It's an indication of how cynical our society has become that any kind of love story with a sad theme is automatically ridiculed as sentimental junk.

In matters of truth the fact that you don't want to publish something is, nine times out of ten, a proof that you ought to publish it.

Gilbert K. Chesterton

The plea of good intentions is not one that can be allowed to have much weight in passing historical judgment upon a man whose wrong-headedness and distorted way of looking at things produced, or helped to produce, such incalculable evil; there is a wide political applicability in the remark attributed to a famous Texan, to the effect that he might, in the end, pardon a man who shot him on purpose, but that he would surely never forgive one who did so accidentally.

Theodore Roosevelt

Some people plant in the spring and leave in the summer. If you're signed up for a season, see it through. You don't have to stay forever, but at least stay until you see it through.

Jim Rohn

The more I give to thee, the more I have, for both are infinite.

William Shakespeare

To her audience, Janis Joplin has remained a symbol, artifact and reminder of late Sixties youth culture. Her popularity never derived from her musical ability, but from her capacity to link her fantasies of freedom and immortality with ours.

Jon Landau

Never waste your time trying to explain who you are to people who are committed to misunderstanding you.

Dream Hampton

I do not know why sorrows come and burning teardrops fall;I only know God still is GodAnd watches over all.

John Gilbert

A Man who has never lied to a woman has no respect for her feeling.

William Nsubuga

My objection to Liberalism is this -- that it is the introduction into the practical business of life of the highest kind -- namely, politics -- of philosophical ideas instead of political principles.

Benjamin Disraeli

Example is always more efficacious than precept.

Samuel Johnson

To be among people one loves, that's sufficient; to dream, to speak to them, to be silent among them, to think of indifferent things; but among them, everything is equal.

Jean de la Bruyere

The greatest foes, and whom we must chiefly combat, are within.

Miguel de Cervantes
