There are always a few who stand up in times of communal madness and have the courage to say that what unites us is greater than what divides us.

We are more often frightened than hurt and we suffer more from imagination than from reality.

Lucius Annaeus Seneca

Sometimes I think I spent forever waiting for you,' he says. 'My whole life, I've never had someone like you. Someone who doesn't have to be there, but is anyway. Someone who wants to just ... be with me because they want me. For me. Not because I'm your brother or your kid or anything, but because you choose me.

Amanda Grace

Forgiveness is a funny thing. It warms the heart and cools the sting.

William Arthur Ward

If you would not be forgotten as soon as you are dead, either write something worth reading or do things worth writing.

Benjamin Franklin

When we assumed the Soldier, we did not lay aside the Citizen.

George Washington

If there has been any crime, it must be prosecuted. If there has been any property of the United States illegally transferred or leased, it must be recovered. I propose to employ special counsel of high rank drawn from both political parties to bring such actions for the enforcement of the law. Counsel will be instructed to prosecute these cases in the courts so that if there is any guilt it will be punished; if there is any civil liability it will be enforced; if there is any fraud it will be revealed; and if there are any contracts which are illegal they will be canceled. Every law will be enforced. And every right of the people and the Government will be protected.

Calvin Coolidge

I'm not really that private of a person. I live in a small town and I'm very neighborly. I go out to dinner just about four nights a week and sit and talk to people. I'm not that private, so it's not that strange to do an interview and try to share a little bit of your life.

John Corbett

It is in vain to dream of a wildness distant from ourselves.

Henry David Thoreau

There ain't no rules around here, we're trying to accomplish something.

Thomas Alva Edison

They come together like the Coroner's Inquest, to sit upon the murdered reputations of the week.

William Congreve

I grew up with all boys in my family, where there was no place for girlie stuff. But it's amazing to walk into my house now. Everything is pink!

Jerry O'Connell

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
