Love is friendship that has caught fire. It is quiet understanding, mutual confidence, sharing and forgiving. It is loyalty through good and bad times. It settles for less than perfection and makes allowances for human weaknesses.

Compound interest is the eighth wonder of the world. He who understands it, earns it ... he who doesn't ... pays it.

Albert Einstein

In a thousand pounds of law there is not an ounce of love.

John Ray

No mind is thoroughly well organized that is deficient in a sense of humor.

Samuel Taylor Coleridge

The men who make history have not time to write it.

Klemens Von Metternich

There are few better measures of the concern a society has for its individual members and its own well being than the way it handles criminals.

Ramsey Clark

After a certain point, money is meaningless. It ceases to be the goal. The game is what counts.

Aristotle Onassis

You see, Mersualt, all the misery and cruelty of our civilisation can be measured by this one stupid axiom: happy nations have no history.

Albert Camus

I had really great parents who always gave me lots of opportunity for choice, but I didn't always realize how rare that was for a girl for them to say, 'You can be a mom or have a career or do both or do something we haven't thought of yet.'

Ally Condie

Particularly black Americans, many of them, from quotes that I have seen and conversations I've had, are sort of insulted that the civil rights movement is being hijacked - the rhetoric of the civil rights movement is being hijacked for something like same sex marriage. Black Americans tend to have a higher degree of religiosity.

Gary Bauer

I love the diversity of America. I love the plain, normal sense of humor Americans have. It is not wicked, like in some countries. And I also love how new America is.

Antonio Banderas

The boy who expects every morning to open into a new world finds that today is like yesterday, but he believes tomorrow will be different.

Charles Dudley Warner

Do not mourn the dead. They know what they are doing.

Clarice Lispector
