argues that true love will triumph in the end, which may or may not be true, but if it's a lie, it's the most beautiful lie we have.

It isn't what they say about you, it's what they whisper.

Errol Flynn

It was necessary that millions of men in whose hands lay the real power -- the soldiers who fired, or transported provisions and guns -- should consent to carry out the will of these weak individuals...

Leo Tolstoy

Has anybody ever seen a dramatic critic in the daytime? Of course not. They come out after dark, up to no good.

P. G. [Sir Pelham Grenville] Wod

Even knowledge has to be in the fashion, and where it is not, it is wise to affect ignorance.

Baltasar Gracian, The Art of Wor

Obama has no power to change American policy because there are people who specialize in drawing these policies, which have been and still are hostile towards Islam.

Muqtada al Sadr

I want someone to laugh with me, someone to be grave with me, someone to please me and help my discrimination with his or her own remark, and at times, no doubt, to admire my acuteness and penetration.

Robert Burns

Silence is the element in which great things fashion themselves together; that at length they may emerge, full-formed and majestic, into the daylight of Life, which they are thenceforth to rule. Not William the Silent only, but all the considerable men I have known, and the most undiplomatic and unstrategic of these, forbore to babble of what they were creating and projecting. Nay, in thy own mean perplexities, do thou thyself but hold thy tongue for one day: on the morrow, how much clearer are thy purposes and duties; what wreck and rubbish have those mute workmen within thee swept away, when intrusive noises were shut out! Speech is too often not, as the Frenchman defined it, the art of concealing Thought; but of quite stifling and suspending Thought, so that there is none to conceal. Speech too is great, but not the greatest. As the Swiss Inscription says: Sprecfien ist silbern, Schweigen ist golden (Speech is silvern, Silence is golden); or as I might rather express it: Speech is of Time, Silence is of Eternity.

Thomas Carlyle

Simon Newcomb

I would like to host a show, something like travel or cooking or something like that, something I'm really interested in, and so I'm pitching a couple television shows.

Trishelle Cannatella

Nothing can be beautiful which is not true.

John Ruskin

“If we find ourselves with a desire that nothing in this world can satisfy, the most probable explanation is…we were made for another world.”

C. S. Lewis

Heaven knows that I have done all that a mortal could do, to save the people, and the failure was not my fault, but the fault of others.

Davy Crockett
