There is a city myth that country life was isolated and lonely; the truth is that farmers and their families then had a richer social life than they have now. They enjoyed a society organic, satisfying and whole, not mixed and thinned with the life of town, city and nation as it now is.

Time has no divisions to mark its passage, there is never a thunder-storm or blare of trumpets to announce the beginning of a new month or year. Even when a new century begins it is only we mortals who ring bells and fire off pistols.

Thomas Mann

It is fatal to enter any war without the will to win it.

General Douglas MacArthur

No great wisdom can be reached without sacrifice.

C.S. Lewis

There is bound to be variation in the population of males in their predisposition to be faithful husbands. If females could recognize such qualities in advance, they could benefit themselves by choosing males possessing them. One way for a female to do this is to play hard to get for a long time, to be coy. Any male who is not patient enough to wait until the female eventually consents to copulate is not likely to be a good bet as a faithful husband.

Richard Dawkins

There will be days that I don't think we'll know how to survive. But we will, because we have each other.

Colleen Hoover

A woman doesn't just love a man. She loves who he is. And, who he is is dependent on what he needs.

James MacArthur

If you do things well, do them better. Be daring, be first, be different, be just.

Anita Roddick

Science gives us a powerful vocabulary, and it is impossible to produce a vocabulary with which one can only say nice things.

John Charles Polanyi

You call to a dog and a dog will break its neck to get to you. Dogs just want to please. Call to a cat and its attitude is, 'What's in it for me?'

Lewis Grizzard

To be worth making at all a journey has to be made in the mind as much as in the world of objects and dimensions. What value can there be in seeing or experiencing anything for the first time unless it comes as a revelation? And for that to happen, some previously held thought or belief must be confounded, or enhanced, or even transcended. What difference can it make otherwise to see a redwood tree, a tiger, or a humming bird?

Ted Simon, Jupiter

Compromise is the best and cheapest lawyer.

Robert Louis Stevenson

Art the end result of perception, wisdom, intelligence, discipline, hard work, passion, luck, accident, and coincidence.
