Beauty is all very well at first sight but who ever looks at it when it has been in the house three days?

We are losing sight of civility in government and politics. Debate and dialogue is taking a back seat to the politics of destruction and anger and control. Dogma has replaced thoughtful discussion between people of differing views.

Anger and jealousy can no more bear to lose sight of their objects than love.

Of all the planets apart from Earth in our solar system Mars is the most hospitable. Yeah. Right. Better keep my visit short. And yet despite the discomfort the danger I love it here. I love coming back for these imaginary vacations. The sights are amazing.

Whatever you may look like marry a man your own age - as your beauty fades so will his eyesight.
