The New York playgoer is a child of nature, and he has an honest and wholesome regard of whatever is atrocious in art.

Psychologically I should say that a person becomes an adult at the point when he produces more than he consumes or earns more than he spends. This may be a the age of eighteen, twenty-five, or thirty-five. Some people remain unproductive and dependent children forever and therefore intellectually and emotionally immature.

Henry C. Link

I understand the damage the expenses crisis has done to Parliament, and the paramount importance of restoring trust in our politics.

George Osborne

Courage is almost a contradiction in terms. It means a strong desire to live taking the form of a readiness to die.

G. K. Chesterton

Our love is an old love, baby. It's older than all our years. I have seen in strange young eyes Familiar tears.

Paul Williams (songwriter)

People in north Michigan are not different at all from people in southern Alabama. Trust me, someone who's spent a lot of time in both places. They're all hardworking, simple people.

Kid Rock

Abortion isn't a lesser evil, it's a crime. Taking one life to save another, that's what the Mafia does. It's a crime. It's an absolute evil.

Pope Francis

No one can be an unbeliever nowadays. The Christian Apologists have left one nothing to disbelieve.

Hector Hugh Munro

Resolve to perform what you ought; perform without fail what you resolve.

Benjamin Franklin

Men are but children of a larger growth, Our appetites as apt to change as theirs, And full as craving too, and full as vain.

John Dryden

Man alone, during his brief existence on this earth, is free to examine, to know, to criticize, and to create. In this freedom lies his superiority over the forces that pervade his outward life. He is that unique organism in terms of matter and energy, space and time, which is urged to conscious purpose. Reason is his characteristic and indistinguishing principle. But man is only man -- and free -- when he considers himself as a total being in whom the unmediated whole of feeling and thought is not severed and who impugns any form of atomization as artificial, mischievous, and predatory.

Ruth Nanda Anshen

I think a lot of people think that my parents' deaths is why I write such sad songs, but that's not true. Those songs may just be the woman I am.

Shelby Lynne

Our doubts are traitors and make us lose the good we oft might win by fearing to attempt.

William Shakespeare
