Without leaps of imagination, or dreaming, we lose the excitement of possibilities. Dreaming, after all, is a form of planning.

When a subject is highly controversial... one cannot hope to tell the truth. One can only show how one came to hold whatever opinion one does hold. One can only give one's audience the chance of drawing their own conclusions as they observe the limitations, the prejudices, the idiosyncrasies of the speaker.

Virginia Woolf

Yes, peace can and must be won, to save the world from the terrible destruction of World War III.

Paul Robeson

The best way to get husbands to do something is to suggest that perhaps they are too old to do it.

Shirley MacLaine

Do not ask for what you will wish you had not got.

Seneca (Seneca the Elder)

I admit, that the brain does not govern the body as well as one might wish- else all men would be saints and hell would be empty of lechers.

Meredith Duran

Work spares us from three evils: boredom, vice, and need

Voltaire

It may be hard for an egg to turn into a bird: it would be a jolly sight harder for it to learn to fly while remaining an egg. We are like eggs at present. And you cannot go on indefinitely being just an ordinary, decent egg. We must be hatched or go bad.

C. S. Lewis

Grief can take care of itself, but to get the full value of joy must have somebody to divide it with.

Mark Twain

I stay in tune with my family and God.

Regina King

What is history? An echo of the past in the future a reflex from the future on the past.

Victor Hugo

I proclaim the inevitable advent of the universal republic. Not the transient backslidings, nor the darkness and the dread, nor the tragic difficulty of uplifting the world everywhere at once will prevent the fulfillment of international truth.

Henri Barbusse

I hope and hoping feeds my pain I weep and weeping feeds my failing heartI laugh but the laughter does not pass withinI burn but the burning makes no mark outside

Niccolo Machiavelli, Machiavelli
