I am not much an advocate for traveling, and I observe that men run away to other countries because they are not good in their own, and run back to their own because they pass for nothing in the new places. For the most part, only the light characters travel. Who are you that have no task to keep you at home?

The wisest use of American strength is to advance freedom.

George W. Bush

I can't go to war with paparazzi.

Daniel Craig

It is a serious thing to live in a society of possible gods and goddesses, to remember that the dullest most uninteresting person you talk to may one day be a creature which,if you say it now, you would be strongly tempted to worship, or else a horror and a corruption such as you now meet, if at all, only in a nightmare. All day long we are, in some degree helping each other to one or the other of these destinations. It is in the light of these overwhelming possibilites, it is with the awe and the circumspection proper to them, that we should conduct all of our dealings with one another, all friendships, all loves, all play, all politics. There are no ordinary people. You have never talked to a mere mortal. nations, cultures, arts, civilizations - These are mortal, and their life is to ours as the life of a gnat. But it is immortals whom we joke with, work with, marry, snub, and exploit - immortal horrors or everlasting splendors.

C.S. Lewis

We cannot know the whole truth, which belongs to God alone, but our task nevertheless is to seek to know what is true. And if we offend gravely enough against what we know to be true, as by failing badly enough to deal affectionately and responsibly with our land and our neighbors, truth will retaliate with ugliness, poverty, and disease.

Wendell Berry

A small house must depend on its grouping with other houses for its beauty, and for the preservation of light air and the maximum of surrounding open space.

Clarence Stein

You should not say it is not good. You should say you do not like it; and then, you know, you're perfectly safe.

James Mcneill Whistler

I invent nothing, I rediscover.

Auguste Rodin

We do not yet possess ourselves, and we know at the same time that we are much more.

Ralph Waldo Emerson

The world is full of people who never quite get into the first team and who just miss the prizes at the flower show.

Jacob Bronowski

Example has more followers than reason. We unconsciously imitate what pleases us, and approximate to the characters we most admire.

Christian Nevell Bovee

Cats don't hunt seals. They would if they knew what they were and where to find them. But they don't, so that's all right.

Terry Pratchett

Challenging the integrity of the non-proliferation regime is a matter which can affect international peace and security.
