“If there was one lesson to be drawn from Bush's appearance (on 'Meet the Press') it's that he doesn't have to be forthcoming or honest. And he's the first to tell you why. (Bush:) 'I'm a war president.' He added: 'I guess I should have told you that back in 2000.'” IfsShouldFirstsWarPresidentHonestLessonsShould HavePressesAppearanceForthcoming Author:Jon Stewart

“The irrevocable Hand That opes the year's fair gate, doth ope and shut The portals of our earthly destinies; We walk through blindfold, and the noiseless doors Close after us, for ever.

“There can be - there ought to be - no medium course; a love-affair is either sober earnest or contemptible folly, if not wickedness: to gossip about it is, in the first instance, intrusive, unkind, or dangerous; in the second, simply silly.” IfsFirstsCoursesDangerousOughtAffairSillyMediumsInstanceFollyGossipSoberWickednessEarnestLove AffairUnkind Author:Dinah Maria Murlock Craik
“Gossip, public, private, social - to fight against it either by word or pen seems, after all, like fighting with shadows. Everybody laughs at it, protests against it, blames and despises it; yet everybody does it, or at least encourages others in it: quite innocently, unconsciously, in such a small, harmless fashion - yet we do it. We must talk about something, and it is not all of us who can find a rational topic of conversation, or discuss it when found.” DoeSeemsFightingFoundSocialLaughingFashionConversationShadowBlameRationalProtestPensGossipDespiseTopics Author:Dinah Maria Murlock Craik
“Let every one of us cultivate, in every word that issues from our mouth, absolute truth. I say cultivate, because to very few people - as may be noticed of most young children - does truth, this rigid, literal veracity, come by nature. To many, even who love it and prize it dearly in others, it comes only after the self-control, watchfulness, and bitter experience of years.” PeopleYearsMayChildrenDoeSelfYoungIssuesMouthsAbsolutesBitterPrizeSelf ControlLiteralYoung ChildrenAbsolute TruthVeracityWatchfulnessBitter Experience Author:Dinah Maria Murlock Craik
“Do your neighbour good by all means in your power, moral as well as physical - by kindness, by patience, by unflinching resistance against every outward evil - by the silent preaching of your own contrary life. But if the only good you can do him is by talking at him, or about him - nay, even to him, if it be in a self-satisfied, super-virtuous style - such as I earnestly hope the present writer is not doing - you had much better leave him alone.” IfsWellsMeanSelfEvilCan DoTalkingMoralKindnessStyleSilentContrarySatisfiedResistanceVirtuousPreachingNeighbourDoing You Author:Dinah Maria Murlock Craik

“To have loved and lost, either by that total disenchantment which leaves compassion as the sole substitute for love which can exist no more, or by the slow torment which is obliged to let go day by day all that constitutes the diviner part of love - namely, reverence, belief, and trust, yet clings desperately to the only thing left it, a long-suffering apologetic tenderness - this lot is probably the hardest any woman can have to bear.” LongSufferingBeliefLostLeftCompassionBearsLetting GoHardestSubstitutesReverenceSoleTendernessTormentObligedApologeticLong SufferingDisenchantmentLoved And Lost Author:Dinah Maria Murlock Craik
