Reality provides us with facts so romantic that imagination itself could add nothing to them.

In a WWII radio talk, Lewis champions the well-established idea that actions lead emotions. Although he is making the point with respect to love, he illustrates with the opposite. The Germans hated the Jews, then acted on that. Because they did, their loathing was intensified by their own actions.

C.S. Lewis

There are stars in the night sky that look brighter than the others, and when you look at them through a telescope you realize you are looking at twins. The two stars rotate around each other, sometimes taking nearly a hundred years to do it. They create so much gravitational pull there's no room around for anything else. You might see a blue star, for example, and realize only later that it has a white dwarf as a companion - that first one shines so bright, by the time you notice the second one, it's too late.

Jodi Picoult

Call no faith false which e'er hath brought Relief to any laden life, Cessation to the pain of thought, Refreshment mid the dust of strife.

Lewis Morris (poet)

I shall do less whenever I shall believe what I am doing hurts the cause, and I shall do more whenever I shall believe doing more will help the cause. I shall try to correct errors when shown to be errors; and I shall adopt new views so fast as they shall appear to be true views.

Abraham Lincoln

Put an Irishman on the spit and you can always get another Irishman to turn him.

George Bernard Shaw

It has been noted that actions speak louder than words; in fact, I have found that during many situations of life, words are just noise and actions are the ONLY things that speak.

Steve Maraboli

I had no interest in sports so I didn't make friends in that traditional way where kids are in public school and they go and they join clubs, and play sports. So I kind of had to find my own way to make friends and get attention and so I just was the class clown.

Zach Braff

Marriage is not simply a romantic union between two people it's also a political and economic contract of the highest order.

Elizabeth Gilbert

You don't fall in love with someone because it's convenient.

Harriet Evans

Man is free at the moment he wishes to be.

Voltaire

The memories we make with our family is everything.

Candace Cameron Bure

Men will love to the last, but they love what is fresh and new. A woman's love can live on the recollection of the past, and cling to what is old and ugly.

Anthony Trollope
