But it is very foolish to ask questions about any young ladies about any three sisters just grown up; for one knows, without being told, exactly what they are all very accomplished and pleasing, and one very pretty. There is a beauty in every family. It is a regular thing

When the waves are round me breaking,As I pace the deck alone,And my eye in vain is seekingSome green leaf to rest upon;What would not I give to wanderWhere my old companions dwell?Absence makes the heart grow fonder,Isle of Beauty, fare thee well!

John Milton, Paradise Lost

The great networks are there to prove that ideas can be canned like spaghetti. If everything ends up by tasting like everything else, is that not the evidence that it has been properly cooked?

Frederic Raphael

The gates of Hell are open night and day; smooth the descent, and easy is the way: but, to return, and view the cheerful skies; in this, the task and mighty labor lies.

Virgil

He that tries to recommend (Shakespeare) by select quotations, will succeed like the pedant in Hierocles, who, when he offered his house to sale, carried a brick in his pocket as a specimen

Samuel Johnson

Many can brook the weather that love not the wind.

William Shakespeare

We all know we have a problem, a broad problem. Ninety-eight percent of the fuel that is used by our vehicles, our autos and trucks for personal and commercial purposes, for highway and air travel operates on oil. The world has the same problem.

John Olver

Thou has done a deed whereat valour will weep.

William Shakespeare

I think the biggest disease the world suffers from in this day and age is the disease of people feeling unloved. I know that I can give love for a minute, for half an hour, for a day, for a month, but I can give. I am very happy to do that, I want to do that.

Princess Diana

The cat could very well be man's best friend but would never stoop to admitting it.

Doug Larson

Your life is the fruit of your own doing. You have no one to blame but yourself.

Joseph Campbell

A sweetheart is a bottle of wine, a wife is a wine bottle.

Charles Baudelaire

A man can keep a secret better than his own. A woman her own better than others.

Jean de la Bruyere
