All things need watching, working at, caring for and marriage is no exception. Marriage is not something to be treated indifferently, or abused or something that simply takes care of itself. Nothing neglected will remain as it was or is, or will fail to deteriorate. All things need attention care and concern and especially so in this most sensitive of all relationships of life.

Anthony Storr

In particular, the efforts to reestablish peace after the World War have been directed toward the formation of states and the regulation of their frontiers according to a consciously national program.

Christian Lous Lange

Liberty is not merely a privilege to be conferred; it is a habit to be acquired.

David Lloyd George

I have the world's largest collection of seashells. I keep it on all the beaches of the world...perhaps you've seen it.

Steven Wright

Nearly all men have weak hearts, in one way or another.
