His words are bonds, his oaths are oracles; his love sincere, his thoughts immaculate; his tears pure messengers sent from his heart; his heart as far from fraud, as heaven from earth

The aim of education is the knowledge not of facts but of values.

William Ralph Inge

In peace, as a wise man, he should make suitable preparation for war.

Horace

A man is known by the books he reads.

Ralph Waldo Emerson

So I learned then, that gold in it's native state is but dull, unornamental stuff, and that only low-born metals excite the admiration of the ignorant with an ostentatious glitter.

Mark Twain

It is all right letting yourself go, as long as you can get yourself back.

Mick Jagger

The practice of executing such offenders is a relic of the past and is inconsistent with evolving standards of decency in a civilized society.

John Paul Stevens

When a natural discourse paints a passion or an effect, one feels within oneself the truth of what one reads, which was there before, although one did not know it. Hence one is inclined to love him who makes us feel it, for he has not shown us his own riches, but ours.

Blaise Pascal

This is love, and the trouble with it: it can make you embarrassed. Love is really liking someone a whole lot and not wanting to screw that up. Everybody's chewed over this. This unites us, this part of love.

Daniel Handler

Nostalgia isn't what it used to be.

Simone Signoret

If a pig could give his mind to anything, he would not be a pig.

Charles Dickens

I have three daughters, so I can't be as tough as I want to be. When you have kids - especially daughters - they know how to work you. They're a lot smarter than we are, that's for sure. But I'll be more tough on their boyfriends.

Tim McGraw

Elegance is refusal.

Coco Chanel
