True love grows by sacrifice and the more thoroughly the soul rejects natural satisfaction the stronger and more detached its tenderness becomes.

The world is a fine place and worth fighting for.

Ernest Hemingway

Remember, your prerogative is to govern, and not to serve the things of this world.

Thomas Kempis

People are capable, at any time in their lives, of doing what they dream of.

Paulo Coelho

The hood-winked husband shows his anger, and the word jealous is flung in his face. Jealous husband equals betrayed husband. And there are women who look upon jealousy as synonymous with impotence, so that the betrayed husband can only shut his eyes, powerless in the face of such accusations.

J. August Strindberg

At the New York Athletic Club they serve amazing food. People go there, get healthy, and then eat themselves to death - which is, I suppose, the right way to do it.

Oliver Reed

Man shall not live by bread alone.

Bible

Whether your faith is that there is a God or that there is not a God, if you don't have any doubts you are either kidding yourself or asleep. Doubts are the ants in the pants of faith. They keep it awake and moving.

Frederick Buechner, Wishful Thin

Paula Deen

Love is the delightful interval between meeting a beautiful girl and discovering that she looks like a haddock.

John Barrymore

If you wish me to weep, you must first show grief yourself.

Horace

Give yourself entirely to those around you. Be generous with your blessings. A kind gesture can reach a wound that only compassion can heal.
