Poetry should surprise by a fine excess and not by singularity --it should strike the reader as a wording of his own highest thoughts, and appear almost a remembrance.

John Keats

I have encouraged my kids to eat well from day one. I add flavor - herbs and spices - to everything because I don't want them getting used to starchy, bland food. I also want them to experiment - they don't have to love everything, but they do have to try it.

Alison Sweeney

I have said to you to speak the truth is a painful thing. To be forced to tell lies is much worse.

Oscar Wilde

Obedience is the mother of success and is wedded to safety.

Aeschylus

Percy wouldn't notice a joke if it danced naked in front of him wearing one of Dobby's hats.

J.K. Rowling

I believe that the greatest truths of the universe don't lie outside, in the study of the stars and the planets. They lie deep within us, in the magnificence of our heart, mind, and soul. Until we understand what is within, we can't understand what is without.

Anita Moorjani

Edward Hopper

I put a lot of faith in dreams. I know that big movie roles and opportunities are going to happen.

Krista Allen

After silence that which comes nearest to expressing the inexpressible is music.

Aldous Huxley

I agree with you that it is the duty of every good citizen to use all the opportunities, which occur to him, for preserving documents relating to the history of our country.

Thomas Jefferson

Children are already accustomed to a world that moves faster and is more exciting than anything a teacher in front of a classroom can do.
