Like the measles, love is most dangerous when it comes late in life.

I am a thing of beauty.

Frank Sinatra

They are the weakest, however strong, who have no faith in themselves or their own powers.

Christian Nestell Bovee

The books that help you most are those which make you think that most. The hardest way of learning is that of easy reading; but a great book that comes from a great thinker is a ship of thought, deep freighted with truth and beauty.

Theodore Parker

Peace is a natural effect of trade.

Charles de Montesquieu

Etiquette means behaving yourself a little better than is absolutely essential.

Will Cuppy

Don't tell your kids you had an easy birth or they won't respect you. For years I used to wake up my daughter and say, 'Melissa you ripped me to shreds. Now go back to sleep.'.

Joan Rivers

Death is the reward for living

Sylvia Browne

You -- poor and obscure, and small and plain as you are -- I entreat to accept me as a husband.

Charlotte Bronte

If you're trying to achieve, there will be roadblocks. I've had them everybody has had them. But obstacles don't have to stop you. If you run into a wall, don't turn around and give up. Figure out how to climb it, go through it, or work around it.

Michael Jordan

I'd rather have happiness than money. People ask for it. Sometimes when I don't have it. I make other people's problems my problem because they want me to they ask me to.

Brenda Fassie

But I have ever thought religion a concern purely between our God and our consciences, for which we were accountable to him, and not to the priests. I never told my own religion, nor scrutinized that of another. I never attempted to make a convert, nor wished to change another's creed. I have ever judged of the religion of others by their lives, and by this test, my dear Madam, I have been satisfied yours must be an excellent one, to have produced a life of such exemplary virtue and correctness. For it is in our lives, and not from our words, that our religion must be read. By the same test the world must judge me.

Thomas Jefferson

One must learn, if one is to see the beauty in Japan, to like an extraordinarily restrained and delicate loveliness.
