It was a very proper wedding. The bride was elegantly dressed---the two bridemaids were duly inferior---her father gave her away---her mother stood with salts in her hand expecting to be agitated---her aunt tried to cry--- and the service was impressively read by Dr. Grant.

Our life is not really a mutual helpfulness; but rather, it's fair competition cloaked under due laws of war; it's a mutual hostility.

Thomas Carlyle

If you want greater prosperity in your life, start forming a vacuum to receive it.

Catherine Ponder

I want babies. I think I'll be a great dad.

Oliver Hudson

If goodness has causes, it is not goodness; if it has effects, a reward, it is not goodness either. So goodness is outside the chain of cause and effect.

Leo Tolstoy

Better a living dog than a dead lion.

Proverb

A woman telling her true age is like a buyer confiding his final price to an Armenian rug dealer.

Yet in the writing, and perhaps in the reading, some of a character's actions or lines are truer than others.

Amy Waldman

Aging in women is 'unbeautiful' since women grow more powerful with time, and since the links between generations of women must always be broken.

Naomi Wolf

Prosperity belongs to those who learn new things the fastest.

Paul Zane Pilzer

I won't allow myself to have tremendous fear.
