We may enjoy our room in the tower, with the painted walls and the commodious bookcases, but down in the garden there is a man digging who buried his father this morning, and it is he and his like who live the real life and speak the real language.

I think I could be a good woman if I had five thousand a year.

Becky Sharp

Liberty has never come from Government. Liberty has always come from the subjects of it. The history of liberty is a history of limitations of governmental power, not the increase of it.

Woodrow Wilson

I always envisioned myself being a rapper and being in the game and having success, but you never know what it feels like or how you're going to be when you're there.

Wiz Khalifa

I once feared death. It is said that death begins with the absence of life. And life begins when death is no longer feared. I have stared death in the eye and survived.

Cheryl Kaye Tardif

Remember there's no such thing as a small act of kindness. Every act creates a ripple with no logical end.

Scott Adams

I think the discomfort that some people feel in going to the monkey cages at the zoo is a warning sign.

Carl Sagan

Pay mind to your own life, your own health, and wholeness. A bleeding heart is of no help to anyone if it bleeds to death.

Frederick Buechner

When Death to either shall come -- I pray it be first to me.

Robert Bridges

For the past several years, I have remained what others would consider underground.

Lauryn Hill

Tell no man anything, for no man listensYet hold thy lips ready to speak.

Carl Sandburg

Simplicity of life, even the barest, is not a misery, but the very foundation of refinement; a sanded floor and whitewashed walls and the green trees, and flowery meads, and living waters outside; or a grimy palace amid the same with a regiment of housemaids always working to smear the dirt together so that it may be unnoticed; which, think you, is the most refined, the most fit for a gentleman of those two dwellings?

William Morris
