It was one of God's jokes that such a dumb mind had been put in such an eloquent body.

If it is once again one against forty-eight, then I am very sorry for the forty-eight.

Margaret Thatcher

When angels speak of love they tell us it is only by loving that we enter an earthly paradise. They tell us paradise is our home and love our true destiny.

Bell Hooks

Man is always looking for someone to boast to; woman is always looking for a shoulder to put her head on.

H. L. Mencken

No man, proclaimed Donne , is an Island, and he was wrong. If we were not islands, we would be lost, drowned in each other's tragedies. We are insulated (a word that means, literally, remember, made into an island ) from the tragedy of others, by our island nature, and by the repetitive shape and form of the stories. The shape does not change: there was a human being who was born, lived, and then, by some means or another, died. There. You may fill in the details from your own experience. As unoriginal as any other tale, as unique as any other life. Lives are snowflakes-forming patterns we have seen before, as like one another as peas in a pod (and have you ever looked at peas in a pod? I mean, really looked at them? There's not a chance you'd mistake one for another, after a minute's close inspection), but still unique.

Neil Gaiman

We never get to love by hate, least of all by self-hatred.

Basil W. Maturin

Try to treat with equal love all the people with whom you have relations. Thus the abyss between 'myself' and 'yourself' will be filled in, which is the goal of all religious worship.

Sri Anandamayi Ma

Society has taught us to suppress certain things and not do certain things.

Kesha

Style is something very individual, very personal, and in their own unique way, I believe everyone is stylish.

Salman Khan

I'm not so think as you drunk I am.

John Squire

When a fellow tells me he's bipartisan, I know he's going to vote against me.

Harry S Truman

The circumstances amid which you life determine your reputation; the truth you believe determines your character. Reputation is what you are supposed to be; character is what you are. Reputation is the photograph; character is the face. Reputation comes over one from without; character grows up from within.Reputation is what you have when you come to a new community; character is what you have when you go away. Your reputation is learned in an hour; your character does not come to light for a year. Reputation is made in a moment; character is built in a lifetime. Reputation grows like a mushroom; character grows like the oak. A single newspaper report gives you your reputation; a life of toil gives you your character. Reputation makes you rich or makes you poor; character makes you happy or makes you miserable. Reputation is what men say about you on your tombstone; character is what angels say about you before the throne of God.

I've been to many funerals of funny people, and they're some of the funniest days you'll ever have, because the emotions run high.
