Beautiful isle of the sea, Smile on the brow of the waters.

One can only give an unbiased opinion about things that do not interest one, which is no doubt the reason an unbiased opinion is always valueless. The man who sees both sides of a question is a man who sees absolutely nothing.

Oscar Wilde

The Public is merely a multiplied me.

Mark Twain

When adults say, 'Teenagers think they are invincible' with that sly, stupid smile on their faces, they don't know how right they are. We need never be hopeless, because we can never be irreparably broken. We think that we are invincible because we are. We cannot be born, and we cannot die. Like all energy, we can only change shapes and sizes and manifestations. They forget that when they get old. They get scared of losing and failing. But that part of us greater than the sum of our parts cannot begin and cannot end, and so it cannot fail.

John Green

We are the ones looking out for the middle class. Who do think pays for the endless expansion of government? Its middle class taxpayers. Our reforms protect middle class taxpayers.

Scott Walker

Where grief is fresh, any attempt to divert it only irritates.

Samuel Johnson

Explaining a joke is like dissecting a frog: you understand it better, but the frog dies in the process.

Mark Twain

My parents had a great marriage. Interestingly, it made it harder for me in relationships because I knew what a good relationship looked like.

Candace Bushnell

Some people have greatness thrust upon them. Few have excellence thrust upon them. . . . They achieve it. They do not achieve it unwittingly by doing what comes naturally and they don't stumble into it in the course of amusing themselves. All excellence involves discipline and tenacity of purpose.

John W. Gardner

Know then thyself, presume not God to scan,The proper study of Mankind is Man.Placed on this isthmus of a middle state,A being darkly wise and rudely great.

Alexander Pope, An Essay on Man

Bondage is... subjection to external influences and internal negative thoughts and attitudes.

W. Clement Stone

This is the America that I love. This is a great people. We can do anything. We can achieve anything. We've got a government that has gotten in the way of the American people. We're going to change that in November.

Mitt Romney

I think success right now is not about how famous you are or how much you're getting paid, but it's more about if you're steadily working and you're happy with what you're doing.

Sarah Hyland
