Example sheds a genial ray which men are apt to borrow, so first improve yourself today, and then your friends tomorrow.

And thus I clothe my naked villainy With old odd ends, stol'n forth of holy writ And seem a saint, when most I play the devil.

William Shakespeare

A woman will flirt with anybody in the world as long as other people are looking on

Oscar Wilde

The chief element in the art of statesmanship under modern conditions is the ability to elucidate the confused and clamorous interests which converge upon the seat of government. It is an ability to penetrate from the na?ve self-interest of each group to its permanent and real interest. Statesmanship consists in giving the people not what they want but what they will learn to want.

Walter Lippmann

It's show business. No show, no business.

Dick Wolf

This activist loves Oregon more than he loves life.

Tom McCall

To be the father of growing daughters is to understand something of what Yeats evokes with his imperishable phrase 'terrible beauty.' Nothing can make one so happily exhilarated or so frightened: it's a solid lesson in the limitations of self to realize that your heart is running around inside someone else's body. It also makes me quite astonishingly calm at the thought of death: I know whom I would die to protect and I also understand that nobody but a lugubrious serf can possibly wish for a father who never goes away.

Christopher Hitchens

The royal road to a man's heart is to talk to him about the things he treasures most.

Dale Carnegie

For success in training children the first condition is to become as a child oneself, but this means no assumed childishness, no condescending baby-talk that the child immediately sees through and deeply abhors. What it does mean is to be as entirely and simply taken up with the child as the child himself is absorbed by his life.

Ellen Key

The world as we have created it is a process of our thinking. It cannot be changed without changing our thinking.

Albert Einstein

Think and feel yourself there! To achieve any aim in life, you need to project the end-result. Think of the elation, the satisfaction, the joy! Carrying the ecstatic feeling will bring the desired goal into view.

Grace Speare

It has too often been too easy for rulers and governments to incite man to war.

Lester B. Pearson

Good actions ennoble us, and we are the sons of our own deeds.

Miguel de Cervantes
