        Abraham Lincoln   Best?
  • A friend is a present you give yourself.
        Robert Louis Stevenson   Best?
  • This soil is bad for certain kinds of flowers. Certain seeds it will not nurture, certain fruits it will not bear. And when the land kills of its own volition, we acquiesce and say that the victim had no right to live. We're wrong, of course... but among the sunflowers and the garbage of my town, it's much, much, much too late.
        Toni Morrison   Best?
  • Blood is inherited and virtue is acquired.
        Venezuelan Proverb   Best?

        Raymond Loewy   Best?
  • It's not the critic who counts. Not the man who points out how the doer of deeds might have done them better. Instead, the credit belongs to the man in the arena whose face is marred by sweat and blood and tears.
        Theodore Roosevelt   Best?
  • In the beginning there was nothing. God said, 'Let there be light!' And there was light. There was still nothing, but you could see it a whole lot better.
        Ellen DeGeneres   Best?
  • Older men declare war. But it is youth that must fight and die. And it is youth who must inherit the tribulation, the sorrow, and the triumphs that are aftermath of war.
        Herbert Hoover   Best?
  • A rock pile ceases to be a rock pile the moment a single man contemplates it, bearing within him the image of a cathedral.
        Antoine de Saint-Exupery   Best?

        Voltaire   Best?
  • He is not deemed to give consent who is under a mistake.
        Unknown   Best?
  • Never give in--never, never, never, never, in nothing great or small, large or petty, never give in except to convictions of honour and good sense. Never yield to force; never yield to the apparently overwhelming might of the enemy.
        Franklin D. Roosevelt   Best?
  • I don't know much about history, and I wouldn't give a nickel for all the history in the world. History is more or less bunk. It is tradition. We want to live in the present, and the only history that is worth a tinker's damn is the history we make today.
        Henry Ford   Best?
  • It is quality rather than quantity that matters.
        Seneca   Best?

        Woody Allen   Best?
  • The basic fact about human existence is not that it is a tragedy, but that it is a bore.
        Henry Louis Mencken   Best?
  • Love anything and your heart will be wrung and possibly broken. If you want to make sure of keeping it intact you must give it to no one, not even an animal. Wrap it carefully round with hobbies and little luxuries; avoid all entanglements. Lock it up safe in the casket or coffin of your selfishness. But in that casket--safe, dark, motionless, airless--it will change. It will not be broken; it will become unbreakable, impenetrable, irredeemable. To love is to be vulnerable.
        C. S. Lewis   Best?
  • Never give advice...
        Unknown   Best?
  • It is well to give when asked but it is better to give unasked, through understanding.
        Kahlil Gibran   Best?
  • Get not your friends by bare compliments, but by giving them sensible tokens of your love.
        Socrates   Best?
  • The secret of eternal youth is arrested development.
        Alice Roosevelt Longworth   Best?
  • Maturity is the ability to do a job whether or not you are supervised, to carry money without spending it and to bear an injustice without wanting to get even.
        Ann Landers   Best?
  • Alas! While the speculative honourable professor explains the entire existence has he in distraction forgotten his own name, that he is a man, purely and simply a man, not a fantastic 3
        Soren Kierkegaard   Best?
  • As far as we can discern, the sole purpose of existence is to kindle a light in the darkness of being.
        Carl Jung   Best?
  • My lesbianism is an act of Christian charity. All those women out there praying for a man, and I'm giving them my share.
        Rita Mae Brown   Best?
  • I'm glad the President finally found an economic development program. I'm just sad that it's only in Baghdad.
        John Kerry   Best?
  • If you want to build a ship, don't drum up the men to gather wood, divide the work and give orders. Instead, teach them to yearn for the vast and endless sea.
        Antoine de Saint-Exupery   Best?
  • Where you start is not as important as where you finish.

        John F. Kennedy   Best?
  • Marriage is the golden ring in a chain, whose beginning is a glance and whose ending is eternity.
        Kahlil Gibran   Best?
  • Some people surrender their freedom willingly but others are forced to surrender it. Imprisonment begins with birth. Society, parents they refuse to allow you to keep the freedom you were born with. There are subtle ways to punish a person for daring to feel. You see that everyone around you has destroyed his true feeling nature. You imitate what you see.
        Jim Morrison   Best?
  • Hope begins in the dark, the stubborn hope that if you just show up and try to do the right thing, the dawn will come. You wait and watch and work: You don't give up.
