Paul Valery
We are enriched by our reciprocate differences.

Abigail Van Buren
The best index to a person's character is
(a) how he treats people who can't do him any good,
and (b) how he treats people who can't fight back.
~Abigail Van Buren~
Henry Van Dyke
Use what talents you possess;
the woods would be very silent
if no birds sang except those that sang best.
~Henry Van Dyke~
Love
many things, for therein lies the true strength,
and whosoever loves much performs much,
and can accomplish much,
and what is done in love is done well.
~Vincent Van Gogh~
If one feels the need of something grand,
something infinite, something that
makes one feel aware of God,
one need not go far to find it.
I think that I see something deeper,
more infinite, more eternal
than the ocean in the expression of the eyes
of a little baby when it wakes in the morning
and coos or laughs because it sees
the sun shining on its cradle.
~Vincent Van Gogh~
Ivanla Vanzant
Our minds work like a garden.
It is fertile ground that accepts
any and everything we plant.
Good or evil, constructive or destructive,
our lives will bear the fruit of
the seeds we plant in our minds.
~Ivanla Vanzant~
Mildred B. Vermont
Being
a full-time mother
is one of the highest salaried jobs
in my field, since the payment is
pure love.
~Mildred B. Vermont~
John Vianney
If
something uncharitable is said in your presence,
either speak in favor of the absent,
or withdraw, or, if possible,
stop the conversation.
~St. John Vianney~
Leonardo da Vinci
Who sows virtue reaps honor.
~Leonardo da Vinci~
David Viscott
To fail is a natural consequence of trying,
To succeed takes time
and prolonged effort
in the face of unfriendly odds.
To think it will be any other way,
no matter what you do,
is to invite yourself to be hurt
and to limit your enthusiasm
for trying again.
~David Viscott~
Carl Hermann Voss
Courage is what it takes to stand up and speak;
Courage is also what it takes to sit down and listen.
~Carl Hermann Voss~
Voltaire
I disapprove of what you say,
but will defend to the death
your right to say it.
~Voltaire~
