Random Quotes and Quotations
 A man loves his sweetheart the most, his wife the best, but his mother the longest.  I am disgrac'd, impeach'd and baffled here, - Pierc'd to the soul with slander's venom'd spear. The brave man is not he who feels no fear, For that were stupid and irrational; But he, whose noble soul its fear subdues, And barely dares the danger nature shrinks from. Yes, you may depend upon it he has the ability! He is the younger generation that stands ready to knock at my door - to make an end of Halvard Solness. If a man would move the world, he must first move himself. - Socrates Some of the finest moral intuitions come to quite humble people. The visiting of lofty ideas doesn't depend on formal schooling. Think of those Galilean peasants. When I was preparing for this speech I asked my family for advice. One member replied, "There's a first time for everything, so try to be funny and brief." That all men are equal is a proposition to which, at ordinary times, no sane individual has ever given his assent. How I relate to my inner self influences my relationships with all others. My satisfaction with myself and my satisfaction with other people are directly proportional. I want to do it because I want to do it. None think the great unhappy, but the great. Under a government which imprisons any unjustly, the true place for a just man is also a prison. Forgiving means to pardon the unpardonable, faith means believing the unbelievable, and hoping means to hope when things are hopeless. The greater the difficulty, the more glory in surmounting it. - Epicurus Every life is many days, day after day. We walk through ourselves, meeting robbers, ghosts, giants, old men, young men, wives, widows, brothers-in-love. But always meeting ourselves. The House of Lords is like a glass of champagne that has stood for 5 days. When people ask me if I have any spare change, I tell them I have it at home in my spare wallet. Theirs not to make reply, Theirs not to reason why, Theirs but to do and die. Father calls me William, sister calls me Will, Mother calls me Willie, but the fellows call me Bill! Immature love says "I love you because I need you." Mature love says "I need you because I love you."
