A relationship is like a rose, How long it lasts, no one knows Love can erase an awful past, Love can be yours, you'll see at last To feel that love, it makes you sigh, To have it leave, you'd rather die You hope you've found that special rose, 'Cause you love and care for the one you chose. – Rob Cella
I leave this rule for others when I'm dead, Be always sure you're right--then go ahead. – Davy Crockett
If you leave home for a while ... you question the conventional wisdom you've grown up with. That doesn't mean you have to change your opinions or who you are, but it's good to ask the questions. – Molly Ringwald

Neo I know you're out there. I can feel you now. I know that you're afraid... afraid of us. You're afraid of change. I don't know the future. I didn't come here to tell you how this is going to end. I came here to tell how it's going to begin. I'm going to hang up this phone, and then show these people what you don't want them to see. I'm going to show them a world without you. A world without rules or controls, borders or boundaries. A world where anything is possible. Where we go from there is a choice I leave to you. – Matrix, The
Normal is getting dressed in clothes that you buy for work and driving through traffic in a car that you are still paying for - in order to get to the job you need to pay for the clothes and the car, and the house you leave vacant all day so you can afford to live in it. – Ellen Goodman
People who are smart get into Mensa. People who are really smart look around and leave. – James Randi

Rest not Life is sweeping by go and dare before you die. Something mighty and sublime, leave behind to conquer time. – Johann von Goethe
There are some people who leave impressions not so lasting as the imprint of an oar upon the water. – Kate Chopin
To stay in places and to leave, to trust, to distrust, to no longer believe and believe again, . . . to watch the snow come, to watch it go, to hear rain on a tent, to know where I can find what I want. – Ernest Hemingway
When you leave New York, you are astonished at how clean the rest of the world is. Clean is not enough. – Fran Lebowitz
You are in the process of being indoctrinated. We have not yet evolved a system of education that is not a system of indoctrination. We are sorry, but it is the best we can do. What you are being taught here is an amalgam of current prejudice and the choices of this particular culture. The slightest look at history will show how impermanent these must be. You are being taught by people who have been able to accomodate themselves to a regime of thought laid down by their predecessors. It is a self-perpetuating system. Those of you who are more robust and individual than others, will be encouraged to leave and find ways of educating yourself-educating your own judgement. Those that stay must remember, always and all the time, that they are being moulded and patterned to fit into the narrow and particular needs of this society. – Doris Lessing
You do not need to leave your room. Remain sitting at your table and listen. Do not even listen, simply wait, be quiet still and solitary. The world will freely offer itself to you to be unmasked, it has no choice, it will roll in ecstasy at your feet. – Franz Kafka
You leave more for your imagination if your eyes are out of focus – Tomas Wallin
American leaders created a system that allowed a free distribution of wealth and power. People leave their economic class and become richer regardless of their ethnic or national background. Therefore, despite having more diverse people in our society than any other nation, we have more stable national politics. If our elites try to limit the openness of the socioeconomic system, the system will be corrected in any number of forms including civic unrest. When Bush's administration invaded Iraq and bailed out Wall Street, the people brought in Obama. When Obama bailed out Wall Street again and considered raising the tax on the people, the system brought the Tea Party into power and the ruling party lost control of the Congress. People expressed their anger via peaceful elections. – Med Jones
I wish you well and so I take my leave, I Pray you know me when we meet again. – William Shakespeare
You can't leave footprints in the sands of time if you're sitting on your butt. And who wants to leave buttprints in the sands of time – Bob Moawad
To laugh often and much to win the respect of intelligent people and the affection of children to earn the appreciation of honest critics and endure the betrayal of false friends to appreciate beauty, to find the best in others to leave the world a little better whether by a healthy child, a garden patch or a redeemed social condition to know even one life has breathed easier because you have lived. This is the meaning of success. – Ralph Waldo Emerson
Drink to me only with thine eyes, And I will pledge with mine Or leave a kiss but in the cup And I'll not look for wine. – Ben Johnson
Our passions are like convulsion fits, which, though they make us stronger for a time, leave us the weaker ever after. – Alexander Pope
Leave her to heaven And to those thorns that in her bosom lodge, To prick and sting her. – William Shakespeare
Let no one flatter himself of himself he is Satan. Let man take sin, which is his own, and leave righteousness with God. – Saint Augustine
