Man's loneliness is but his fear of life.

Wisdom is knowledge which has become a part of one's being.

Orison Swett Marden

Youth enters the world with very happy prejudices in her own favor. She imagines herself not only certain of accomplishing every adventure, but of obtaining those rewards which the accomplishment may deserve. She is not easily persuaded to believe that the force of merit can be resisted by obstinacy and avarice, or its luster darkened by envy and malignity.

Samuel Johnson

Smelling isn't everything said the Elephant. Why, said the Bulldog, if a fellow can't trust his nose, what is he to trust? Well, his brains perhaps, she replied mildly.

C.S. Lewis

It is a matter of perfect indifference where a thing originated; the only question is: Is it true in and for itself?

G. W. F. Hegel

If someone's dumb enough to offer me a million dollars to make a picture, I'm certainly not dumb enough to turn it down.

Elizabeth Taylor

It is very natural for young men to be vehement, acrimonious and severe. For as they seldom comprehend at once all the consequences of a position, or perceive the difficulties by which cooler and more experienced reasoners are restrained from confidence, they form their conclusions with great precipitance. Seeing nothing that can darken or embarrass the question, they expect to find their own opinion universally prevalent, and are inclined to impute uncertainty and hesitation to want of honesty, rather than of knowledge.

Samuel Johnson

What is wonderful about great literature is that it transforms the man who reads it towards the condition of the man who wrote.

E. M. Forster

Art attracts us only by what it reveals of our most secret self.

JeanLuc Godard

When one subtracts from life infancy (which is vegetation), sleep, eating and swilling, buttoning and unbuttoning -- how much remains of downright existence? The summer of a dormouse.

Lord (George Gordon) Byron

Under our form of government, the source of authority is supposed to be We the people. Not the slaves of a King. Our elected leaders are supposed to be public servants and not private masters.

James Dye

Jessica Simpson is the youth ambassador for Operation Smile, and an episode of The Apprentice featured a team managing a charity concert she put on. Donald Trump came on stage and pledged a donation.

Roma Downey

Long ago we conquered our passions looking at ourselves in the mirror of eternity.
