Vandana ShivaGrace is always natural, though that does not prevent its being often used to hide a lie. The rude shocks and uncomfortably constraining influences of life disappear among graceful women and poetical men; they are the most deceptive beings in creation; distrust and doubt cannot stand before them; they create what they imagine; if they do not lie to others, they do to their own hearts; for illusion is their element, fiction their vocation, and pleasures in appearance their happiness. Beware of grace in woman, and poetry in man -- weapons the more dangerous because the least dreaded!

How can we expect democracy when we have reared slaves? Real freedom begins at the beginning of life, not at the adult stage.

Thomas S. MonsonYou can always tell when a woman is with the wrong man, because she has so much to say about the fact that nothing's happening.
