The impulse to cruelty is, in many people, almost as violent as the impulse to sexual love - almost as violent and much more mischievous.

True happiness that stands the taste of time comes by recognizing and appreciating what we do possess.

Ogwo David Emenike

Emotions are your worst enemy in the stock market.

Don Hays

Die and endow a college or a cat.

Alexander Pope

O suns and skies and clouds of June, and flowers of June together. Ye cannot rival for one hour October's bright blue weather.

Helen Hunt Jackson

Before, for me, peace could have been synonymous with boredom.

Isabelle Adjani

The arts and a belief in the values of the civil rights movement, in the overwhelming virtue of diversity, these were our religion. My parents worshipped those ideals.

Jonathan Lethem

Everybody needs beauty as well as bread, places to play in and pray in, where nature may heal and give strength to body and soul.

John Muir

I quickly laugh at everything for fear of having to cry.

Pierre De Beaumarchais

Waiting Hurts. Forgetting Hurts. But not knowing which decision to take is the worst of suffering.

Paulo Coelho

Lance Bass

We have no commission from God to police the world.

Benjamin Harrison

You make your own dream. That's the Beatles' story, isn't it? That's Yoko's story. That's what I'm saying now. Produce your own dream. If you want to save Peru, go save Peru. It's quite possible to do anything, but not to put it on the leaders and the parking meters. Don't expect Jimmy Carter or Ronald Reagan or John Lennon or Yoko Ono or Bob Dylan or Jesus Christ to come and do it for you. You have to do it yourself. That's what the great masters and mistresses have been saying ever since time began. They can point the way, leave signposts and little instructions in various books that are now called holy and worshipped for the cover of the book and not for what it says, but the instructions are all there for all to see, have always been and always will be. There's nothing new under the sun. All the roads lead to Rome. And people cannot provide it for you. I can't wake you up. You can wake you up. I can't cure you. You can cure you.

John Lennon
