The greater the truth the greater the libel.

Everyone suffers wrongs for which there is no remedy.

Edward W. Howe

From a child I was fond of reading, and all the little money that came into my hands was ever laid out in books.

Benjamin Franklin

I don't think anyone can speculate what will happen with respect to oil prices and gas prices because they are set on the global economy.

Ken Salazar

The history of the last century shows, as we shall see later, that the advice given to governments by bankers, like the advice they gave to industrialists, was consistently good for bankers, but was often disastrous for governments, businessmen, and the people generally.

Carroll Quigley

Kind words do not cost much. Yet they accomplish much.

Blaise Pascal

Love is the beauty of the soul.

Saint Augustine

It is only in appearance that time is a river. It is rather a vast landscape and it is the eye of the beholder that moves.

Thornton Wilder, The Eighth Day

That is the great mistake about the affections. It is not the rise and fall of empires, the birth and death of kings, or the marching of armies that move them most. When they answer from their depths, it is to the domestic joys and tragedies of life.

Amelia Barr

Speaking personally, you can have my gun, but you'll take my book when you pry my cold, dead fingers off of the binding.

Stephen King

In every way that counted, I was dead. Inside somewhere maybe I was screaming and weeping and howling like an animal, but that was another person deep inside, another person who had no access to the lips and face and mouth and head, so on the surface I just shrugged and smile and kept moving. If I could have physically passed away, just let it all go, like that, without doing anything, stepped out of life as easily as walking through a door I would have done. But I was going to sleep at night and waking in the morning, disappointed to be there and resigned to existence.

Neil Gaiman

Truth is so rare that it is delightful to tell it.

Emily Dickinson

I was never ruined but twice; once when I lost a lawsuit and once when I won one.

Voltaire (FrançoisMarie Arouet)
