Negligence is the rust of the soul, that corrodes through all her best resolves.

It is impossible for a man to be cheated by anyone but himself.

Ralph Waldo Emerson

Furthermore, we believe that health care reform, again I said at the beginning of my remarks, that we sent the three pillars that the President's economic stabilization and job creation initiatives were education and innovation - innovation begins in the classroom - clean energy and climate, addressing the climate issues in an innovative way to keep us number one and competitive in the world with the new technology, and the third, first among equals I may say, is health care, health insurance reform.

Nancy Pelosi

I stopped loving my father a long time ago. What remained was the slavery to a pattern.

Anais Nin

Scientists at MIT and engineering schools all across America say that they could improve the fuel economy standards for the existing set of vehicles by 10 miles per gallon using existing technology, without compromising safety or comfort at all.

Ed Markey

The apparent multiplication of gods is bewildering at the first glance, but you soon discover that they are the same GOD. There is always one uttermost God who defies personification. This makes Hinduism the most tolerant religion in the world, because its one transcendent God includes all possible gods. In fact Hinduism is so elastic and so subtle that the most profound Methodist, and crudest idolater, are equally at home with it.

George Bernard Shaw

What if I'm so broken I can never do something as basic as feed myself? Do you realize how twisted that is? It amazes me sometimes that humans still exist. We're just animals, after all. And how can an animal get so removed from nature that it loses the instinct to keep itself alive?

Amy Reed

Whether you believe you can do a thing or not, you are right.

Henry Ford

I'm doing my best to raise my son and give him a nurturing, loving, and caring environment so he can grow up and be the best version of himself.

Miranda Kerr

Witticisms please as long as we keep them within boundaries, but pushed to excess they cause offense.

Phaedrus

To die for one's country is such a worthy fate that all compete for so beautiful a death.

Pierre Corneille

Alcohol is the anesthesia by which we endure the operation of life.

George Bernard Shaw

Life...is not simply a series of exciting new ventures. The future is not always a whole new ball game. There tends to be unfinished business. One trails all sorts of things around with one, things that simply won't be got rid of.

Anita Brookner, Lewis Percy, ch.
