If there be light, then there is darkness; if cold, heat; if height, depth; if solid, fluid; if hard, soft; if rough, smooth; if calm, tempest; if prosperity, adversity; if life, death.

I was willing to accept what I couldn't change.

Abdul Kalam

A financier is a pawnbroker with imagination.

Arthur Wing Pinero

Make no mistake, in this campaign, I will offer the American ideals of economic freedom a clear and unapologetic defense.

Mitt Romney

Happiness is a ball after which we run wherever it rolls, and we push it with our feet when it stops.

Johann von Goethe

April prepares her green traffic light and the world thinks Go.

Christopher Morley, John Mistlet

Poetry is the language in which man explores his own amazement... says heaven and earth in one word... speaks of himself and his predicament as though for the first time. It has the virtue of being able to say twice as much as prose in half the time, and the drawback, if you do not give it your full attention, of seeming to say half as much in twice the time.

Christopher Fry

The greatest riddle of all.... the riddle of man! The complex mystery of the universal human being as he stands wihtin the threshold of universal laws. This is the most fascinating puzzle!

Adriana Koulias

Are creeds such simple things like the clothes which a man can change at will and put on at will? Creeds are such for which people live for ages and ages.

Mahatma Gandhi

We must picture hell as a state where everyone is perpetually concerned about his own dignity and advancement, where everyone has a grievance, and where everyone lives with the deadly serious passions of envy, self-importance, and resentment.

C.S. Lewis

There is nothing so lovely and enduring in the regions which surround us, above and below, as the lasting peace of a mind centered in God.

Yoga Vasishtha

The geometry of landscape and situation seems to create its own systems of time, the sense of a dynamic element which is cinematizing the events of the canvas, translating a posture or ceremony into dynamic terms. The greatest movie of the 20th century is the Mona Lisa, just as the greatest novel is Gray's Anatomy.

J. G. Ballard

Possessions, outward success, publicity, luxury - to me these have always been contemptible. I believe that a simple and unassuming manner of life is best for everyone, best for both the body and the mind.

Albert Einstein
