If the money we donate helps one child or can ease the pain of one parent, those funds are well spent.

Welcome evermore to gods and men is the self-helping man. For him all doors are flung wide: him all tongues greet, all honors crown, all eyes follow with desire. Our love goes out to him and embraces him, because he did not need it. We solicitously and apologetically caress and celebrate him, because he held on his way and scorned our disapprobation. The gods loved him because men hated him.

Republican patience with how unionism deals with the political institutions, and with key issues like equality and human rights, will be tested because, obviously, there will be a battle a day on these matters. So lets face up to all of this with our eyes wide open.

Gerry Adams

Being a good mother, it seemed to me, meant you ran the risk of losing your child.

Jodi Picoult

The belief that the world was created yesterday seems to hold great appeal to those born at that time.

Gary Malone

Woman is the dominant sex. Men have to do all sorts of stuff to prove that they are worthy of woman's attention.
