Mother Nature doesn't care if you're having fun.

From the moment of birth, when the stone-age baby confronts the twentieth-century mother, the baby is subjected to these forces of violence, called love, as its mother and father have been, and their parents and their parents before them. These forces are mainly concerned with destroying most of its potentialities. This enterprise is on the whole successful.

R. D. Laing

Don't seek love externally, it's fleeting. Go beyond the ego and awaken thelove that already exists within; it will encompass everyone andeverything in your life; it will permeate your very being.

Danielle Pierre

Cruelty, like every other vice, requires no motive outside of itself; it only requires opportunity.

George Eliot

Politics are almost as exciting as war, and quite as dangerous. In war you can only be killed once, but in politics many times.

Sir Winston Churchill

One of the tests of leadership is the ability to recognize a problem before it becomes an emergency.

Arnold Glasgow

To me, anyone with an Australian accent wielding a tennis racket is cool.

Adrian Smith

A full belly is little worth where the mind is starved.

Mark Twain

Men and women who know the brutal reality of war, who know that war strips people of their very humanity, must unite in a new global partnership for peace.

Daisaku Ikeda

In the beauty of the lilies Christ was born across the sea, With a glory in his bosom that transfigures you and me: As he died to make men holy, let us die to make men free, While God is marching on.

Julia Ward Howe

On Memorial Day, I don't want to only remember the combatants. There were also those who came out of the trenches as writers and poets, who started preaching peace, men and women who have made this world a kinder place to live.

Eric Burdon

I am sure of nothing so little as my own intentions.

Lord (George Gordon) Byron

I hate most of what constitutes rock music, which is basically middle-aged crap.

Sting
