In the last analysis, the individual person is responsible for living his own life and

for 'finding himself.' If he persists in shifting his responsibility to somebody else, he fails to find out the meaning of his own existence. Thomas Merton Sit down and read. Educate yourself for the coming conflicts. Mary Harris Jones Calm self-confidence is as far from conceit as the desire to earn a decent living is remote from greed.

Gentleness can only be expected from the strong. Leo Buscaglia There's no such thing as a free lunch, at least on the karmic level. Joan D. Vinge

Each man has an equal social right to multiply his power of motion by all

the social factors of civilization. Private property in any of these factors is inconsistent with this fundamental right; it must, obviously, prove a source of economic despotism and industrial slavery. Daniel De Leon Life is truly known only to those who suffer, lose, endure adversity and stumble from defeat to defeat. Anais Nin The greatest business people I've met are determined to get it right no matter what the cost.

These people live again in print as intensely as when their images were captured on

old dry plates of sixty years ago... I am walking in their alleys, standing in their rooms and sheds and workshops, looking in and out of their windows. Any they in turn seem to be aware of me. Ansel Adams Philosophers are adults who persist in asking childish questions. Isaiah Berlin Purchasing power is a license to purchase power. Raoul Vaneigem Time = Life, Therefore, waste your time and waste of your life, or master your time and master your life. Alan Lakein The only thing holding us back is ourselves.

Lily Tomlin The story of Ulysses and Agamemnon and Menelaus, of Jesus, of the Good Knight of Chaucer, lives in every one of us. James Lee Burke

born. I believe we've come back during this time, those of us who are here now, specifically to experience it. And to cause a 'quickening of the spirit.' Neale Donald Walsch I was eating bad stuff. Lots of sugar and carbs, junk food all the time. It makes you very irritated. Avril Lavigne It was part of your religion to hate the British.

Young Buck I believe that my choosing my present course I do no dishonor to them, or to those who may come after me. Pete Seeger Folly loves the martyrdom of fame.

ruined, and talents irretrievably lost to society, for want of cultivation: while two parties have been idly contending who should bestow it.

But I do mean to say, I have heard her declare, When at the same

moment she had on a dress Which cost five hundred dollars, and not a cent less, And jewelry worth ten times more, I should guess, That she had not a thing in the wide world to wear! William Allen Butler There are three things in the world that deserve no mercy, hypocrisy, fraud, and tyranny. Frederick William Robertson Well, we are expanding in all of our segments of the market. David Milne Thought and theory must precede all salutary action; yet action is nobler in itself than either thought or theory. Virginia Woolf Rock and rollers can get you the youth buzz, and younger people are fanatical readers. James Ellroy I don't think Alfonso was a big expert on Potter either. He was feeling his way through it more than I was. David Thewlis You have to be self-reliant and strong to survive in this town. Otherwise you will be destroyed. Joan Crawford

It all has to do with art - writing, painting, things I've done for a

long time but just never had enough time to pursue. I have poetry - things that are designed for songs, but they're always poems first. Jason Newsted I think there's bipartisan support in the Senate to pass a good reform bill. Don Nickles Ambition is the immoderate desire for power. Baruch Spinoza Now we sit through Shakespeare in order to recognize the quotations. Orson Welles I would rather feel things in extreme than not at all. Bonnie Raitt There's no question that Whale's movies are classics. They were wonderful, and successful.

Of two pleasures, if there be one which all or almost all who have experience

of both give a decided preference, irrespective of any feeling of moral obligation to prefer it, that is the more desirable pleasure. John Stuart Mill Once you have selected a sport or a creative activity, the rules are pretty much the same. Bill Toomey I've been around the block a lot and I've had a merry trail for 55 years.

Brower We are enslaved by anything we do not consciously see. We are freed by conscious perception. Vernon Howard Who says I am not under the special protection of God? Adolf Hitler

I think I was more or less, convinced of that by just the press, the

US press. By people who were pressuring you, saying that you gotta beat the Russian's, if you don't win anything else, win the Russian meet and so forth. Ralph Boston What a terrible thing to have lost one's mind. Or not to have a mind at all. How true that is. Dan Quayle Patience is the support of weakness; impatience the ruin of strength. Charles Caleb Colton I like getting toilet paper thrown at me. Joel Madden These greens are so fast I have to hold my putter over the ball and hit it with the shadow. Sam Snead When you can throw 97 miles an hour and put the ball over the plate anytime you want, it's fun. Randy Johnson Life is a tide; float on it. Go down with it and go up with it, but be detached. Then it is not difficult. Prem Rawat

In the final analysis, the questions of why bad things happen to good people transmutes

itself into some very different questions, no longer asking why something happened, but asking how we will respond, what we intend to do now that it happened. Pierre Teilhard de Chardin I feel for the players. Vanna White The less secure a man is, the more likely he is to have extreme prejudice.

Howard Berman Stem cell research holds out the promise of finding cures and treatments for a wide range of diseases. Tom Allen

So I think it's important to communicate with the people in terms of what the

real facts are on these proposals and try to have a discussion and a dialogue that gives people information. I think they're hungry for that rather than just political rhetoric. John Podesta I never though much about race. Thelonious Monk But as I often say, terrorists won't check our party registration before they blow us up. Jane Harman Good night, good night!

Jim Rohn Maybe in a few months I can start to daydream if we are still top of the league. That is the main one for us. John Terry

These rules may seem simple enough, but it will require great morale and physical courage

to adhere to them. But if carried out in the strict sense of the word it will surely lead to a greater success than could otherwise be attained. Major Taylor If you put off everything till you're sure of it, you'll never get anything done. Norman Vincent Peale If you want more, you have to require more from yourself. Phil McGraw Confidence in the goodness of another is good proof of one's own goodness. Michel de Montaigne God may be subtle, but he isn't plain mean. Albert Einstein The geographical isolation and lack of television made world happenings and problems seem remote. Paul D. Boyer Jealousy, that dragon which slays love under the pretence of keeping it alive. Havelock Ellis

Programmers and marketing people know how to get into your subconscious - they spend millions

of dollars researching colors, shapes, designs, symbols, that affect your preferences, and they can make you feel warm, trusting, like buying. They can manipulate you.

Donny Osmond But on the other hand I believe I'm a private person too, and I enjoy that aspect of my life as well. Beau Bridges The more riches you have, the more you can share.

Mohammed Saeed al-Sahaf Some guy hit my fender, and I told him, 'Be fruitful and multiply,' but not in those words. Woody Allen

Intellectual despair results in neither weakness nor dreams, but in violence. It is only a

matter of knowing how to give vent to one's rage; whether one only wants to wander like madmen around prisons, or whether one wants to overturn them. Georges Bataille I have never developed indigestion from eating my words. Winston Churchill In ancient times they had no statistics so they had to fall back on lies. Stephen Leacock And I'd watch George C. Scott from backstage. He was one of my mentors. Jeffrey Tambor Some of the routines come back very easily. We do it off the top of our heads. Jerry Stiller My father carries around the picture of the kid who came with his wallet. Rodney Dangerfield Does being a feminist mean that I believe that I'm as good as any man? Yes. Yasmine Bleeth

Many people and governments share the mistaken belief that science, with new, ingenious devices and

techniques, can rescue us from the troubles we face without our having to mend our ways and change our patterns of activity. This is not so. Henry W. Kendall Leaders grasp nettles.

Lichtenberg Where every something, being blent together turns to a wild of nothing. William Shakespeare Today 23 years ago dear Grandmama died.

Muddy Waters I understand the common man because I understand me in that regard at least. Vince McMahon Most of my technical knowledge comes from having worked in the industrial video industry. Richard King Lefty Grove could throw a lamb chop past a wolf. Arthur Baer During all these years there existed within me a tendency to follow Nature in her walks. John James Audubon A car for every purse and purpose. Alfred P. Sloan Arbitrage proof has since been widely used throughout finance and economics. Merton Miller

I can see through almost any scam, especially one perpetrated by the federal government. I

can see through it... they can't pull the wool over my eyes, it's absolutely freakin' impossible to pull the wool over my eyes about the government. Gary Coleman Stick with the optimists. It's going to be tough enough even if they're right. James Reston Sometimes I just hit the keyboard in a way I'd like the rhythm of the tracks to sound. Richard D.

Charles Simic Globalization was a deep trend pushed by technology and right ideas, as much as anything else. Jeffrey Sachs

I hope we're all kind of influencing each other now to keep the quality up

on those things. They seem to be getting better and better and better as there's not only sort of a film geek audience, there's also a general interest in the overall film consuming population. Jay Roach Men, like bullets, go farthest when they are smoothest. Jean Paul At this point, I wouldn't be able to digest meat, and I don't like eating things with faces. Joely Fisher A good story cannot be devised; it has to be distilled. Raymond Chandler Everyone is always in favour of general economy and particular expenditure. Anthony Eden My biggest successes were mainly in the pop market during the 80s. Juice Newton Music is intended and designed for sentient beings that have hopes and purposes and emotions. Jacques Barzun

I don't know what he meant by 'they're after me.' And then I said, 'You

know, Bobby, I'm here for you. If you need any help, give me a call.' And then he did call me about a week later, and wanted to know if I had a good attorney.

Eddie Rickenbacker You can give without loving, but you can never love without giving. Robert Louis Stevenson I think it'd be useful for parents to know kind of what is the culture of an institution. Margaret Spellings All kids need is a little help, a little hope and somebody who believes in them. Magic Johnson The movies I'm in not a lot of people see, but it's alright. Catherine Keener

I was about half in love with her by the time we sat down. That's

the thing about girls. Every time they do something pretty... you fall half in love with them, and then you never know where the hell you are. J. D. Salinger I do like to shock and surprise people. When it's all in good fun, of course. Ruth Warrick I don't think I'll have to kill her. Just slap that pretty face into hamburger meat, that's all.

Estelle Morris Once I got the Lone Ranger role, I didn't want any other. Clayton Moore As soon as there is life there is danger. Ralph Waldo Emerson

Ralph Waldo Emerson When we hang the capitalists they will sell us the rope we use. Joseph Stalin George Lucas puts those types of characters in for the kids. Same with Jar Jar. Peter Mayhew That's why you find a lot of entertainers are insecure, because it's the perfect camouflage for insecurity.

It's true that the war in Iraq opened a distance in relations between part of

Europe and the U.S. government, but our basic ties are stronger than that. We share democracy, free markets and a commitment to Western security. We differ on how to guarantee that security. Jose Luis Rodriguez Zapatero A hair divides what is false and true. Omar Khayyam A consultant is someone who saves his client almost enough to pay his fee. Arnold H. Glasow The idea is in my head to put it down is nothing. Milton Avery God forbid you got seasick because there was no option to go back. So that really did force us to be a group. John C. Reilly Dare to be true. Nothing can need a lie: a fault which needs it most, grows two thereby. George Herbert This Nation has realized significant environmental improvements over the last three decades. Jerry Costello

The estimated loss of up to six million dead is founded too much on both

emotional, biased testimonies and on exaggerated data in the postwar reckonings of war crimes and on the squaring of accounts with the defeated. Franjo Tudjman I get a great high from writing. Walter Hill Work, apart from devotion or love of God, is helpless and cannot stand alone.

our challenges, creative in its possible solutions, compassionate in its commitment to our most vulnerable, and balanced on the bottom line. James H. Douglas, Jr. The only change is that baseball has turned Paige from a second class citizen to a second class immortal. Satchel Paige Never have more children than you have car windows.

Mary Bono

I'm more prone to his '70s material, which is what I was around for and

watched a lot. I listen to a lot of that stuff. It probably influenced me quite a bit. I'm more drawn to the darker, sadder songs.

both because of its intrinsic fascination and my conviction that a knowledge of sequences could contribute much to our understanding of living matter. Frederick Sanger The road to success runs uphill. Willie Davis No man is happy; he is at best fortunate. Solon You never have to change anything you got up in the middle of the night to write.

Michael Bergin Gentlemen, it is better to have died as a small boy than to fumble this football. John Heisman People take songs so literally. Richard Marx

I never know what it's going to look like. Wouldn't be much point in painting

Peter Wright Say what you know, do what you must, come what may. Sofia Kovalevskaya There is no pot of gold at the end of the rainbow.

These names: gay, queer, homosexual are limiting. I would love to finish with them. We're

going to have to decide which terms to use and where we use them. For me to use the word 'queer' is a liberation; it was a word that frightened me, but no longer. Derek Jarman It appears from Mr. Smith's account that there is no scarcity of buffalo as he penetrated the country. William Henry Ashley If we love our country, we should also love our countrymen.

William Kidd Now you know those trick candles that you blow out and a couple of seconds. Tim Vine

There are too many leaders anointed because they have a public voice - television, radio,

Whether you listen to a piece of music, or a poem, or look at a

picture or a jug, or a piece of sculpture, what matters about it is not what it has in common with others of its kind, but what is singularly its own.

Imagination will take you everywhere. Albert Einstein There are only two occasions when Americans respect privacy, especially in Presidents. Those are prayer and fishing. Herbert Hoover

Acting is probably the greatest therapy in the world. You can get a lot stuff

out of you on the set so you don't have to take it home with you at night. It's the stuff between the lines, the empty space between those lines which is interesting. Robert Carlyle Things are coming to a pretty pass when religion is allowed to invade private life. Lord Melbourne I've never been a cop nor hope to be a cop, thanks.

Joan Crawford One of the hardest jobs in ministry is keeping your own relationship with God where it needs to be. Harold Warner

For us artists there waits the joyous compromise through art with all that wounded or

defeated us in daily life; in this way, not to evade destiny, as the ordinary people try to do, but to fulfil it in its true potential - the imagination. Lawrence Durrell Give me your trust and confidence, knowing that what I seek is for the good of Fiji, for the good of us all. Josefa Iloilo But more importantly, I think he remembered how very close I was with my own dad, who had died in 1997.

Jerry Gillies One of the deepest functions of a living organisms is to look ahead... to produce future. Francois Jacob
