My life was changed in one breath from God.

The god of Victory is said to be one-handed, but Peace gives victory to both sides.

Ralph Waldo Emerson

I was the black sheep of the family, and my mother never really understood me.

Andre Rieu

Practice in life whatever you pray for and God will give it to you more abundantly.

Edward Bouverie Pusey

When a friend, then, indulges in the joy of unburdening a secret on to another friend's bosom, he makes the latter, in his turn, feel the urge to taste the same joy himself. He implores him, it is true, not to tell a soul; but if such a condition were taken absolutely literally, it would at once cut off the flow of these joys at their very source. The general practice is for the secret to be confided only to an equally trustworthy friend, the same conditions being imposed on him. And so from trustworthy friend to trustworthy friend the secret goes moving on round that immense chain, until finally it reaches the ears of just the very person or persons whom the first talker had expressly intended it never should reach.

Alessandro Manzoni

God grants liberty only to those who love it, and are always ready to guard and defend it.

Daniel Webster

My loneliness was born when men praised my talkative faults and blamed my silent virtues.

Kahlil Gibran

You can always tell a Harvard man, but you can't tell him much.

Europe has been at peace since 1945. But it is a restless peace thats shadowed by the threat of violence. Europe is partitioned. An unnatural line runs through the heart of a very great and a very proud nation Germany. History warns us that until this harsh division has been resolved, peace in Europe will never be secure. We must turn to one of the great unfinished tasks of our generationand that unfinished task is making Europe whole again.

Lyndon B. Johnson

This great maxim of Philosophy he had gathered by the teaching of nature alone: That man was created to work, not to speculate, or feel, or dream.

Thomas Carlyle

Do what you love. Know your own bone; gnaw at it, bury it, unearth it, and gnaw it still.

Henry David Thoreau

In quoting of books, quote such authors as are usually read; others you may read for your own satisfaction, but not name them.

John Selden

Let me make the superstitions of a nation and I care not who makes its laws or its songs either.

Mark Twain
