Jam! I love my jam. I've just had a batch of it come through, I've been making it.

Kate Moss

We shall see but little way if we require to understand what we see. How few things can a man measure with the tape of his understanding! How many greater things might he be seeing in the meanwhile!

Henry David Thoreau

You may feel like dwelling on your limits or your fears. Don't do it. A perfect prescription for a squandered, unfulfilled life is to accommodate self-defeating feelings while undercutting your finest, most productive ones.

Charles Dudley Warner

Two people can make love but that isn't necessarily love.

Greta Scacchi

Billy Carter

I just hope it grows into where it was before because I want my son to see it. I want him to have a positive memory of it going forward, so he can be proud of his daddy.

Scott Stapp

How very little can be done under the spirit of fear.

Florence Nightingale

I persuaded him to throw the dirk away; and it was as easy as persuading a child to give up some bright fresh new way of killing itself.

Mark Twain
