You can tell more about a person by what he says about others than you can by what others say about him.

Most people have no imagination. If they could imagine the sufferings of others, they would not make them suffer so. What separated a German mother from a French mother?

Ernst Toller

So, dear friend, put fear out of your heart. This nation will survive, this state will prosper, the orderly business of life will go forward if only men can speak in whatever way given them to utter what their hearts holdby voice, by posted card, by letter or by press. Reason never has failed men. Only force and repression have made the wrecks in the world.

William Allen White

My girlfriend does her nails with whiteout. When she's asleep,I go over there and write misspelled words on them.

Steven Wright

When you're born you get a ticket to the freak show. When you're born in America, you get a front row seat.

George Carlin

What are the convulsions of a city in comparison with the insurrections of the soul? Man is a depth still greater than the people. Jean Valjean at that very moment was the prey of a terrible upheaval. Every sort of gulf had opened again within him. He also was trembling, like Paris, on the brink of an obscure and formidable revolution. A few hours had sufficed to bring this about. His destiny and his conscience had suddenly been covered with gloom. Of him also, as well as of Paris, it might have been said: Two principles are face to face. The white angel and the black angel are about to seize each other on the bridge of the abyss. Which of the two will hurl the other over? Who will carry the day?

Victor Hugo, Les Miserables (Vol

God has put somrthing noble and good into every heart His hand created.

Mark Twain

I find forgiveness to be really healthy.

Ben Affleck

All the people you meet here have one thing to teach you. Eddie was skeptical. His fists stayed clenched. What? he said. That there are no random acts. That we are all connected. That you can no more separate one life from another than you can separate a breeze from the wind.

Mitch Albom

Not necessity, not desire --no, the love of power is the demon of men. Let them have everything --health, food, a place to live, entertainment --they are and remain unhappy and low-spirited: for the demon waits and waits and will be satisfied.

Friedrich Nietzsche

Nobody can bring you peace but yourself.

Ralph Waldo Emerson

People think dreams aren't real just because they aren't made of matter, of particles. Dreams are real. But they are made of viewpoints, of images, of memories and puns and lost hopes.

Neil Gaiman

Meadows trim, with daisies pied, Shallow brooks, and rivers wide; Towers and balements it sees Bosomed high in tufted trees, Where perhaps some beauty lies, The cynosure of neighboring eyes.

John Milton
