Depth of friendship does not depend on length of acquaintance.

In this unbelievable universe in which we live there are no absolutes. Even parallel lines, reaching into infinity, meet somewhere yonder.

Pearl Buck, A Bridge for Passing

The principles of living greatly include the capacity to face trouble with courage, disappointment with cheerfulness, and trial with humility.

Thomas S. Monson

The most spiritual men, as the strongest, find their happiness where others would find their destruction: in the labyrinth, in hardness against themseleves and others, in experiments. Their joy is self-conquest. Difficult tasks are a priviledge to them; to play with burdens that crush others, a recreation. They are the most venerable kind of man: that does not preclude their being the most cheerful and the kindliest.

Friedrich Nietzsche

When a woman marries again it is because she detested her first husband. When a man marries again it is because he adored his first wife. Women try their luck; men risk theirs.

Oscar Wilde

Worldly faces never look so worldly as at a funeral

George Eliot

Even if it is only for a matter of moments, because those moments bring with them a Love so intense that it justifies the rest of our days.

Paulo Coelho

A man's reputation is what other people think of him; his character is what he really is.

Jack Miner

That sense of failure, I don't know where people put it who don't write songs and aren't able to emote physically. It must go somewhere.

Sting

Film is an illusion. Fame is ephemeral. Faith and family are what endure.

Emilio Estevez

You can get something done in a short time with fear, but in the long run it just doesn't pay off.

Wendell Parsons

I think that both men, Bush and Blair, will be damned in history. Both men have made their respective countries the two most hated countries in the world.

George Galloway

No legacy is so rich as honesty.

William Shakespeare
