We can't form our children on our own concepts; we must take them and love them as God gives them to us.

I had such a great mom and I know that I'd never be that mom. I wouldn't want to bring a child into this world unless I could be.

Lara Flynn Boyle

One writes of scars healed, a loose parallel to the pathology of the skin, but there is no such thing in the life of an individual. There are open wounds, shrunk sometimes to the size of a pin-prick but wounds still. The marks of suffering are more comparable to the loss of a finger, or the sight of an eye. We may not miss them, either, for one minute in a year, but if we should there is nothing to be done about it.

F. Scott Fitzgerald

Knowledge can be communicated, but not wisdom. One can find it, live it, be fortified by it, do wonders through it, but one cannot communicate and teach it.

Hermann Hesse

It's to paint directly on the canvas without any funny business, as it were, and I use almost pure turpentine to start with, adding oil as I go along until the medium becomes pure oil. I use as little oil as I can possibly help, and that's my method.

Edward Hopper

Happiness is a wine of the rarest vintage, and seems insipid to a vulgar taste.

Logan P. Smith

I'm very wary of trust, you see.

Kristin Scott Thomas

Perhaps no mightier conflict of mind occurs ever again in a lifetime than that first decision to unseat one's own tooth.

Gene Fowler

If you don't want to deal with the devil, don't go in his shop. Keep on the Lord's side of the fence.

The blazing brightnesse of her beauties beame, / And glorious light of her sunshyny face / To tell, were as to strive against the streame.

Edmund Spenser

No life ever grows great until it is focused, dedicated and disciplined.

Good is never accomplished except at the cost of those who do it, truth never breaks through except through the sacrifice of those who spread it.

John Henry Newman

Bachelors have consciences, married men have wives.

Samuel Johnson
