Canned Quotes (page 490)

I can no longer refuse myself the pleasure of profiting by your kind invitation when we last parted of spending some weeks with you at Churchhill, and, therefore, if quite convenient to you and Mrs. Vernon to receive me at present, I shall hope within a few days to be introduced to a sister whom I have so long desired to be acquainted with. My kind friends here are most affectionately urgent with me to prolong my stay, but their hospitable and cheerful dispositions lead them too much into... Jane Austen

There ain’t a gen’lm’n in all the land – nor yet sailing upon all the sea – that can love his lady more than I love her. Charles Dickens
What we are trying to do at Virgin is not to have one enormous company in one sector under one banner, but to have two hundred or even three hundred separate companies. Each company can stand on its own feet and, in that way, although we've got a brand that links them, if we were to have another tragedy such as that of 11 September - which hurt the airline industry - it would not bring the whole group crashing down. Richard Branson
Once you call something a story, it's set in stone. It has a beginning, a middle, and an end that can't be transformed, because by definition, if you do that, it's not the same story anymore Jodi Picoult
Ralph Waldo Emerson quote: "I grieve that grief can teach me nothing."
I grieve that grief can teach me nothing. Ralph Waldo Emerson
An atheist is someone who is certain that God does not exist, someone who has compelling evidence against the existence of God. I know of no such compelling evidence. Because God can be relegated to remote times and places and to ultimate causes, we would have to know a great deal more about the universe than we do now to be sure that no such God exists. To be certain of the existence of God and to be certain of the nonexistence of God seem to me to be the confident extremes in a subject so... Carl Sagan
You've always lived here, right?" Sarah asked."Except for the years I went to college."Didn't you ever want to move away? To experience something new?"Like bistros?"She nudged him playfully with her elbow. "No, not just that. Cities have a vibrancy, a sense of excitement that you can't find in a small town."I don't doubt it. But to be honest, I've never been interested in things like that. I don't need those things to make me happy. A nice quiet place to unwind at the end of the day,... Nicholas Sparks
And no business can possibly equate happy workers (community) with profit (effectiveness). Happy workers are much more productive workers and hence contribute to profit, but no organization is formed for the idea of pleasing its employees. Harvey Pekar
Renouncing things is less difficult than people believe: it's all a matter of getting started. Once you've succeeded in dispensing with something you thought essential, you realize you can also do without something else, then without many other things. Italo Calvino
George R. R. Martin quote: "Never forget what you are. The rest of the world will not...."
Never forget what you are. The rest of the world will not. Wear it like armor, and it can never be used to hurt you. George R. R. Martin

Of all mammals, only a human being can say 'no. Jerzy Kosinski
P. G. Wodehouse quote: "If England wants a happy, well-fed aristocracy, she mustn't..."
If England wants a happy, well-fed aristocracy, she mustn't have wars. She can't have it both ways. P. G. Wodehouse
I was confident that I was a special person. But time slowly chips away at life. People don't just die when their time comes. They gradually die away, from the inside. And finally the day comes when you have to settle accounts. Nobody can escape it. People have to pay the price for what they've received. I have only just learned that truth. Haruki Murakami
I am proud of my heart alone, it is the sole source of everything, all our strenght, happiness & misery. All the knowledge I possess everyone else can acquire, but my heart is all my own Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
