Kings may be judges of the earth, but wise men are the judges of kings.

History never looks like history when you are living through it.

John W. Gardner

Half a truth is often a great lie.

Benjamin Franklin

You know not, yet, the sort of love that strikes like a lightning bolt; that clutches hold of you by the heart, as irrevocably as death; that becomes the lodestar by which you steer the rest of your life. I would not wish such a love on anyone, man or woman, for it can make your life a paradise, or it can destroy you utterly.

Juliet Marillier

The longer we live, and the more we think, the higher value we learn to put on the friendship and tenderness of parents and friends. Parents we can have but once; and he promises himself too much, who enters life with the expectation of finding many

Samuel Johnson

The value of a man resides in what he gives and not in what he is capable of receiving.

Albert Einstein

I just make it my business to get along with people so I can have fun. It's that simple.

Betty White

There is no tragedy in missing a putt, no matter how short. All have erred in this respect.

Walter Hagen

If we see light at the end of the tunnel, it the light of the oncoming train.

Robert Lowell

Whatever else it was, Adolf Hitler's short-lived regime was also a colossal industrial process by which the wealth and productive power of much of Europe was wrenched from its normal purposes and converted into a machine for killing.

James Buchan

Sad people dislike the happy, and the happy the sad the quick thinking the sedate, and the careless the busy and industrious.

Horace

Motherhood is the keystone of the arch of matrimonial happiness

Thomas Jefferson

Our destiny is aligned with our heart's innermost longing, a longing embedded within our soul before birth. This longing is a unique pattern or configuration reminiscent of the constellations in the night sky. When we express (press out) our unique configuration, it shines through us with an otherworldly luminosity, manifesting abundance in our lives and the lives of others. Our sole task is to yoke our inner destiny, thread it through our lives and weave it into the world. All else is just shadows and dust.
