Men never moan over the opportunities lost to do good, only the opportunities to be bad.

The love of justice is simply in the majority of men the fear of suffering injustice.

Francois de La Rochefoucauld

No matter how old we become, we can still call them 'Holy Mother' and 'Father' and put a child-like trust in them.

Desmond Morris

You must know that in any moment a decision you make can change the course of your life forever: the very next person stand behind in line or sit next to on an airplane, the very next phone call you make or receive, the very next movie you see or book you read or page you turn could be the one single thing that causes the floodgates to open, and all of the things that you've been waiting for to fall into place.

Anthony Robbins

If it were possible to talk to the unborn, one could never explain to them how it feels to be alive, for life is washed in the speechless real

Jacques Barzun

The difference between a man of sense and a fop is that the fop values himself upon his dress; and the man of sense laughs at it, at the same time he knows he must not neglect it.

Lord Chesterfield

Some cause happiness wherever they go; others whenever they go.

Oscar Wilde

Sensual pleasures have the fleeting brilliance of a comet; a happy marriage has the tranquillity of a lovely sunset.

Ann Landers

Dancing is a perpendicular expression of a horizontal desire.

George Bernard Shaw

To die hating them, that was freedom.

George Orwell

After all, God is God because he remembers.

Elie Wiesel

Nothing else so destroys the power to stand alone as the habit of leaning upon others. If you lean, you will never be strong or original. Stand alone or bury your ambition to be somebody in the world.

Orison Swett Marden

With children use force with men reason; such is the natural order of things. The wise man requires no law.

Jean Jacques Rousseau
