At twenty you have many desires which hide the truth, but beyond forty there are only real and fragile truths --your abilities and your failings.

Until you make peace with who you are, you'll never be content with what you have.

Doris Mortman

If I were a capitalist I would not give my employees health insurance with no deductible, which I do, including dental, and paid pregnancy leave. That's not called capitalism, that's called being a Christian and someone who believes in democracy, so that everyone should get a fair slice of the pie.

Michael Moore

Power never takes a back step only in the face of more power.

Malcolm X

To bring up a child in the way he should go -- travel that way yourself.

Josh Billings

I love animals and feel very strongly that people should not be allowed to buy a pet if they are not able to look after it.

Life is trying things to see if they work.

Ray Bradbury

I believe that God will help us to forget things, the memory of which would do us harm, or rather that He will enable us to remember only so much of them as will be for our good, and we, ourselves, not emotionally overwhelmed. The pain endured. The lesson learned. Let it now be forgotten! Face the future with courage, cheerfulness, and hope. Give God the chance and He will make you forget all that it would be harmful to remember.

W.E. (William Edwin) Sangster, W

Why, ever since Adam, who has got to the meaning of this great allegory -- the world? Then we pygmies must be content to have out paper allegories but ill comprehended.

Herman Melville

Look to this day For it is life, the very life of life. For yesterday is but a dream And tomorrow is only a vision But today well lived makes every yesterday a dream of happiness And tomorrow a vision of hope. Look well, therefore, to this day Such is the salutation of the dawn.

Kalidasa

People are not perfect... very often the relationships that are strongest are those where people have worked through big crises, but they've had to work through them. So the challenge to us is to work through that.

Patricia Hewitt

The U.S. tries to provide immigrants who grow up here with a world-class education and imbue them with the can-do attitude that has long defined American innovation.

Gary Locke

Your bad love of yourselves makes solitude a prison to you.

Friedrich Nietzsche
