When a person cannot deceive himself the chances are against his being able to deceive other people.

I like food, like any other guy, but it is not the main thing in my life. I can do without it.

Lee Child

Life every man holds dear but the dear man holds honor far more precious dear than life.

William Shakespeare

All good government must begin at home.

H. R. Haweis

The valiant never taste of death but once.

William Shakespeare

We never really felt a real level of respect. The fame was fantastic, but that wasn't that important to me, because for every million people that loved me I focused on the one that hated me.

Donnie Wahlberg

A hundred years cannot repair a moment's loss of honor.

Proverb

It only takes 20 years for a liberal to become a conservative without changing a single idea.

Robert Anton Wilson

Love alone can unite living beings so as to complete and fulfill them... for it alone joins them by what is deepest in themselves. All we need is to imagine our ability to love developing until it embraces the totality of men and the earth.

Pierre Teilhard de Chardin

The individual (no matter how well-meaning he might be, no matter how much strength he might have, if only he would use it) does not have the passion to rip himself away from either the coils of Reflection or the seductive ambiguities of Reflection; nor do the surroundings and times have any events or passions, but rather provide a negative setting of a habit of reflection, which plays with some illusory project only to betray him in the end with a way out: it shows him that the most clever thing to do is nothing at all.

Soren Kierkegaard, The Present A

Families are struggling against a tide of junk information on junk food.

Diane Abbott

Life is essentially a cheat and its conditions are those of defeat... the redeeming things are not happiness and pleasure but the deeper satisfactions that come out of struggle.
