By concentrating on what is good in people, by appealing to their idealism and their sense of justice, and by asking them to put their faith in the future, socialists put themselves at a severe disadvantage.

Home, the spot of earth supremely blest, A dearer, sweeter spot than all the rest.

Robert Montgomery

Happiness is the harvest of a quiet eye.

Austin O'Malley

It is in the balancing of your spirituality with your humanity that you will find immeasurable happiness, success, good health, and love.

Steve Maraboli

It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a single man in possession of a good fortune must be in want of a wife.However little known the feelings or views of such a man may be on his first entering a neighbourhood, this truth is so well fixed in the minds of the surrounding families, that he is considered as the rightful property of some one or other of their daughters.

Jane Austen, opening lines to Pr

No time to see, in broad daylight,Streams full of stars, like skies at night.No time to turn at Beauty's glance,And watch her feet, how they can dance.No time to wait till her mouth canEnrich that smile her eyes began.

William Henry Davies

While we look not a that things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen; for the things which are seen are temporal; but the things which are not seen are eternal. 2 Corinthians 4:18

Bible

The simplest questions are the most profound. Where were you born?Where is your home?Where are you going?What are you doing?Think about these once in awhile, and watch your answers change.

Richard Bach, Illusions: The Adv

As told in Friendship with God, if we simply decided to believe and act as if first, we're all one, and second, life is eternal, it would render virtually everything we've done all our lives pointless.

Neale Donald Walsch

Frivolity is inborn, conceit acquired by education.

Marcus Tullius Cicero

My parents have a strong work ethic, but their attitude to life, their philosophy, is: 'whatever makes you happy.'

Sally Hawkins

The second song is called 'Easy As Life,' which really describes the complete conflict of the whole story, her struggle of being in love with the enemy and also being in love with her people.

Deborah Cox

The way to rock oneself back into writing is this. First gentle exercise in the air. Second the reading of good literature. It is a mistake to think that literature can be produced from the raw. One must get out of life...one must become externalised; very, very concentrated, all at one point, not having to draw upon the scattered parts of one's character, living in the brain.

Virginia Woolf
