William Gilmore Simms

There's a lot of people out there who go through hard times, and they feel alone. They feel like nobody is there. But I'm in the same boat.

Brandy Norwood

Muhammad Iqbal

Tim Allen

What we have inherited from our fathers and mothers is not all that 'walks in us.' There are all sorts of dead ideas and lifeless old beliefs.

Ghosts must be all over the country, as thick as the sands of the sea.

Henrik Ibsen, Ghosts

Samuel Johnson

Will Rogers

Lawyers are the only persons in whom ignorance of the law is not punished.

Jeremy Bentham

I'd marry again if I found a man who had 15 million and would sign over half of it to me before the marriage and guarantee he'd be dead within a year.

Bette Davis
