All those who seek to destroy the liberties of a democratic nation ought to know that war is the surest and shortest means to accomplish it.
Beauty, which is what is meant by art, using the word in its widest sense, is, I contend, no mere accident to human life, which people can take or leave as they choose, but a positive necessity of life.
William Morris
There's only one thing a bully respected: bigger bully.
Lisa Kleypas
For one of the first pressures that bear down on American girls is the pressure not only to be liked but to be everyone else. This initial feat of self-transformation often involves loosening one's grip on that quiet sense of inner self and hitching one's wagon to a single standard of beauty. The stress of leaping through that hoop insinuates itself into the young heart and soul with a vengeance, and insecurities go from being hard little buds of confusion to overripe, snarled and tyrannical fruits that hang on the vine as we age.
Debra Ollivier
If you want to dance the dance then you better learn the steps, the world has enough pretenders. If you want to practice sex then you better find a partner, and to love you must surrender.
Carroll Bryant
Tell all the truth but tell it slant - success in circuit lies.
Emily Dickinson
I can't go back to yesterday because I was a different person then.
Lewis Carroll
All art is abstract, because art is an abstraction of the truth.
Milford Zornes
All things counter, original, spare, strange; Whatever is fickle, freckled (who knows how?) With swift, slow; sweet, sour; adazzle, dim; He fathers-forth whose beauty is past change: Praise him.
Gerard Manley Hopkins
Truth by definition excludes.
Ravi Zacharias
I love acting, but it's much more fun taking the kids to the zoo.
Nicole Kidman
Legend has it, dwarves were made to uncover all the riches hidden on earth. Not just golds or precious stones, but the beauty in people's hearts. -Eric
Lily Blake
Real success in the kingdom of God is not about being strong and looking good and knowing all the right answers. It's about continually yielding oneself to Jesus and determining to take purposeful little steps of obedience, and the ragged reality that it's all about God and His grace at work in us.
Mary Beth Chapman
Don't worry about the future, sooner or later it's the past. If they say the feeling's gone then it's time to take it back.
Meat Loaf
She has been trying to pull her worth from him for so long. She has been trying to extract her beauty from his skin. She has been dying to be loved by him again...but he will always leave her empty
Coco J. Ginger
I simply have a marvellous life, a very lucky life.
Olivia Newton-John
Have you found someone to share your heart with? Are you giving to your community? Are you at peace with yourself? Are you trying to be as human as you can be?
Mitch Albom
Your greatest path of influence is love.
Mollie Marti
Leaders in OVER their heads is the mere result of getting ahead of their intended SEASON.
John Paul Warren
Work without vision is drudgery. Vision without work is dreaming. Work plus vision-this is destiny.
Gordon B. Hinckley
Your Highness is a juvenile excrescence that feels like the work of 11-year-old boys in love with dungeons, dragons, warrior women, pot, boobs and four-letter words. One of the heroes even wears the penis of a minotaur on a string around his neck. I hate it when that happens.
Roger Ebert
Some people believe that to find happiness, you should live each day of your life as if it's your last because that way you will appreciate every single moment you have. Other people believe that you should live each day as if it's your first because then every day can be the beginning of a new journey.
Ellen DeGeneres
To me, empathy and compassion are among the bravest of emotions ... and faith, the bravest of convictions.
Gerard de Marigny
I want a man who knows something about himself. And is appalled. And has to forgive himself to get along.
C.P. Snow
And when we finally stood up and turned to face the world, I could feel something climbing through me. I could feel it on its hands and knees inside me, rising up, rising up - and I smiled.I smiled, thinking, The hunger, because I knew it all too well.The hunger.The desire.Then, slowly, as we walked on, I felt the beauty of it, and I could taste it, like words inside my mouth.
Markus Zusak
Government has never increased the standard of living of one single human being in civilization's history. For some reason that simple truth has evaded everybody.
Steve Wynn
I would love to go back as Leela in this new series.
Louise Jameson
Having played an angel for so long, you can imagine that I've been asked to endorse any number of causes over the years. Obviously I have to limit my participation with any charity, so I decided to really concentrate on my love of children.
Roma Downey
We let ourselves loose on that simple blank piece of paper, and our bodies spill. The terror, the loveembodying our stories page after page. In a sense, the pen was our tongue, it is how we delineate the world.
Dor felt a warm, calming feeling when he said those words- she is my wife - because ever since they were children she was like the sky to him , forever around.
And all the host laughed and wept, and in the midst of their merriment and tears the clear voice of the minstrel rose like silver and gold, and all men were hushed. And he sang to them, now in the Elven-tongue, now in the speech of the West, until their hearts, wounded with sweet words, overflowed, and their joy was like swords, and they passed in thought out to regions where pain and delight flow together and tears are the very wine of blessedness.
J.R.R. Tolkien
Your inner Belly Dancer...is your inner sensuality, your highest feminity, your great esteemed self made more apparent.
Leandra J. Kalsy
There is no treasure like the human heart.
Jocelyn Murray
I loved a woman whose beauty Like the moon moved all the humming heavens to music till the stars with their tiny teeth burst into song and I fell on the ground before her while the sky hardened and she laughed and turned me down softly, I was so young.
Peter Meinke
Beauty without grace is like a fish far displaced from the water and looking at this kind of beauty is like watching that fish die right there on the cement in front of you.
C. JoyBell C.
He who thinks we are to pitch our tent here, and have attained the utmost prospect of reformation that the mortal glass wherein we contemplate can show us, till we come to beatific vision, that man by this very opinion declares that he is yet far short of truth.
John Milton
You can't shake hands with a clenched fist.
Indira Gandhi
We become what we want to be by consistently being what we want to become each day.
Richard G. Scott
Ascend, may you find so resistanceJust know that you made such a differenceAll you leave behind will live to the endThe cycle of suffering goes onBut memories of you stay strongSome day I too will fly and find you again
Alter Bridge
Time was passing like a hand waving from a train I wanted to be on. I hope you never have to think about anything as much as I think about you.
Jonathan Safran Foer
The years of old age are stalls in the cathedral of life in which for aged men to sit and listen and meditate and be patient till the service is over, and in which they may get themselves ready to say Amen at the last, with all their hearts and souls and strength.
