Quotes:Our gardens are symbols of home rather than seduction.
Young people with fire in their blood are seldom found in them. The garden is the scene of middle age, of the slow passage from sexual excitement to domestic routine. [Financial Times]
View quotes by Roger ScrutonIt is an illusion that youth is happy, an illusion of those who have lost it; but the
young know they are wretched for they are full of the truthless ideal which have been instilled into them, and each time they come in contact with the real, they are bruised and wounded. - Of Human Bondage
View quotes by W Somerset MaughamNo
young man starting in life could have better capital than plenty of friends. They will strengthen his credit, support him in every great effort, and make him what, unaided, he could never be. Friends of the right sort will help him more - to be happy and successful - than much money...
View quotes by Orison Swett MardenThe
young boys that went to Athens, the first year, were wise men; the second year, philosophers, lovers of wisdom; the third year, mere orators; and the fourth but plebeians, and understood nothing but their own ignorance.
View quotes by MenedemusO thrush, your song is passing sweet,
But never a song that you have sung
Is half so sweet as thrushes sang
When my dear love and I were
young.
View quotes by William MorrisA floor length backless black sequined dress would be my dream dress.
As for my dream date - that would have to be a
young Marlon Brando!
View quotes by Rebecca HallTime and trouble will tame an advanced
young woman, but an advanced old woman is uncontrollable by any earthly force
View quotes by Dorothy L SayersI think I wanted to be on Top Gear from a fairly
young age because I loved cars and I wanted to do something on telly because I loved TV. I know that I’m ridiculously lucky
View quotes by Richard HammondThis is a court of law
young man, not a court of justice.
View quotes by Oliver Wendell HolmesWithout fullness of experience, length of days is nothing. When fullness of life has been achieved, shortness of days is nothing. That is perhaps why the
young have usually so little fear of death; they live by intensities that the elderly have forgotten.
View quotes by Lewis MumfordA sporting hero has been born in South Africa, and the country needs somebody
young, fresh, enthusiastic and committed. This is a guy who you know will climb Everest for South Africa. [on Graeme Smith]
View quotes by Ali BacherObviously it's very hard to leave a club that you've supported all your life. But the reason that I've come to Birmingham is that I think Steve Bruce is one of the best
young managers in the country and that Birmingham as a club is a sleeping giant
View quotes by David DunnI want to go back to a time when I was very
young, when you expected the police to be part of the community and the community to be part of policing.
View quotes by David BlunkettI warn you not to be ordinary, I warn you not to be
young, I warn you not to fall ill, and I warn you not to grow old.

View quotes by Neil KinnockIf my teenage daughter was in a back alley and she bumped into six
young men who'd either consumed 25 cans of Special Brew or smoked a few joints which would I rather happen?
I have to say I'd rather she met the guys who smoked the joints because the chances are they'd just fall over rather than try to rape her or mug her.
View quotes by Rosie BoycottSeptember 11 definitely opened our eyes, but when I was 19 or whatever on the last record, we just didn't care about anything. We were too
young to care about anything. And then as you get older, you don't really have any excuse to be stupid anymore, to be in the dark. That just kind of opened everyone's eyes (which I probably wish it did to more people) that there's obviously something wrong, to try and figure out what it is and what's going on in the world.
View quotes by Deryck WhibleyYoung singers ask me, 'Do I have to live in New York?'
I say, 'You can live wherever you want - as long as people think you live in New York.'
View quotes by Benita ValenteScience is nothing more than a method of inquiry. The method says an assertion is valid — and merits universal acceptance — only if it can be independently verified. The impersonal rigor of the method means it is utterly apolitical. A truth in science is verifiable whether you are black or white, male or female, old or
young. It's verifiable whether you like the results of a study, or you don't
View quotes by Michael CrichtonThe world has lost a religious leader who was revered across people of all faiths and none. He was an inspiration, a man of extraordinary faith, dignity and courage.
Throughout a hard and often difficult life, he stood for social justice and on the side of the oppressed, whether as a
young man facing the Nazi occupation in Poland or later in challenging the Communist regime.
He never wavered, never flinched, in the struggle for what he thought was good and right.
[on Pope John Paul II]
View quotes by Tony Blair'Six months before he died, my grand-father came to Australia to try to explain to me that he was dying. I was a
young kid, very much into myself at the time. I was busking on the streets just to make enough money to pay my rent, There was this Japanese restaurant I'd always wanted to eat at but couldn't afford, so I suggested we go there.' It was an unfortunate choice. In Weans' weakened condition, the smell of the rice and soya sauce brought back memories of the Second World War. 'We couldn't have the talk he wanted to,' says Crowe.
'The day he died, I was in the kitchen of a flat in Woollarah, (an eastern suburb of Sydney). 'Suddenly a kookaburra bird flew in the window. It just looked at me. I knew my grandfather had died. I phoned home and my mother confirmed it. 'I insisted the bird was my grandfather's spirit, but my mom would have nothing of it.'
One day last year, Crowe had a dream in which he was holding his mother and she was crying. He phoned home immediately.
'My mother said a woman who had worked closely with my grandfather had come to visit and, without prompting, had told her that on the day my grandfather died a bird had visited her as well. 'Learning this had reduced my mother to tears.'
Crowe says he believes that 'with all this talk of angels, maybe they are just birds sent to us by those who have crossed over.' Tuesday, March 14, 2000
