You young people can lend your bodies now, play with them, give them as we could not. But remember that you have paid a price: that of a world rich in mystery and delicate emotion. It is not only species of animal that die out. But whole species of feelings. And if you are wise, you will never pity the past for what it did not know. But pity yourself for what it did.

I would rather have a mind opened by wonder than one closed by belief.

Gerry Spence

I think writing really helps you heal yourself. I think if you write long enough, you will be a healthy person. That is, if you write what you need to write, as opposed to what will make money, or what will make fame.

Alice Walker

We were meant to give our lives away. Spend more time living your legacy instead of worrying about leaving it.

Lee J. Colan

Sometimes I feel like there are people just waiting for me to fall. The funny thing is, I can't give them anything. I have just never been a partier, even in school.

Jordin Sparks

One of the unsung freedoms that go with a free press is the freedom not to read it.

Ferdinand Mount

I think if you went back to the eighteenth century and you asked a fifteen year old boy, 'Would you like to marry a woman who has had plastic bags needlessly inserted into her breasts?', that fifteen year old boy would probably be like, 'what's plastic?'.

John Green

Abuse a man unjustly, and you will make friends for him.

Edward W. Howe

It hath and schal ben everemor That love is maister wher he wile.

John Gower

The secret of success is concentrating interest in life, interest in sports and good times, interest in your studies, interest in your fellow students, interest in the small things of nature, insects, birds, flowers, leaves, etc. In other words to be fully awake to everything about you

LeRoy Pollock

We too often forget that not only is there a soul of goodness in things evil, but very generally also, a soul of truth in things erroneous.

Herbert Spencer

The greatest truths are wronged if not linked with beauty, and they win their way most surely and deeply into the soul when arrayed in this their natural and fit attire.

William Ellery Channing

All things will be produced in superior quantity and quality, and with greater ease, when each man works at a single occupation, in accordance with his natural gifts, and at the right moment, without meddling with anything else.

Plato
