When you have wisdom that another person knows that he needs, you give it freely. But when the other person doesn't yet know that he needs your wisdom you keep it to yourself. Food only looks good to a hungry man.

Sometimes a strange light shines, purer than the moon, casting no shadow, that is the halo upon the bones of the pioneers who died for truth.

R. S. Thomas

Ellie Goulding

O mischief, thou art swift to enter in the thoughts of desperate men!

William Shakespeare

Her eyes met his, but she looked quickly away; entangling gazes with Will was confusing at best, dizzying at worst.

If you hear how wonderful you are often enough, you begin to believe it, no matter how you try to resist it.

Ben Carson
