We need to know ourselves better so that we can realize what we really want in our life. I think that the first condition for a person to be in a successful relationship is to be happy with the person he or she is, in other words to love themselves.

One may smile, and smile, and be a villain.

William Shakespeare

Having never been in control of his own life, his idea of freedom was simply to break free.

Orson Scott Card

We must realize that growth is but an adolescent phase of life which stops when physical maturity is reached. If growth continues in the period of maturity it is called obesity or cancer. Prescribing growth as the cure for the energy crisis has all the logic of prescribing increasing quantities of food as a remedy for obesity.

Albert A. Bartlett

Time is too slow for those who wait, too swift for those who fear, too long for those who grieve, too short for those who rejoice, but for those who love, time is eternity.

Henry Van Dyke

We love a good, hyped sound, but when it starts to sound insincere, that's when I lose interest. I hope that our music, even if it sounds polished, doesn't sound insincere.

Nate Ruess

Our religion is itself profoundly sad -- a religion of universal anguish, and one which, because of its very catholicity, grants full liberty to the individual and asks no better than to be celebrated in each man's own language -- so long as he knows anguish and is a painter.

Charles Baudelaire

Love can do much, but duty more.

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

The fear of death follows from the fear of life. A man who lives fully is prepared to die at any time.

Mark Twain

I know that I am intelligent, because I know that I know nothing.

Socrates

His wit and irony - particularly when he uses them to condemn superstition - are inimitable

Bertrand Russell

A dreamer is one who can only find his way by moonlight, and his punishment is that he sees the dawn before the rest of the world.

Oscar Wilde

He that lives upon hope will die fasting.

Benjamin Franklin
