personality. My humor is an attitude.
Don Rickles
One does not need buildings, money, power, or status to practice the Art of Peace. Heaven is right where you are standing, and that is the place to train.
Morihei Ueshiba
I have a Viking stove. The color is butter lemon, and I had to wait several months for it, because that color wasn't available and I really wanted butter lemon! But I don't know that it's seriously ever been cooked on. I mean, I make tea every morning. Does that count?
Andy Cohen
Statisticians, like artists, have the bad habit of falling in love with their models.
George E. P. Box
The wise man does not expose himself needlessly to danger, since there are few things for which he cares sufficiently; but he is willing, in great crises, to give even his life--knowing that under certain conditions it is not worth while to live. He is of a disposition to do men service, though he is ashamed to have a service done to him. To confer a kindness is a mark of superiority; to receive one is a mark of subordination... He does not take part in public displays... He is open in his dislikes and preferences; he talks and acts frankly, because of his contempt for men and things... He is never fired with admiration, since there is nothing great in his eyes. He cannot live in complaisance with others, except it be a friend; complaisance is the characteristic of a slave... He never feels malice, and always forgets and passes over injuries... He is not fond of talking... It is no concern of his that he should be praised, or that others should be blamed. He does not speak evil of others, even of his enemies, unless it be to themselves. His carriage is sedate, his voice deep, his speech measured; he is not given to hurry, for he is concerned about only a few things; he is not prone to vehemence, for he thinks nothing very important. A shrill voice and hasty steps come to a man through care... He bears the accidents of life with dignity and grace, making the best of his circumstances, like a skillful general who marshals his limited forces with the strategy of war... He is his own best friend, and takes delight in privacy whereas the man of no virtue or ability is his own worst enemy, and is afraid of solitude.
Aristotle
You always hear people saying, 'I hope I'm not turning into my dad', but I'd be honoured if I became half as decent a bloke as he is.
Johnny Vegas
The fear of death is the most unjustified of all fears, for there's no risk of accident for someone who's dead.
Albert Einstein
We should all grow our own food and do our own waste processing, we really should.
Bill Gates
If we don't believe in freedom of expression for people we despise, we don't believe in it at all.
Noam Chomsky
Weel, ma´am' said Stephen, making the best of it, with a smile; 'when I ha´finished off, I mun quit this part, and try another. Fortnet or misfortnet, a man can but try; there´s now to be done wi´out tryin -cept laying down and dying.
Charles Dickens
I never took guitar lessons. I took classical piano lessons from the age of six when we lived in Holland.
Eddie Van Halen
Mr. Henry James writes fiction as if it were a painful duty.
Oscar Wilde
Remember that wherever your heart is, there you will find your treasure.
Paulo Coelho
Both in thought and in feeling, even though time be real, to realise the unimportance of time is the gate of wisdom.
Bertrand Russell
Don't wish me happiness - I don't expect to be happy it's gotten beyond that, somehow. Wish me courage and strength and a sense of humor - I will need them all.
Anne Morrow Lindbergh
Recommend to your children virtue; that alone can make them happy, not gold.
Ludwig van Beethoven
To know intense joy without a strong bodily frame, one must have an enthusiastic soul.
George Eliot
For truly it is to be noted, that children's plays are not sports, and should be deemed as their most serious actions.
Michel de Montaigne
Man has no right to kill his brother. It is no excuse that he does so in uniform: he only adds the infamy of servitude to the crime of murder.
Percy Bysshe Shelley
But Time, unfortunately, though it makes animals and vegetables bloom and fade with amazing punctuality, has no such simple effect upon the mind of man. The mind of man, moreover, works with equal strangeness upon the body of time. An hour, once it lodges in the queer element of the human spirit, may be stretched to fifty or a hundred times its clock length; on the other hand, an hour may be accurately represented on the timepiece of the mind by one second.
I bought some batteries, but they weren't included.
Steven Wright
Unfortunately, religion, like patriotism, is easy to misuse for political purposes.
Kjell Magne Bondevik
The world knows that America will never start a war. This generation of Americans has had enough of war and hate... we want to build a world of peace where the weak are secure and the strong are just.
John F. Kennedy
A plant-based diet has actually simplified my life in so many ways. For breakfast, I try to get my first serving of fruits and nuts for fuel. I'm completely addicted to coconut water for the electrolytes and hydration.
Michelle Forbes
He who has a why can endure any how
Friedrich Nietzsche
Theology is a science of mind applied to God.
Henry Ward Beecher
