I used to look down on the world for being corrupt, but now I adore it for the utter magnificence of that corruption.
The whole strength of England lies in the fact that the enormous majority of the English people are snobs.
George Bernard Shaw
Hate the sin, love the sinner.
Mahatma Gandhi
If you want to know what a man's like, take a good look at how he treats his inferiors, not his equals.
J.K. Rowling
But then I sigh, with a piece of ScriptureTell them that God bids us to do evil for good; And thus I clothe my naked villanyWith odd old ends stolen out of Holy Writ;And seem a saint, when most I play the devil.
William Shakespeare
I used to always think that I'd look back on us crying and laugh, but, I never thought I'd look back on us laughing and cry.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Thus with my lips have I denounced you, while my heart, bleeding within me, called you tender names.It was love lashed by its own self that spoke. It was pride half slain that fluttered in the dust. It was my hunger for your love that raged from the housetop, while my own love, kneeling in silence, prayed your forgiveness.
Kahlil Gibran
God runs electromagnetics by wave theory on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday, and the Devil runs them by quantum theory on Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday.
William Bragg
The way I figure it, everyone gets a miracle. Like, I will probably never be struck by lightening, or win a Nobel Prize, or become the dictator of a small nation in the Pacific Islands, or contract terminal ear cancer, or spontaneously combust. But if you consider all the unlikely things together, at least one of them will probably happen to each of us. I could have seen it rain frogs. I could have stepped foot on Mars. I could have been eaten by a whale. I could have married the Queen of England or survived months at sea. But my miracle was different. My miracle was this: out of all the houses in all the subdivisions in all of Florida, I ended up living next door to Margo Roth Spiegelman.
John Green
Before taking final leave of me, my instructor inquired concerning my physical strength, and I was able to inform him that I hadn't any.
Mark Twain
Thou art a boil, a plague sore, an embossed carbuncle in my corrupted blood.
His neigh is like the bidding of a monarch, and his countenance enforces homage.
Alas for the Earth! We are overthrown and have no friend to redeem us. Beauty shall pass utterly from the Land
Stephen R. Donaldson
You see another side of Draco when he's with his dad. When Draco is with his dad, he doesn't say anything. He keeps his mouth shut. He's sort of bullied by his dad, so he acts very different.
Tom Felton
As long as we don't cut off our hearts, the inner workings of the universe illuminate before us.
Rivera Sun
Every run is a work of art, a drawing on each day's canvas. Some runs are shouts and some runs are whispers. Some runs are eulogies and others celebrations. When you're angry, a run can be a sharp slap in the face. When happy, a run is your song. And when your running progresses enough to become the chrysalis through which your life is viewed, motivation is almost beside the point. Rather, it's running that motivates you for everything else the day holds.
Dagny Scott Barrios
Money and corruption are ruining the land, crooked politicians betray the working man, pocketing the profits and treating us like sheep, and we're tired of hearing promises that we know they'll never keep.
Ray Davies
The picture placed the busts between Adds to the thought much strength; Wisdom and Wit are little seen, But Folly's at full length.
Jane Brereton
Stop living the life others want you to live...They have their own life anyway.
Lolalola
We ask ourselves, who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, handsome, talented and fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be?
Nelson Mandela
In life, it is not what you know or who you know that counts -- it is both!
Anthony J. D'Angelo
Many causes produce war. There are ancient hatreds, turbulent frontiers, the legacy of old forgotten, far-off things, and battles long ago. There are new-born fanaticisms. Convictions on the part of certain peoples that they have become the unique depositories of ultimate truth and right.
Franklin D. Roosevelt
When you can measure what you are speaking about, and express it in numbers, you know something about it, when you cannot express it in numbers, your knowledge is of a meager and unsatisfactory kind; it may be the beginning of knowledge, but you have scarely, in your thoughts advanced to the stage of science.
William Thomson
Even as your body betrays you, your mind denies it.
Sara Gruen
Miracles don't happen. You make them happen. They're not wishes or dreams or candles on a cake. They're not impossible. Reality is real. It's totally and completely under my control.
Julie Anne Peters
We shall take a star out of the skies and shall set thousands of worlds on fire...
Cordwainer Smith
She understands suddenly that the stuff that fills her up is not the love or attention she might get from other people; it is the love she herself has for other people. We are, Portia decides, the people we love
Jessica Anya Blau
Language is the soul of intellect, and reading is the essential process by which that intellect is cultivated beyond the commonplace experiences of everyday life.
Charles Scribner, Jr.
Tribal life comes automatically to an end when a primitive people begins to live in a town or a city, for sooner or later a tribal organization is found to be incompatible with life in a city.
Arthur Keith
They lived like monkeys still, while their new god powers lay around them in the weeds.
Kim Stanley Robinson
I would not have imagined that love himself would have such a fatal blow this.
Valentinno
The most telling and profound way of describing the evolution of the universe would undoubtedly be to trace the evolution of love.
Pierre Teilhard de Chardin
We love the ability of the people to influence the actions of decision-makers, of lawmakers and presidents to be removed from or elevated to office by the will of voters, and of the community to connect amongst diverse populations through the ballot box.
Charles Rangel
Listen to the people who love you. Believe that they are worth living for even when you don't believe it. Seek out the memories depression takes away and project them into the future. Be brave; be strong; take your pills. Exercise because it's good for you even if every step weighs a thousand pounds. Eat when food itself disgusts you. Reason with yourself when you have lost your reason.
Andrew Solomon
The strongest arguments prove nothing so long as the conclusions are not verified by experience. Experimental science is the queen of sciences and the goal of all speculation.
Roger Bacon
Justice is peculiarly indispensable to nations. The unjust State is doomed of God to calamity and ruin. This is the teaching of the Eternal Wisdom and of history
Albert Pike
The beauty of a living thing is not the atoms that go into it, but the way those atoms are put together.
Carl Sagan
Peace will come when the Arabs will love their children more than they hate us.
Golda Meir
Men love women because they are the loveliest things on God's earth. Women love men because chocolate can't mow the lawn. Some men prefer to love other men. Equally, some women prefer to love other women. There is a word to describe this kind of behaviour. Love.
Guy Browning
We sometimes choose the most locked up, dark versions of the story, but what a good friend does is turn on the lights, open the window, and remind us that there are a whole lot of ways to tell the same story.
Shauna Niequist
The expectation of substantive unity between natural science and social science has faded.... Gone is the cosmic intention of placing man in the universe.
