Those who can make you believe absurdities, can make you commit atrocities.

For we must consider that we shall be a city upon a hill. The eyes of all people are upon us, so that if we shall deal falsely with our God in this work we have undertaken, and so cause Him to withdraw His present help from us, we shall be made a story and a byword through the world.

John Winthrop

People like to say that the conflict is between good and evil. The real conflict is between truth and lies.

Don Miguel Ruiz

Though the most beautiful creature were waiting for me at the end of a journey or a walk; though the carpet were of silk, the curtains of the morning clouds; the chairs and sofa stuffed with cygnet's down; the food manna, the wine beyond claret, the window opening on Winander Mere, I should not feel --or rather my happiness would not be so fine, as my solitude is sublime.

John Keats

I think the first and principle objective is to repeal Obamacare before it does lasting, fundamental damage to our health care system, to our individual liberty, to the relationship each of us has with his or her doctor.

Ted Cruz

Where there is joy there is creation. Where there is no joy there is no creation: know the nature of joy.

Veda Upanishads

There is strong shadow where there is much light.

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

Man consists of two parts, his mind and his body, only the body has more fun.

Woody Allen

I want the big drama. I always said I don't want a wedding I want a parade.

Star Jones

The greatest gift of life is friendship, and I have received it.

Hubert H. Humphrey

I was thinking how complicated life is and how there are no simple roads or paths. We are a fabric of mistakes and hurts; a family tree of fumbled attempts, successes and failures.

Belinda Jeffrey

O, how wonderful is the human voice! It is indeed the organ of the soul! The intellect of man sits enthroned visibly upon his forehead and in his eye; and the heart of man is written upon his countenance. But the soul reveals itself in the voice only; as God revealed himself to the prophet of old in the still, small voice; and in a voice from the burning bush. The soul of man is audible, not visible. A sound alone betrays the flowing of the eternal fountain, invisible to man!

Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, Hype

One day of happiness is worth more than a lifetime of sorrow .... Under ordinary circumstances, jealousy is a suspicion to the person who excites it and degrading to the person who indulges it.

Victor Hugo
