First impressions are often the truest, as we find (not infrequently) to our cost, when we have been wheedled out of them by plausible professions or studied actions. A man's look is the work of years; it is stamped on his countenance by the events of his whole life, nay, more, by the hand of nature, and it is not to be got rid of easily.

A man who trusts nobody is apt to be the kind of man nobody trusts.

Harold MacMillan

The shame of living extends its tentacles around my dreams.

Anne de Gandt

It is a great consolation for me to remember that the Lord, to whom I had drawn near in humble and child-like faith, has suffered and died for me, and that He will look on me in love and compassion.

Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart

Todo buen matrimonio es un territorio secreto, un espacio necesariamente en blanco en el mapa de la sociedad. Lo que los demás no saben de él es lo que lo hace tuyo.

Stephen King

For most men life is a search for the proper manila envelope in which to get themselves filed.

Clifton Fadiman

Wisdom doesn't necessarily come with age. Sometimes age just shows up by itself.

Woodrow Wilson

A person that much interested in science is going to neglect his social life somewhat, but not completely, because that isn't healthy either. So one has to work it out according to one's own inclinations, how one wants to proportion these things.

Clyde Tombaugh

Work harder on yourself than you do on your job.

Jim Rohn

The biggest difference between ancient Rome and the USA is that in Rome the common man was treated like a dog. In America he sets the tone. This is the first country where the common man could stand erect.

I. F. Stone

I never thought to myself, I'm going to grow up and fall in love with a man or I'm going to fall in love with a woman because my mother is a lesbian.

Ally Sheedy

I am part of what she thinks is her illness, a symptom of which she thinks she has been cured. She, on the other hand, is what I was looking for.

Louise Erdrich

In every difficult situation is potential value. Believe this, then begin looking for it.
