People who bite the hand that feeds them usually lick the boot that kicks them.

Justice and truth are too such subtle points that our tools are too blunt to touch them accurately.

Blaise Pascal

England is my home. London is my home. New York feels like, if I have to spend a year living in an unfamiliar city, this is a pretty lovely one to spend a year in, but I will be going home at the end of it, certainly.

Daniel Radcliffe

Ralph J. Cudworth

Politics is war without bloodshed while war is politics with bloodshed.

Mao Zedong

A man can only attain knowledge with the help of those who possess it. This must be understood from the very beginning. One must learn from him who knows.

George Gurdjieff

Henry Vaughan

If you think you can - you can!

Ronald Reagan

You ask whether I have ever been in love: fool as I am, I am not such a fool as that. But if one is only to talk from first-hand experience, conversation would be a very poor business. But though I have no personal experience of the things they call love, I have what is better -- the experience of Sappho, of Euripides, of Catallus, of Shakespeare, of Spenser, of Austen, of Bronte, of anyone else I have read.

C.S. Lewis

The Stones, I love the Stones. I watch them whenever I can. Fred, Barney...

Steven Wright

A police force, wherever they are, is made up of amazing people, and I respect them a great deal.

Nancy McKeon

A house is not a home unless it contains food and fire for the mind as well as the body.

Benjamin Franklin

Poetry should help, not only to refine the language of the time, but to prevent it from changing too rapidly.

T. S. Eliot
