Our power is not so much in us as through us.

God himself culminates in the present moment, and will never be more divine in the lapse of all the ages. And we are enabled to apprehend at all what is sublime and noble only by the perpetual instilling and drenching of the reality which surrounds us. The universe constantly and obediently answers to our conceptions; whether we travel fast or slow, the track is laid for us.

Henry David Thoreau

It is with disease of the mind, as with those of the body; we are half dead before we understand our disorder, and half cured when we do.

Charles Caleb Colton

I was coming home from kindergarten - well they told me it was kindergarten. I found out later I had been working in a factory for ten years. It's good for a kid to know how to make gloves.

Ellen DeGeneres

Religion has done love a great service by making it a sin.

Anatole France

Tourists are terrorists with cameras. Terrorists are tourists with guns.

Anon.

Every sweet has its sour every evil its good.

Ralph Waldo Emerson

It is a quite remarkable fact that the great religions of the most civilized peoples are more deeply fraught with sadness than the simpler beliefs of earlier societies. This certainly does not mean that the current of pessimism is eventually to submerge the other, but it proves that it does not lose ground and that it does not seem destined to disappear.

Emile Durkheim

I went to a military school between the ages of six and 12 and later into the air force. You learn discipline and strength of character.

Larry Hagman

I was already set for life when I met her.

David Gest

No matter how busy you are, you must take time to make the other person feel important.

Mary Kay Ash

I do think that, at one time, being an actress was the equivalent almost of being a prostitute. It garnered roughly the same respect. That's changed a lot, thank goodness.

Michelle Pfeiffer

I remember committing myself to make it in the garbage business, whatever it takes!
