Is it less dishonest to do what is wrong because it is not expressly prohibited by written law? Let us hope our moral principles are not yet in that stage of degeneracy.

He who clings to life shall lose it -- but losing it in a right cause will gain it.

The happiness of life is made up of minute fractions - the little, soon forgotten charities of a kiss or a smile, a kind look or heartfelt compliment.

Samuel Taylor Coleridge

The present is what is happening when you strip away all the resentments of your past and all the worries you have about your future.

John Kuypers

Surrealism: An archaic term. Formerly an art movement. No longer distinguishable from everyday life.

Brad Holland

My mom was a dancer, my dad's a singer and I've always had that kind of music in my life.

Elvis Stojko

I have to live with both my selves as best I may.

Brigitte Bardot

To enter heaven is to become more human than you ever succeeded in being on earth; to enter hell, is to be banished from humanity.

C.S. Lewis

Because philosophy arises from awe, a philosopher is bound in his way to be a lover of myths and poetic fables. Poets and philosophers are alike in being big with wonder.

Thomas Aquinas

Dollars! All their cares, hopes, joys, affections, virtues, and associations seemed to be melted down into dollars. Whatever the chance contributions that fell into the slow cauldron of their talk, they made the gruel thick and slab with dollars. Men were weighed by their dollars, measures were gauged by their dollars; life was auctioned, appraised, put up, and knocked down for its dollars. The next respectable thing to dollars was any venture having their attainment for its end. The more of that worthless ballast, honor and fair-dealing, which any man cast overboard from the ship of his Good Nature and Good Intent, the more ample stowage-room he had for dollars. Make commerce one huge lie and mighty theft. Deface the banner of the nation for an idle rag; pollute it star by star; and cut out stripe by stripe as from the arm of a degraded soldier. Do anything for dollars! What is a flag to them!

Charles Dickens

Some people need to stay at the top. They are afraid to re-start from zero because they fear the critics.

Eric Cantona

To many women marriage is only this. It is merely a physical change impinging on their ordinary nature, leaving their mentality untouched, their self-possession intact. They are not burnt by even the red fire of physical passion - far less by the white fire of love.

Mary Webb

If you have never been hated by your child, you have never been a parent.

Bette Davis
