wedding quotes I have no relish for the country; it is a kind of healthy grave.
~quotes on Country by Sydney Smith We seem as a nation to be suffering from a mania for play. The huge development of pleasure-chasing automobiles merely symbolizes our universal restless eagerness to be running after something, anything, that we can classify as diversion. Under pressure from tormenting constituents our legislatures are piling up holidays. And the cry of labor everywhere is Cut down hours; cut down hours, until it seems as if brief, tired minutes were all that would be left for work. The obvious deduction is that work is always something to be got rid of, as if it were a curse. Yet life is work.
~sayings on Labor by Author unknown, editorial from Labor Digest, June 1922, quoted in Quotations for Special Occasions b Do you know what it means to come home at night to a woman who'll give you a little love, a little affection, a little tenderness? It means you're in the wrong house, that's what it means.
~quotations on Marriage by Henny Youngman Civilization... wrecks the planet from seafloor to stratosphere.
~cute quotes and saying by Richard Bach A man that'd expict to thrain lobsters to fly in a year is called a loonytic; but a man that thinks men can be tur-rned into angels by an iliction is called a rayformer an' remains at large.

wedding quotes Truely man is the king of beasts, for his brutality exceeds theirs. We live by the death of others: we are burial places! I have from an early age abjured the use of meat, and the time will come when men such as I will look on the murder of animals as they now look on the murder of men.
~quote about Vegetarianism by Leonardo da Vinci Thanks to the Interstate Highway System, it is now possible to travel across the country from coast to coast without seeing anything.

~sayings on Jesus Christ by Author unknown, inscription on a Scottish castle The heart is a small thing, but desireth great matters. It is not sufficient for a kite's dinner, yet the whole world is not sufficient for it.
~quotations on Love by Francis Quarles, Emblems Everyone who is born holds dual citizenship, in the kingdom of the well and in the kingdom of the sickAlthough we all prefer to use only the good passport, sooner or later each of us is obliged, at least for a spell, to identify ourselves as citizens of t

~saying about cute by Tziporah Suffering is above, not belowAnd everyone thinks that suffering is belowAnd everyone wants to rise
~quote about Adversity by Antonio Porchia, Voces, 1943, translated from Spanish by W.S. Merwin Life... is like a box of chocolates - a cheap, thoughtless, perfunctory gift that no one ever asks for, unreturnable because all you get back is another box of chocolates. So, you're stuck with mostly undefinable whipped mint crap, mindlessly wolfed down when there's nothing else to eat while you're watching the game. Sure, once is a while you get a peanut butter cup or an English toffee but it's gone too fast and the taste is fleeting. In the end, you are left with nothing but broken bits filled with hardened jelly and teeth-shattering nuts, which, if you are desperate enough to eat, leaves nothing but an empty box of useless brown paper.
~quotes on Life by The X-Files Most of us would rather be ruined by praise than helped by criticism.
~sayings on Personality by People often say that this or that person has not yet found himself. But the self is not something one finds, it is something one creates.
~quotations on Self-Discovery by Thomas Szasz, Personal Conduct, The Second Sin, 1973 Order derived through submission and maintained by terror is not much of a safe guaranty; yet that is the only order that governments have ever maintained. True social harmony grows naturally out of solidarity of interests. In a society where those who always work never have anything, while those who never work enjoy everything, solidarity of interests is non-existent; hence social harmony is but a myth.... Thus the entire arsenal of governments - laws, police, soldiers, the courts, legislatures, prisons - is strenuously engaged in harmonizing the most antagonistic elements in society.
~cute quotes and saying by Emma Goldman, Anarchism To me faith means not worrying.
~saying about cute by John Dewey I couldn't wait for success... so I went ahead without it.
~quote about Success by Jonathan Winters Heaven is under our feet, as well as over our heads.
~quotes on Attitude by Henry David Thoreau Will urban sprawl spread so far that most people lose all touch with nature? Will the day come when the only bird a typical American child ever sees is a canary in a pet shop window? When the only wild animal he knows is a rat - glimpsed on a night drive through some city slum? When the only tree he touches is the cleverly fabricated plastic evergreen that shades his gifts on Christmas morning?
~sayings on Trees by Frank N. Ikard, North American Wildlife and Natural Resources Conference, Houston, March 1968 When one has too great a dread of what is impending, one feels some relief when the trouble has come.
~quotations on Worry by Joseph Joubert Optimism is the foundation of courage.
~cute quotes and saying by Nicholas Murray Butler The obscure we see eventually. The completely obvious, it seems, takes longer.
~saying about cute by Edward R. Murrow It takes two to lie. One to lie and one to listen.
~quote about Honesty by Homer Simpson, from the television show The Simpsons The hours I spend with you I look upon as sort of a perfumed garden, a dim twilight, and a fountain singing to itYou and you alone make me feel that I am aliveOther men it is said have seen angels, but I have seen thee and thou art enough
~quotes on Valentine's Day by George Moore The man who reads nothing at all is better educated than the man who reads nothing but newspapers.

~quotes on Goals by Each departed friend is a magnet that attracts us to the next world
~sayings on Death by Jean Paul Richter Youth is a wonderful thingWhat a crime to waste it on children
~quotations on Birthdays by George Bernard Shaw What’s done with pleasure is done full measure. Forced effort tires us three times as fast as enthusiastic effort. One life’s richest blessings is DOING WHAT COMES NATURALLY.
~cute quotes and saying by He loves his country best who strives to make it best
~saying about cute by Robert G. Ingersoll Why must conversions always come so late? Why do people always apologize to corpses?
~quote about Carpe Diem by David Brin There's a graveyard in northern France where all the dead boys from D-Day are buried. The white crosses reach from one horizon to the other. I remember looking it over and thinking it was a forest of graves. But the rows were like this, dizzying, diagonal, perfectly straight, so after all it wasn't a forest but an orchard of graves. Nothing to do with nature, unless you count human nature.
