• I rejoice that liberty . . . now finds an asylum in the bosom of a regularly organized government; a government, which, being formed to secure happiness of the French people, corresponds with the ardent wishes of my heart, while it gratifies the pride of every citizen of the United States, by its resemblance to their own.

• When we shoot an arrow, we look to the fall of it; when we send a ship to sea, we look for its return; and when we sow seed, we look for a harvest; so likewise when we sow our prayers, through Christ, in God's bosom, shall we not look for an answer and observe how we speed? It is a seed of atheism to pray and not to look how we speed. But a sincere Christian will pray and wait, and strengthen his heart with promises out of the Word, and never leave praying and looking up till God gives him a gracious answer.

  Richard Sibbes

I could lose 20 pounds and I'm still going to have these knockers and I'm going to have this ass, and that's just the way it is.

• Behind my work was ambition, behind my love was personality, behind my purity was fear, behind my guidance the thirst for power. Now they are vanishing and I drift.

• It is sad
  To see the light of beauty wane away,
  Know eyes are dimming, bosoms shrivelling, feet
  Losing their springs, and limbs their lily roundness;
  But it is worse to feel the heart-spring gone,
  To lose hope, care not for the coming thing,
  And feel all things go to decay within us.

  Philip James Bailey
