Poor shepherdless sheep! it was His delight, as the Good Shepherd, to lead them to rich pastures; and as they sat and stood around Him, they forgot their bodily wants in the beauty and power of His words.

I believe Beauty is the condition of the perfect life, just as important as Virtue and Truth.

Stuart Merrill

He who wants to do good knocks at the gate: he who loves finds the door open.

Rabrindranath Tagore

Well-timed silence is the most commanding expression.

Mark Helprin

The longest sword, the strongest lungs, the most voices, are false measures of truth.

Benjamin Whichcote

Nature was here a series of wonders, and a fund of delight.

Daniel Boone

LEONATOWell, niece, I hope to see you one day fitted with a husband.BEATRICENot till God make men of some other metal than earth. Would it not grieve a woman to be overmastered with a pierce of valiant dust? to make an account of her life to a clod of wayward marl? No, uncle, I'll none: Adam's sons are my brethren; and, truly, I hold it a sin to match in my kindred.

William Shakespeare

Let no one till his death be called unhappy. Measure not the work until the day's out and the labor done.

Elizabeth Barrett Browning

I don't let it bother me too much if someone doesn't like me. I just figure there's no accounting for taste. It's not me, it's my acting. It's like if someone doesn't like someone's food, they just don't like my acting.

Anna Chlumsky

You must match your energy, your vibration, with that of the universe, bringing it to a higher frequency where it synchronizes with the object, person, or situation you require.

Stephen Richards

I do not want to admit to the world that I can be a bad person. It is just that I don't want anyone to have false expectations. Moviemaking is a harsh, volatile business, and unless you can be ruthless, too, there's a good chance that you are going to disappear off the scene pretty quickly.

Tom Hanks

It is quite true what Philosophy says: that Life must be understood backwards. But that makes one forget the other saying: that it must be lived --forwards. The more one ponders this, the more it comes to mean that life in the temporal existence never becomes quite intelligible, precisely because at no moment can I find complete quiet to take the backward-looking position.
