No martyr ever went the way of duty, and felt the shadow of death upon it. The shadow of death is darkest in the valley, which men walk in easily, and is never felt at all on a steep place, like Calvary. Truth is everlasting, and so is every lover of it; and so he feels himself almost always.

Do not share the knowledge with which you have been blessed with everyone in general, as you do with some people in particular and know that there are some men in whom Allah, may He he glorified, has placed hidden secrets, which they are forbidden to reveal.

Ali ibn Abi Talib

We've got to win this battle, and we will. We have to win the peace.

Al D'Amato

We have the best government that money can buy.

Mark Twain

Stephen King

Too much self-centered attitude, you see, brings, you see, isolation. Result: loneliness, fear, anger. The extreme self-centered attitude is the source of suffering.

Dalai Lama

He was the most ordinary man in all the world, and yet in her memory he'd become luminous, like the prince in a fairy tale.

Cheryl Strayed

I really don't think there is anybody in the business with better eyes than Elijah Wood.

Book-jacket design may become a lost art, like album-cover design, without which late-20th-century iconography would have been pauperized.

James Wolcott

If man had created man, he would be ashamed of his performance.

Mark Twain

A man with money is no match against a man on a mission.

Doyle Brunson

In my own life, I decided to leave meat off my plate in medical school, but was a bit slow to realise that dairy products and eggs are not health foods either.

Neal Barnard

Come in, Adam, and rest; it has been a hard day for thee.

George Eliot
