I personally have always found the Unitarian faith a source of comfort and help in my daily life.

The truth is, I do indulge myself a little the more in pleasure, knowing that this is the proper age of my life to do it; and, out of my observation that most men that do thrive in the world do forget to take pleasure during the time that they are getting their estate, but reserve that till they have got one, and then it is too late for them to enjoy it.

Friedrich Von Schlegel

Manners are like the shadows of virtues, they are the momentary display of those qualities which our fellow creatures love and respect.

Sydney Smith

What if you threw a protest and no one showed up? The lack of angst and anger and emotion is a big positive.

Jay Alan Sekulow

The fall of dropping water wears away the Stone.

Lucretius
