My bounty is as boundless as the sea,My love as deep; the more I give to thee,The more I have, for both are infinite.

George Bernard Shaw

In private life I never knew anyone interfere with other people's disputes but he heartily repented of it.

This I choose to do. If there is a price, this I choose to pay. If it is my death, then I choose to die. Where this takes me, there I choose to go. I choose. This I choose to do.

Terry Pratchett

People will stare. Make it worth their while.

Harry Winston

The words of the world want to make sentences.
