Rascals are always sociable -- more's the pity! and the chief sign that a man has any nobility in his character is the little pleasure he takes in others company.

Eventually, I told myself not to expect anything from him, and as a result it has gotten easier for me to take what comes.

Jodi Picoult

She tells enough white lies to ice a wedding cake.

Margot Asquith

The most important ingredient we put into any relationship is not what we say or what we do, but what we are. And if our words and our actions come from superficial human relations techniques (the Personality Ethic) rather than from our own inner core (the Character Ethic), others will sense that duplicity. We simply won't be able to create and sustain the foundation necessary for effective interdependence.

Stephen Covey

In giving us children, God places us in a position of both leadership and service. He calls us to give up our lives for someone else's sake - to abandon our own desires and put our child's interests first. Yet, according to His perfect design, it is through this selflessness that we can become truly fulfilled.

Charles Stanley

We want to obviously foster a relationship that we're a partner with states that we all share the same goals of closing the achievement gap, just as the Congress does and that we're practical and sophisticated enough to understand what they're talking about.

Margaret Spellings

I think America has more than enough maturity and intelligence to start exercising its world leadership responsibly.

Cristina Kirchner

Leave the cage open. If you love someone, give them a chance to leave. You can always lock them up again should they return to you.

Jarod Kintz

Of all the anti-social vested interests the worst is the vested interest in ill-health.

George Bernard Shaw

I don't plan on going back to legal work. I wanted an international career, and finance seemed to be where some interesting career opportunities were.

Nick Johnson

You have to begin to lose your memory, if only in bits and pieces, to realize that memory is what makes our lives. Life without memory is no life at all, just as an intelligence without the possibility of expression is not really an intelligence. Our memory is our coherence, our reason, our feeling, even our action. Without it, we are nothing.

Luis Bunuel

Sir, you have but two topics, yourself and me. I am sick of both.

Samuel Johnson

It is curious how instinctively one protects the image of oneself from idolatry or any other handling that could make it ridiculous, or too unlike the original to be believed any longer.

Virginia Woolf
