Men are probably nearer the central truth in their superstitions than in their science

Henry David Thoreau

When friendship disappears then there is a space left open to that awful loneliness of the outside world which is like the cold space between the planets. It is an air in which men perish utterly.

Hilaire Belloc

Life and death. They are somehow sweetly and beautifully mixed, but I don't know how.

Gloria Swanson

For Poetry is the wisdom of the blood, That scarlet tree within, which has the power To make dull words bud forth and burst in flower.

Osbert Sitwell

For many children, joy comes as the result of mining something unique and wondrous about themselves from some inner shaft.

Thomas J. Cottle

Zeal is fit for wise men, but flourishes chiefly among fools.

John Tillotson

Lenience will operate with greater force, in some instances than rigor. It is therefore my first wish to have all of my conduct distinguished by it.

George Washington

Satan trembles when he sees the weakest saint upon their knees.

William Cowper

Sectarian divide has created a schism in our society that is a major challenge. As monarch of all Bahrainis, it pains me to see many harmed by the actions of a few.

Hamad bin Isa Al Khalifa

And as I played, a child came thro' the gate, A boy who looked at me without a word, As tho' he saw stretch far behind my head Long lines of radiant angels, row on row. That day we spoke a little, timidly, And after that I never heard the voice That sang so many songs for love of me.

Sara Teasdale

A beautiful form is better than a beautiful face; it gives a higher pleasure than statues or pictures; it is the finest of the fine arts.

Ralph Waldo Emerson

I have never seen a newspaper headline where those in spirit, without physical bodies, carried out evil deeds like a mugger in a parking lot.

Stephen Richards
