What more does man want to know than that the hand or power that made these things is divine, is omnipotent? Let him believe this with the force it is impossible to repel, if he permits his reason to act, and his rule of moral life will follow of course.

Many a man curses the rain that falls upon his head, and knows not that it brings abundance to drive away the hunger.

Ralph Waldo Emerson

True love doesn't happen right away; it's an ever-growing process. It develops after you've gone through many ups and downs, when you've suffered together, cried together, laughed together.

Ricardo Montalban

Tamed as it may be, sexuality remains one of the demonic forces in human consciousness -- pushing us at intervals close to taboo and dangerous desires, which range from the impulse to commit sudden arbitrary violence upon another person to the voluptuous yearning for the extinction of one's consciousness, for death itself.

George Bernard Shaw

Gianni Versace

Joy, rather than happiness, is the goal of life, for joy is the emotion which accompanies our fulfilling our natures as human beings. It is based on the experience of one's identity as a being of worth and dignity.

Rollo May

The right combination is between a free economy and social policy that addresses the needs of society and creates equal opportunity.

Benjamin Netanyahu

I want, by understanding myself, to understand others. I want to be all that I am capable of becoming.

Katherine Mansfield
