Rain is grace; rain is the sky condescending to the earth; without rain, there would be no life.

It is a shameful thing to be weary of inquiry when what we search for is excellent.

Marcus Tullius Cicero

One of the things I like best about 'Biggest Loser' is being around people who are trying to make the right choices. When you feel defeated about your weight and your health, like there's no hope, and you still make the choice to fight for it, to make the change happen no matter what people say or think, that's inspiring to me.

Alison Sweeney

Actually we are a vulgar, pushing mob whose passions are easily mobilized by demagogues, newspaper men, religious quacks, agitators and such like. To call this a society of free peoples is blasphemous. What have we to offer the world besides the superabundant loot which we recklessly plunder from the earth under the maniacal delusion that this insane activity represents progress and enlightenment?

Henry Miller

There is a deep truism of Love, that it is colour blind.

E.J. George

The only thing that saves us from the bureaucracy is inefficiency. An efficient bureaucracy is the greatest threat to liberty.

Eugene McCarthy

Those who travel to mountain-tops are half in love with themselves, and half in love with oblivion.

Robert Macfarlane

How then did it work out, all this? How did one judge people, think of them? How did one add up this and that and conclude that it is liking one felt, or disliking?

Virginia Woolf

Religion is to mysticism what popularization is to science.

Henri Bergson

A lot of young girls think that the opposite of fake is rudeness. And just as ugly as fake is, so is saying whatever is on your mind because it's the truth.

Tyra Banks

To be content with life -- or to live merrily, rather --all that is required is that we bestow on all things only a fleeting, superficial glance; the more thoughtful we become the more earnest we grow.

G. C. (Georg Christoph) Lichtenb

When I was writing pretty poor poetry, this girl with midnight black hair told me to go on.

Carl Sandburg

Oh, I was never a businessman. I was a visionary, a dreamer.

Jim Bakker
