Before we set our hearts too much on anything, let us examine how happy are those who already possess it.

Before Alamein we never had a victory. After Alamein we never had a defeat.

Winston Churchill

...perhaps those who are best suited to power are those who have never sought it.

J.K. Rowling

It is worth while too to warn the teacher that undue severity in correcting faults is liable at times to discourage a boy's mind from effort.

Quintilian

Depakote also has a really bad side effect, which is death.

Margot Kidder

Eh, gentlemen, let us reckon upon accidents! Life is a chaplet of little miseries which the philosopher counts with a smile. Be philosophers, as I am, gentlemen; sit down at the table and let us drink. Nothing makes the future look so bright as surveying it through a glass of chambertin.

Alexandre Dumas

Never in this world can hatred be stilled by hatred; it will be stilled only by non-hatred -- this is the law of eternal.

Buddha

Soul music is timeless.

Alicia Keys

What people still do not like to admit is that there were two crimes in the form of one. Just as the destruction of Jewry was the necessary condition for the rise and expansion of Nazism, so . I first noticed this point when reading an essay by the late Ernest Gellner, who at the end of the war had warned Eastern Europeans that collective punishment of Germans would put them under Stalin's tutelage indefinitely. They would always feel the guilty need for an ally against potential German revenge.

Christopher Hitchens

Nothing is so galling to a people not broken in from the birth as a paternal, or, in other words, a meddling government, a government which tells them what to read, and say, and eat, and drink and wear.

Thomas B. Macaulay

Liberalism -- it is well to recall this today -- is the supreme form of generosity; it is the right which the majority concedes to minorities and hence it is the noblest cry that has ever resounded in this planet. It announces the determination to share existence with the enemy; more than that, with an enemy which is weak.

Jos

Wisdom is perishable. Unlike information or knowledge, it cannot be stored in a computer or recorded in a book. It expires with each passing generation.

Sid Taylor

Being in love is not cool!
