Our birth is nothing but our death begun.

Govern a family as you would cook a small fish -- very gently.

Chinese Proverb

Heaven be thanked, we live in such an age when no man dies for love except upon the stage.

John Osborne

By three methods we may learn wisdom: First, by reflection, which is noblest; Second, by imitation, which is easiest; and third by experience, which is the bitterest.

Confucius

In our glorious fight for civil rights, we must guard against being fooled by false slogans, such as 'right-to-work.' It provides no 'rights' and no 'works.' Its purpose is to destroy labor unions and the freedom of collective bargaining. We demand this fraud be stopped.

Martin Luther King Jr.

Things do not happen. Things are made to happen.

John F. Kennedy

A man's action is only a picture book of his creed.

Ralph Waldo Emerson

Joy rul'd the day, and Love the night.

John Dryden

The painter who is familiar with the nature of the sinews, muscles, and tendons, will know very well, in giving movement to a limb, how many and which sinews cause it; and which muscle, by swelling, causes the contraction of that sinew; and which sinews, expanded into the thinnest cartilage, surround and support the said muscle.

Leonardo da Vinci

There are many different stories to tell. It's never the same. Every day weather blows in and out, alters the surface. Sometimes it is stripped down to a single essential truth, the thing that is always believed, no matter what. The seeds from which the garden has grown.

Helen Humphreys

The source of all the material comes from nothingness, illusion is working more on things you can prove. That's the principle, the essence of life, it is actually an illusion, not immaterial. That's worth pursuing. So illusion is not nothing. In a way, that is the truth.

Ang Lee

We must seek the loving-kindness of God in all the breadth and open-air of common life.

George A. Smith

Every blessing ignored becomes a curse.

Paulo Coelho
