Half a truth is often a great lie.

God makes, and apparel shapes; but it's money that finishes the man.

Thomas Fuller

The only men who aren't in fear of women's reactions are usually men who aren't born or who are dead.

Warren Farrell

When we come face-to-face with one down a dark alley, we're going to be having a shufti to see if it's solid, aren't we, we're not going to be asking, 'Excuse me, are you the imprint of a departed soul?

J.K. Rowling

All good government must begin at home.

H. R. Haweis

You are never given a wish without also being given the power to make it come true. You may have to work for it, however.

Richard Bach

It is in Rousseau's writing above all that history begins to turn from upper-class honour to middle-class humanitarianism. Pity, sympathy and compassion lie at the centre of his moral vision. Values associated with the feminine begin to infiltrate social existence as a whole, rather than being confined to the domestic sphere.

Terry Eagleton

This I choose to do. If there is a price, this I choose to pay. If it is my death, then I choose to die. Where this takes me, there I choose to go. I choose. This I choose to do.

Terry Pratchett

Problems do not go away. They must be worked through or else they remain, forever a barrier to the growth and development of the spirit.

M Scott Peck

A man who murders another shortens by a few brief years the life of a human being; but he who votes to increase the burden of debts upon the people of the United States assumes a graver responsibility.

William Jennings Bryan

It is important that we forgive ourselves for making mistakes. We need to learn from our errors and move on.

Steve Maraboli

I don't think it's any coincidence that I lost my religious faith and 'manned up' in the same year. I was described somewhere as a lapsed Catholic, which is funny because I'm not going back! I want to achieve things rather than live life in an animalistic way.

Jimmy Carr

Never compromise your values.
