I love you like a river that creates the right conditions for trees and bushes and flowers to flourish along its banks. I love you like a river that gives water to the thirsty and takes people where they want to go.

Healthy emotions come in all sizes. Healthy minds come in all sizes. And healthy bodies come in all sizes.

The United Nations is designed to make possible lasting freedom and independence for all its members.

Harry S Truman

The home seems to me to be the proper sphere for the man. And certainly once a man begins to neglect his domestic duties he becomes painfully effeminate, does he not?

Oscar Wilde

Sensitivity and money are like parallel lines. They don't meet.

Ang Lee

In action a great heart is the chief qualification. In work, a great head.

Arthur Schopenhauer

The sacrifice which causes sorrow to the doer of the sacrifice is no sacrifice. Real sacrifice lightens the mind of the doer and gives him a sense of peace and joy. The Buddha gave up the pleasures of life because they had become painful to him.

Mahatma Gandhi

But to us of a later generation...it is inconceivable that millions of Christian men should have killed and tortured each other, because Napoleon was ambitious, Alexander firm, English policy crafty, and the Duke of Oldenburg hardly treated. We cannot grasp the connections between these circumstances and the bare fact of murder and violence, nor why the duke's wrongs should induce thousands of men from the other side of Europe to pillage and murder the inhabitants of the Smolensk and Moscow provinces and to be slaughtered by them.

Leo Tolstoy

So many things are possible as long as you don't know they are impossible

Mildred D. Taylor

Genius is born, not paid.

Oscar Wilde

It is not strange... to mistake change for progress.
