I never have planned a whole lot of future. It's one day at a time.

Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former.

Albert Einstein

Youth does not require reasons for living, it only needs pretexts.

Jos

The slight that can be conveyed in a glance, in a gracious smile, in a wave of the hand, is often the knee plus ultra of art. What insult is so keen or so keenly felt, as the polite insult which it is impossible to resent?

Julia Kavanagh

I am standing upon the seashore. A ship at my side spreads her white sails to the morning breeze and starts for the blue ocean. She is an object of beauty and strength, and I stand and watch until at last she hangs like a speck of white cloud just where the sea and sky come down to mingle with each other. Then someone at my side says, 'There she goes!' Gone where? Gone from my sight ... that is all. She is just as large in mast and hull and spar as she was when she left my side and just as able to bear her load of living freight to the place of destination. Her diminished size is in me, not in her. And just at the moment when someone at my side says, 'There she goes!' there are other eyes watching her coming and their voices ready to take up the glad shouts 'Here she comes!'

Henry Van Dyke, A Parable of Imm

If people in the media cannot decide whether they are in the business of reporting news or manufacturing propaganda, it is all the more important that the public understand that difference, and choose their news sources accordingly.

Thomas Sowell

If there was no faith there would be no living in this world. We could not even eat hash with any safety.

Josh Billings

One man scorned and covered with scars still strove with his last ounce of courage to reach the unreachable stars and the world will be better for this.

Miguel de Cervantes

But language is wine upon his lips

Virginia Woolf

I don't think of death in a romantic way anymore.

Robert Smith

In the first 50 years of the filibuster, it was used only 35 times. But the last Congress alone had 112 cloture motions filed, plus threats of more. This is the tyranny of the minority.

Peter Fenn

Educational equality doesn't guarantee equality on the labor market. Even the most developed countries are not gender-equal. There are still glass ceilings and 'leaky pipelines' that prevent women from getting ahead in the workplace.

Michelle Bachelet

I get weary of reading about rebirths because we're all growing all the time and it diminishes the life you've lived if you say 'I'm a new person.
