Aristotle

A red rose is not selfish because it wants to be a red rose. It would be horribly selfish if it wanted all the other flowers in the garden to be both red and roses.

Oscar Wilde

I believe time wounds all heels.

John Lennon

So if we have anything original to offer, it's to speak from our own life about the society we're in.

Sean Penn

Only your friends steal your books

Voltaire

Never make a defense or apology before you be accused.

King Charles I

Stop living a day at a time and stop worrying about age.

Helen Reddy

When you lose a couple of times, it makes you realize how difficult it is to win.

Steffi Graf

Listen, gods die when they are forgotten. People too. But the land's still here. The good places, and the bad. The land isn't going anywhere. And neither am I.

Neil Gaiman

Charles E. Wilson

C.S. Lewis
