Marriage must incessantly contend with a monster that devours everything: familiarity.

That devilish Iron Horse, whose ear-rending neigh is heard throughout the town, has muddied the Boiling Spring with his foot, and he it is that has browsed off all the woods on Walden shore, that Trojan horse, with a thousand men in his belly, introduced by mercenary Greeks! Where is the country's champion, the Moore of Moore Hall, to meet him at the Deep Cut and thrust an avenging lance between the ribs of the bloated pest?

Henry David Thoreau

Wisdom is meaningless until our own experience has given it meaning.

Bergen Evans

Ignorance is never better than knowledge.

Enrico Fermi

The garden, by design, is concerned with both the interior and the land beyond the garden.

Stephen Gardiner

The message of transformation and how we all can live from our heart, not just from our head, was a very important message for me to learn in my own life.

Judith Light

We believe in government involvement that leads to independence: good schools, quality roads and the best health care.

Rick Perry

It is better, then, to save the work while it is begun. You have done the labor; maintain itkeep it. If men choose to serve you, go with them; but as you have made up your organization upon principle, stand by it; for, as surely as God reigns over you, and has inspired your mind, and given you a sense of propriety, and continues to give you hope, so surely will you still cling to these ideas, and you will at last come back after your wanderings, merely to do your work over again.

Abraham Lincoln

I love that quiet time when nobody's up and the animals are all happy to see me.

Olivia Newton-John

I'm up here in Cleveland tonight and there are a lot of folks who are concerned about it. Twenty-five percent of the people up here get their health care through religious organizations and so that religious freedom issue is very important to them.

Rob Portman

The only reason to be in politics is public service. There's no other reason. Frankly, if that's the best job you can get in terms of money, that's too bad, you know. Because frankly, it's not well paid, everyone knows that. So for most people it's a big sacrifice.

Malcolm Turnbull

The establishment wonders why we can't get more of the black vote. It's because it's not doing the things necessary to establish a deeper relationship with the black community. Most black people don't think alike. Most black people just vote alike.

J. C. Watts

Mathematics, rightly viewed, posses not only truth, but supreme beauty a beauty cold and austere, like that of sculpture.

Bertrand Russell
