Famous Quotes & Sayings

Henry David Thoreau

The voice of nature is always encouraging.

R. Buckminster Fuller

Thou mayest as well expect to grow stronger by always eating as wiser by always reading. Too much overcharges Nature, and turns more into disease than nourishment. 'Tis thought and digestion which makes books serviceable, and give health and vigor to the mind.

Leonardo da Vinci

... we might say that the earth has a spirit of growth; that its flesh is the soil, its bones the arrangement and connection of the rocks of which the mountains are composed, its cartilage the tufa, and its blood the springs of water.

Oscar Wilde

It seems to me that we all look at Nature too much, and live with her too little.

Oscar Wilde

The only thing that one really knows about human nature is that it changes. Change is the one quality we can predicate of it. The systems that fail are those that rely on the permanency of human nature, and not on its growth and development. The error of Louis XIV was that he thought human nature would always be the same. The result of his error was the French Revolution. It was an admirable result.

Pope John Paul II

The earth will not continue to offer its harvest, except with faithful stewardship. We cannot say we love the land and then take steps to destroy it for use by future generations.

Piet Mondrian

Nature or, that which I see, inspires me, puts me, as with any painter, in an emotional state so that an urge comes about to make something, but I want to come as close as possible to the truth and abstract everything from that, until I reach the foundation, still just an external foundation, of things...

Pope Francis

There can be no renewal of our relationship with nature without a renewal of humanity itself.

Pope Francis

The Church, in her wisdom, maintains the distinction between engaged and married couples -- they are not the same, today's culture and society have become rather indifferent to the delicate and serious nature of this passage.

Ann Rule

Anfering sex for money is not a profession that glorifies women; it is a profession born of desperation, poverty, alieatioin, and loneliness.

Anatole Broyard

Sex almost always disappoints me in novels. Everything can be said or done now, and that's what I often find: everything, a feeling of generality or dispersal. But in my experience, true sex is so particular, so peculiar to the person who yearns for it. Only he or she, and no one else, would desire so very much that very person under those circumstances. In fiction, I miss that sense of terrific specificity.

Anatole France

It is not easy to be a pretty woman without causing mischief.

Anatole France

A woman without breasts is like a bed without pillows.

Anais Nin

I had a feeling that Pandora's box contained the mysteries of woman's sensuality, so different from a man's and for which man's language was so inadequate. The language of sex had yet to be invented. The language of the senses was yet to be explored.

Anais Nin

Only the united beat of sex and heart together can create ecstasy.

Amanda Seyfried

I actually grew up thinking that sex was absolutely terrifying and that it would kill you.

Anne Edwards

She represented the distilled essence of the battle between the sexes.

Anne Enright

I am a trembling mess from hip to knee. There is a terrible heat, a looseness in my innards that makes me want to dig my fists between my thighs. It is a confusing feeling - somewhere between diarrhoea and sex - this grief that is almost genital.

Brianna Schooley

I've seen the video and still can't believe it. I will always remember the cheering and how great it felt when I scored with 1:28 left to play. That moment will always be very special to me.

Tad Perry

I've worked carefully with our internal people to make sure we follow the open meetings laws. I believe we did in this case.

Tiger Woods

I've won four and, I tell you what, it's hard to believe really, just because it's the Masters. This is something every kid dreams of playing in, and, hopefully, one day even winning it. To have the opportunity to win four already is the thrill of the lifetime.

Mitch Lasky

I've witnessed first hand the impact the Benchmark team has had on new ventures, and I believe their commitment to the entrepreneur and dedication to building companies of lasting value really set the firm apart.

Luke Donald

I've still got to believe that I can (win). If I play really great golf, then I've got a chance to win around here.

Amanda Crew

I've never seen any ghost, but I definitely believe that there's some sort of something spiritual out there. I mean, there has to be.

Turner Stevenson

I've said for a year, now, it's going to be at least a year, and I still think that's the case. No Stanley Cup handed out this year. Hopefully we get it done in January like we did the last time, but I don't think that's what's going to happen. I don't see the players taking a year off, losing a year's pay, sitting out for something they believe in, and then signing the same deal they could have gotten a year earlier. That's not going to happen.

Walter Willett

It would be a huge misinterpretation to believe that it doesn't matter what we eat to prevent heart disease and cancer.

Matti Vanhanen

It would be more correct to say that the EU is in difficulties. I am not taking issue with whether or not there are problems in the leadership ... I do not necessarily believe in an authoritarian style of leadership where democracy is concerned
