Education is a companion which no misfortune can depress, no crime can destroy, no enemy can alienate,no despotism can enslave. At home, a friend, abroad, an introduction, in solitude a solace and in society an ornament.It chastens vice, it guides virtue, it gives at once grace and government to genius. Without it, what is man? A splendid slave, a reasoning savage.

I'm not taking any interest in politics. I'm not involved in politics in any way. My life is in writing now.

Jeffrey Archer

In art, all who have done something other than their predecessors have merited the epithet of revolutionary and it is they alone who are masters.

Paul Gauguin

I can safely say that other than macaroni and cheese, there's no processed food in my life. There's no inorganic food in my life these days. There's no junk food. There's not a lot of sugar. There's no soy. I mean, really everything that's going into my body is pretty pure.

Ginnifer Goodwin

Skip the religion and politics, head straight to the compassion. Everything else is a distraction.

Talib Kweli

Be thankful for what you have you'll end up having more. If you concentrate on what you don't have, you will never, ever have enough.

Oprah Winfrey

Start with good people, lay out the rules, communicate with your employees, motivate them and reward them. If you do all those things effectively, you can't miss.

Lee Iacocca

There is nothing nobler or more admirable than when two people who see eye to eye keep house as man and wife, confounding their enemies and delighting their friends.

Homer

I set records that will never be equaled. In fact, I hope 90% of them don't even get printed.

Bob Uecker

Erotic longing is really a longing to merge with something greater than oneself. For every kind of love is a force that holds the promise of taking us beyond the limitations of our individual lives.

Julianne Davidow

There is really nothing more to say except why. But since why is difficult to handle, one must take refuge in how.

Toni Morrison

If you teach a poor young man to shave himself, and keep his razor in order, you may contribute more to the happiness of his life than in giving him a thousand guineas. This sum may be soon spent, the regret only remaining of having foolishly consumed it; but in the other case, he escapes the frequent vexation of waiting for barbers, and of their sometimes dirty fingers, offensive breaths, and dull razors.

Benjamin Franklin

Whoever heard of La-ing or Lo-ing somebody you're herding goats with, or laughing with, or making love with.
