I have become rather like King Midas, except that everything turns not into gold but into a circus.

When things go wrong, you'll find they usually go on getting worse for some time; but when things once start going right they often go on getting better and better.

C.S. Lewis

Famous crime stories almost always lead to the passing of new laws.

Bill James

Be open to the realization that who you were before and who you are now are two different people, and that what may have made you happy then, may not be the same thing that will make you happy now.

Stephen Richards

The more opinions you have, the less you see.

Wim Wenders

[...] endless action and reaction. Those beautifully rounded pebbles which you gather on the sand and which you hold in your hand and marvel at their exceeding smoothness, were chiseled into their varies and graceful forms by the ceaseless action of countless waves. Nature is herself a great worker and never tolerates, without certain rebuke, any contradiction to her wise example. Inaction is followed by stagnation. Stagnation is followed by pestilence and pestilence is followed by death.

Frederick Douglass

Happiness, to some, elation Is, to others, mere stagnation.

Amy Lowell

Although born in a prosperous realm, we did not believe that its boundaries should limit our knowledge, and that the lore of the East should alone enlighten us.

Charles de Secondat

Always be nice to your children because they are the ones who will choose your rest home.

Phyllis Diller

The facts are plain: Religious leaders who preside over marriage ceremonies must and will be guided by what they believe. If they do not wish to celebrate marriages for same-sex couples, that is their right. The Supreme Court says so. And the Charter says so.

Paul Martin

Nobody likes to see a stupid guy wise up.

Stephen King

When in doubt tell the truth.

Mark Twain

Do not pray for easy lives. Pray to be stronger men.

John F. Kennedy
