Mom and Dad were married 64 years. And if you wondered what their secret was, you could have asked the local florist - because every day Dad gave Mom a rose, which he put on her bedside table. That's how she found out what happened on the day my father died - she went looking for him because that morning, there was no rose.

I have a notion that gamblers are as happy as most people, being always excited; women, wine, fame, the table, even ambition, sate now and then, but every turn of the card and cast of the dice keeps the gambler alive -- besides one can game ten times longer than one can do any thing else.

Lord (George Gordon) Byron

Buying is cheaper than asking.

Proverb

I don't think there is such a thing as being too raunchy when it comes to the art form of burlesque.

Christina Aguilera

The very definition of 'beauty' is outside.

Adam Carolla

The real sin against life is to abuse and destroy beauty, even one's own --even more, one's own, for that has been put in our care and we are responsible for its well-being.

Katherine Anne Porter

It may be a procession of faithful failures that enriches the soil of godly success. Faithful actions are not religious acts. They are not even necessary actions undertaken by people of faith. Faithful actions, whether they are marked by success or they end in failure, are actions that are compelled by goodness.

Desmond Tutu

All criminals turn preachers under the gallows.

Proverb

Fashion is a tyrant from which there is no deliverance; all must conform to its whimsical.

Proverb

Business practices and how we treat the planet are also in desperate need of re-humanization.

Simon Mainwaring

When prayer removes distrust and doubt and enters the field of mental certainty, it becomes faith and the universe is built on faith.

Ernest Holmes

We're getting so pulled in by computers and technology, and our kids have their face in the computers all day. The human relationship is being diminished by this.

Lenny Kravitz

And for all I can tell, the only difference is that what many see we call a real thing, and what only one sees we call a dream. But things that many see may have no taste or moment in them at all, and things that are shown only to one may be spears and water-spouts of truth from the very depth of truth.

C.S. Lewis
