Do not make the mistake of treating your dogs like humans or they will treat you like dogs.

Self-help must precede help from others. Even for making certain of help from heaven, one has to help oneself.

Moraji R. Desai, conference of n

Beauty, the splendour of truth, is a gracious presence when the imagination contemplates intensely the truth of its own being or the visible world, and the spirit which proceeds out of truth and beauty is the holy spirit of joy. These are realities and these alone give and sustain life.

James Joyce

My life motto is 'Do my best, so that I can't blame myself for anything.'

Magdalena Neuner

I have just received the following wire from my generous Daddy. It says, Dear Jack: Don't buy a single vote more than is necessary. I'll be damned if I am going to pay for a landslide.

John Fitzgerald Kennedy

As this body of knowledge has evolved, a much more critical job for researchers and scientists has evolved into explaining and educating policy makers and the public to the risks of global warming and the possible consequences of action or of no action.

John Olver

The pursuit of peace resembles the building of a great cathedral. It is the work of a generation. In concept it requires a master-architect; in execution, the labors of many.

Hubert Humphrey

An ambassador is an honest man sent abroad to lie and intrigue for the benefit of his country.

Henry Wotton

All good things are cheap: all bad are very dear.

Henry David Thoreau

My attitude is, if someone's going to criticize me, tell me to my face.

Seann William Scott

You can't make your kids do anything. All you can do is make them wish they had. And then, they will make you wish you hadn't made them wish they had.

Marshall B. Rosenberg

I love the word 'fantasy'... but I love it for the almost infinite room it gives an author to play: an infinite playroom, of a sort, in which the only boundaries are those of the imagination. I do not love it for the idea of commercial fantasy. Commercial fantasy, for good or for ill, tends to drag itself through already existing furrows, furrows dug by J. R. R. Tolkien or Robert E. Howard, leaving a world of stories behind it, excluding so much. There was so much fine fiction, fiction allowing free reign to the imagination of the author, beyond the shelves of genre. That was what we wanted to read.
