The woods are lovely, dark and deep. But I have promises to keep, and miles to go before I sleep.
Every reform, however necessary, will by weak minds be carried to an excess, which will itself need reforming.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
A religion, that is, a true religion, must consist of ideas and facts both; not of ideas alone without facts, for then it would be mere Philosophy; -- nor of facts alone without ideas, of which those facts are symbols, or out of which they arise, or upon which they are grounded: for then it would be mere History.
P.S. I enjoy acid pops.
J.K. Rowling
Rights! There are no rights whatever without corresponding duties. Look at the history of the growth of our constitution, and you will see that our ancestors never upon any occasion stated, as a ground for claiming any of their privileges, an abstract right inherent in themselves; you will nowhere in our parliamentary records find the miserable sophism of the Rights of Man.
While day by day the overzealous student stores up facts for future use, he who has learned to trust nature finds need for ever fewer external directions. He will discard formula after formula, until he reaches the conclusion: Let nature take its course.
Larry Bird
How then did it work out, all this? How did one judge people, think of them? How did one add up this and that and conclude that it is liking one felt, or disliking?
Virginia Woolf
Oh Sleep! it is a gentle thing, beloved from pole to pole, to Mary Queen the praise be given! She sent the gentle sleep from Heaven, that slid into my soul.
Wild animals never kill for sport. Man is the only one to whom the torture and death of his fellow creatures is amusing in itself.
James Anthony Froude
Swans sing before they die -- t'were no bad thing did certain persons die before they sing.
The Truth Shall Make Ye Fret. [Fred. Free.]
Terry Pratchett
As far as Iraq, the important thing is that the Taliban is gone in Afghanistan, three-quarters of the al-Qaida leadership is either dead or in jail, and we now have Saudi Arabia working with us, Pakistan working with us.
Peter King
Similarly with regard to truth, won't we say that a soul is maimed if it hates a voluntary falsehood, cannot endure to have one in itself, and is greatly angered when it exists in others, but is nonetheless content to accept an involuntary falsehood, isn't angry when it is caught being ignorant, and bears its lack of learning easily, wallowing in it like a pig?
Plato
If it is nothingness that awaits us, let us make an injustice of it let us fight against destiny, even though without hope of victory.
Miguel de Unamuno
Sympathy constitutes friendship but in love there is a sort of antipathy, or opposing passion. Each strives to be the other, and both together make up one whole.
I am an activist. I have a really big pulpit with my fiction and I love knowing that I can make people think.
Jodi Picoult
I would love to have a robot at home.
Hugh Jackman
Why do only boys get to chase? Nuh-uh! If anything, I think this whole sitting back and waiting thing can be self-sabotaging. We have to send up flares. We have to let guys know we're open for business.
Ginnifer Goodwin
Religion is organized to satisfy and guide the soul -- politics does the same thing for the body.
Joyce Cary
She was sensible and clever, but eager in everything; her sorrows, her joys, could have no moderation.
Jane Austen
For good and evil, man is a free creative spirit. This produces the very queer world we live in, a world in continuous creation and therefore continuous change and insecurity.
I always feel like the art's there and I just see it, so it's not really a lot of work.
Damien Hirst
In the End, we will remember not the words of our enemies, but the silence of our friends.
Martin Luther King Jr.
I look upon life as a gift from God. I did nothing to earn it. Now that the time is coming to give it back, I have no right to complain.
I do think we know that a teacher who knows what he or she is doing, knows their subject matter, and knows how to impart knowledge to kids is a critical piece of closing the achievement gap.
Margaret Spellings
I cannot divine how it happens that the man who knows the least is the most argumentative.
Giovani della Casa
If a guy is skilled at anything, that's attractive. There's something very primal about that and, sure, it can be as simple as figuring out the tip quickly. It's really cool when a guy tips 20 percent quickly and effortlessly so that when the check comes, he opens it and signs his name and done.
Danica McKellar
The difference between e-mail and regular mail is that computers handle e-mail, and computers never decide to come to work one day and shoot all the other computers.
Jamais Cascio
The highest destiny of the individual is to serve rather than to rule.
Albert Einstein
The symbolic language of the crucifixion is the death of the old paradigm resurrection is a leap into a whole new way of thinking.
Deepak Chopra
No pressure, no diamonds.
Mary Case
My parents did not have a perfect marriage. It was pretty good, but it was not perfect. My marriage is not perfect. My wife is, but I happen to be imperfect. However, that does not discount the fact that the definition of marriage must be defended and protected.
Stockwell Day
The severest justice may not always be the best policy
Abraham Lincoln
Pain is inevitable, suffering is optional.
M Kathleen Casey
Scotland is my country, the nation that shaped me, that taught me my values. A nation whose achievements inspired and inspire me, a community whose failings drive me - drive my overwhelming desire to fight for social justice and equality.
Johann Lamont
I pass the test that says a man who isn't a socialist at 20 has no heart, and a man who is a socialist at 40 has no head.
William Casey
Experience is not what happens to a man it is what a man does with what happens to him.
Aldous Huxley
I think it's very clear that the American people are frustrated with this move toward socialism. And so whether you're back or white, if you believe that the conservative construct is in the best interest of our future, than you too would be voting with Republicans, and if you had the opportunity to run you'd join us as well.
Tim Scott
Middle age is when a guy keeps turning off lights for economical rather than romantic reasons.
Eli Cass
I'm in politics. I'm in government, so nothing surprises me.
Andrew Cuomo
The cross is the invincible sanctuary of the humble.
