There is not to be found, in all history, any miracle attested by a sufficient number of men, of such unquestioned good sense, education and learning, as to secure us against all delusion in themselves.

Believe in yourself and there will come a day when others will have no choice but to believe with you.

Cynthia Kersey

This world has suns, but they are overcast; This world has sweets, but they're of ling'ring bloom; Life still expects, and empty falls at last; Warm Hope on tiptoe drops into the tomb.

John Clare

These names: gay, queer, homosexual are limiting. I would love to finish with them. We're going to have to decide which terms to use and where we use them. For me to use the word queer is a liberation; it was a word that frightened me, but no longer.

Derek Jarman

We can forgive a man for making a useful thing as long as he does not admire it. The only excuse for making a useless thing is that one admires it intensely.

Oscar Wilde

Men must necessarily be the active agents of their own well-being and well-doing... they themselves must in the very nature of things be their own best helpers.

Samuel Smiles

After making love to this girl she started crying, I said Are you going to hate yourself in the morning, No I hate myself now

Rodney Dangerfield

Common sense is genius in homespun.

Alfred North Whitehead

If man had created man, he would be ashamed of his performance.

Mark Twain

Orange, Longbottom.

J.K. Rowling

Anger is never without an argument, but seldom with a good one.

Edward F. Halifax

I really feel like life will dictate itself. You should allow it to unfold as naturally as possible. Just go with the flow. When you're really desperate, you say a few prayers and hope for the best. That's the way I've always lived my life.

Shania Twain

Nothing can bring you peace but yourself.

Ralph Waldo Emerson
