“There is something inexpressibly charming in falling in love and, surely, the whole pleasure lies in the fact that love isn't lasting”
Moliere
“A babe in the house is a well-spring of pleasure, a messenger of peace and love, a resting place for innocence on earth, a link between angels and men”
Martin Fraquhar Tupper
“Can an ass be tragic? To perish under a burden one can neither bear nor throw off? The case of the philosopher.”
Friedrich Nietzsche
“If God's love encompasses the whole world and if everyone who does not believe in him will perish, then surely this question needs to be asked: When, after two thousand years, does God's plan kick in for the billion people he "so loves" in China? Or for the 840 million in India? Or the millions in Japan, Afghanistan, Siberia, Egypt, Burma - and on and on?”
Charles Templeton
“The great tragedy of life is not that men perish, but that they cease to love.”
William Somerset Maugham
“The word that is heard perishes, but the letter that is written remains.”
Proverb
“When a nation goes down, or a society perishes, one condition may always be found; they forgot where they came from. They lost sight of what had brought them along.”
Carl Sandburg
