I love to not work. I like to travel. I work maybe half the year, no more.

The aim of the wise is not to secure pleasure, but to avoid pain.

Aristotle

She looked out at the other trees, and she realised that her life was one of thousands, any one of which could have been her, she had grown wherever her life had taken her, she had drifted wherever the wind had blown her.

Dave McKean

I started out mopping floors, waiting tables, and tending bar at my dad's tavern. I put myself through school working odd jobs and night shifts. I poured my heart and soul into a small business. And when I saw how out-of-touch Washington had become with the core values of this great nation, I put my name forward and ran for office.

John Boehner

That moderation which nature prescribes, which limits our desires by resources restricted to our needs, has abandoned the field; it has now come to this -- that to want only what is enough is a sign both of boorishness and of utter destitution.

Seneca (Seneca the Elder)

To his dog, every man is Napoleon; hence the constant popularity of dogs.

Aldous Huxley

No one is in control of your happiness but you therefore, you have the power to change anything about yourself or your life that you want to change.

Barbara de Angelis

It was huge to read the Proverbs of the day every morning, it was huge to read the Psalm of the day every morning and to get that in us and get us going before the day even started.

Tim Tebow

Men didn't respect beauty...they used it.

Nora Roberts

Much education today is monumentally ineffective. All too often we are giving young people cut flowers when we should be teaching them to grow their own plants.

John W. Gardner

All I want is a gentleman. I'm sick to bloody death of bastards.

Katie Price

The virtues, like the Muses, are always seen in groups. A good principle was never found solitary in any breast.

Buddha

War is an instrument entirely inefficient toward redressing wrong and multiplies, instead of indemnifying losses.

Thomas Jefferson
