What you possess in the world will be found at the day of your death to belong to someone else. But what you are will be yours forever.

Henry Van Dyke

Each man must grant himself the emotions that he needs and the morality that suits him.

Remy de Gourmont

I'm in love with the whole world.

Vanna Bonta

Like all Israelis, I yearn for peace. I see the utmost importance in taking all possible steps that will lead to a solution of the conflict with the Palestinians.

Ariel Sharon

Raw love, like raw heartache, could blindside you.

Jodi Picoult

Love of country is like love of woman -- he loves her best who seeks to bestow on her the highest good.

Felix Adler

Do I think I was put here on earth to be a journalist and to seek truth? No, I don't.

Peter Jennings

Anne Wilson Schaef

Christianity taught men that love is worth more than intelligence.

Jacques Maritain

It is a waste of energy to be angry with a man who behaves badly, just as it is to be angry with a car that won't go.

Bertrand Russell

It cannot suffice to invent new machines, new regulations, new institutions. It is necessary to change and improve our understanding of the true purpose of what we are and what we do in the world. Only such a new understanding will allow us to develop new models of behavior, new scales of values and goals, and thereby invest the global regulations, treaties and institutions with a new spirit and meaning.

Vaclav Havel, 2001

It's difficult to see that people are starving in this country because food isn't available.(1986)

Ronald Reagan
