How many a man has dated a new era in his life from the reading of a book! The book exists for us, perchance, that will explain our miracles and reveal new ones. The at present unutterable things we may find somewhere uttered.

We are more often frightened than hurt and we suffer more from imagination than from reality.

Lucius Annaeus Seneca

Never retract, never explain, never apologize; get things done and let them howl.

Nellie Mcclung

You will therefore send me none but Natives, and Men of some property, if you have them.

George Washington

Love and dignity cannot share the same abode.

Ovid

If they had said my writing wasn't good enough, fair enough, that's an opinion. But to say it's too complex is to insult the intelligence of the so-called young.

Tanith Lee

Indifference is harder to fight than hostility, and there is nothing that kills an agitation like having everybody admit that it is fundamentally right.

Crystal Eastman, "Time and Tide"

Piano playing is a dying art. I love the fact that I can be one guy with one instrument evoking an emotional and musical experience.

Jon Bon Jovi

Our happiness consists in sharing the happiness of God, the perfection of His unlimited freedom, the perfection of His love.

Thomas Merton

If you play it safe in life, you've decided that you don't want to grow anymore.

Shirley Hufstedler

Without out suffering, our work would just be social work, very good and helpful, but it would not be the work of Jesus Christ, not part of the Redemption. All the desolation of the poor people, not only their material poverty, but their spiritual destitution, must be redeemed. And we must share it, for only by being one with them can we redeem them by bringing God into their lives and bringing them to God.

Mother Theresa

Every woman is a rebel.

Oscar Wilde

You see, God helps only people who work hard. That principle is very clear.

A. P. J. Abdul Kalam
