Family is more than blood

Sometimes we may learn more from a man's errors, than from his virtues.

Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

Life is a gift, given in trust - like a child.

Anne Morrow Lindbergh

When you wish to instruct, be brief; that men's minds take in quickly what you say, learn its lesson, and retain it faithfully. Every word that is unnecessary only pours over the side of a brimming mind.

Marcus Tullius Cicero

The Constitution only guarantees the American people the right to pursue happiness. You have to catch it yourself.

Benjamin Franklin

John Kenneth Galbraith

When I was a kid, I took 'The Brady Bunch' and 'The Partridge Family' very seriously. It was a world to me in the same way that the Greek myths would have been had I read them. You know, Marcia is Athena and Mr. Brady is Zeus.

George Saunders

A child of five would understand this. Send someone to fetch a child of five.

Groucho Marx

Wallace Stevens

What an occupation! To sit and flay your fellow men and then offer their skins for sale and expect them to buy them.

J. August Strindberg

A person's fate is their own temper.

Benjamin Disraeli

I feel as though my career really hit its high point when I was cast as a supporting actress in 'American Wedding'. I thought the script had a lot of depth and intelligence, and it really just jumped off the page.

January Jones

I try to give people a different way of looking at their surroundings. That's art to me.

Maya Lin
