A gentleman is one who understands and shows every mark of deference to the claims of self-love in others, and exacts it in return from them. (William Hazlitt)

Douglas MacArthur
There is a point of no return, unremarked at the time, in most lives. View quote
Graham Greene
Perhaps they needn't even believe - it was enough that they needed angels, and the angels would return gladly. View quote
Paulo Coelho
Once, when I was younger, I thought I could be someone else. I'd move to Casablanca, open a bar, and I'd meet Ingrid Bergman. Or more realistically - whether actually more realistic or not - I'd tune in on a better life, something more suited to my true self. Toward that end, I had to undergo training. I read The Greening of America, and I saw Easy Rider three times. But like a boat with a twisted rudder, I kept coming back to the same place. I wasn't anywhere. I was myself, waiting on the shore for me to return. View quote
Haruki Murakami
The meteor flag of England Shall yet terrific burn, Till danger's troubled night depart, And the star of peace return. View quote
Thomas Campbell
When I feel overwhelmed by misfortune, the greatest joy that the Lord can give me is to go to the altar, to put my forehead against it (as on the day of my ordination to the priesthood), and to feel the presence of the only reality. Not only does calm return, but my body seems to be annihilated; the only true life begins, the life of that which is intangible. View quote
Leonid Feodorov
Time is flying never to return. View quote
Virgil
All that is harmony for you, my Universe, is in harmony with me as well. Nothing that comes at the right time for you is too early or too late for me. Everything is fruit to me that your seasons bring, Nature. All things come of you, have their being in you, and return to you. View quote
Marcus Aurelius
The answer is to let Israel say it will recognize a Palestinian state along the 1967 borders, release the prisoners, and recognize the rights of the refugees to return to Palestine. Hamas will have a position if this occurs. View quote
Ismail Haniyeh
Our federal government, which was intended to operate as a very limited constitutional republic, has instead become a virtually socialist leviathan that redistributes trillions of dollars. We can hardly be surprised when countless special interests fight for the money. The only true solution to the campaign money problem is a return to a proper constitutional government that does not control the economy. Big government and big campaign money go hand-in-hand. (Ron Paul)
The immaterial Blue colour shown at Iris Clert's in April [1958, together with Jean Tinguely ] had in short made me inhuman, had excluded me from the world of tangible reality; I was an extreme element of society who lived in space and who had no means of coming back to earth. Jean Tinguely saw me in space and signaled to me in speed to show me the last machine to take to return to the ephemerality of material life. View quote
Yves Klein

David Ricardo
The day of combination is here to stay. Individualism has gone, never to return. View quote

After my death, the molecules of my being will return to the earth and sky. They came from the stars. I am of the stars. View quote
Charles Lindbergh
We must recognise the essential underlaying savagery in the animal called man, and return to older and sounder principles of national life and defense. We must realise that man's nature will remain the same so long as he remains man; that civilisation is but a slight coverlet beneath which the dominant beast sleeps lightly and ever ready to awake. View quote
H. P. Lovecraft
Absolute time would exist in a causal structure for which the concept indeterminate as to time order lends to a unique simultaneity, i.e., for which there is no finite interval of time between the departure and return of a first-signal... View quote
Hans Reichenbach
Socialism is a return to primitive conditions. View quote
Henry Morton Stanley
I believe in one secret and ineffable Lord; and in one Star in the Company of Stars of whose fire we are created, and to which we shall return; and in one Father of Life, Mystery of Mystery, in His name Chaos, the sole viceregent of the Sun upon the Earth; and in one Air the nourisher of all that breathes. And I believe in one Earth, the Mother of us all, and in one Womb wherein all men are begotten, and wherein they shall rest, Mystery of Mystery, in Her name Babalon. View quote
Aleister Crowley
How should we like it were stars to burn With a passion for us we could not return? If equal affection cannot be, Let the more loving one be me. View quote
W. H. Auden
I and the public know What all schoolchildren learn, Those to whom evil is done Do evil in return. (W. H. Auden)
The older child who has lost or broken some valuable thing will be found when his parents return, not run away, not willing to confess, but in a deep sleep The thief whose case is being tried falls asleep. View quote
Margaret Mead
The first step in the direction of a world rule of law is the recognition that peace no longer is an unobtainable ideal but a necessary condition of continued human existence. But to take even this step we must return to a calm and responsible frame of mind in which we can face the long patient tasks ahead. View quote
Margaret Mead
To be whole is to be part; true voyage is return. View quote
Ursula K. Le Guin
Instead of gambling on the eternal impossibility of the revolution and on the fascist return of a war-machine in general, why not think that a new type of revolution is in the course of becoming possible, and that all kinds of mutating, living machines conduct wars, are combined and trace out a plane of consistance which undermines the plane of organization of the World and the States?
