Life is what happens to you while you're making other plans.

What shall he fear that does not fear death.

Friedrich von Schiller

Those who can not adjust to change will be swept aside by it. Those who recognize change and react accordingly will benefit.

Jim Rogers

In the beauty of the lilies Christ was born across the sea, With a glory in his bosom that transfigures you and me: As he died to make men holy, let us die to make men free, While God is marching on.

Julia Ward Howe

A man who does not trust himself will never really trust anybody.

Cardinal De Retz

Words are timeless. You should utter them or write them with a knowledge of their timelessness.

Kahlil Gibran

The lust for comfort, that stealthy thing that enters the house as a guest, and then becomes a host, and then a master.

Kahlil Gibran

We will always tend to fulfill our own expectation of ourselves.

Brian Tracy

In a few decades, the relationship between the environment, resources and conflict may seem almost as obvious as the connection we see today between human rights, democracy and peace.

Wangari Maathai

Jem and Will had set up camp on one of the long tables in the back of the library, ostensibly to help advise her, but more likely, it seemed, to mock and be amused by her consternation. You point your feet out too much when you walk, Will went on. He was busy polishing an apple on his shirtfront, and appeared not to notice Tessa glaring at him. Camille walks delicately. Like a faun in the woods. Not like a duck. I do not walk like a duck. I like ducks, Jem observed diplomatically. Especially the ones in Hyde Park. He glanced sideways at Will; both boys were sitting on the edge of the high table, their legs dangling over the side. Remember when you tried to convince me to feed a poultry pie to the mallards in the park to see if you could breed a race of cannibal ducks? They ate it too, Will reminisced. Bloodthirsty little beasts. Never trust a duck.

Cassandra Clare

You have to see the sex act comically, as a child.

W. H. Auden

When I entered high school I was an A-student, but not for long. I wanted the fancy clothes. I wanted to hang out with the guys. I went from being an A-student to a B-student to a C-student, but I didn't care. I was getting the high fives and the low fives and the pats on the back. I was cool.

Benjamin Carson

Frenchmen have an unlimited capacity for gallantry and indulge it on every occasion.
