We, the People, recognize that we have responsibilities as well as rights that our destinies are bound together that a freedom which only asks what's in it for me, a freedom without a commitment to others, a freedom without love or charity or duty or patriotism, is unworthy of our founding ideals, and those who died in their defense.

In every man, there is a child. In every woman, there is a mother.

Santosh Kalwar

I learned regret in the ruins of Tarbfhlaith. I regretted that ambition had ruled my heart instead of affection for my kin. And with the lesson of regret came the gratitude for having life still to move my lips and limbs, and to speak kind words to and embrace those I may not see again on this sweet-smelling earth. I learned that I cannot wait to love what is in my presence, for it or I may well be gone tomorrow. To some, such as Giannon, this lesson poisons the heart with bitterness. But such bitterness has no value and is, in fact, cowardly. For bitterness risks nothing.

Kate Horsley

When your dreams tire, they go underground and out of kindness that's where they stay.

Leonard Ravenhill

People exercise an unconscious selection in being influenced.

TS (Thomas Stearns) Eliot

But I don't think that it's a form of family that I would be comfortable in. I've found a way to this character and this family, but I still believe that a marriage is between two people and not seven or three.

Jeanne Tripplehorn

I have sworn upon the altar of God, eternal hostility against every form of tyranny over the mind of man.

Thomas Jefferson

Of course, Hollywood is still making some excellent pictures which reflect the great artistry that made Hollywood famous throughout the world, but these films are exceptions, judging from box office returns and press reviews.

Pola Negri

Women are naturally secretive, and they like to do their own secreting.

Arthur Conan Doyle

If they want to talk about aliens and anything like that... that's part of the gift God gave us. That's what makes life exciting. We're pretty stuck, you know. What gives flight to our life is our imagination.

Michael Moriarty

The fingers must be educated, the thumb is born knowing.

Marc Chagall

For everything you have missed, you have gained something else; and for everything you gain, you lose something else.

Ralph Waldo Emerson
