Most anthologists of quotations are like those who eat cherries or oysters; first picking the best ones and winding up by eating everything.

The reason why men enter into society is the preservation of their property.

John Locke

Here's my advice to you: don't marry until you can tell yourself that you've done all you could, and until you've stopped loving the women you've chosen, until you see her clearly, otherwise you'll be cruelly and irremediably mistaken. Marry when you're old and good for nothing...Otherwise all that's good and lofty in you will be lost.

Leo Tolstoy

Sour, sweet, bitter, pungent, all must be tasted.

Chinese Proverb

My guiding principles in life are to be honest, genuine, thoughtful and caring.

Prince William

Intelligence: I was asked tonight why I refuse to have truck with intellectuals after business hours. But of course I won t. 1. I am not an intellectual. Two minutes talk with Aldous Huxley, William Glock, or any of the New Statesman crowd would expose me utterly. 2. I am too tired after my day's work to man the intellectual palisade. 3. When my work is finished I want to eat, drink, smoke, and relax. 4. I don't know very much, but what I do know I know better than anybody, and I don't want to argue about it. I know what I think about an actor or an actress, and am not interested in what anybody else thinks. My mind is not a bed to be made and re-made.

James Agate

When you enter the House of God, you leave your ego at the door and embrace purity as if your life depended on it.

Sufian Chaudhary

God's finger touched him, and he slept.

Alfred Tennyson

The Bible is a book of Science. Secular Humanism is a religion of mythology.

Michael J. Findley

Every therapeutic cure, and still more, any awkward attempt to show the patient the truth, tears him from the cradle of his freedom from responsibility and must therefore reckon with the most vehement resistance.

Alfred Adler

I remember when I was growing up, I always wore glasses and so if I was on-stage or just being able to move around playing sports, I was never really able to because I had glasses holding me back. Wearing contacts has just been very helpful.

Joe Jonas

People are so busy dreaming the American Dream, fantasizing about what they could be or have a right to be, that they're all asleep at the switch. Consequently we are living in the Age of Human Error.

Florence King

I never make the mistake of arguing with people for whose opinions I have no respect.

Edward Gibbon
