People are trapped in history and history is trapped in them.

Little girls grow up thinking that knights in shining armor actually exist. ? But they don't. ? And if those valiant heroes ever did bless this world with their chivalrous deeds, I imagine, just? like Christ's apostles, they were destroyed by envy on the battlefront.

Richelle E. Goodrich

Meditation brings wisdom; lack of mediation leaves ignorance. Know well what leads you forward and what hold you back, and choose the path that leads to wisdom.

Buddha

You're only young once, but you can be immature forever.

John P. Grier

Those three divine attributes of a perfect woman: goodness, beauty and wealth.

Arthur Desmond

Her body accepted my brutal seed and took it to swell within, just as the patient earth accepts a falling fruit into its tender soil to cradle and nourish it to grow. Came a time, just springtime last, our infant child pushed through the fragile barrier of her womb. Her legs branched out, just as the wood branches out from these eternal trees around us; but she was not hardy as they. My wife groaned with blood and ceased to breathe. Aye!, a scornful eve that bred the kind of pain only a god can withstand.

Roman Payne

Misfortune is never mournful to the soul that accepts it; for such do always see that every cloud is an angel's face. Every man deems that he has precisely the trials and temptations which are the hardest of all others for him to bear; but they are so, simply because they are the very ones he most needs.

Lydia Maria Child

There's no present. There's only the immediate future and the recent past.

George Carlin

So why am I facing a recall election? Simple: the big government union bosses from Washington want their money. They don't like the fact that I did something fundamentally pro-worker something that's truly about freedom.

Scott Walker

Rascals are always sociable -- more's the pity! and the chief sign that a man has any nobility in his character is the little pleasure he takes in others company.

Arthur Schopenhauer

The power of the American system of republicanism lies in its capacity to allow religious belief to be a competing, not a controlling, factor in American life.

Jon Meacham

I would say my greatest achievement in life right now - my greatest achievement period is - and I'm still trying to achieve it - is to be a wonderful father to my kids.

Bo Jackson

To a person in love, the value of the individual is intuitively known. Love needs no logic for its mission.

Charles Lindbergh
