The growing influence of women is the one reassuring thing in our political life.

Oscar Wilde

He had never thought the question over clearly, but vaguely imagined that his wife had long suspected him of being unfaithful to her and was looking the other way. It even seemed to him that she, a worn-out, aged, no longer beautiful woman, not remarkable for anything, simple, merely a kind mother of a family, ought in all fairness to be indulgent. It turned out to be quite the opposite.

Leo Tolstoy

It is necessary to the happiness of man that he be mentally faithful to himself. Infidelity does not consist in believing, or in disbelieving, it consists in professing to believe what he does not believe.

Thomas Paine

Still waters run deep.

English Proverb

A great many people experience the movement from one century to the next, but a minuscule number of people experience the movement from one millennium to the next.

Neale Donald Walsch

But let us not forget that human love and compassion are equally deeply rooted in our primate heritage, and in this sphere too our sensibilities are of a higher order of magnitude than those of chimpanzees.

Jane Goodall

Opposition, n. In politics the party that prevents the Government from running amok by hamstringing it.

Ambrose Bierce

Dreams are today's answers to tomorrow's questions.

Edgar Cayce

Most books today seemed to have been written overnight from books read the day before.

Sebastian Roch Nicolas Chamfort

It manus in gyrum; paullatim singula viresDeperdunt proprias; color est E pluribus unus. Spins round the stirring hand; lose by degreesTheir separate powers the parts, and comes at lastFrom many several colors one that rules.

Virgil

The most powerful element in advertising is the truth.

William Bernbach

For too long, and despite what people told me, I had fallen for what the culture said about beauty, youth, features, heights, weights, hair textures, upper arms.
