He that is discontented in one place will seldom be content in another.

On the occasions when I have pondered over men's various activities, the dangers and worries they are exposed to at court or at war, from which so many quarrels, passions, risky, often ill-conceived actions and so on are born, I have often said that man's unhappiness springs from one thing alone, his incapacity to stay quietly in one room. A man wealthy enough for life's needs would never leave home to go to sea or beseige some fortress if he knew how to stay at home and enjoy it...

Blaise Pascal, Pense

To enjoy good health, to bring true happiness to one's family, to bring peace to all, one must first discipline and control one's own mind. If a man can control his mind he can find the way to Enlightenment, and all wisdom and virtue will naturally come to him.

Buddha

I do think we know that a teacher who knows what he or she is doing, knows their subject matter, and knows how to impart knowledge to kids is a critical piece of closing the achievement gap.

Margaret Spellings

Fatigue makes cowards of us all.

Vince Lombardi

There are no accidents, only nature throwing her weight around. Even the bomb merely releases energy that nature has put there. Nuclear war would be just a spark in the grandeur of space. Nor can radiation alter nature: she will absorb it all. After the bomb, nature will pick up the cards we have spilled, shuffle them, and begin her game again.

Camille Anna Paglia

I'm not a terrible person, I know that, but sometimes in a relationship, I can be crappy.

Kris Allen

Mr. Geithner is an excellent minister. We have a good personal relationship.

Wolfgang Schauble

The covetous man never has money. The prodigal will have none shortly.

Ben Johnson

Every relationship has its own language. It takes a long time to evolve and read one another. Just as it's true for people, it's also true on a national or cultural level.

David Mitchell

When all is said and done, the weather and love are the two elements about which one can never be sure.

Alice Hoffman

No wise combatant underestimates their antagonist.

Johann von Goethe

In this loveless everyday life eroticism is a substitute for love.

Henri Lefebvre
