In looking back, I see nothing to regret and little to correct.

If the radiance of a thousand suns were to burst forth at once in the sky, that would be like the splendour of the Mighty One. I am mighty, world-destroying Time

Bhagavad Gita

Humanitarianism consists in never sacrificing a human being to a purpose.

Albert Schweitzer

Courage is not the absence of fear but rather the judgment that something is more important than fear. The brave may not live forever but the cautious do not live at all.

Meg Cabot, from the movie The Pr

Chance makes our parents, but choice makes our friends.

Jacques Delille

Whoever has provoked men to rage against him has always gained a party in his favor, too.

Friedrich Nietzsche

Socialists ignore the side of man that is the spirit. They can provide you shelter, fill your belly with bacon and beans, treat you when you're ill, all the things guaranteed to a prisoner or a slave. They don't understand that we also dream.

Ronald Reagan

Trying is always enough.

Patricia Briggs

The praise of ancient authors proceeds not from the reverence of the dead, but from the competition and mutual envy of the living.

Thomas Hobbes

It's not only imagination, it's the distortion of the vision. You suddenly think, This person is idealistic, this person is strong, this person has dreams, when you know better most of the time. You put what you want to see on people.

Olivier Martinez

If you spent your life concentrating on what everyone else thought of you, would you forget who you really were? What if the face you showed the world turned out to be a mask... with nothing beneath it?

Jodi Picoult

How can a girl look so innocent and so hot at the same time?

Angela Richardson

Whatever poet, orator or sage may say of it, old age is still old age.

Sinclair Lewis
