People don't start wars, governments do.

Life will always be to a large extent what we ourselves make it.

Samuel Smiles

Complain and remain. Praise and be raised.

Joyce Meyer

When the strong box contains no more both friends and flatterers shun the door.

Plutarch

Love seeks no cause beyond itself and no fruit; it is its own fruit, its own enjoyment. I love because I love; I love in order that I may love.

St. Bernard

I cannot lead you into battle. I do not give you laws or administer justice but I can do something else - I can give my heart and my devotion to these old islands and to all the peoples of our brotherhood of nations.

Queen Elizabeth II

What people fear most about tragedy is its randomness - a taxi cab jumps the curb and hits a pedestrian, a gun misfires and kills a bystander.

Jeffrey Kluger

Yunus Emre

Gold will be slave or master.

Horace
