We love those who know the worst of us and don't turn their faces away.

Better know nothing than half-know many things

Friedrich Nietzsche

You give me nothing during your life, but you promise to provide for me at your death. If you are not a fool, you know what I wish for!

Marcus Valerius Martial

There is no witness so terrible and no accuser so powerful as conscience which dwells within us.

Sophocles

What is the recipe for successful achievement? To my mind there are just four essential ingredients: Choose a career you love, give it the best there is in you, seize your opportunities, and be a member of the team.

Benjamin F. Fairless

Listen to the desires of your children. Encourage them and then give them the autonomy to make their own decision.

Denis Waitley

Talent is a flame. Genius is a fire.

Bern Williams

The devil will let a preacher prepare a sermon if it will keep him from preparing himself.

Vance Havner

I know it is hard for you young mothers to believe that almost before you can turn around the children will be gone and you will be alone with your husband. You had better be sure you are developing the kind of love and friendship that will be delightful and enduring. Let the children learn from your attitude that he is important. Encourage him. Be kind. It is a rough world, and he, like everyone else, is fighting to survive. Be cheerful. Don't be a whiner.

Marjorie Pay Hinckley

However saying that I totally support the concept of civil partnerships in the eyes of the law, and think it a disgrace that same sex couples have had to wait so long for legal rights, protection and recognition.

Adam Rickitt

Our words, our thoughts, and our feelings all contribute to the creation of our reality. Our word is a two-edged sword, it can create or it can destroy. To be impeccable is to create with conscious awareness and love. Ruiz also makes the point that our perceptions of others are merely reflections of ourselves. Therefore, to put another down or project negative words or energy towards another person, is to lash out at the other person because of our own insecurities. The human mind is fertile ground for the seeds that are our word. So plant the seeds of love, not fear. Judging, blaming, shaming, and especially gossiping create poison in ourselves and others. This agreement alone is enough to break all of your old agreements and change the dream of your life.

Don Miguel Ruiz, The Four Agreem

Courage is very important. Like a muscle, it is strengthened by use.

Ruth Gordon

Cards are war, in disguise of a sport.

Charles Lamb
