The joy of life comes from our encounters with new experiences, and hence there is no greater joy than to have an endlessly changing horizon, for each day to have a new and different sun.

Alack, there lies more peril in thine eyeThan twenty of their swords: look thou but sweet,And I am proof against their enmity.

William Shakespeare

Try to keep your soul young and quivering right up to old age, and to imagine right up to the brink of death that life is only beginning. I think that is the only way to keep adding to one's talent, and one's inner happiness.

George Sand

There are numerous bugbears in the profession of a politician. First, ordinary life suffers. Second, there are many temptations to ruin you and those around you. And I suppose third, and this is rarely discussed, people at the top generally have no friends.

Boris Yeltsin

The intelligent man is one who has successfully fulfilled many accomplishments, and is yet willing to learn more.

Ed Parker

Things have never been more like the way they are today in history.

Dwight D. Eisenhower

You have to find a balance with food in your life - you can't take out food. It can be absolutely terrifying.

Carre Otis

Action may not always bring happiness but there is no happiness without action.

Benjamin Disraeli

In almost everything that touches our everyday life on earth, God is pleased when we're pleased. He wills that we be as free as birds to soar and sing our maker's praise without anxiety.

Aiden Wilson Tozer

The most merciful thing in the world, I think, is the inability of the human mind to correlate all its contents. We live on a placid island of ignorance in the midst of black seas of infinity, and it was not meant that we should voyage far. The sciences, each straining in its own direction, have hitherto harmed us little; but some day the piecing together of dissociated knowledge will open up such terrifying vistas of reality, and of our frightful position therein, that we shall either go mad from the revelation or flee from the deadly light into the peace and safety of a new dark age.

H.P. (Howard Phillips) Lovecraft

The spirits of children are remote and wise...

Frances Cornford

Censorship, like charity, should begin at home, but, unlike charity, it should end there.

Clare Boothe Luce

A lawful kiss is never worth a stolen one.

Maupassant
