Wealth is like sea-water; the more we drink, the thirstier we become; and the same is true of fame.

The gratitude that you feel leads to faith in the abundance and with every resonance that radiates from your mind more strong feelings of faith start to reside in you.

Stephen Richards

David Viscott

Gautama Siddharta

The only real happiness a ballplayer has is when he is playing a ball game and accomplishes something he didn't think he could do.

Ring Lardner

And such is your definition of matrimony and dancing. Taken in that light, certainly their resemblance is not striking; but I think I could place them in such a view. You will allow that in both man has the advantage of choice, woman only the power of refusal; that in both it is an engagement between man and woman, formed for the advantage of each; and that when once entered into, they belong exclusively to each other till the moment of its dissolution; that it is their duty each to endeavor to give the other no cause for wishing that he or she had bestowed themselves elsewhere, and their best interest to keep their own imaginations from wandering towards the perfections of their neighbors, or fancying that they should have been better off with any one else.

Jane Austen

Anger begets more anger, and forgiveness and love lead to more forgiveness and love.
