War is created by people who are too old to fight for those who are too young to die.
Vikrant Parsai
The greater the effort, the greater the glory.
Pierre Corneille
Love is the force that transforms and improves the Soul of the World. It is we who nourish the Soul of the World, and the world we live in will be either better or worse, depending on whether we become better or worse. And that's where the power of love comes in. Because when we love, we always strive to become better than we are.
Paulo Coelho
Never, "for the sake of peace and quiet," deny your own experience or convictions.
Dag Hammarskjld
War forgets peace. Peace forgives war. War is the death of the life human. Peace is the birth of the Life Divine. Our vital passions want war. Our psychic emotions desire peace.
Sri Chinmoy
We often take for granted the very things that most deserve our gratitude.
Cynthia Ozick
Friends are the thermometer by which we may judge the temperature of our fortunes.
Lady Marguerite Blessington
There is no cosmetic for beauty like happiness.
Lady Marguerite Blessington
Love, friendship, respect, do not unite people as much as a common hatred for something.
Anton Pavlovich Chekhov
Don\'t forget - no one else sees the world the way you do, so no one else can tell the stories that you have to tell.
Charles de Lint
Everyone is down on pain, because they forget something important about it: Pain is for the living. Only the dead don't feel it.
Jim Butcher
For those who believe, no proof is necessary. For those who don't believe, no proof is possible.
Stuart Chase
Happiness is not a life without pain, but rather a life in which the pain is traded for a worthy price.
Orson Scott Card
Men do not shape destiny. Destiny produces the man for the hour.
Fidel Alejandro Castro Ruz
If you desire a man to tell you comfortable lies about your prowess, and so fetter any hope of true excellence, I'm sure you may find one anywhere. Not all prisons are made of iron bars. Some are made of feather beds.
Lois McMaster Bujold
