Both positive and negative thinking are contagious.
Victor eyed the glistening tubes in the tray around Dibbler's neck. They smelled appetizing. They always did. And then you bit into them, and learned once again that Cut-me-own-Throat Dibbler could find a use for bits of an animal that the animal didn't know it had got. Dibbler had worked out that with enough fried onions and mustard people would eat anything.
Terry Pratchett
They (the days) come and go like muffled and veiled figures sent from a distant friendly party; but they say nothing, and if we do not use the gifts they bring, they carry them as silently away
Ralph Waldo Emerson
There's a pizza place near where I live that sells only slices. in the back you can see a guy tossing a triangle in the air.
Steven Wright
The Middle East is ailing. The malady stems from pervasive violence, shortages of food, water and educational opportunities, discrimination against women and - the most virulent cause of all - the absence of freedom.
Shimon Peres
Poverty - it is life near the bone, where it is sweetest
Henry David Thoreau
As for methods of prayer, all are good, as long as they are sincere.
Victor Hugo
However, he wrote some verses on her, and very pretty they were. And so ended his affection, said Elizabeth impatiently. There has been many a one, I fancy, overcome in the same way. I wonder who first discovered the efficacy of poetry in driving away love! I have been used to consider poetry as the food of love, said Darcy. Of a fine, stout, healthy love it may. Everything nourishes what is strong already. But if it be only a slight, thin sort of inclination, I am convinced that one good sonnet will starve it entirely away.
Jane Austen
Values are principles and ideas that bring meaning to the seemingly mundane experience of life. A meaningful life that ultimately brings happiness and pride requires you to respond to temptations as well as challenges with honor, dignity, and courage.
Laura Schlessinger
My background is basically scientific math. My Dad was a physicist, so I have it in my blood somewhere. Scientific method is very important to me. I think anything that contradicts it is probably not true.
John Astin

Kurt Vonnegut
Life has loveliness to sell, all beautiful and splendid things, blue waves whitened on a cliff, soaring fire that sways and sings, and children's faces looking up, holding wonder like a cup.
Sara Teasdale
Our culture promotes individuality, while the Amish are deeply entrenched in community. To us, if someone stands out, it's no big deal because diversity is respected and expected. To the Amish, there's no room for deviation from the norm. It's important to fit in, because that similarity of identity is what defines the society. If you don't fit in, the consequences are psychological tragic, you stand alone when all you've ever known is being part of the group.
Jodi Picoult
So little done, so much to do.
Cecil Rhodes
Literature is the Thought of thinking Souls.
Thomas Carlyle
How vain is painting, which is admired for reproducing the likeness of things whose originals are not admired.
Blaise Pascal
Beautiful isle of the sea, Smile on the brow of the waters.
George Cooper
God alone knows the future, but only an historian can alter the past.
Ambrose Bierce
I think there are so many ways to become interested in music. I believe signs of sustained interest gives a sense of the right time. Music, if thought of as a language, would perhaps indicate that as early as possible is not so bad. I do believe that a really nurturing first teacher that makes the child love something is crucial.
Yo-Yo Ma
It's true; life really is generous to those who pursue their Personal Legend.
Paulo Coelho
One morning, just like 9/11, there's going to be a disaster. I have yet to see the United Nations do anything effective with either Iran or North Korea.
Newt Gingrich
True freedom requires the rule of law and justice, and a judicial system in which the rights of some are not secured by the denial of rights to others.
Jonathan Sacks
Wailing and lamentation befit those who stand before the throne of life and depart without leaving in its hands a drop of the sweat of their brows or the blood of their hearts.
Kahlil Gibran
But although Australia was also involved in the Vietnam conflict, I can remember my dad telling us that if we were in Australia, we wouldn't be drafted until we were 20.
Mel Gibson
Believing everyone is dangerous, but believing nobody is more dangerous.
Abraham Lincoln
Translation is the art of failure.
Umberto Eco
Honor to a Spaniard, no matter how dishonest, is as real a thing as water, wine, or olive oil. There is honor among pickpockets and honor among whores. It is simply that the standards differ.
Ernest Hemingway
People don't place their trust in government or company pension plans they have to be self-reliant.
Scott Cook
One should never trust a woman who tells her real age. If she tells that, she'll tell anything.
Oscar Wilde
True love doesn't happen right away it's an ever-growing process. It develops after you've gone through many ups and downs, when you've suffered together, cried together, laughed together.
Ricardo Montalban
All things are subject to interpretation. Whichever interpretation prevails at a given time is a function of power and not truth.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Friendship is a union of spirits, a marriage of hearts, and the bond there of virtue
Samuel Johnson
I was told to challenge every spiritual teacher, every world leader to utter the one sentence that no religion, no political party, and no nation on the face of the earth will dare utter: 'Ours is not a better way, ours is merely another way.
Neale Donald Walsch
A classic is a book which people praise and don't read.
Mark Twain
Cosmic Ordering is like an echo! What you ask for comes back.
Stephen Richards
I think a lot of writers, male and female, write as if their parents were killed in a car accident when they were 2, and they have no one to hold accountable. And unfortunately, I don't have that. I have parents who I care about what they think.
Mindy Kaling
I haven't any right to criticize books, and I don't do it except when I hate them. I often want to criticize Jane Austen, but her books madden me so that I can't conceal my frenzy from the reader; and therefore I have to stop every time I begin. Every time I read Pride and Prejudice I want to dig her up and beat her over the skull with her own shin-bone.
Would you like to meet him? I could summon him up in a trice of you like. Being a warlock, and all.
Cassandra Clare
Any time you end a relationship, and everyone has ended plenty in their life, it's always a tough thing and hard to get over.
Adam Brody
It is hard to feel individually responsible with respect to the invisible processes of a huge and distant government.

One wants to live, of course, indeed one only stays alive by virtue of the fear of death, but I think, as I thought then, that it is better to die violently and not too old.
George Orwell
