I am dwelling on things I love, even if a measure of tragedy is stitched into everything, if you follow the thread long enough

Kindness is more than deeds. It is an attitude, an expression, a look, a touch. It is anything that lifts another person.

C. Neil Strait

To speak and act truth with constancy and precision is nearly as difficult, and perhaps as meretorious, as to speak it under intimidation or penalty

John Ruskin

There is a difference between happiness and wisdom: he that thinks himself the happiest man is really so but he that thinks himself the wisest is generally the greatest fool.

Francis Bacon

Nothing is so much to be feared as fear

Henry David Thoreau

There is a glaring reason that the necessary total ban on nontherapeutic use of antibiotics hasn't happened: The factory farm industry, allied with the pharmaceutical industry, has more power than public-health professionals.

Jonathan Safran Foer

I like spring, but it is too young. I like summer, but it is too proud. So I like best of all autumn, because its tone is mellower, its colours are richer, and it is tinged with a little sorrow. Its golden richness speaks not of the innocence of spring, nor the power of summer, but of the mellowness and kindly wisdom of approaching age. It knows the limitations of life and its content.

Lin Yutang

The conversational overachiever is someone whose grasp exceeds his reach. This is possible but not attractive.

Fran Lebowitz, Metropolitan Life

We all have problems...everyone does.The only people that don't have any are buried in cemeteries. Rise above your problems and enjoy your life. Change the way you think and you will.

Timothy Pina

Genius is formed in quiet, character in the stream of human life

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

Human love is often but the encounter of two weaknesses.

Francois Mauriac

I wear not My dagger in my mouth

William Shakespeare

Good, better, best; never let it rest till your good is better and your better is best.
