A smile cures the wounding of a frown.

An eye for an eye only ends up making the whole world blind.

Mahatma Gandhi

We travel, initially, to lose ourselves; and we travel, next to find ourselves. We travel to open our hearts and eyes and learn more about the world than our newspapers will accommodate. We travel to bring what little we can, in our ignorance and knowledge, to those parts of the globe whose riches are differently dispersed. And we travel, in essence, to become young fools again- to slow time down and get taken in, and fall in love once more.

Pico Iyer

Unusual travel suggestions are dancing lessons from God.

Kurt Vonnegut

We must keep both our femininity and our strength.

Indra Devi

To speak on without saying anything has always been the greatest gift of orators.

Platen

All religions lead to the same God, and all deserve the same respect. Anyone who chooses a religion is also choosing a collective way for worshipping and sharing the mysteries. Nevertheless, that person is the only one responsible for his or her actions along the way and has no right to shift responsibility for any personal decisions on to that religion.

Paulo Coelho

Thanksgiving Day, a function which originated in New England two or three centuries ago when those people recognized that they really had something to be thankful for -- annually, not oftener -- if they had succeeded in exterminating their neighbors, the Indians, during the previous twelve months instead of getting exterminated by their neighbors, the Indians. Thanksgiving Day became a habit, for the reason that in the course of time, as the years drifted on, it was perceived that the exterminating had ceased to be mutual and was all on the white man's side, consequently on the Lord's side; hence it was proper to thank the Lord for it and extend the usual annual compliments.

Mark Twain

The dream was not to put one black family in the White House, the dream was to make everything equal in everybody's house.

Al Sharpton

Princes and governments are far more dangerous than other elements within society.

Niccolo Machiavelli

Necessity is not an established fact, but an interpretation.

Friedrich Nietzsche

I'm still the little southern girl from the wrong side of the tracks who really didn't feel like she belonged.

Faye Dunaway
