She had loved him for such a long time, she thought. How was it that she did now know him at all?

Football, basketball, and the Olympic sports all have their problems with banned substances.

Having your fiscal house in order and having a more manageable macro-economic future is going to be very useful in creating growth.

Fareed Zakaria

The figure a poem makes. It begins in delight and ends in wisdom... in a clarification of life - not necessarily a great clarification, such as sects and cults are founded on, but in a momentary stay against confusion.

Robert Frost

And then it was the kind of dark your eyes never adjust to.

John Green

There is no beautifier of complexion, or form, or behavior, like the wish to scatter joy and not pain around us.

Ralph Waldo Emerson

There is no reason to suppose that the world had a beginning at all. The idea that things must have a beginning is really due to the poverty of our thoughts.

Bertrand Russell

Success is the ability to go from one failure to another with no loss of enthusiasm.

Sir Winston Churchill

Too much sanity may be madness and the maddest of all, to see life as it is and not as it should be.

Miguel de Cervantes

Soap and education are not as sudden as a massacre, but they are more deadly in the long run.

Mark Twain

When a small child, I thought that success spelled happiness. I was wrong, happiness is like a butterfly which appears and delights us for one brief moment, but soon flits away.

Anna Pavlova

[Re: Rom 10:2] It is commonly said: The intention is good, and the purpose is true, but the means are misused. The goal which they seek is correct; but the way is wrong by which they endeavor to reach the goal. They want to go east and instead they are going west. The arrogant zeal of good intentions does the same today. The Apostle expresses himself very mildly when he says not according to knowledge. He wishes this to be understood in the sense that they set about with blind zeal, unwise urgency, and foolish purpose. That is the greatest danger; and it should serve us as an example that we may speak of the faults of the neighbor with mildness.

Martin Luther King Jr.
