Here is the world, sound as a nut, perfect, not the smallest piece of chaos left, never a stitch nor an end, not a mark of haste, or botching, or second thought; but the theory of the world is a thing of shreds and patches

We all fall sometime but it's those that get back up and try again that make the difference.

Gary Revel

Well had the boding tremblers learned to trace the day's disasters in his morning face.

Oliver Goldsmith

Associate with men of good quality if you esteem your own reputation for it is better to be alone than in bad company.

George Washington

The question before the human race is, whether the God of nature shall govern the world by his own laws, or whether priests and kings shall rule it by fictitious miracles.

John Adams

Every reader finds himself. The writer's work is merely a kind of optical instrument that makes it possible for the reader to discern what, without this book, he would perhaps never have seen in himself.

Marcel Proust

My father must have had some elementary education for he could read and write and keep accounts inaccurately

George Bernard Shaw

In the moment before I crossed over, I knew that the priests and magicians of Egypt were fools and charlatans for promising to prolong the beauties of life beyond the world we are give. Death is no enemy, but the foundation of gratitude, sympathy, and art. All of life's pleasures, only love owes no debt to death.

Anita Diamant

Nothing will benefit human health and increase the chances for survival of life on Earth as much as the evolution to a vegetarian diet

Albert Einstein

If you don't die of thirst, there are blessings in the desert. You can be pulled into limitlessness, which we all yearn for, or you can do the beauty of minutiae, the scrimshaw of tiny and precise. The sky is your ocean, and the crystal silence will uplift you like great gospel music, or Neil Young.

Anne Lamott

You send a boy to school in order to make friends - the right sort.

Virginia Woolf

Make friends with the angels, who though invisible are always with you. Often invoke them, constantly praise them, and make good use of their help and assistance in all your temporal and spiritual affairs.

Saint Francis de Sales

The free way of life proposes ends, but it does not prescribe means.

Robert Francis Kennedy
