Prosperity is the best protector of principle.

Mark Twain

A half truth is a whole lie.

Yiddish Proverb

Many great writers have been extraordinarily awkward in daily exchange, but the greatest give the impression that their style was nursed by the closest attention to colloquial speech.

Thornton Wilder

I THINK that I shall never see A poem lovely as a tree. A tree whose hungry mouth is prest Against the sweet earth's flowing breast; A tree that looks at God all day, And lifts her leafy arms to pray; A tree that may in summer wear A nest of robins in her hair; Upon whose bosom snow has lain; Who intimately lives with rain. Poems are made by fools like me, But only God can make a tree.

Joyce Kilmer, Trees

The melancholy river bears us on. When the moon comes through the trailing willow boughs, I see your face, I hear your voice and the bird singing as we pass the osier bed. What are you whispering? Sorrow, sorrow. Joy, joy. Woven together, like reeds in moonlight.

Virginia Woolf

Lord, grant that I may always desire more than I can accomplish.

Michelangelo Buonarroti

True beauty springs from the heart and dwells in the eyes.

Judith McNaught

Nah, I don't watch TV either, apart from a few sports programmes. I just don't have the time.

Eric Bristow

It is not a difficult matter to learn what it means to delight ourselves in the Lord. It is to live so as to please Him, to honor everything we find in His Word, to do everything the way He would like to have it done, and for Him.

S. Maxwell Coder

Follow love and it will flee, flee love and it will follow.

Proverb

It's emotional warfare telling the people we love, the most, the truth about ourselves.

Lauryn Hill

I have often wondered how it is everyone loves himself more than the rest of men, but yet sets less value on his own opinions of himself than the opinions of others.

Marcus Aurelius
