“SATIETY, n. The feeling that one has for the plate after he has eaten its contents, madam.”
Ambrose Bierce
“When you look at the inner workings of electrical things, you see wires. Until the current passes through them, there will be no light. That wire is you and me. The current is God. We have the power to let the current pass through us, use us, to produce the light of the world, Jesus, in us. Or we can refuse to be used and allow darkness to spread.”
Mother Teresa
“We can never judge the lives of others, because each person knows only their own pain and renunciation. It's one thing to feel that you are on the right path, but it's another to think that yours is the only path.”
Paulo Coelho
“Madame, it is an old word and each one takes it new and wears it out himself. It is a word that fills with meaning as a bladder with air and the meaning goes out of it as quickly. It may be punctured as a bladder is punctured and patched and blown up again and if you have not had it does not exist for you. All people talk of it, but those who have had it are marked by it, and I would not wish to speak of it further since of all things it is the most ridiculous to talk of and only fools go through it many times.”
Ernest Hemingway
“Madam, there's no such thing as a tough child - if you parboil them first for seven hours, they always come out tender.”
W. C. Fields
“Madam, I may not call you; mistress I am ashamed to call you; and so I know not what to call you; but howsoever, I thank you.”
Elizabeth I
“Seems, madam!Nay, it is; I know not "seems".”
William Shakespeare
