If you send out goodness from yourself, or if you share that which is happy or good within you, it will all come back to you multiplied ten thousand times. In the kingdom of love there is no competition; there is no possessiveness or control. The more love you give away, the more love you will have.

?There are books full of great writing that don't have very good stories. Read sometimes for the story... don't be like the book-snobs who won't do that. Read sometimes for the words--the language. Don't be like the play-it-safers who won't do that. But when you find a book that has both a good story and good words, treasure that book. ?

Stephen King

Life is like a dogsled team. If you ain't the lead dog, the scenery never changes.

Lewis Grizzard

Well I don't know that I'm okay any more than anyone else is okay, I lead a happy life and a very full one - I have a happy marriage and my kids are all cheerful, and no one is finding fault with me, personally.

L. Ron Hubbard

Let all Men know thee, but no man know thee thoroughly: Men freely ford that see the shallows.

Benjamin Franklin

The wise man must remember that while he is a descendant of the past, he is a parent of the future.

Herbert Spencer

More and more I come to value charity and love of one's fellow being above everything else... All our lauded technological progress our very civilization is like the axe in the hand of the pathological criminal.

Albert Einstein

O comfort-killing night, image of hell, dim register and notary of shame, black stage for tragedies and murders fell, vast sin-concealing chaos, nurse of blame!

William Shakespeare

The muse holds no appointments. You can never call on it. I don't understand people who get up at 9 o'clock in the morning, put on the coffee and sit down to write.

Glen Hansard

Love is a great power, and such a strange power...

Sergei Lukyanenko

Change occurs when one becomes what he is, not when he tries to become what he is not.

Arnold Beisser

War is thus divine in itself, since it is a law of the world. War is divine through its consequences of a supernatural nature which are as much general as particular. War is divine in the mysterious glory that surrounds it and in the no less inexplicable attraction that draws us to it. War is divine by the manner in which it breaks out.

Joseph De Maistre

I know nothing of that directly; I only know what I have been told by other young ones who couldn't have known directly either. I want to find out the truth about them and the wanting has grown until there is more of curiosity in me than fear.

Isaac Asimov
