Time passes, and little by little everything that we have spoken in falsehood becomes true.

Marcel Proust

I think beauty comes from within. If you're happy and look at life in the best way you can, even when there are problems, it can make you beautiful on the outside.

Faith Hill

We're understanding what Obama is. He is the great teacher. He is this guy that stands above everybody. There's some condescension in it, but he stands above everybody and says, 'Now, listen. You people have to stop blaming each other unreasonably. You have to get along here and I am going to show you the way.' It is a pretty brave role in many ways.

The Great Way is not difficult for those who have no preferences. When love and hate are both absent everything becomes clear and undisguised.

The struggle of what one likes and what one dislikes is the disease of the mind.

George Bernard Shaw

A woman dictates before marriage in order that she may have an appetite for submission afterwards.

George Eliot
