Famous Quotes & Sayings

Zac Goldsmith

If you tell people, 'that old banger of yours, we're going to tax the hell out of it,' they'll rightly tell you to get lost.

Wen Jiabao

China is a main energy consumer and, therefore, is also a big greenhouse gas emitter. We must use energy resources rationally and must conserve.

I'm always interested in how people, myself included, have ideas of themselves, of how they thought they would be, or of how they want to be seen.

Vincent Millay

Well, I have lost you; and I lost you fairly;In my own way, and with my full consent.Say what you will, kings in a tumbrel rarelyWent to their deaths more proud than this one went.Some nights of apprehension and hot weepingI will confess; but that's permitted me;Day dried my eyes; I was not one for keepingRubbed in a cage a wing that would be free.If I had loved you less or played you slylyI might have held you for a summer more,But at the cost of words I value highly,And no such summer as the one before.Should I outlive this anguish-and men do-I shall have only good to say of you.
