The woman who first gives life, light, and form to our shadowy conceptions of beauty, fills a void in our spiritual nature that has remained unknown to us till she appeared. Sympathies that lie too deep for words, too deep almost for thoughts, are touched, at such times, by other charms than those which the senses feel and which the resources of expression can realise. The mystery which underlies the beauty of women is never raised above the reach of all expression until it has claimed kindred with the deeper mystery in our own souls.

You punch me, I punch back. I do not believe it's good for ones self-respect to be a punching bag.

Edward Koch

When you form a team, why do you try to form a team? Because teamwork builds trust and trust builds speed.

Russel Honore

I have seen gleams in the face and eyes of the man that have let you look into a higher country.

Thomas Carlyle

Most ignorance is evincible ignorance. We don't know because we don't want to know.

Aldous Huxley

The whole imposing edifice of modern medicine is like the celebrated tower of Pisa --slightly off balance.

Prince Of Wales Charles

Life is funny and it is interesting how we make it as serious as possible.

Elisha Cuthbert

Above all, though, children are linked to adults by the simple fact that they are in process of turning into them. For this they may be forgiven much. Children are bound to be inferior to adults, or there is no incentive to grow up.

Philip Larkin

There exist only three beings worthy of respect: the priest, the soldier, the poet. To know, to kill, to create.

Charles Baudelaire

France has sincerely wished peace, and their seducers have wished war, as well for the loaves and fishes which arise out of war expenses, as for the chance of changing the Constitution

Thomas Jefferson

If we have the courage and tenacity of our forebears, who stood firmly like a rock against the lash of slavery, we shall find a way to do for our day what they did for theirs.

Mary McLeod Bethune

I am reminded of the professor who, in his declining hours, was asked by his devoted pupils for his final counsel. He replied, 'Verify your quotations.'

Sir Winston Churchill, quoted in

The creed of a true saint is to make the best of life, and to make the most of it.
