The Universe is very, very big.It also loves a paradox. For example, it has some extremely strict rules.Rule number one: Nothing lasts forever.Not you or your family or your house or your planet or the sun. It is an absolute rule. Therefore when someone says that their love will never die, it means that their love is not real, for everything that is real dies. Rule number two: Everything lasts forever.

We hold the view that the people make the best judgment in the long run.

Most new things are not good, and die an early death; but those which push themselves forward and by slow degrees force themselves on the attention of mankind are the unconscious productions of human wisdom, and must have honest consideration, and must not be made the subject of unreasoning prejudice.

Thomas Brackett Reed

Middle age is when a guy keeps turning off lights for economical rather than romantic reasons.

Eli Cass

I think a dad has to make his daughter feel that he's genuinely interested in what she's going through.

Harry Connick, Jr.

The (Christian) doctrines are translations into our concepts and ideas of that which God has already expressed in language more adequate, namely the actual incarnation, crucifixion, and resurrection

C.S. Lewis

An optimist stays up until midnight to see the new year in. A pessimist stays up to make sure the old year leaves.
