There was a pretty young woman I used to see pegging out sheets and I worried that she would grow old there and that no one would know how beautiful she was. And maybe she would die without ever having really lived.

I am ashamed to see what a shallow village tale our so-called History is.

Ralph Waldo Emerson

Every animal has his or her story, his or her thoughts, daydreams, and interests. All feel joy and love, pain and fear, as we now know beyond any shadow of a doubt. All deserve that the human animal afford them the respect of being cared for with great consideration for those interests or left in peace.

Ingrid Newkirk

Perhaps the wind Wails so in winter for the summers dead, And all sad sounds are nature's funeral cries For what has been and is not.

George Eliot

The light shines in the darkness and the darkness comprehended it not.

Bible

Our works decay and disappear but God gentlest works stay looking down on the ruins we toil to rear.

Dr. Walter Smith

I have no fear that the result of our experiment will be that men may be trusted to govern themselves without a master.

Thomas Jefferson

When we are happy, we are always good, but when we are good, we are not always happy.

Oscar Wilde

Banks are an almost irresistible attraction for that element of our society which seeks unearned money.

J. Edgar Hoover

We are happier in many ways when we are old than when we were young. The young sow wild oats. The old grow sage.

Sir Winston Churchill

I'll do strength training in my dressing room between shoots, and I've been known to make business calls while out jogging. I try to mute myself on Bluetooth so they can't hear me huffing and puffing, but I usually end up getting caught.

Alison Sweeney

Jealousy is bred in doubts. When those doubts change into certainties, then the passion either ceases or turns absolute madness.

Francois de La Rochefoucauld

People say they love truth, but in reality they want to believe that which they love is true.
