I think men who have a pierced ear are better prepared for marriage. They've experienced pain and bought jewelry.

Pictures deface walls more often than they decorate them.

William Wordsworth

I'm insecure about everything, because... I'm never going to look in the mirror and see this blond, blue-eyed girl. That is my idea of what I'd like to look like.

Cher

I think it can be hard for any man to sometimes be upstaged by his wife. So when I'm home, I work very hard to be Todd's wife and Jade's mother. I have no problem going back to those traditional roles. I try to be Giada, the young girl that he met 20 years ago and fell in love with.

Giada De Laurentiis

People who use their erudition to write for a learned minority... don't seem to me favored by fortune but rather to be pitied for their continuous self-torture. They add, change, remove, lay aside, take up, rephrase, show to their friends, keep for nine years and are never satisfied. And their futile reward, a word of praise from a handful of people, they win at such a cost -- so many late nights, such loss of sleep, sweetest of all things, and so much sweat and anguish... their health deteriorates, their looks are destroyed, they suffer partial or total blindness, poverty, ill-will, denial of pleasure, premature old age and early death.

Desiderius Erasmus

It is never about who is right or wrong, it is about what is best.

Steve Backley

With love that knew no fear, the Singer caught his torment, wrapped it all in song and gave it back to him as peace.

Calvin Miller

Perhaps we're too embarrassed to change or too frightened of the consequences of showing that we actually care. But why not risk it anyway? Begin Today. Carry out a random act of seemingly senseless kindness, with no expectation or reward or punishment. Safe in the knowledge that one day, someone somewhere might do the same for you.

Princess of Wales Diana

In the book I define conservatism, as I believe it is fit upon four categories of principle: respect for The Constitution, respect for life, less government, and personal responsibility.

Jonathan Krohn

The Lord gets his best soldiers out of the highlands of affliction.

Charles Spurgeon

I wasn't born in a log cabin, but my family moved into one as soon as they could afford it.

Melville D. Landon

Today's youth are told to get rich or die trying and they really shouldn't take that attitude forward with them.

Kareem Abdul-Jabbar

Mr. Speaker, I am deeply concerned that many regions of this world are suffering from the effects of armed conflicts with religious aspects. I believe that the differences of faith are not the real reason for these conflicts.
