But those rare souls whose spirit gets magically into the hearts of men, leave behind them something more real and warmly personal than bodily presence, an ineffable and eternal thing. It is everlasting life touching us as something more than a vague, recondite concept. The sound of a great name dies like an echo; the splendor of fame fades into nothing; but the grace of a fine spirit pervades the places through which it has passed, like the haunting loveliness of mignonette.

No woman has ever so comforted the distressed or distressed the comfortable. On Eleanor Roosevelt

Clare Boothe Luce

There is, on the whole, nothing on earth intended for innocent people so horrible as a school. To begin with, it is a prison. But in some respects more cruel than a prison. In a prison, for instance, you are not forced to read books written by the warders and the governor. . . .In the prison you are not forced to sit listening to turnkeys discoursing without charm or interest on subjects that they don't understand and don't care about, and therefore incapable of making you understand or care about. In a prison they may torture your body; but they do not torture your brains.

George Bernard Shaw

Her eyes met his, but she looked quickly away; entangling gazes with Will was confusing at best, dizzying at worst.

Cassandra Clare

A successful relationship bridges the gap between men and women and that bridge is built with respect.

Steve Maraboli

I take my wife everywhere I go. She always finds her way back.

Henny Youngman

A hungry stomach has no ears.

Proverb

I was very happy sitting alone at a dining room table, writing a script.

Conrad Hall

The last best hope of earth, two trillion dollars in debt, is spinning out of control, and all we can do is stare at a flickering cathode-ray tube as Ollie answers questions on TV while the press, resolutely irrelevant as ever, asks politicians if they have committed adultery. From V-J Day 1945 to this has been, my fellow countrymen, a perfect nightmare.

Gore Vidal

Science is the captain, and practice the soldiers.

Leonardo da Vinci

Happiness is a small and unworthy goal for something as big and fancy as a whole lifetime, and should be taken in small doses.

Russell Baker

Every country can be defined through their food, their music and their language. That's the soul of a country.

Quincy Jones

If you have to fight a crowd of boys, it's best to go for the biggest one. That way you won't have to fight them all. The others will see that you mean business and you will win their respect.

Suzanne Vega
