In giving us children, God places us in a position of both leadership and service. He calls us to give up our lives for someone else's sake - to abandon our own desires and put our child's interests first. Yet, according to His perfect design, it is through this selflessness that we can become truly fulfilled.

There is, on the whole, nothing on earth intended for innocent people so horrible as a school. To begin with, it is a prison. But in some respects more cruel than a prison. In a prison, for instance, you are not forced to read books written by the warders and the governor. . . .In the prison you are not forced to sit listening to turnkeys discoursing without charm or interest on subjects that they don't understand and don't care about, and therefore incapable of making you understand or care about. In a prison they may torture your body; but they do not torture your brains.

George Bernard Shaw

We need a data network that can easily carry voice, instead of what we have today, a voice network struggling to carry data.

Reed Hundt

Old times never come back and I suppose it's just as well. What comes back is a new morning every day in the year, and that's better.

George E. Woodberry

Directing teenage actors is like juggling jars of nitro-glycerine: exhilarating and dangerous.

Stephen King

Nobody speaks the truth when there's something they must have.

Elizabeth Bowen

Never, never and never again shall it be that this beautiful land will again experience the oppression of one by another.

Nelson Mandela

People talk of me as being the inventor of the legal thriller.

Scott Turow

My father was never anti-anything in our house.

Errol Flynn

I think there have always been funny women, from Carol Burnett to Joan Rivers. When the audience sees a woman, they innately know she's worked twice as hard to get there, she's had to prove that she can be the leader, first, and then be funny on top of it. She has to emit a confidence that she's in control.

Wendy Liebman

But we know that freedom cannot be served by the devices of the tyrant. As it is an ancient truth that freedom cannot be legislated into existence, so it is no less obvious that freedom cannot be censored into existence. And any who act as if freedoms defenses are to be found in suppression and suspicion and fear confess a doctrine that is alien to America.

Dwight D Eisenhower

Marry me he said voice full of emotion. Be my soul mate my friend and my lover as long as we both live. Make babies with me that have curly hair and big brown eyes. Grow old with me and we'll watch the sun set together in the evenings. And when I leave this world I'll be happy knowing I was the best man I could be for having loved you.

Jo Davis

I busted a mirror and got seven years bad luck, but my lawyerthinks he can get me five.
