Other nations of different habits are not enemies: they are godsends. Men require of their neighbours something sufficiently akin to be understood, something sufficiently different to provoke attention, and something great enough to command admiration. We must not expect, however, all the virtues.

Freedom from care and anxiety of mind is a blessing, which I apprehend such people enjoy in higher perfection than most others, and is of the utmost consequence.

William Falconer

Rap is poetry set to music. But to me it's like a jackhammer.

Bette Midler

From the errors of others, a wise man corrects his own.

Publilius Syrus

I don't dare postulate about science, but I know that it takes both emotion and intellect in order for art to happen.

Lukas Foss

I would give all the wealth of the world, and all the deeds of all the heroes, for one true vision.

Henry David Thoreau

We must not think, Well, we have all the truth, we understand the main pillars of our faith, and we may rest on this knowledge. The truth is an advancing truth, and we must walk in the increasing light.

Ellen G. White

I shopped at J. Crew in high school, I studied computer science. I was a nerd-nerd, now I'm a music-nerd.

Mayer Hawthorne

Swear to me swear to me that if it isn't dead you'll all come back.

Stephen King

I want to see the king. Wonderful. I'm glad for you. Why are you so glad? Because it's good for every human being to have an unfulfilled wish. It makes all of life so poignant.

Orson Scott Card

But in the end, in the end one is alone. We are all of us alone. I mean I'm told these days we have to consider ourselves as being in society... but in the end one knows one is alone, that one lives at the heart of a solitude.

Harold Bloom

I'm not the best audience for that because I'm not a great science-fiction fan. I just never got off on space ships and space costumes, things like that.

Gary Oldman

I try to speak in everyday language. I feel like God has gifted me to take Bible principles and make them practical.

Joel Osteen
