Israelis are a mix of North African, Levantine, and Eastern European, which inflames the politics but does amazing things for the women.

Coming to terms with the fact that my marriage was a failure was devastating and very difficult.

Sarah McLachlan

We must realize that growth is but an adolescent phase of life which stops when physical maturity is reached. If growth continues in the period of maturity it is called obesity or cancer. Prescribing growth as the cure for the energy crisis has all the logic of prescribing increasing quantities of food as a remedy for obesity.

Albert A. Bartlett

Here is a lesson in creative writing. First rule: Do not use semicolons. They are transvestite hermaphrodites representing absolutely nothing. All they do is show you've been to college.

Kurt Vonnegut

In science, all facts, no matter how trivial or banal, enjoy democratic equality.

Mary McCarthy

More will sometimes be demanded of you than is reasonable. Bear it meekly, and exhaust your time and strength in performing your duties, rather than in vindicating your rights. Be silent, even when you are misrepresented. Turn aside when opposed, rather than confront opposition with resistance. Bear and forbear, not defending yourselves, so much as trusting to your works to defend you. Yet, in counselling you thus, I would not be understood to be a total non-resistant;a perfectly passive, non-elastic sand-bag, in society; but I would not have you resist until the blow be aimed, not so much at you, as, through you, at the sacred cause of human improvement, in which you are engaged,a point at which forbearance would be allied to crime.

Horace Mann

I hate thinking about it, teaching about it, and writing about it. But the plain truth is that hell is real and real people go there for eternity.

Bill Hybels

For so long as the Jew has even one ally, he will be convinced - in his smallness of mind - that his salvation came from that ally. It is only when he is alone - against all of his own efforts and frantic attempts - that he will, through no choice, be compelled to turn to G-d.

Meir Kahane

Death is the great adventure beside which moon landings and space trips pale into insignificance.

Joseph Bayly

Speakers who talk about what life has taught them never fail to keep the attention of their listeners.

Dale Carnegie

I hate politics, hate deals, and deal-making, hate meeting with attorneys and agents.

Kathie Lee Gifford

But love is blind, and lovers cannot see What petty follies they themselves commit

William Shakespeare

Vagueness is at times an indication of nearness to a perfect truth.

Charles Ives
