You cannot believe in honor until you have achieved it, better keep yourself clean and bright; you are the window through which you must see the world

There is risk and truth to yourselves and the world before you.

Seamus Heaney

Silence is the most perfect expression of scorn.

George Bernard Shaw

War scenes are less difficult than love scenes.

Jean-Jacques Annaud

Don't be confused that my interest in religion, faith, and spirituality is driven by any sense of faith or spirituality of my own.

Peter Jennings

To the world you might be one person, but to one person you might be the world.

Anon.

Lycurgus, Numa, Moses, Jesus Christ, Mohammed, all these great rogues, all these great thought-tyrants, knew how to associate the divinities they fabricated with their own boundless ambition.

Marquis de Sade

Fortune cannot be flattered by such fetish worship. But she can be wooed and won by hard work.

Lord Beaverbrook

Suddenly is the soul oned to God when it is truly peaced in itself: for in Him is found no wrath. And thus I saw when we are all in peace and in love, we find no contrariness, nor no manner of letting through that contrariness which is now in us.

Julian of Norwich

You have to be tough.

Mike Ditka

I am so convinced of the advantages of looking at mankind instead of reading about them, and of the bitter effects of staying at home with all the narrow prejudices of an Islander, that I think there should be a law amongst us to set our young men abroad for a term among the few allies our wars have left us.

Lord (George Gordon) Byron

He showed, in a few words, that it is not sufficient to throw together a few incidents that are to be met with in every romance, and that to dazzle the spectator the thought should be new, without being farfetched; frequently sublime, but always natural; the author should have a thorough knowledge of the human heart and make it speak properly; he should be a complete poet, without showing an affectation of it in any of the characters of his piece; he should be a perfect master of his language, speak it with all its pruity and with the utmost harmony, and yet so as not to make the sense a slave to the rhyme. Whoever, added he, neglects any one of these rules, though he may write two or three tragedies with tolerable success, will never be reckoned in the number of good authors.

Voltaire

If you would have a faithful servant, and one that you like, serve yourself.

Benjamin Franklin
