It is not the beauty of a building you should look at its the construction of the foundation that will stand the test of time.

Youth is a blunder, manhood is a struggle and old age a regret.

Benjamin Disraeli

Here it is that the Spirit teaches us all truth; for all truth is eminently contained in this sacrifice of love, where the soul strips itself of every thing to present it to God.

Francois Fenelon

In my experience, if you have to keep the lavatory door shut by extending your left leg, it's modern architecture.

The great men among the ancients understood very well how to reconcile manual labour with affairs of state, and thought it no lessening to their dignity to make the one the recreation to the other. That indeed which seems most generally to have employed and diverted their spare hours, was agriculture. Gideon among the Jews was taken from threshing, as well as Cincinnatus amongst the Romans from the plough, to command the armies of their countries...and, as I remember, Cyrus thought gardening so little beneath the dignity and grandeur of a throne, that he showed Xenophon a large field of fruit trees all of his own planting . . . Delving, planting, inoculating, or any the like profitable employments would be no less a diversion than any of the idle sports in fashion, if men could be brought to delight in them.

John Locke, Two Treatises of Gov

I have a lot of respect for marriage.

Friedrich Nietzsche

She belongs to a race of delightful women, who never do any harm, whom everybody calls good, and who are very severe on those who do not pretend to be good.

Gilbert Parker

La lectura es un sintoma de los incredulos. Cuando dudas investigas y si investigas descubres lo inimaginable. A mucha gente le la miedo leer porque no esta de moda.

Antonio Guadarrama

I doubt anyone will ever see -- anywhere -- a memorial to a pessimist.

The pessimist sees difficulty in every opportunity. The optimist sees the opportunity in every difficulty.

Sir Winston Churchill

I believe that being successful means having a balance of success stories across the many areas of your life. You can't truly be considered successful in your business life if your home life is in shambles.

Zig Ziglar

The Left is doing to America what it has done to almost everything it has deeply influenced - the arts, the university, religion, culture, minorities, Europe: ruining it.
