Nothing so cements and holds together all the parts of a society as faith or credit, which can never be kept up unless men are under some force or necessity of honestly paying what they owe to one another.

I did learn that it was the greatest thing in the world to respect yourself. Respect other people.

Little Milton

Those things that are dearest to us have cost us the most.

Michel de Montaigne

Every child should have a caring adult in their lives. And that's not always a biological parent or family member. It may be a friend or neighbor. Often times it is a teacher.

Joe Manchin

I think that the problem is that people fear so many things and they don't live life to its fullest. And for me as an artist, if God should want me to come this Wednesday to the end of my life, so be it.

Criss Angel

The phrase 'off with the crack of the bat', while romantic, is really meaningless, since the outfielder should be in motion long before he hears the sound of the ball meeting the bat.

Joe DiMaggio

Come near, that no more blinded by man's fate, I find under the boughs of love and hate, In all poor foolish things that live a day, Eternal beauty wandering on her way.

William Butler Yeats

But I'm very thankful that no one is slamming my head against the wall anymore.

Harry Anderson

Feelings are like chemicals, the more you analyze them the worse they smell.

Charles Kingsley

We had not yet penetrated to the mother principle, that governments are republican only in proportion as they embody the will of their people, and execute it. Hence, our first constitutions had really no leading principles in them. But experience and reflection have but more and more confirmed me in the particular importance of the equal representation then proposed.

Thomas Jefferson

The Universe is one great kindergarten for man. Everything that exists has brought with it its own peculiar lesson.

Orison Swett Marden

The most common lie is that which one lies to himself; lying to others is relatively an exception.

Friedrich Nietzsche
