One thought fills immensity.

Man is the only animal that learns by being hypocritical. He pretends to be polite and then, eventually, he becomes polite.

Jean Kerr

We love ourselves notwithstanding our faults, and we ought to love our friends in like manner.

Cyrus the Great

Modern cosmetic surgeons have a direct financial interest in a social role for women that requires them to feel ugly. They do not simply advertise for a share of a market that already exists: Their advertisements create new markets. It is a boom industry because it is influentially placed to create its own demand through the pairing of text with ads in women's magazines. The industry takes out ads and gets coverage; women get cut open. They pay their money and they takes their chances. As surgeons grow richer, they are able to command larger and brighter ad spaces.

Naomi Wolf

I am proud to represent these men and women who empower people in developing nations and promote the Peace Corps mission of peace and friendship. These volunteers are making major strides to improve the lives of people and communities around the world.

Kenny Marchant

The strength and power of despotism consists wholly in the fear of resistance.

Thomas Paine

I have a really amazing fan club, it's contemporary but it's a little bit old school. There's a lot of connection. I have a fan club president who really responds to people.

Martina McBride

I'm pretty good at gardening. It consumes my time, and it feels like I'm doing something constructive.

Simon Baker

The price of apathy towards public affairs is to be ruled by evil men.

Plato

Criticism is a misconception: we must read not to understand others but to understand ourselves.

E. M. Cioran

She felt the loss of Willoughby's character yet more heavily than she had felt the loss of his heart.

Jane Austen

By the sweet power of music: therefore the poet did feign that Orpheus drew trees, stones and floods; since nought so stockish, hard and full of rage, but music for the time doth change his nature. The man that hath no music in himself, nor is not moved with concord of sweet sounds, is fit for treasons, stratagems and spoils; The motions of his spirit are dull as night and his affections dark as Erebus: Let no such man be trusted. Mark the music.

William Shakespeare

Gratitude bestows reverence, allowing us to encounter everyday epiphanies, those transcendent moments of awe that change forever how we experience life and the world.

John Milton
