If you are to stand up for your Government you must be able to stand up to your Government.

Humor is always based on a modicum of truth. Have you ever heard a joke about a father-in-law.

Dick Clark

Every right implies a responsibility; Every opportunity, an obligation, Every possession, a duty.

John D. Rockefeller

There is no harm in patience, and no profit in lamentation. Death is easier to bear (than) that which precedes it, and more severe than that which comes after it. Remember the death of the Apostle of God, and your sorrow will be lessened.

Abu Bakr

By his father he is English, by his mother he is Americanto my mind the blend which makes the perfect man.

Mark Twain

It was the pure Language of the World. It required no explanation, just as the universe needs none as it travels through endless time. What the boy felt at that moment was that he was in the presence of the only woman in his life, and that, with no need for words, she recognized the same thing. He was more certain of it than of anything in the world. He had been told by his parents and grandparents that he must fall in love and really know a person before becoming committed. But maybe people who felt that way had never learned the universal language. Because, when you know that language, it's easy to understand that someone in the world awaits you, whether it's in the middle of the desert or in some great city. And when two such people encounter each other, and their eyes meet, the past and the future become unimportant. There is only that moment, and the incredible certainty that everything under the sun has been written by one hand only. It is the hand that evokes love, and creates a twin soul for every person in the world. Without such love, one's dreams would have no meaning.

Paulo Coelho

They were partners. She would always make impulsive decisions and he would make slow, reasoned ones. He would always be a little terrified that she would look at him with the scorn he saw in his mother's eyes. And she would always be a little terrified that he would look at her and not love her enough.In short, they were made for each other.

Eloisa James

It is not the body's posture, but the heart's attitude that counts when we pray.

Billy Graham

You just have to be yourself and go full with confidence and be courageous.

Gabby Douglas

We have to always hope in humanity that people will make the right choices.

King Abdullah II

In the autumn of your years don't make it so that what you look back on is regret. Live your life now so that whatever you do gives some sunshine before you head into the winter of your life.

Stephen Richards

Content is a word unknown to life; it is also a word unknown to man.
