In the survival of favoured individuals and races, during the constantly-recurring struggle for existence, we see a powerful and ever-acting form of selection.

One drop of hatred left in the cup of joy turns the most blissful draught into poison.

Friedrich von Schiller

Most of our faults are more pardonable than the means we use to conceal them.

Francois de La Rochefoucauld

There is no such thing as a good influence. Because to influence a person is to give him one's own soul. He does not think his natural thoughts, or burn with his natural passions. His virtures are not real to him. His sins, if there are such thing as sins, are borrowed. He becomes an echo of someone else's music, an actor of a part that has not been written for him.

Oscar Wilde

Hope is the only bee that makes honey without flowers.

Robert Green Ingersoll

John wrote with a very deep love for the human race and a concern for its future.

Yoko Ono

Be good, sweet maid, and let who will be clever; Do noble things, not dream them, all day long; And so make Life, and Death, and that For Ever, One grand sweet song

Charles Kingsley

The whole point of being in this business and being blessed and being successful is that you're able to do things for your friends or your family, which means that they can have something special in their lives, too.

Elton John

Buy with your heart, not your head. You can look at all the aspects that make a purchase practical, but that kind of thinking makes it an investment rather than a home.

Barbara Corcoran

The evils arising from the loss of her uncle were neither trifling nor likely to lessen; and when thought had been freely indulged, in contrasting the past and the present, the employment of mind and dissipation of unpleasant ideas which only reading could produce made her thankfully turn to a book.

Jane Austen

Government never furthered any enterprise but the alacrity with which it got out of the way.

Henry David Thoreau

Try any goddam thing you like, no matter how boringly normal or outrageous. If it works, fine. If it doesn't, toss it. Toss it even if you love it.

Stephen King

With your help I can advance against a troop; with my God I can scale a wall. Psalms 18:29
