Prostitution, when unmotivated by economic need, might well be defined as a species of psychological addiction, built on self-hatred through repetitions of the act of sale by which a whore is defined.

Money is such an amazing teacher: What you choose to do with your money shows whether you are truly powerful or powerless.

Suze Orman

The world is new to us every morning - this is God's gift and every man should believe he is reborn each day.

Baal Shem Tov

What is more important in a library than anything else -- than everything else -- is the fact that it exists.

Archibald MacLeish, The Premise

If we shadows have offended, Think but this, and all is mended,That you have but slumbered hereWhile these visions did appear.And this weak and idle theme,No more yielding but a dream,Gentles, do not reprehend:If you pardon, we will mend:And, as I am an honest Puck,If we have unearned luckNow to 'scape the serpent's tongue,We will make amends ere long;Else the Puck a liar call;So, good night unto you all.Give me your hands, if we be friends,And Robin shall restore amends.

William Shakespeare

We hear much of chivalry of men towards women; but ... it vanishes like dew before the summer sun when one of us comes into competition with the manly sex. Let a woman sit, weep, wring her hands, and exult in her own helplessness, and the modern knight buckles on his imaginary breastplate and draws his sword in her behalf; but when the woman girds up her loins for the battle of life, ready to fight like a lioness, if need be, to put food in the mouths of her children, let her select for her field the living-room or the cooking range.

Martha J. Coston, Signal Success

You don't love someone for their looks, or their clothes, or for their fancy car, but because they sing a song only you can hear.

Oscar Wilde

We cannot be both the world's leading champion of peace and the world's leading supplier of the weapons of war.

Jimmy Carter

Thy duty do? rejoined the voice, Ah, do it, do it, and rejoice; But shalt thou then, when all is done, Enjoy a love, embrace a beauty Like these, that may be seen and won In life, whose course will then be run; Or wilt thou be where there is none? I know not, I will do my duty.

Arthur Hugh Clough

Let him who desires peace prepare for war.

Publius Flavius Vegetius Renatus

The reputation of a man is like his shadow, gigantic when it precedes him, and pigmy in its proportions when it follows.

CharlesMaurice de Talleyrand

Orandum est ut sit mens sana in corpore sanoa healthy mind in a healthy body

Hippocrates

If I could have married my wife and been a sports writer for the past 30 years, I wouldn't be sitting here - but I don't think I'd be sitting someplace where I was sorry to be sitting.

Richard Ford
