The opposite of love is not to hate but to separate. If love and hate have something in common it is because, in both cases, their energy is that of bringing and holding together

As told in Friendship with God, if we simply decided to believe and act as if first, we're all one, and second, life is eternal, it would render virtually everything we've done all our lives pointless.

Neale Donald Walsch

The person determined to achieve maximum success learns the principle that progress is made one step at a time. A house is built one brick at a time. Football games are won a play at a time. A department store grows bigger one customer at a time. Every big accomplishment is a series of little accomplishments.

Dr. David Schwartz

Any man who reads too much and uses his own brain too little falls into lazy habits of thinking.

Albert Einstein

twice I have lived forever in a smile

E.E. Cummings

With your talents and industry, with science, and that stedfast honesty which eternally pursues right, regardless of consequences, you may promise yourself every thingbut health, without which there is no happiness. An attention to health then should take place of every other object. The time necessary to secure this by active exercises, should be devoted to it in preference to every other pursuit.

Thomas Jefferson

Success is relative. It is what we can make of the mess we have made of things.

TS (Thomas Stearns) Eliot

Life is sobs, sniffles, and smiles, with sniffles predominating.

Ogden Nash

A good leader can engage in a debate frankly and thoroughly, knowing that at the end he and the other side must be closer, and thus emerge stronger. You don't have that idea when you are arrogant, superficial, and uninformed.

Nelson Mandela

Sex is metaphysical for men, as it is not for women. Women have no problem to solve through sex. Physically and psychologically, they are serenely self-contained. They may choose to achieve, but they do not need it. They are not thrust into the beyond by their own fractious bodies. But men are out of balance; they must quest, pursue, court, or seize.... How often one spots a male pigeon making desperate, self-inflating sallies toward the female, as again and again she turns her back on him and nonchalantly marches away. But by concentration and insistence he may carry the day. Nature has blessed him with an obliviousness to his own absurdity.

Camille Anna Paglia, Sexual Pers

At school I was very shy. I wasn't funny really.

Michel Gondry

The thinner the ice, the more anxious is everyone to see whether it will bear.

Josh Billings

The ideals which have always shone before me and filled me with joy are goodness, beauty, and truth.

Albert Einstein
