Beauty is the bait which with delight allures man to enlarge his kind.

The past is the only dead thing that smells sweet.

Edward Thomas

Many a man's strength is in opposition, and when he faileth, he grows out of use.

Francis Bacon

Art does not reproduce what we see rather, it makes us see.

Paul Klee

I've always had great faith in the Man Upstairs.

Wayne Newton

My experience has been that work is almost the best way to pull oneself out of the depths.

Eleanor Roosevelt

The two of you, there's something uncanny about the way you two are with each other. I mean everything--the way you look at each other, the way she relaxes when you put your hand on her back, the way you both seem to know what the other is always thinking, it's always struck me as extraordinary. That's another reason I keep putting marriage off. I know I want something like what you two share, and I'm not sure I've found it yet. I'm not sure I ever will. And with love like that, they say anything's possible, right?

Nicholas Sparks

I have found that if you love life, life will love you back.

Arthur Rubinstein

I'm not a royal family watcher.

Bill Nighy

There are three principal means of acquiring knowledge available to us: observation of nature, reflection, and experimentation. Observation collects facts; reflection combines them; experimentation verifies the result of that combination. Our observation of nature must be diligent, our reflection profound, and our experiments exact. We rarely see these three means combined; and for this reason, creative geniuses are not common.

Denis Diderot

Excellence is doing ordinary things extraordinarily well.

John W. Gardner

We love ourselves notwithstanding our faults, and we ought to love our friends in like manner.

Cyrus the Great

When you determined what you want, you have made the most important decision of your life. You have to know what you want in order to attain it.
