No nation was ever ruined by trade.

I have never found a companion that was so companionable as solitude.

Here and here only in all time the myth must have become fact; the Word, flesh; God, Man. This is not 'a religion', nor 'a philosophy.' It is the summing up and actuality of them all.

C.S. Lewis

I stand for limited government, fiscal responsibility, personal freedom, personal responsibility, so the Republican Party will support me.

Rick Scott

He was with me, beside me, inside me, and I did not care that my children were asleep, alone at home, or that the neighbors might come to know. He burned the fear out of me until all was left was desire.

Ru Freeman

I believe that he was really sorry that people would not believe he was sorry that he was not more sorry.

Samuel Butler

A truth spoken before its time is dangerous.

Proverb

His heart danced upon her movements like a cork upon a tide. He heard what her eyes said to him from beneath their cowl and knew that in some dim past, whether in life or revery, he had heard their tale before.

James Joyce

I have designed the most buildings of any living American architect.
