One of the greatest men to ever walk this land was Dr. Martin Luther King,

Glynis Johns Someday perhaps I'll have to get a grownup job... but for now I'm having too much fun being a reporter. Andrea Mitchell

A Code of Honor: Never approach a friend's girlfriend or wife with mischief as your

goal. There are just too many women in the world to justify that sort of dishonorable behavior. Unless she's really attractive. Bruce Jay Friedman Conservatives and liberals alike have been waiting for this moment for a third of a century. Michael Kinsley Communication is about being effective, not always about being proper. Bo Bennett Advice is such a tricky thing when you're young. Jena Malone To be or not to be. That's not really a question. Jean-Luc Godard I've written many nonfiction books, but that's a special gift. Tim LaHaye Money often costs too much. Ralph Waldo Emerson

There is so much work to be done to treat gays and lesbians and gay

and lesbian couples with the respect that they're entitled to. They deserve, in my judgment, partnership benefits. They deserve to be treated fairly when it comes to adoption and immigration.

Thorstein Veblen I was planning to be a baseball player until I ran into something called a curveball. And that set me back. Ben Chandler Never underestimate people. They do desire the cut of truth.

with the name of the Bee Gees or just as Barry and Robin. Now we've decided to continue as the Bee Gees because we feel we can, and Maurice would have wanted it.

everywhere. It might be the worst department now, and yet at one point it was the best in the country. Ad Reinhardt What medicines do not heal, the lance will; what the lance does not heal, fire will. Hippocrates I get terrible butterflies. Before I go onstage, I'll have to freak out for five minutes.

William Shakespeare Do you think it is only a little thing to possess a house from which lovely things can be seen? Saint Teresa of Avila He who spares the bad injures the good. Publilius Syrus

I loved Old School. I thought Old School was very different than a lot of

Kevin J. Anderson

When it comes to Chinese food I have always operated under the policy that the

less known about the preparation the better. A wise diner who is invited to visit the kitchen replies by saying, as politely as possible, that he has a pressing engagement elsewhere.

Sharon Stone Somewhere we turn ourselves into victims instead of being the powerful women we really are meant to be. Judith Light

Shooting a television show can be very difficult and at times can really wear on

you. If you keep reminding yourself that it is a job and you show up together as a team and as a whole, you can prevail.

It is not likely that posterity will fall in love with us, but not impossible

that it may respect or sympathize; so a man would rather leave behind him the portrait of his spirit than a portrait of his face. Robert Louis Stevenson Music is a hobby, because I'm not making any money out of it, but I put just as much conviction into that as I do into my acting.

Stuart Appleby Mercury pollution from power plants is a national problem that requires a national response. Tom Allen No one regards what is before his feet; we all gaze at the stars.

I was acting for quite a while before I got famous; television made me famous. I guess that it's television that is responsible for everybody's desire to be famous.

In this context, I believe it is an imperative for the new President to select

and install his team as quickly as possible, and this does not imply that he must or should appoint members of the 'other' party to his Cabinet, which could contribute to inaction and inefficiency.

Salvador Dali When I learn something new - and it happens every day - I feel a little more at home in this universe, a little more comfortable in the nest.

It's much more difficult to work on a broad subject than on a specific one,

because even if it's hard to find the information, if you look hard enough for something specific you will find it, and you will discover things that you wouldn't have thought of before.

Emeril Lagasse I have never wavered from my intention to advance the cause of diversity in new and more effective ways. Jeb Bush

result of our going into Iraq, not only is Saddam Hussein gone, but Qaddafi has given up his weapons of mass destruction and tremendous progress is being made in Iraq. Peter T. King I wanted to be that cranky old guy that stands on his porch and yells at the neighborhood kids. Robert Lansing If men had to have babies, they would only ever have one each.

Russell M. Nelson If the urge to write should ever leave me, I want that day to be my last. Naguib Mahfouz There is no short and easy road, no magic cure for those ills which have afflicted mankind from the dawn of history. Frank B. Kellogg

We are moving toward a global economy. One way of approaching that is to pull

the covers over your head. Another is to say: It may be more complicated - but that's the world I am going to live in, I might as well be good at it. Phil Condit You don't need to know who's playing on the White House tennis court to be a good president. James Baker I do not wish women to have power over men; but over themselves. Mary Shelley I always liked the smell of a smoke-filled room. I think it's a good smell. Dennis Franz If we knew each other's secrets, what comforts we should find. John Churton Collins The whole thing about acting, the draw for me, is the opportunity to do things you don't get to do in real life. Benjamin Bratt We must see our present fight right through to the very end. Bobby Sands

It's a little like casting out hundreds of fishing lines into the audience. You start

getting little bites, then more, then you hook a few, then more. Then you can start reeling them in and that's a loveliest feeling - the whole audience laughing with you. Jim Dale Talk politics, talk about study and talk positively. Jiang Zemin It may not always be easy, convenient, or politically correct to stand for truth and right, but it is the right thing to do. Always. M. Russell Ballard The first funeral for Andrew Goodman was at night and it was a lot of work. To begin with they had to kill him. Jimmy Breslin Only so far as a man believes strongly, mightily, can he act cheerfully, or do anything that is worth doing. Frederick William Robertson Most people think of success and failure as opposites, but they both are products of the same process. Roger von Oech I had a Southern accent but I had broken it so hard. Josh Lucas

I really don't think life is about the I-could-have-beens. Life is only about the I-tried-to-do.

I don't mind the failure but I can't imagine that I'd forgive myself if I didn't try. Nikki Giovanni Humor has always been important to me. If there is a shield of faith that you can keep up against difficulties, humor is the Teflon coating. Laurel Lea I waged war against my feelings. John James Audubon It is annoying to be honest to no purpose. Ovid In my estimation, the only thing that is more to be guarded against than bad taste is good taste. Russell Lynes The pious pretense that evil does not exist only makes it vague, enormous and menacing. Aleister Crowley To do no evil is good, to intend none better. Claudius

It's the unusual leading man. Most of the Hollywood leading men are powerful and capable

and strong, heroes. He has this vulnerability, he's fragile, he struggles to find a way to live from day to day that we can identify with, that we can understand. Mark Rydell It sounds so trite but in relationships, you have to communicate. Peter Krause It is common sense to take a method and try it. If it fails, admit it frankly and try another. But above all, try something. Franklin D. Roosevelt Actually, I majored in marketing and I have a bachelor of science. Wanda Sykes In philosophy, it is not the attainment of the goal that matters, it is the things that are met with by the way. Havelock Ellis Growth itself contains the germ of happiness. Pearl S. Buck Keep courage. Whatever you do, do not feel sorry for yourself. You will win in a great age of opportunity. Richard L. Evans

I have an elbow that bends the wrong way, and I'd do things like stand

in an elevator and the doors would close, and I'd pretend that my arm had got caught in it, and then I'd scream, 'Ow, ow, put it back!' Geena Davis Bigotry dwarfs the soul by shutting out the truth. Edwin Hubbel Chapin You have all the reason in the world to achieve your grandest dreams. Imagination plus innovation equals realization. Denis Waitley And now, excuse me while I interrupt myself. Murray Walker There is no such thing as talent. There is pressure. Alfred Adler All men who have achieved great things have been great dreamers. Orison Swett Marden Marty Robbins once sang you give me a mountain, I've been given a few mountains in my life. David Allan Coe

My Cape women are generally true to type - big hearted, motherly women who love

the sea. My other characters, with the exception of the Portuguese, who I occasionally mention as Cape dwellers, are obviously drawn from the city types one sees in everyday life. Joseph C. Lincoln Delaware State began as a school bent on service - teaching education, social services and nursing. Michael N. Castle The worst mistake I made was that stupid, suburban prejudice of anti-Semitism. Ezra Pound I've played four characters now, my latest one being Sandor the gypsy. Thayer David I lived rough, by my wits, was homeless, lived on the streets, lived on friends' floors, was happy, was miserable. Ben Okri The horns came riding in like the rainbow masts of silver ships. Peter S. Beagle Next to power without honor, the most dangerous thing in the world is power without humor. Eric Sevareid

Israel was not created in order to disappear - Israel will endure and flourish. It

is the child of hope and the home of the brave. It can neither be broken by adversity nor demoralized by success. It carries the shield of democracy and it honors the sword of freedom. John F. Kennedy You understand, of course, that I can only get you access. Edward Bennett Williams Every day you learn something new. Dennis Brown The most pitiful among men is he who turns his dreams into silver and gold. Khalil Gibran When the best leader's work is done the people say, 'We did it ourselves.' Lao Tzu Possession isn't nine-tenths of the law. It's nine-tenths of the problem. John Lennon Going after the unknown is always fascinating, I think. It becomes part of your life, this desire to know. Mark Oliphant

In the government schools, which are referred to as public schools, Indian policy has been

instituted there, and its a policy where they do not encourage, in fact, discourage, critical thinking and the creation of ideas and public education. Russell Means There aren't many strong or charismatic candidates today, because many people can't withstand the scrutiny. Tom Ford All growth depends upon activity. There is no development physically or intellectually without effort, and effort means work. Calvin Coolidge Faith is not contrary to the usual ideas, something that turns out to be right or wrong, like a gambler's bet. Joanna Russ The difference between a saint and a hypocrite is that one lies for his religion, the other by it. Minna Antrim On matters of race, on matters of decency, baseball should lead the way. A. Bartlett Giamatti In the first year, 1988, I wrote and sold 3 novels. George Stephen

I suppose what's happened recently has confirmed suspicions I voiced in the book, and I

think made clearer some of those things that I point out. For instance I have a section of the book where I talk about the possibility of torture. Peter Singer Ignorance is preferable to error, and he is less remote from the truth who believes nothing than he who believes what is wrong. Thomas Jefferson A huge change has taken place in my lifetime. Michael King Europe, in legend, has always been the home of subtle philosophical discussion; America was the land of grubby pragmatism. Daniel Bell Am I a fool? I don't think I'm a fool. But I think I sure was fooled. Kenneth Lay Be nice to people on your way up because you meet them on your way down. Jimmy Durante People try much less hard to make a marriage work than they used to fifty years ago. Divorce is easier. Mary Wesley

Wisdom is the right use of knowledge. To know is not to be wise. Many

men know a great deal, and are all the greater fools for it. There is no fool so great a fool as a knowing fool. But to know how to use knowledge is to have wisdom. Charles Spurgeon In the long-run every Government is the exact symbol of its People, with their wisdom and unwisdom; we have to say, Like People like Government. Thomas Carlyle You do what you can for as long as you can, and when you finally can't, you do the next best thing. You back up but you don't give up. Chuck Yeager There are some who start their retirement long before they stop working. Robert Half The African-American experience is one of the most important threads in the American tapestry. Bill Frist And when I've been away from my family and friends, I have felt good hearing some of those old songs. Beau Bridges I used to be a hopeless romantic - I fell in love with everyone I went out with. Jeremy London

Amtrak is extremely important to the economy of Southern Illinois and I will continue to

work with state and local leaders and my colleagues in Congress to secure the necessary funding to maintain full service. Jerry Costello An angel of God never has wings. Joseph Smith, Jr. Perhaps the surest test of an individual's integrity is his refusal to do or say anything that would damage his self-respect. Thomas S. Monson There may be some so very Ignorant, that they know not how to Pray. Cotton Mather It means that through knowledge have come responsibility and hope, and through both, action. Edward Livingston We hand folks over to God's mercy, and show none ourselves. George Eliot But his kiss was so sweet, and so closely he pressed, that I languished and pined till I granted the rest. John Gay[EXTRACT]Amtrak is extremely important to the economy of Southern Illinois and I will continue to work with state and local leaders and my colleagues in Congress to secure the necessary funding to maintain full service. Jerry Costello An angel of God never h

Sometimes you get a glimpse of a semicolon coming, a few lines farther on, and

it is like climbing a steep path through woods and seeing a wooden bench just at a bend in the road ahead, a place where you can expect to sit for a moment, catching your breath. Lewis Thomas It's very easy to learn. And very difficult to master. Sonny Terry There can be economy only where there is efficiency. Benjamin Disraeli Something is always simple until you try it. Craig Bruce You have to make difficult choices in your life, and you just have to be happy with them. Lori Loughlin You need a routine, to be able to spend some time with a person, and my lifestyle is constantly on the move. Patricia Velasquez A hungry dog hunts best. A hungrier dog hunts even better. Norman Ralph Augustine

It will always be the same possibilities, in sum or on the average, that go

on repeating themselves until a man comes along who does not value the actuality above idea. It is he who first gives the new possibilities their meaning, their direction, and he awakens them. Robert Musil Direct access to sea is an essential part of foreign policy. Carlos Mesa Fascism is itself less 'ideological', in so far as it openly proclaims the principle of domination that is elsewhere concealed. Theodor Adorno I took the Canal Zone and let Congress debate; and while the debate goes on, the canal does also. Theodore Roosevelt I think Europe is going in the right direction and we shouldn't be set back. Peter Mandelson You don't have to be old in America to say of a world you lived in: That world is gone. Peggy Noonan If only we could accept that there is no difference between us where human values are concerned. Whatever sex. Liv Ullmann

Any type of operating system that I wanted to be able to hack, I basically

compromised the source code, copied it over to the university because I didn't have enough space on my 200 megabyte hard drive. Kevin Mitnick Now and then an innocent man is sent to the legislature. Kin Hubbard The worst sin toward our fellow creatures is not to hate them, but to be indifferent to them: that's the essence of inhumanity. George Bernard Shaw Human judges can show mercy. But against the laws of nature, there is no appeal. Arthur C. Clarke What terrified me will terrify others; and I need only describe the spectre which had haunted my midnight pillow. Mary Shelley If we learn not humility, we learn nothing. John Jewel Set the foot down with distrust on the crust of the world - it is thin. Edna St. Vincent Millay

Dietrich Fischer-Dieskau The person who does not know how to live while they are making a living is a poorer person after their wealth is won than when they started. Josiah Gilbert Holland The end of all good music is to affect the soul. Claudio Monteverdi I'm a film doll. But I'm enjoying it. So I'm gonna keep doing it. Shannyn Sossamon Music has charms to sooth a savage breast, to soften rocks, or bend a knotted oak. William Congreve Once they're on paper, they're gone. I like to do as much with the words, as far as image goes. Ric Ocasek

Gemeoss

My uncle inspired me, and it was because of him that I become a wrestler,

but besides him, the one Superstar that really caught my attention growing up as a kid was 'Macho Man' Randy Savage.Rey Mysterio It's clear that Planned Parenthood went out of its way to paint me as some sort of a zealot - a Trojan-horse zealot who came into Komen and within 10 to 11 months had completely turned the place upside down. That's clearly not who I am, and it's not what happened.Karen Handel Once you become president, you don't even have to stop for red lights. And if it looks like traffic's too bad, you just take a helicopter.H. W. Brands From Julia Child to 'The Galloping Gourmet' and the Food Channel and Cooking Channel, our fascination with the spectacle of cooking has been a mainstay of TV entertainment.Chuck Norris I want to love. I want to enjoy life.David Cassidy The mistake we made in the 1990s was overestimating the potential of NAFTA's positive impact.William M. Daley I was set to confront the might of the

Years ago nobody was elected on the economic ticket. It was either the education platform,

or it was health or it was other issues. It is only recently that economic values have superceded every other human value. Anita Roddick The physical fabric of the world had to be such as to enable that ten billion year preliminary evolution to produce the raw materials of life. Without it there would not have been the chemical materials to allow life to evolve here on earth. John Polkinghorne I respect the Hall of Fame, and if they think that I'm worthy enough, I would be very honored. And if they don't, I gave it all that I had to this game. Rafael Palmeiro I'm pleased the administration is endorsing the need for legislation dealing with the chemical sector. In the past, the administration's position has been ambiguous. Susan Collins When I was 12 years old, I was hanging out with 23-year-olds. I was into cartoons and Pokemon, and they're all talking about girls. It was a strange way to grow up. Shaun White I read everything. I've always got a b

I agree that we must expand opportunities for retirement saving, but we must not undermine

this worthy effort with a flawed privatization scheme that takes the 'security' out of Social Security. Mary Landrieu I believe that it is better to tell the truth than a lie. I believe it is better to be free than to be a slave. And I believe it is better to know than to be ignorant. H. L. Mencken A critical factor in its success was that the X developers were willing to give the sources away for free in accordance with the hacker ethic, and able to distribute them over the Internet. Eric S. Raymond The issue is not abortion. The issue is whether women can make up their own mind instead of some right-wing pastor, some right-wing politician telling them what to do. Howard Dean Substance must emanate from spirit and is nothing else than the record of the spirit's conception of itself finding expression in space and time. Paul Twitchell I am not in this world to live up to other people's expectations, nor do I feel that the world must live up to mine. Frit

If I can avoid looking at myself, I will. I don't care to examine myself

or see much of what I do. I never care how I look. Scott Bakula I was 17 when I released my first record. I didn't really figure out what I wanted to say, how to get a message and put it together. Sydney Wayser I've always liked simple. Growing up, I wore corduroys and Lacoste shirts, Maraolo flats, and maybe one gold bracelet. Aerin Lauder I started off with violin, then I started learning guitar, then I went to piano. But I self-taught piano just because I enjoyed it. I've always really enjoyed music. Jesse Spencer Stand up and pledge with me: A government of the United States is not on the auction block. And America is not for sale! Tom Selleck Religion is a very personal thing for me. Religion has its good moments and its poor moments. Elie Wiesel Sweet, delicious Dungeness crab is always a treat. Tom Douglas I'm feeling around for what happens in a post-'Peep Show' world. Robert Webb I'd refer to myself as a feminist. I don't

The higher mental development of woman, the less possible it is for her to meet

a congenial male who will see in her, not only sex, but also the human being, the friend, the comrade and strong individuality, who cannot and ought not lose a single trait of her character. Emma Goldman We had every kind of audience you could name. Young, old, not-so-old, some older than old, some younger than young: they were there, they were there! There was everything. John Hunter Music is something that always lifts my spirits and makes me happy, and when I make music I always hope it will have the same effect on whoever listens to it. Aaron Carter God is not disillusioned with us. He never had any illusions to begin with. Luis Palau Genre is a bookstore problem, not a literary problem. Rick Moody We are the recorders and reporters of facts - not the judges of the behaviors we describe. Alfred Kinsey Power has only one duty - to secure the social welfare of the People. Benjamin Disraeli

One of the worst things about being an actor, besides people being nice to you

and getting free stuff all the time - but really, one of the worst things is not knowing what's coming next. You could shoot a pilot, and they could have you on hold for six months waiting to find out what is going to happen with the show, and you're locked into it. Nick Kroll What, I sometimes wonder, would it be like if I lived in a country where winter is a matter of a few chilly days and a few weeks' rain; where the sun is never far away, and the flowers bloom all year long? Anna Neagle Of course there have been times I regretted being the kid in 'E.T.' My world went completely crazy. I was that stupid kind of famous, where you can't go anywhere. Henry Thomas A lot of the stuff I have done had been not only the likable guy, but like the nice likable guy. Ron Livingston It doesn't have to be a problem for children to be fat, but it does affect you: you aren't as happy in that skin. Harry Melling They always want me to play myself and th

I pondered all these things, and how men fight and lose the battle, and the

thing that they fought for comes about in spite of their defeat, and when it comes turns out not to be what they meant, and other men have to fight for what they meant under another name. William Morris So, fall asleep love, loved by me... for I know love, I am loved by thee. Robert Browning As you walk down the fairway of life you must smell the roses, for you only get to play one round. Ben Hogan And soon, too soon, we part with pain, To sail o'er silent seas again. Thomas Moore The first step, my son, which one makes in the world, is the one on which depends the rest of our days. Voltaire Soap and water and common sense are the best disinfectants. William Osler There are no insuperable constitutional difficulties. Lionel Murphy

What we don't talk about enough is Ohio's unique and remarkable quality of life. We

are a state of cities, small towns and growing suburbs where life is affordable and destinations within reach. There is no better place to raise a family. Bob Taft We must always remember with gratitude and admiration the first sailors who steered their vessels through storms and mists, and increased our knowledge of the lands of ice in the South. Roald Amundsen Remember the two benefits of failure. First, if you do fail, you learn what doesn't work; and second, the failure gives you the opportunity to try a new approach. Roger von Oech Moving from Wales to Italy is like moving to a different country. Ian Rush Apply yourself both now and in the next life. Without effort, you cannot be prosperous. Though the land be good, You cannot have an abundant crop without cultivation. Plato I haven't collected memorabilia. I am not a person who lives in the past. Yvonne Craig No, I do it all, but I do love to play solo. Bruce Hornsby

I've become wary of interviews in which you're forced to go back over the reasons

why you made certain decisions. You tend to rationalize what you've done, to intellectually review a process that is often intuitive. Peter Weir With this first novel, I am just above the foothills, but I see the path to the top, and it is my desire to write compelling stories about everything that I find of interest. Guy Johnson Even though the vast majority of my work was outside television, the amount of creation and inventing that went into the TV shows was non stop and, unknown to me, a great strain. Paul Daniels Black women, whose experience is unique, are seldom recognized as a particular social-cultural entity and are seldom thought to be important enough for serious scholarly consideration. Barbara Smith I wouldn't say anything is impossible. I think that everything is possible as long as you put your mind to it and put the work and time into it. Michael Phelps Either you write songs or you don't. And if you do write songs like I do, I think there

I'd say I'm a bit antimadridista although I do not know where my future will

be, but it's a team that I never liked. I get the impression that it is an arrogant club, about how the players are. Without humility, you cannot get anywhere. Isco I'm very big on doing my own thing. Rob Kardashian When I was younger, I definitely did face anti-ginger prejudice. As a child, all teasing hurts, whether it's because you're fat or a different race or have red hair. I had enough comments from a couple of people to make it a sore point. Lily Cole I think people like to see a little larceny in their heroes. James Garner I spent my childhood watching every scary movie that Hollywood ever made. And I think that gave me the best education for storytelling. It also made me want to reproduce the scary moments that I felt, sitting in a theater at the age of 5. Tess Gerritsen Movies are extremely imitative of one another. Whatever works, people will try to do it. Octavia E. Butler Women are liked better when they lose. Gloria Steinem Our TV and
