The main thing is the YOU beneath the clothes and skin--the ability to do, the will to conquer, the determination to understand and know this great, wonderful, curious world.

It is impossible to read the daily press without being diverted from reality. You are full of enthusiasm for the eternal verities-life is worth living, and then out of sinful curiosity you open a newspaper. You are disillusioned and wrecked.

Patrick Kavanaugh

Malcolm Muggeridge

Be not afraid of life. Believe that life IS worth living and your belief will help create the fact.

James Truslow Adams

They deceive themself and thus us; merchants and tycoons of the world. Evil has gone from bad to worse for a worthless reward.

James Dye

Fred Durst

The judge also has a truth he wants to hide: He often hasn't been completely candid in describing the facts or the law.

Alan Dershowitz

Dennis Bergkamp

Marriage is a risk I think it's a great and glorious risk, as long as you embark on the adventure in the same spirit.

Cate Blanchett

False and doubtful positions, relied upon as unquestionable maxims, keep those who build on them in the dark from truth. Such are usually the prejudices imbibed from education, party, reverence, fashion interest, et cetera.

John Locke

Loneliness and the feeling of being unwanted is the most terrible poverty.

Mother Theresa
