Material possessions, winning scores, and great reputations are meaningless in the eyes of the Lord, because He knows what we really are and that is all that matters.

Of life's two chief prizes, beauty and truth, I found the first in a loving heart and the second in a laborer's hand.

Khalil Gibran

We work in the dark - we do what we can - we give what we have. Our doubt is our passion and our passion is our task. The rest is the madness of art.

Henry James

I became a firefighter because I wanted to save people. But I should have been more specific. I should have named names.

Jodi Picoult

Genius or jock, it didn't seem to matter. Boys were born with a gene that kept girls, no matter how smart they might be, from understanding them.

Charity Tahmaseb

Love and a cough cannot be hid.

George Herbert

Quite a nasty piece of work. Not the sort of person you'd want to have dinner with. On the subject of Mr. Bean

Rowan Atkinson

Marriage may be the closest thing to Heaven or Hell any of us will know on this earth.

Edwin Louis Cole

Feelings of worth can flourish only in an atmosphere where individual differences are appreciated, mistakes are tolerated, communication is open, and rules are flexible - the kind of atmosphere that is found in a nurturing family.

Virginia Satir

Was there ever a trap to match the trap of love?

Stephen King

Sailing round the world in a dirty gondola oh, to be back in the land of Coca-Cola!

Bob Dylan

I confidently predict the collapse of capitalism and the beginning of history. Something will go wrong in the machinery that converts money into money, the banking system will collapse totally, and we will be left having to barter to stay alive. Those who can dig in their garden will have a better chance than the rest. I'll be all right; I've got a few veg.

Margaret Drabble

We've climbed the mighty mountain. I see the valley below, and it's a valley of peace.

George W. Bush
