Who has not hopedTo outrage an enemy's dignity?Who has not been sweptBy the wish to hurt?And who has not thought that the impersonal worldDeserves no better than to be destroyedBy one fabulous sign of his displeasure?

If music be the food of love, play on; Give me excess of it, that, surfeiting, The appetite may sicken, and so die.

William Shakespeare, Twelfth Nig

You will never be mature enough to face your troubles, If you think you are too young to fight for yourself and your life.

Shubhanshu Tiwari

You can change your world by changing your words... Remember, death and life are in the power of the tongue.

Joel Osteen

Sometimes I think my whole life has been about holding on to you.

Jodi Picoult

In democratic ages men rarely sacrifice themselves for another, but they show a general compassion for all the human race. One never sees them inflict pointless suffering, and they are glad to relieve the sorrows of others when they can do so without much trouble to themselves. They are not disinterested, but they are gentle.

Alexis de Tocqueville

Hunger, revenge, to sleep are petty foes, But only death the jealous eyes can close.

William Wycherley

My parents have a strong work ethic, but their attitude to life, their philosophy, is: 'whatever makes you happy.'

Sally Hawkins

The pure air and dazzling snow belong to things beyond the reach of all personal feeling, almost beyond the reach of life. Yet such things are a part of our life, neither the least noble nor the most terrible.

Frederick Soddy

The need to be right is the sign of a vulgar mind.

Albert Camus

Neither soldiers nor money can defend a king but only friends won by good deeds, merit, and honesty.

Sallust

What goes up must come down. Ask any system administrator.

Anon.

The Divine wisdom has given us prayer, not as a means whereby to obtain the good things of earth, but as a means whereby we learn to do without them not as a means whereby we escape evil, but as a means whereby we become strong to meet it.

Frederick William Robertson
