He surprised me by his familiarity with details of movements and battles which I did not suppose had come to his knowledge. As he kept me talking for over half an hour, I flattered myself that what I had to say interested him.

We are growing serious, and let me tell you, that's the next step to being dull.

Joseph Addison

If a relationship is founded on love it doesn't end.

Rosanne Cash

I have been feeling very much lately that cheerful insecurity is what our Lord asks of us.

C.S. Lewis

With each new day in Africa, a gazelle wakes up knowing he must outrun the fastest lion or perish. At the same time, a lion stirs and stretches, knowing he must outrun the fastest gazelle or starve. It's no different for the human race. Whether you consider yourself a gazelle or a lion, you have to run faster than others to survive.

Michelle Pfeiffer

I rise today in support of Bill C-38, the Civil Marriage Act. I rise in support of a Canada in which liberties are safeguarded, rights are protected and the people of this land are treated as equals under the law.

Paul Martin

When I am speaking about American presidents, I have to speak about my very special relations with President Clinton. He contributed more to peace than anybody else in the American sense.

Shimon Peres

I don't read music. I don't write it. So I wander around on the guitar until something starts to present itself.

James Taylor

If you are in a beautiful place where you can enjoy sunrise and sunset, then you are living like a lord.
