Example is a bright looking-glass, universal and for all shapes to look into.

Traveling makes a man wiser, but less happy.

Thomas Jefferson

In every phenomenon the beginning remains always the most notable moment.

Thomas Carlyle

I'm an emotional sort of person in general and I have a vivid imagination, so I feel the whole spectrum of emotion strongly when I write.

Erin Morgenstern

If I was sad or afraid, I would sit in a corner and sing. If I was happy I would jump into the middle of the room and sing. It was how I expressed my emotions.

Nana Mouskouri

Yet tell me, my brothers: if a goal for humanity is still lacking, is there not still lacking--humanity itself?

Friedrich Nietzsche

I think with motherhood and child-rearing in general, everyone's going to tell you how to do it and why. I've always said to other mothers and women when they've asked me, that you have to find your own way and find out what works for your family, at all costs.

Brooke Burke

In the first place we should insist that if the immigrant who comes here in good faith becomes an American and assimilates himself to us, he shall be treated on an exact equality with everyone else, for it is an outrage to discriminate against any such man because of creed, or birthplace, or origin. But this is predicated upon the man's becoming in very fact an American, and nothing but an American...There can be no divided allegiance here. Any man who says he is an American, but something else also, isn't an American at all. We have room for but one flag, the American flag, and this excludes the red flag, which symbolizes all wars against liberty and civilization, just as much as it excludes any foreign flag of a nation to which we are hostile...We have room for but one language here, and that is the English language...and we have room for but one sole loyalty and that is a loyalty to the American people.

Theodore Roosevelt

I like strength. I depend on my own.

Shelby Lynne

Laughter is day, and sobriety is night a smile is the twilight that hovers gently between both, more bewitching than either.

Henry Ward Beecher

The truth is, I initially became a singer-songwriter while still in my teens because it was the only way to guarantee that somebody on earth would sing the songs I was writing. Since then, I've performed just about everywhere: rock clubs, concerts halls, arenas, TV.

Rupert Holmes

The truth only irritates those it enlightens, but does not convert.

Pasquier Quesnel

I think essentially the meaning of life is probably the journey and not really any one thing or an outcome or a result. I think it's kinda the process and I think that if you can find happiness in the process then maybe that's it.
