There is no unhappiness like the misery of sighting land (and work) again after a cheerful, careless voyage

When thou art quiet and silent, then art thou as God was before nature and creature; thou art that which God then wats; thou art that whereof he made thy nature and creature: Then thou hearest and seest even with that wherewith God himself saw and heard in thee, before every thine own willing or thine own seeing began.

Jacob Boehme

Life takes us on different paths... It's not up to us to evaluate or judge them, merely respect and embrace them.(Lara Lington - to Sadie Lancaster)

Sophie Kinsella

Experience by itself proves nothing. Experience proves this, or that, or nothing, according to the preconceptions we bring to it.

C.S. Lewis

The dead have been awakened -- shall I sleep? The world's at war with tyrants -- shall I crouch? the harvest's ripe -- and shall I pause to reap? I slumber not; the thorn is in my couch; Each day a trumpet soundeth in mine ear, its echo in my heart.

Lord (George Gordon) Byron

As Republicans, our first concern is for those waiting tonight to begin or resume the climb up life's ladder.

Samuel Johnson

Fame does lead to money, which I don't have a close relationship with. I'm the kind of guy who never sees the money - it all goes somewhere else. I don't understand it, I don't like to deal with it. I have a fear of not having it, because I grew up without it.

David Duchovny

The mark of a true MBA is that he is often wrong but seldom in doubt.

Robert Buzzell

You do ill if you praise, but worse if you censure, what you do not understand.

Leonardo DaVinci

To refuse graciously is to confer a favor.

Publilius Syrus

I always like to start my morning with a good amount of fruit. I really like pineapple, particularly because of the enzymes that it has. Sometimes I have oatmeal. But if I'm feeling like I really want to be watching my weight more, then I definitely do a protein, like an omelet, scrambled eggs or some smoked salmon.
