If they want peace, nations should avoid the pin-pricks that precede cannon-shots.

Every book is a great action and every great action is a book!

Martin Luther King Jr.

Astriola. That IS demon pox. You had evidence that demon pox existed and you didnt mention it to me! Et tu, Brute!' He rolled up the paper and hit Jem over the head with it.

Cassandra Clare

A coldly rationalist individualist can deny that he has any obligation to make sacrifices for the future.

Garrett Hardin

Love is a form of prejudice. You love what you need, you love what makes you feel good, you love what is convenient. How can you say you love one person when there are ten thousand people in the world that you would love more if you ever met them? But you'll never meet them. All right, so we do the best we can. Granted. But we must still realize that love is just the result of a chance encounter. Most people make too much of it. On these grounds a good fuck is not to be entirely scorned. But that's the result of a chance meeting too. You're damned right. Drink up. We'll have another.

Charles Bukowski

If we did not look to marriage as the principal source of happiness, fewer marriages would end in tears.

Anthony Storr

Sometimes the love you'll feel after you've been hurt is stronger than ever.

Steve Maraboli

What's your dream and to what corner of the missions world will it take you?

Eleanor Roat

I don't know Who -- or what -- put the question, I don't know when it was put. I don't even remember answering. But at some moment I did answer Yes to Someone --or Something --and from that hour I was certain that existence is meaningful and that, therefore, my life, in self-surrender, had a goal.

Dag Hammarskjold

My parents always encouraged me and I had a good home life. We were always taught to respect things and other people. It's so different today, because children are just not taught the right way.

Betty Cuthbert

I have known a German Prince with more titles than subjects, and a Spanish nobleman with more names than shirts.

Oliver Goldsmith

There is no stopping place in this life--nor is there ever one for any person, no matter how far along the way one's gone.

Meister Eckhart

I love life in spite of all that mars it. I love friendship, jokes and laughter.
