Don't think so much about who is for or against you, rather give all your care, that God be with you in everything you do.

Recipes are important but only to a point. What's more important than recipes is how we think about food, and a good cookbook should open up a new way of doing just that.

Michael Symon

Sometimes the only way to deal with horrific things in life is through a dark sense of humor.

Margaret Cho

Cares that have entered once in the breast, will have whole possession of the rest.

Ben Johnson

Everybody sung in my family.

Rod Stewart

It is with rivers as it is with people: the greatest are not always the most agreeable nor the best to live with.

Henry Van Dyke

It seems that the fiction writer has a revolting attachment to the poor, for even when he writes about the rich, he is more concerned with what they lack than with what they have.

Flannery O'Connor

If there is anything that keeps the mind open to angel visits, and repels the ministry of ill, it is human love.

Nathaniel Parker Willis

What wreath for Lamia? What for Lycius?What for the sage, old Apollonius?Upon her aching forehead be there hungThe leaves of willow and of adder's tongue;And for the youth, quick, let us strip for himThe thyrsus, that his watching eyes may swimInto forgetfulness; and, for the sage,Let spear-grass and the spiteful thistle wageWar on his temples. Do not all charms flyAt the mere touch of cold philosophy?There was an awful rainbow once in heaven:We know her woof, her texture; she is givenIn the dull catalogue of common things.Philosophy will clip an Angel's wings,Conquer all mysteries by rule and line,Empty the haunted air, and gnomed mine -Unweave a rainbow, as it erewhile madeThe tender-person'd Lamia melt into a shade.http://www.classicreader.com/read.php/sid.4/bookid.1076/sec.2/

John Keats, Lamia (part ii), 181

Study men, not historians.

Harry S. Truman

The itch of disputing is the scab of the churches.

Sir Henry Wotton

I was walking around legally blind. Now I have 20-20 vision. I can't believe I spent so many years blurry, but I think that coincides with how I was feeling. Now I notice if people are watching me, but I also smile right back if someone waves, which helps.

Nicole Kidman

Pain adds rest unto pleasure, and teaches the luxury of health.
