All I can hope to do is instill great morality in my son and trust him along the way. The music he listens to or how he chooses to wear his hair doesn't define his moral compass, and if he wants to listen to country music and wear a cowboy hat too, that's fine.

It was a very proper wedding. The bride was elegantly dressed---the two bridemaids were duly inferior---her father gave her away---her mother stood with salts in her hand expecting to be agitated---her aunt tried to cry--- and the service was impressively read by Dr. Grant.

Jane Austen

The longer I do my job ... the more I realize that humans lack good mirrors. It's so hard for anyone to show us how we look, and so hard for us to show anyone how we feel.

John Green

Your labor only may be sold, your soul must not.

John Ruskin

When you do what's important now for you, you create a past that leaves you ready to handle the present. By default, the future is taking care of itself as you make decisions that are acceptable to you no matter what happens tomorrow.

John Kuypers

The human bird shall take his first flight, filling the world with amazement, all writings with his fame, and bringing eternal glory to the nest whence he sprang.

Leonardo da Vinci

The bittersweet about truth is that nothing could be more hurtful, yet nothing could be more helpful.

Mike Norton

David Suzuki

I am a night painter, so when I come into the studio the next morning the delirium is over.

Philip Guston

It is not a fragrant world.

Raymond Chandler

You are only as big as the dreams you dare to live.

Jessica Watson

I felt so painfully isolated that I vowed I would get revenge on the world by becoming a famous cartoonist.

Robert Crumb

Your opinion is not my reality.
