Sir, money, money, the most charming of all things; money, which will say more in one moment than the most elegant lover can in years. Perhaps you will say a man is not young; I answer he is rich. He is not genteel, handsome, witty, brave, good-humored, but he is rich, rich, rich, rich, rich --that one word contradicts everything you can say against him.

I live for my sons. I would be lost without them.

Princess of Wales Diana

The face of Garbo is an Idea, that of Hepburn an Event.

Roland Barthes

You can't make the Duchess of Windsor into Rebecca of Sunnybrook Farm. The facts of life are very stubborn things.

Amory, Cleveland

The bonds that unite another person to our self exist only in our mind.

Marcel Proust

I want a man who knows something about himself. And is appalled. And has to forgive himself to get along.

C.P. Snow

The argument of Alcidamas: Everyone honours the wise. Thus the Parians have honoured Archilochus, in spite of his bitter tongue; the Chians Homer, though he was not their countryman; the Mytilenaeans Sappho, though she was a woman; the Lacedaemonians actually made Chilon a member of their senate, though they are the least literary of men; the inhabitants of Lampsacus gave public burial to Anaxagoras, though he was an alien, and honour him even to this day.

Aristotle

What a dog I got. I tried to mate her she wants 50 biscuits.

Rodney Dangerfield

And in that I cannot send unto you all my businesses in writing, I despatch these present bearers fully informed in all things, to whom it may please you to give faith and credence in what they shall say unto you by word of mouth.

Owen Glendower

Language is like money, without which specific relative values may well exist and be felt, but cannot be reduced to a common denominator.

George Santayana

What people call impartiality may simply mean indifference, and what people call partiality may simply mean mental activity.

G. K. Chesterton

Judgements prevent us from seeing the good that lies beyond appearances.

Wayne Dyer

Things don't go wrong and break your heart so you can become bitter and give up. They happen to break you down and build you up so you can be all that you were intended to be.

Samuel Johnson
