Some people are always grumbling because roses have thorns I am thankful that thorns have roses.

If you accept people for what they are, they will become worse. Treat them like they should be, and they will become better.

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

She was full of some strange energy that morning. Her every movement had purpose and life and she seemed to find satisfaction in every little thing.

Anna Godbersen

I have never agreed to the word of creative activity. Man does not create. In the best case, he interprets, in a good or bad way; in the worst case, he manipulates, cheats and causes confusion; like in all the walks of life, in art as well...

Sadik Kaceli

I'd definitely be the kind of parent who enabled my child's dreams. I'd just watch and nurture and guide them. I have the blueprints of what not to do... I think I'd be a good parent, actually.

Drew Barrymore

What made losing someone you loved bearable was not remembering but forgetting. Forgetting small things first... it's amazing how much you could forget, and everything you forgot made that person less alive inside you until you could finally endure it. After more time passed you could let yourself remember, even want to remember. But even then what you felt those first days could return and remind you the grief was still there, like old barbed wire embedded in a tree's heartwood.

Ron Rash

So long as you are praised think only that you are not yet on your own path but on that of another.

Friedrich Nietzsche

Society is always taken by surprise at any new example of common sense.

Ralph Waldo Emerson

I am convinced that He (God) does not play dice.

Albert Einstein

The interesting thing is, while we die of diseases of affluence from eating all these fatty meats, our poor brethren in the developing world die of diseases of poverty, because the land is not used now to grow food grain for their families.

Jeremy Rifkin

I'm not a combative person. My long experience has taught me to resolve conflict by raising the issues before I or others burn their boats.

Alistair Grant

A hero is an ordinary individual who finds the strength to persevere and endure in spite of overwhelming obstacles.

Christopher Reeve

A man's reputation is what other people think of him; his character is what he really is.
