People are what you make them. A scornful look turns into a complete fool a man of average intelligence. A contemptuous indifference turns into an enemy a woman who, well treated, might have been an angel.

The truth must dazzle gradually or every man be blind.

Emily Dickinson

I am not the born how can there be either birth or death for me?

Guru Nanak

If all the economists were laid end to end, they would not reach a conclusion.

George Bernard Shaw

If you love somebody, let them go. If they return, they were always yours. If they don't, they never were.

Anon.

Riches are chiefly good because they give us time.

Charles Lamb

Your pain is the breaking of the shell that encloses your understanding.Even as the stone of the fruit must break, that its heart may stand in the sun, so must you know pain.Much of your pain is self-chosen.It is the bitter potion by which the physician within you heals your sick self.Therefore trust the physician, and drink his remedy in silence and tranquillity:For his hand, though heavy and hard, is guided by the tender hand of the Unseen,And the cup he brings, though it burn your lips, has been fashioned of the clay which the Potter has moistened with His own sacred tears.

Kahlil Gibran

It is wonderful how much time good people spend fighting the devil. If they would only expend the same amount of energy loving their fellow men, the devil would die in his own tracks of ennui.

Helen Keller

Slavery is an institution for converting men into monkeys.

Ralph Waldo Emerson

To a Christian, Easter Sunday means everything, when we celebrate the resurrection of Jesus Christ.

Bernhard Langer

Mom was 50 when my Dad died. She got on a bus every weekday for years, and rode 40 miles each morning to Madison. She earned a new degree and learned new skills to start her small business. It wasn't just a new livelihood. It was a new life.

Paul Ryan

Thirty was so strange for me. I've really had to come to terms with the fact that I am now a walking and talking adult. Reflecting on his former status as a teen idol

Matt Dillon

I used to write things for friends. There was this girl I had a crush on, and she had a teacher she didn't like at school. I had a real crush on her, so almost every day I would write her a little short story where she would kill him in a different way.
