If only we'd stop trying to be happy, we could have a pretty good time. 

~Edith Wharton 

The best way to know God is to love many things. 

~Vincent van Gogh

Some men see things as they are and ask why. Others dream things that never were and ask why not. 

~George Bernard Shaw

Let us have faith that right makes might; and in that faith let us dare to do our duty as we understand it. 

~Aberham Lincoln

It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity, it was the season of Light, it was the season of Darkness, it was the spring of hope, it was the winter of despair, we had everything before us, we had nothing before us, we were all going direct to heaven, we were all doing direct the other way--in short, the period was so far like the present period, that some of its noisiest authorities insisted on its being received, for good or for evil, in the superlative degree of comparison only. 

~Charles Dickens, opening line of A Tale of Two Cities
