During the holiday season, it's easy to forget that sometimes the best gift of all is simply the gift of time. I can't think of anything a writer would appreciate more than being given time and space to work.

Nothing can be more hurtful to the service, than the neglect of discipline; for that discipline, more than numbers, gives one army the superiority over another.

George Washington

I won't eat anything green.

Kurt Cobain

I'm so happy and thankful I made it a point be a stay-at-home mom.

Candace Cameron Bure

I can't tell anybody else how to run their life or their business, but I really believe I've got a good bead on myself.

Dolly Parton

All things tend to corrupt perverted minds.

Marcus Tullius Cicero

My grandmother was the greatest cook in the world. She could just go in there, the whole kitchen would look like a tornado hit it and then she'd come out with the best food. Then she'd sit at the table and she wouldn't eat!

Edie Brickell

The color of truth is gray.

André Gide

My mom grew up in poverty in Oklahoma - like Dust Bowl, nine people in one room kind of place - and the way she got out of poverty was through education. My dad grew up without a dad, with very little and he also made his way out through education.

Jennifer Garner

I think it is totally wrong and terribly harmful if education is defined as acquiring knowledge.

William Glasser

The pessimist sees difficulty in every opportunity. The optimist sees the opportunity in every difficulty.

Sir Winston Churchill

There is a trade off - as you grow older you gain wisdom but you lose spontaneity.

Kenny Rogers

Marital intercourse is certainly holy, lawful and praiseworthy in itself and profitable to society, yet in certain circumstances it can prove dangerous, as when through excess the soul is made sick with venial sin, or through the violation and perversion of its primary end, killed by mortal sin; such perversion, detestable in proportion to its departure from the true order, being always mortal sin, for it is never lawful to exclude the primary end of marriage which is the procreation of children.

St. Francis De Sales
