Frederic Bastiat

Juno Temple

The priestess of Artemis took hold of her almost with the violence of a lover, and whisked her away into a languid ecstasy of reverie.

Samuel Johnson

It was the passions about whose origin we deceived ourselves that tyrannized most strongly over us. Our weakest motives were those of whose nature we were conscious. It often happened that when we thought we were experimenting on others we were really experimenting on ourselves.

Oscar Wilde

None knows the weight of another's burden.

George Herbert

How much of human life is lost in waiting.

Ralph Waldo Emerson
