The objective of cleaning is not just to clean, but to feel happiness living within that environment.
I perfectly understood President Obama's attitude throughout the French presidential campaign. He had no reason to distance himself from Nicolas Sarkozy. It's the basic solidarity that leaders who worked together owe to each other.
Francois Hollande
Then he heard a terrible cry that pulled at his insides, that expressed agony of a kind that neither flame nor curse could cause, and he stood up, swaying, more frightened than he had been that day, more frightened, perhaps, than he had been in his whole life...
J.K. Rowling
The Word of God well understood and religiously obeyed is the shortest route to spiritual perfection. And we must not select a few favorite passages to the exclusion of others. Nothing less than a whole Bible can make a whole Christian.
Aiden Wilson Tozer
I don't hate humanity and I'm not interested in people who do. Although, it's funny, actually, some of my favorite writers really do. Like Martin Amis. My dirty secret. 'London Fields' is one of my favorite books ever. And it's indefensible! But he's so funny... I forgive him everything.
Elizabeth Gilbert
Remember, we Christians think man lives for ever. Therefore, what really matters is those little marks or twists on the central, inside part of the soul which are going to turn it, in the long run, into a heavenly or a hellish creature.
C.S. Lewis
Apparently wizards poke their noses in everywhere!
No matter what he does, every person on earth plays a central role in the history of the world. And normally he doesn't know it.
Paulo Coelho
You cannot expect the guy who drove the car into the ditch to navigate it out of the ditch. You have to put a new driver in the seat. I'm not saying the new driver is going to be any better, but we need a new driver. Kerry is the only choice.
John Mellencamp
The crucial task of old age is balance: keeping just well enough, just brave enough, just gay and interested and starkly honest enough to remain a sentient human being.
Florida Scott-Maxwell
Nor dread nor hope attend a dying animal a man awaits his end dreading and hoping all.
William Butler Yeats

Abraham Lincoln
What torments of grief you endured, from evils that never arrived
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Poetry is a succession of questions which the poet constantly poses.
Vicente Aleixandre
Experience is the name every one gives to their mistakes.
Oscar Wilde
I don't know many people, if any, who have had some straight line toward success. I mean, they start here, they work hard, they've got what it takes, and they just go straight to the top over some number of years. Most people get a little failure.
Sam Donaldson
Age is a matter of feeling, not of years.
Washington Irving
I did graduate with a bachelor's degree in civil engineering in 1948.
Daniel J. Evans
You should be nicer to him,' a schoolmate had once said to me of some awfully ill-favored boy. 'He has no friends.' This, I realized with a pang of pity that I can still remember, was only true as long as everybody agreed to it.
Christopher Hitchens
At that time, I had recently finished a book called Amazing Grace, which many people tell me is a very painful book to read. Well, if it was painful to read, it was also painful to write. I had pains in my chest for two years while I was writing that book.
Jonathan Kozol
Cosmic Ordering is absent in body but present in spirit.
Stephen Richards
Fame is not just. She never finely or discriminatingly praises, but coarsely hurrahs.
Henry David Thoreau

Rand Paul

That man is idle who can do something better
I shall strike the stars with my unlifted head.
Horace
Listen: Billy Pilgrim has come unstuck in time.
Kurt Vonnegut
A letter is an unannounced visit, the postman the agent of rude surprises. One ought to reserve an hour a week for receiving letters and afterwards take a bath.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Good thing we've still got politics in Texas - finest form of free entertainment ever invented.
Molly Ivins
When you've paid your debt to society, you need to be reconnected and re-engaged in society.
Tom Vilsack
Imagination is not something apart and hermetic, not a way of leaving reality behind it is a way of engaging reality.
Irving Howe
If you believed more in life you would fling yourself less to the moment.
I fear animals regard man as a creature of their own kind which has in a highly dangerous fashion lost its healthy animal reason -- as the mad animal, as the laughing animal, as the weeping animal, as the unhappy animal.
The aphorism in which I am the first master among Germans, are the forms of eternity; my ambition is to say in ten sentences what everyone else says in a book -- what everyone else does not say in a book.
In the mountains the shortest route is from peak to peak, but for that you must have long legs. Aphorisms should be peaks: and those to whom they are spoken should be big and tall of stature.
At present nothing is possible except to extend the area of sanity little by little. We cannot act collectively. We can only spread our knowledge outwards from individual to individual, generation after generation.
George Orwell
It's time to get real, folks. Hope and change ain't working. Hope and change is not a solution. Hope and change is not a job.
Herman Cain
The architect represents neither a Dionysian nor an Apollinian condition: here it is the mighty act of will, the will which moves mountains, the intoxication of the strong will, which demands artistic expression. The most powerful men have always inspired the architects; the architect has always been influenced by power.
Every generation needs a new revolution.
Thomas Jefferson
Love is a state in which a man sees things most decidedly as they are not.
We regard God as an airman regards his parachute; it's there for emergencies but he hopes he'll never have to use it
