Well-timed silence is the most commanding expression.

Mark Helprin

Shall we judge a country by the majority, or by the minority? By the minority, surely.

Ralph Waldo Emerson

One of the saddest things is that the only thing that a man can do for eight hours a day, day after day, is work. You can't eat eight hours a day nor drink for eight hours a day nor make love for eight hours --all you can do for eight hours is work. Which is the reason why man makes himself and everybody else so miserable and unhappy.

William Faulkner

Kings are not born: they are made by artificial hallucination.

George Bernard Shaw

Its complicated, on one level. On another, its the same old stupid story - we aren't enlightened. We disagree, fall in love, and hate eachother, the whole spectrum of human experience. We have differences of opinion, and sometimes, we can't resolve those differences peacefully. If a disagreement goes for long enough, and is important enough, people start to take sides. Once people start to take sides, conflict is inevitable.

He reached up t0 grab one and came down with several, and they kept coming, washing over him, floating all around him. Never have tampon strings seemed so beautiful as they rolled up and down with the wind, landing on the ground and then twirling and floating up again, falling and rising and falling and rising.

John Green

Carla Gugino

In goodness there are all kinds of wisdom.

Euripides

Creative risk taking is essential to success in any goal where the stakes are high. Thoughtless risks are destructive, of course, but perhaps even more wasteful is thoughtless caution which prompts inaction and promotes failure to seize opportunity.

Gary Ryan Blair

I love the smell of juice boxes in the morning.

Robert Duvall

The good deed you do today For a brother or sister in need Will come back to you some day For humanity's a circle in deed.
