It is the most powerful law of nature." ― Edmund Burke Topic(s): Change More From Edmund Burke "Poetry is the art of substantiating shadows, and of lending existence to nothing."

If the laws are their enemies, they will be enemies to the law; and those who have most to hope and nothing to lose will always be dangerous." "Beauty is the promise of happiness."

These give us the ultimate human freedom… The power to choose, to respond, to change."― Stephen Covey "It took me so many years to move out. I’m definitely a bit of a Peter Pan, reluctant to grow up. It all seemed really nice at home-why change it? Part of me would prefer not to have any responsibility whatsoever."― Helena Bonham Carter
