What happened in the past that was painful has a great deal to do with what we are today, but revisiting this painful past can contribute little or nothing to what we need to do now.

Time is a sort of river of passing events, and strong is its current; no sooner is a thing brought to sight than it is swept by and another takes its place, and this too will be swept away.

Marcus Aurelius

My grandfather was a man, when he talked about freedom, his attitude was really interesting. His view was that you had obligations or you had responsibilities, and when you fulfilled those obligations or responsibilities, that then gave you the liberty to do other things.

Clarence Thomas

Power is so characteristically calm, that calmness in itself has the aspect of strength.

Edward George BulwerLytton

John Lennon said life was what happened while you made other plans. So was death.

Richard Castle

Sex is excitement, seeks satisfaction and soon loses interest - selfishness. Making love is passionate, fulfilling and does not look for an end - selflessness.

Barry Long

Meryl Streep

It is easy to condemn, it is better to pity.

Lyman Abbott

Search for meaning, eat, sleep. Search for meaning, eat, sleep. Die, search for meaning, search for meaning, search for meaning.

Doug Horton

Today we must make a pact with each other to end this reckless conduct with the people's government.

Chris Christie

Never put much confidence in such, as put no confidence in others. A man prone to suspect evil is mostly looking in his neighbor for what he sees in himself. As to the pure all things are pure, even so to the impure all things are impure.

J. C. Hare

It is right that what is just should be obeyed. It is necessary that what is strongest should be obeyed.

Blaise Pascal

No one can be profoundly original who does not avoid eccentricity.

Andre Maurois
