No one was more shocked or angry than I was when we didn’t find the weapons. I had a sickening feeling every time I thought about it. I still do.
George W. BushIt sometimes makes people feel better about themselves, you know, to put other people down, or make fun of them, or maybe make mockery of their work and that doesn’t make me feel good at all.
Lady GagaAs human beings, we are all not conducting just one narrative but many narratives all at the same time.

Bill GatesAllow children to be happy in their own way, for what better way will they find?
Samuel JohnsonIf you love those who love you, what credit is that to you? For even sinners love those who love them. And if you do good to those who do good to you, what credit is that to you? For even sinners do the same.

Russell M. NelsonWe must, I believe, start teaching our children the sanity of nonviolence much earlier.
Alice WalkerA people do not throw their geniuses away. And if they are thrown away, it is our duty as artists and as witnesses for the future to collect them again for the sake of our children and, if necessary, bone by bone.
Alice WalkerI have a collective sense of suffering.

Robert KiyosakiIn our ecclesiastical region there are priests who don’t baptize the children of single mothers because they weren’t conceived in the sanctity of marriage. These are today’s hypocrites. Those who clericalize the church. Those who separate the people of God from salvation.
Pope FrancisLearning to live for others isn’t something that just comes naturally to anybody. You have to train yourself to do it.

Kevin GatesSome people never go crazy, What truly horrible lives they must live.

Bad BunnyThe good man is the friend of all living things.
Mahatma GandhiCensorship is the tool of those who have the need to hide actualities from themselves and from others. Their fear is only their inability to face what is real, and I can’t vent any anger against them; I only feel this appalling sadness. Somewhere in their upbringing, they were shielded against the total facts of our existence.
Charles BukowskiThe pursuit of truth and beauty is a sphere of activity in which we are permitted to remain children all our lives.

Alice WalkerMy mother taught children to love to dance.
Abby Lee MillerThe idea that there is one kind of African is, of course, ridiculous. Sometimes African entrepreneurs want to kill you because you are saying public health is the priority, not roads. Of course they are right to press for that issue, but so are we right, I believe, to argue, for example, that millions of children could and should be vaccinated.
BonoMy first job in all honesty is going to continue to be mom-in-chief. Making sure that in this transition, which will be even more of a transition for the girls… that they are settled and that they know they will continue to be the center of our universe.
Michelle ObamaHumanity is still advancing; and it will probably continue to advance for hundreds of thousands of years more, always on condition that we know how to keep the same line of advance as our ancestors towards ever greater consciousness and complexity.

Arnold SchwarzeneggerMothers are fonder than fathers of their children because they are more certain they are their own.

Dolly Parton
