If you wish to be loved, show more of your faults than your virtues.

Edward G. Bulwer-Lytton

If help and salvation are to come, they can only come from the children, for the children are the makers of men.

Maria Montessori

It's amazing that the amount of news that happens in the world every day always just exactly fits the newspaper.

Jerry Seinfeld

The guillotine is the ultimate expression of Law, and its name is vengeance; it is not neutral, nor does it allow us to remain neutral. All social questions achieve their finality around that blade. The scaffold is an image. It is not merely a framework, a machine, a lifeless mechanism of wood, iron, and rope. It is as though it were a being having its own dark purpose, as though the framework saw, the machine listened, and the mechanism understood; as though that arrangement of wood and iron and rope expressed a will. In the hideous picture which its presence evokes it seems to be most terribly a part of what it does. It is the executioner's accomplice; it consumes, devouring flesh and drinking blood. It is a kind of monster created by the judge and the craftsman; a spectre seeming to live an awful life born of the death it deals.

Victor Hugo

By the Quiet Moment, if you want to be woken by emptiness, Just open your mind, and your heart will meet something... it always has something there.

Suka

Look, the, the - this country has not lived within its means for a very long time, and, and the truth is we're going to have to take our medicine.

Alexi Giannoulias

He who does not bellow the truth when he knows the truth makes himself the accomplice of liars and forgers.

Charles Peguy

The rule is, jam tomorrow and jam yesterday --but never jam today.

Lewis Carroll

You resent death. You regret death. But as for your own life, you know perfectly well that no one can threaten it at all. Death is something that happens to someone else.

Orson Scott Card

Power tends to corrupt, and absolute power corrupts absolutely.

John Acton

In Hollywood, if you don't have happiness, you send out for it.
