Immanuel Kant
Men are so simple and yield so readily to the desires of the moment that he who will trick will always find another who will suffer to be tricked.

One doesn’t need to be a scientist to figure out that water is our main life source. People long ago knew this as well as we do. That’s why it was so important for biblical people to ...

British photographer Oliver Curtis has created a very successful career in films, television and fashion photography. His success revolves around capturing ...

How about the overprotective mother who in her smothering loses the very daughter she seeks to shield? Or what about the wealthy woman who values accumulating ...
