The child is the father of the man.

William Wordsworth

There is nothing so bad or so good that you will not find an Englishman doing it; but you will never find an Englishman in the wrong. He does everything on principle. He fights you on patriotic principles; he robs you on business principles; he enslaves you on imperial principles.

George Bernard Shaw

William S. Burroughs

Abraham Lincoln

This life is yours. Take the power to choose what you want to do and do it well. Take the power to love what you want in life and love it honestly. Take the power to walk in the forest and be a part of nature. Take the power to control your own life. No one else can do it for you. Take the power to make your life happy.

Susan Polis Schutz

We know that we have passed from death into life, because we love... 1 John 3:14

Alexander Dumas

The minute a phrase, becomes current, it becomes an apology for not thinking accurately to the end of the sentence.

Oliver Wendell Holmes

I like to write when I feel spiteful. It is like having a good sneeze.

D. H. (David Herbert) Lawrence

For as old age is that period of life most remote from infancy, who does not see that old age in this universal man ought not to be sought in the times nearest his birth, but in those most remote from it?

Blaise Pascal
