love one another, but make not a bond of love: let it rather be a moving sea between the shores of your souls. fill each other's cup but drink not from one cup. give one another of your bread but eat not from the same loaf sing and dance together and be joyous, but let each one of you be alone, even as the strings of a lute are alone though they quiver with the same music.

Moral principle is a looser bond than pecuniary interest

Abraham Lincoln

Principle, particularly moral principal, can never be a weathervane, spinning around this way and that with the shifting winds of expediency. Moral principle is a compass forever fixed and forever true. And that is as important in business as it is in the classroom.

Edward R. Lyman

Little-minded people's thoughts move in such small circles that five minutes conversation gives you an arc long enough to determine their whole curve.

Oliver Wendell Holmes

On the whole, I prefer Christmas as an adult than I did as a child.

Nigella Lawson

In the world we live in everything militates in favor of things that have not yet happened, of things that will never happen again.

Andre Breton

A man will go to war, fight and die for his country. But he won't get a bikini wax.

Rita Rudner

(Howard) Dean is a raving nut bag...a raving, sinister, demagogic nutbag...I and a few other people saw that he should be destroyed.

Christopher Hitchens

You feel sometimes when you hear analysts and knowledgeable people talking about Iran that they fear so much about the survival of the regime, because deep down it's not a legitimate regime, it doesn't represent the will of the people, it's kind of morphed into kind of a military theocracy.

Hillary Clinton

How hurtful it can be to deny one's true self and live a life of lies just to appease others.

June Ahern

In conversation, humor is worth more than wit and easiness more than knowledge.

George Herbert

It is that, but really, it's about how we don't recognise the little things in life, or appreciate the little things in life like belonging. A sense of belonging is a big thing today.

James Caan

Sometimes a character is really based on research that you do. Other times it's just based on your imagination or perhaps your conversation with the director. Or sometimes all of the above. It depends on the movie and character.

Joaquin Phoenix
