The court is most merciful when the accused is most rich.

To many, total abstinence is easier than perfect moderation.

Saint Augustine of Hippo

Opinions are made to be changed --or how is truth to be got at?

Lord (George Gordon) Byron

I have a best friend as a husband, and he is my number one supporter. He's a family man, and he's always giving back to God. That is what makes him a beautiful man. We're not perfect by any means, but that makes us beautiful as well. We're not afraid to say we're not perfect. We have our disagreements, but that comes along with marriage.

Tamera Mowry

Jesus didn't just give hugs; He also gave a hammer. Paul didn't just pass on holy kisses; he also tirelessly dealt out swift and holy kicks to the rear end of the ancient church. The Bible has the manly stuff intact, and that is why it is such a great mystery how it got lost in the modern church.

Eric Ludy

Then not only an old man, but also a drunkard, becomes a second time a child.

Plato

My top most priority is to deal with India's massive social and economic problems, so that chronic poverty, ignorance and disease can be conquered in a reasonably short period of time.

Manmohan Singh

Life was never quite the same for me after that winter walk to town. The charts that I brought home with me were potent and ensnaring and I feel it my duty to warn any others who may show signs of star susceptibility that they approach the observing of variable stars with the utmost caution. It is easy to become and addict and, as usual, the longer the indulgence is continued the more difficult it becomes to go back to a normal life.

Leslie C. Peltier

If you have ever prayed for something and received what you wanted, you engaged in Cosmic Ordering.

Stephen Richards

Of all vices, drinking is the most incompatible with greatness.

Sir Walter Scott

There's a lot of thought in art. People get to talk about important things. There's a lot of sex, you know, in art. There's a lot of naked women and men, and there's intrigue, there's fakery. It's a real microcosm of the larger world.

Steve Martin

If you really want to love humanity, then you have to love humanity as it is now.

Sri Chinmoy

Bad psychoanalysis would say I enjoyed pleasing people, working really hard and pleasing people, which is probably related to my father in some way. But I really liked working hard. When I worked at Disneyland, I'd do 12 hours straight and go home thrilled.
