Truth is a glorious but hard mistress. She never consults, bargains or compromises.

Every day I live I am more convinced that the waste of life lies in the love we have not given, the powers we have not used, the selfish prudence that will risk nothing and which, shirking pain, misses happiness as well.

Mary Cholmondeley

You can hate me. You can go out there and say anything you want about me, But you will love me later because I told you the truth.

Mary J. Blige

Religious institutions that use government power in support of themselves and force their views on persons of other faiths, or of no faith, undermine all our civil rights. Moreover, state support of an established religion tends to make the clergy unresponsive to their own people, and leads to corruption within religion itself. Erecting the 'wall of separation between church and state,' therefore, is absolutely essential in a free society.

Thomas Jefferson

We are not commanded (or forbidden) to love our mates, our children, our friends, our country because such affections come naturally to us and are good in themselves, although we may corrupt them. We are commanded to love our neighbor because our natural attitude toward the other is one of either indifference or hostility.

W. H. Auden

It's a pretty good idea to be of good cheer but not all the time. Just at the most unexpected times.

By giving people the power to share, we're making the world more transparent.

Mark Zuckerberg

We've been trained since kindergarten: Be nice, be kind, share, put on a smile. So we're conditioned to squash our natural selfish instincts, and that's the right thing for society.

Bryan Cranston

I can learn to live with guilt. I don't care about being good.

Holly Black

The beauty of this day doesn't depend on its lasting forever.

Marty Rubin

The embarrassing thing is that the salad dressing is out-grossing my films.

Paul Newman

Soar with wit. Conquer with dignity. Handle with care.

Criss Jami

My body is tired as worn out rug, but my brain (if i had) is always full of curiosity, jumping around for seeking new funs. If they could learn how to be cooperative each others, my life could be way easier... sigh*
