You can always tell a Harvard man, but you can't tell him much.

The person lives twice who lives the first life well.

Robert Herrick

I'm passing through the world invisibly. Even when people see or speak to me it's as if I didn't exist, as if I had no right to exist. I tread across their lands and they don't see me. I act and act and act and nothing makes any difference in the world. But they touch me.

Orson Scott Card

Half the pictures directed by men of reputation fail.

Carroll O'Connor

Our life depends on the kind of thoughts we nurture. If our thoughts are peaceful, calm, meek, and kind, then that is what our life is like. If our attention is turned to the circumstances in which we live, we are drawn into a whirlpool of thoughts and can have neither peace nor tranquility.

Elder Thaddeus of Vitovnica

Life is a constant adaptation.

Carlos Gershenson

Oh, I'm not going to do anything to them. The thought that I might will be enough to keep them going.

Chris Bowkett

Mothers - especially single mothers - are heroic in their efforts to raise our nation's children, but men must also take responsibility for their children and recognize the impact they have on their families' well-being.

Evan Bayh

The time of life is short; to spend that shortness basely were too long

William Shakespeare

The only history is a mere question of one's struggle inside oneself. But that is the joy of it. One need neither discover Americas nor conquer nations, and yet one has as great a work as Columbus or Alexander, to do.

David Herbert Lawrence

Dear, never forget one little point. It's my business. You just work here.

Elizabeth Arden

The essence of the independent mind lies not in what it thinks, but in how it thinks.

Christopher Hitchens

I think we're all a little afraid of the dark. If you lived in the country, as I did, there's nothing quite like country dark, which was really black. And as a child, your imagination runs wild.

Malcolm McDowell
