The cottage garden most for use designed, Yet not of beauty destitute.

There is no Gain in the world: so be it: but neither is there any Loss. There is never any failure to this infinite freshness of life, and the ancient novelty is forever renewed. We realize the world better if we imagine it, not as a Progress to Prim Perf

Ralph Waldo Emerson

The history of free men is never really written by chance but by choice their choice!

Dwight D. Eisenhower

As a kid, I grew to define what I didn't want my life to be like by sitting behind moaning women on the bus, hearing them bang on about their aches and pains, both real and imagined.

Julie Burchill

Would it hurt to die?

J.K. Rowling

When you reach a calm and quiet meditative state, that is when you can hear the sound of silence.

Stephen Richards

Through loyalty to the past, our mind refuses to realize that tomorrow's joy is possible only if today's makes way for it that each wave owes the beauty of its line only to the withdrawal of the preceding one.

André Gide

As a result of the digital age and the decline of first-class mail, there is no question that the Postal Service must change and develop a new business model.

But what he didn't understand was that this dreamland was preferable,walking through this life half-sleeping,everything at arm's length or farther away. I understood those mermaids.I didn't care if they sang to me.All I wanted was to block out all the human voices as they called me name again and again,pulling me upward into light,to drown.

Sarah Dessen

Little children, you are from God, and have conquered them; for the one who is in you is greater than the one who is in this world.

Jesus Christ

Each mind is pressed, and open every ear, to hear new tidings, though they no way joy us.

Edward Fairfax

The tragedy of all this is that George McGovern, for all his mistakes and his imprecise talk about new politics and honesty in government, is one of the few men who've run for President of the United States in this century who really understands what a fantastic monument to all the best instincts of the human race this country might have been, if we could have kept it out of the hands of greedy little hustlers like Richard Nixon.McGovern made some stupid mistakes, but in context they seem almost frivolous compared to the things Richard Nixon does every day of his life, on purpose, as a matter of policy and a perfect expression of everything he stands for.Jesus! Where will it end? How low do you have to stoop in this country to be President?

Hunter S. Thompson, from Fear an
