I want to be in a relationship where you telling me you love me is just a ceremonious validation of what you already show me.

Before I speak, I have something important to say.

Groucho Marx

It is a tribute to the peculiar horror of contemporary life that it makes the worst features of earlier times -- the stupefaction of the masses, the obsessed and driven lives of the bourgeoisie -- seem attractive by comparison.

Christopher Lasch

Man is a reasoning rather than a reasonable animal.

Alexander Hamilton

There is no excellence without labor. One cannot dream oneself into either usefulness or happiness.

Liberty Hyde Bailey

When we set out on the path, we always have a fairly clear idea of what we hope to find. Women are generally seeking their Soul Mate, and men looking for Power. Neither party is really interested in learning. They simply want to reach the thing they have set as their goal.

Paulo Coelho

Academic qualifications are important and so is financial education. They're both important and schools are forgetting one of them.

Robert Kiyosaki

Very young children eat their books, literally devouring their contents. This is one reason for the scarcity of first editions of Alice in Wonderland and other favorites of the nursery.

A. S. W. Rosenbach

Be aware of this truth that the people on this earth could be joyous, if only they would live rationally and if they would contribute mutually to each others' welfare.This world is not a vale of sorrows if you will recognize discriminatingly what is truly excellent in it; and if you will avail yourself of it for mutual happiness and well-being. Therefore, let us explain as often as possible, and particularly at the departure of life, that we base our faith on firm foundations, on Truth for putting into action our ideas which do not depend on fables and ideas which Science has long ago proven to be false.

Kurt Vonnegut

The more one loves a mistress, the more one is ready to hate her.

Francois de La Rochefoucauld

When I'm in love, I can't stand anyone.

Stefano Benni

Trust is to human relationships what faith is to gospel living. It is the beginning place, the foundation upon which more can be built. Where trust is, love can flourish.

Barbara Smith

There be none of Beauty's daughters With a magic like thee; And like music on the waters Is thy sweet voice to me.

Lord Byron
