All people are equal, it is not birth, it is virtue alone that makes the difference.
In light of these facts Republicans have put forth a variety of proposals to make Social Security remain solvent for future generations. But up to this point, Democrats have chosen to oppose our good faith efforts and insist that indeed there is no problem.
John Doolittle
The years seem to rush by now, and I think of death as a fast approaching end of a journey - double and treble the reason for loving as well as working while it is day
George Eliot
If you take different mythologies from different cultures, the names may change and the story lines may vary but there is always something in common.
Maynard James Keenan
I feel like I'm still learning a lot. I think there's a tendency for people who are just doing their first couple of films that I see now where they seem to be really resentful of the technical limitations that come along with filmmaking.
Anna Kendrick
Don't cry because it's over. Smile because it happened.
Dr. Seuss
Respect... is appreciation of the separateness of the other person, of the ways in which he or she is unique.
Annie Gottlieb
We are the only real aristocracy in the world: the aristocracy of money.
George Bernard Shaw
Heroes didn't leap tall buildings or stop bullets with an outstretched hand; they didn't wear boots and capes. They bled, and they bruised, and their superpowers were as simple as listening, or loving. Heroes were ordinary people who knew that even if their own lives were impossibly knotted, they could untangle someone else's. And maybe that one act could lead someone to rescue you right back.
Jodi Picoult
God's children and their happiness are my reasons for being.
Red Skelton
When you become a mom you just learn how to function sleep deprived and you do get used to it. I came back to work when Finley was three months old and the first few months were rough. Then somehow you learn to exist on no sleep and now when he does upon occasion sleep through the night, which is like a full six hours, you're pretty sure he's suffocating. So you don't sleep anyway.
Holly Marie Combs
If you're a nobody, if your work has no impact, then it deserves to be praised. If, however, you climb out of that state of mediocrity and are a success, then your defying 'the law' and deserve to be punished.
Paulo Coelho
Once thoroughly our own knowledge ceases to give us pleasure.
John Ruskin
Change your life! Wake up and smell the Cosmic Ordering success.
Stephen Richards
It is not, truly speaking, the labor that is divided; but the men: divided into mere segments of men --broken into small fragments and crumbs of life, so that all the little piece of intelligence that is left in a man is not enough to make a pin, or a nail, but exhausts itself in making the point of a pin or the head of a nail.
The secret of language is the secret of sympathy and its full charm is possible only to the gentle.
You get used to sadness, growing up in the mountains, I guess.
Loretta Lynn
It takes a great deal of living to get a little deal of learning.
Don't lower your expectations to meet your performance. Raise your level of performance to meet your expectations. Expect the best of yourself, and then do what is necessary to make it a reality.
Ralph Marston
How false is the conception, how frantic the pursuit, of that treacherous phantom which men call Liberty: most treacherous, indeed, of all phantoms; for the feeblest ray of reason might surely show us, that not only its attainment, but its being, was impossible. There is no such thing in the universe. There can never be. The stars have it not; the earth has it not; the sea has it not; and we men have the mockery and semblance of it only for our heaviest punishment.
Government workers often get a bad rap, but it's rare for them to receive much appreciation when government works.
Matthew Lesko
What do we, as a nation, care about books? How much do you think we spend altogether on our libraries, public or private, as compared with what we spend on our horses?
Unlike Elise, who could discover parts of a person they didn't even know were absent, you specialized in tangible, but that, I feared, was only a matter of time.
I didn't have the same fitness or ability as the other girls, so I had to beat them with my mind.
Martina Hingis
This is the fear that made fish crawl out onto dry land and evolve lungs, the fear that teaches us to run, the fear that makes us bury our dead.
John Green
It is advisable that a person know at least three things, where they are, where they are going, and what they had best do under the circumstances.
Memories which someday will become all beautiful when the last annoyance that encumbers them shall have faded out of our minds.
Mark Twain
There is no wealth but life.
No person who is well bred, kind and modest is ever offensively plain; all real deformity means want for manners or of heart.
My past has not defined me, destroyed me, deterred me, or defeated me; it has only strengthened me.
Steve Maraboli
For now I'm just enjoying being a mom. I don't want to be more famous and more rich. I want to be a good mom.
Jewel
An architect should live as little in cities as a painter. Send him to our hills, and let him study there what nature understands by a buttress, and what by a dome.
An idea, like a ghost, must be spoken to a little before it will explain itself.
Charles Dickens
We may live without her, and worship without her, but we cannot remember without her. How cold is all history, how lifeless all imagery, compared to that which the living nation writes, and the uncorrupted marble bears!
I seldom go into a natural history museum without feeling as if I were attending a funeral.
John Burroughs
Was there a language of loss? Did everyone who suffered speak a different dialect?
Bologna is the best city in Italy for food and has the least number of tourists. With its medieval beauty, it has it all.
Mario Batali
When we build, let us think that we build for ever.
They are good furniture pictures, unworthy of praise, and undeserving of blame.
Our worst fault is our preoccupation with the faults of others.
