One soweth and another reapeth is a verity that applies to evil as well as good.

I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin, but by the content of their character.

Martin Luther King, Jr.

Guard against the impostures of pretended patriotism.

George Washington

Once a food becomes off-limits, then it takes on this whole other personality. 'Forbidden' is more tempting. And it becomes something evil, but food is food. It's there to nourish your body.

Valerie Bertinelli

God never gives someone a gift they are not capable of receiving. If he gives us the gift of Christmas, it is because we all have the ability to understand and receive it.

Pope Francis

The strongest love is the love that can demonstrate its fragility.

Paulo Coelho

It is amazing to think after all that has happened in this country in the last few years, the last few decades, that so many people have this blind faith that government is our friend and therefore, so we don't need protections against it.

James Bovard

If a cow walked into this room, I'd probably walk out. I could milk it, but my dad never forced me to do a lot of chores like that, mostly because he loved doing it himself.

Stuart Appleby

Come to me in the silence of the night, Come to me in the speaking silence of a dream.Come with soft rounded cheeks and eyes as bright as sunlight on a stream.Come back in tears,O memory, hope, love of finished years.

Christina Rossetti

In this world nothing is certain but death and taxes.

Benjamin Franklin

The universe contains any amount of horrible ways to be woken up, such as the noise of the mob breaking down the front door, the scream of fire engines, or the realization that today is the Monday which on Friday night was a comfortably long way off. A dog's wet nose is not strictly speaking the worst of the bunch, but it has it's own peculiar dreadfulness which connoisseurs of the ghastly and dog owners everywhere have come to know and dread. It's like having a small piece of defrosting liver pressed lovingly against you.

Terry Pratchett

One of the the things she most liked about the city -apart from all its obvious attractions, the theatre, the galleries, the exhilarating walks by the river- was that so few people ever asked you personal questions.

Julia Gregson

Live not by expectation, but by inspiration.

Louise Philippe Dulay
