I came here as a practical man, to talk, not simply on the question of peace and war, but to treat another question which is of hardly less importance - the enormous and burdensome standing armaments which it is the practice of modern Governments to sustain in time of peace.

Such prosperity as we have known up to the present is the consequence of rapidly spending the planet's irreplaceable capital.

Aldous Huxley

What has happened to the good old-fashioned travel agent? I want to go to a really posh travel agent and have them organise everything for me. I don't want to do things on the Internet.

Jenny Eclair

Brave men are all vertebrates; they have their softness on the surface and their toughness in the middle.

G. K. Chesterton

Let us live while we live.

Philip Doddridge

We fear things in proportion to our ignorance of them.

Livy

No jealousy their dawn of love overcast, nor blasted were their wedded days with strife each season looked delightful as it past, to the fond husband and the faithful wife.

James Beattie

As machines become more and more efficient and perfect, so it will become clear that imperfection is the greatness of man.

Ernst Fischer

Thou shalt not commit adultry is a command which makes no distinction between the following persons. They are all required to obey it: children at birth. Children in the cradle. School children. Youths and maidens. Fresh adults. Older ones. Men and women of 40. Of 50. Of 60. Of 70. Of 80. Of 100. The command does not distribute its burden equally, and cannot. It is not hard upon the three sets of children.

Mark Twain

Motherhood has a very humanizing effect. Everything gets reduced to essentials.

Meryl Streep

We are such stuff as dreams are made on, and our little life, is rounded with a sleep. The Tempest

William Shakespeare

Judged by every standard which history has applied to Governments, the Soviet Government of Russia is one of the worst tyrannies that has ever existed in the world. It accords no political rights. It rules by terror. It punishes political opinions. It suppresses free speech. It tolerates no newspapers but its own. It persecutes Christianity with a zeal and a cunning never equalled since the times of the Roman Emperors. It is engaged at this moment in trampling down the peoples of Georgia and executing their leaders by hundreds.

Sir Winston Churchill

I prefer Princess. I would love to be known as a diva later on in life when I've had far more experiences.
