George Bernard Shaw

Self-respect is nothing to hide behind. When you need it most it isn't there.

Thomas Carlyle

In peace, Love tunes the shepherd's reed; In war, he mounts the warrior's steed; In halls, in gay attire is seen; In hamlets, dances on the green. Love rules the court, the camp, the grove, And men below, and saints above; For love is heaven, and heaven is love.

Walter Scott

Charles Dickens

An exact science is one that admits loss.
