For us political activists and candidates, the morning after any election is a mix of emotions - the personal and the immediate, the culmination of your own recent campaigning efforts and the fortunes of your party and the success or otherwise of what you stand for and believe in.

A politician is one that would circumvent God.

William Shakespeare

Jane Austen

A strong argument for the religion of Christ is this - that offences against Charity are about the only ones which men on their death-beds can be made - not to understand - but to feel - as crime.

Edgar Allan Poe

David Herbert Lawrence

Mary Baker Eddy

To all my little Hulkamaniacs, say your prayers, take your vitamins and you will never go wrong.

Jason Reitman

Human nature is evil, and goodness is caused by intentional activity.

Xun Zi

To live a creative life, we must lose our fear of being wrong.
