Woody Allen

The only thing that could spoil a day was people.... People were always the limiters of happiness except for the very few that were as good as spring itself.

Ernest Hemingway

If we try to engineer outcomes, if we overturn tradition to make everyone the same, we ruin society. If we upset tradition to allow for an equal shot at the starting gate, everyone wins, except for the charlatans and would be dictators.

Ben Stein

Human life--that appeared to him the one thing worth investigating. Compared to it there was nothing else of any value. It was true that as one watched life in its curious crucible of pain and pleasure, one could not wear over one's face a mask of glass, nor keep the sulphurous fumes from troubling the brain and making the imagination turbid with monstrous fancies and misshapen dreams.

Oscar Wilde

There is nothing more unaesthetic than a policeman.

Sir Arthur Conan Doyle

We are told that when Jehovah created the world he saw that it was good what would he say now

George Bernard Shaw

Love ceases to be a pleasure, when it ceases to be a secret.

Aphra Behn

Embrace love and compassion with all your spirit. Understand that they never hurt or offend, they just heal and empower.

Steve Maraboli

The American ideal is youth --handsome, empty youth.

Henry Miller

There are people who think that honesty is always the best policy. This is a superstition; there are times when the appearance of it is worth six of it.

Mark Twain

Beauty is only skin deep but evil cuts straight through the soul.
