Love is much like a wild rose, beautiful and calm, but willing to draw blood in its defense.

Putin has a lot at stake here and restoring the relationship with the United States, and there are already signs as Sandy mentioned that he's moving in the right direction to begin to ascertain that their trade with Iran is not used for the production of nuclear weapons.

Dr. Seuss (Theodor Seuss Geisel)

Sidney Poitier

We just don't know what they are.

Anita Shreve

The beginning of anxiety is the end of faith, and the beginning of true faith is the end of anxiety.

George E. Mueller

I am easily satisfied with the very best.

Winston Churchill
