I just have this fear that I'll get on stage and there'll be that brief moment of adrenalin and I'll forget my line.
If ministers forget their ruler and establish relationships with foreign powers in order to advance the interests of their confederates, there will be scant reason for subordinates to obey their superiors.
The sorrow for the dead is the only sorrow from which we refuse to be divorced. Every other wound we seek to heal - every other affliction to forget: but this wound we consider it a duty to keep open - this affliction we cherish and brood over in solitude.

Kids are really tougher than adults, but we tend to forget this in an affluent society that lets kids indulge themselves.
