Then Love, I beg, when next thou takest thy bow, Thy angry shafts, and dost heart-chasing go, Pass rascal deer, strike me the largest doe.

Let reverence for the laws be breathed by every American mother to the lisping babe that prattles on her lap. Let it be taught in schools, in seminaries, and in colleges. Let it be written in primers, spelling books, and in almanacs. Let it be preached from the pulpit, proclaimed in legislative halls, and enforced in the courts of justice. And, in short, let it become the political religion of the nation.

Abraham Lincoln

Love is anterior to life, posterior to death, initial of creation, and the exponent of breath.

Emily Dickinson

You must also give mental and physical fitness priority.

Jim Otto

We cannot really love anybody with whom we never laugh.

Agnes Repplier

When I started writing, I did have some idealised notion of my dad as a writer. But I have less and less of a literary rivalry with him as I've gone on. I certainly don't feel I need his approval, although maybe that's because I'm confident that I've got it.

Paul Theroux

Reality is a sliding door.

Ralph Waldo Emerson

When I was in college, I was in the theater department, which for anyone who has been involved in any kind of theater program, you know that it's really wacky and tight-knit, a real family. Me and my good friends from college would do random shows and plays that were sometimes serious, but most of the time really goofy and funny.

Darren Criss

Life is not a problem to be solved, but a reality to be experienced.

Soren Kierkegaard

There is a role and function for beauty in our time.

Tadao Ando

A right delayed is a right denied.

Martin Luther King Jr.

Knowledge does not come to us in details, but in flashes of light from heaven.

Henry David Thoreau

Life is short, but there is always time for courtesy.

Ralph Waldo Emerson
