The deepest experience of the creator is feminine, for it is experience of receiving and bearing.

The best friend is likely to acquire the best wife, because a good marriage is based on the talent for friendship.

Friedrich Nietzsche

Status will get you nowhere. Only an open heart will allow you to float equally between everyone.

Mitch Albom

Life is neither good or evil, but only a place for good and evil.

Marcus Aurelius

You will soon break the bow if you keep it always stretched.

Phaedrus

Have you never been moved by poor men's fidelity, the image of you they form in their simple minds? Why should you always talk of their envy, without understanding that what they ask of you is not so much your worldly goods, as something very hard to define, which they themselves can put no name to; yet at times it consoles their loneliness; a dream of splendor, of magnificence, a tawdry dream, a poor man's dream --and yet God blesses it!

Georges Bernanos

I never looked at the consequences of missing a big shot... when you think about the consequences you always think of a negative result.

Michael Jordan

A mere forty years ago, beach volleyball was just beginning. No bureaucrat would have invented it, and that's what freedom is all about.

Newt Gingrich

I'm sorry for my inability to let unimportant things go, for my inability to hold on to the important things.

Jonathan Safran Foer

There is the truth of history, and there is the truth of what a person remembers. As {she} sat at the edge of {the lake}, memory blossoms floated unbounded, as though breathed, no words spoken. Like birds that fly across national borders, between countries at war at each other.

Rebecca Wells

It ain't what you eat, but the way how you chew it.

Delbert Mcclinton

A set definite objective must be established if we are to accomplish anything in a big way.

John D. MacDonald

Man hands on misery to man. It deepens like a coastal shelf. Get out as early as you can, and don't have any kids yourself.

Philip Larkin
