You can not do what you want to do unless you know the correct technique.

The only other way you can learn how to do it is by doing it yourself, which would take twice as long than if you went to school. Boris Vallejo America is woven of many strands. I would recognise them and let it so remain. Our fate is to become one, and yet many. This is not prophecy, but description. Ralph Ellison Emancipation from every kind of bondage is my principle. I go for recognition of human rights, without distinction of sect, party, sex, or color. Ernestine Rose I lie around the floor with my cats Billy and Jazz or watch DVDs with my best friends. Cathy Freeman There seems to be some perverse human characteristic that likes to make easy things difficult. Warren Buffett Of all the varieties of virtues, liberalism is the most beloved. Aristotle He who binds his soul to knowledge, steals the key of heaven. Nathaniel Parker Willis

You're in front of an audience, but you're playing for a camera. There's this huge

adrenaline rush, because you know that besides the audience in the studio, there are millions of people watching at home. Jon Lovitz Another little known fact about Amazing Tennis - the computer opponents are modeled after real people. In an odd turn of events, I joined a division 3 college tennis team at age 38. David Crane If you talk to a man in a language he understands, that goes to his head. If you talk to him in his language, that goes to his heart. Nelson Mandela We find delight in the beauty and happiness of children that makes the heart too big for the body. Ralph Waldo Emerson It is wise to direct your anger towards problems - not people; to focus your energies on answers - not excuses. William Arthur Ward I venture to say no war can be long carried on against the will of the people. Edmund Burke I'm just like everybody else. I have two arms, two legs and four-thousand hits. Pete Rose

It takes a big idea to attract the attention of consumers and get them to

buy your product. Unless your advertising contains a big idea, it will pass like a ship in the night. I doubt if more than one campaign in a hundred contains a big idea. David Ogilvy While Slovakia did not make the first round of NATO membership, as various requirements and reforms are instituted, these actions will enhance the opportunities to join NATO. John Mica I spend a great deal of time with the President. We have a very close, personal, loyal relationship. I'm not, as they say, a potted plant in these meetings. Dan Quayle It's a shame anyone had to lose that. What a great rivalry. Mike Tice I don't consider myself a goody-goody, but I like to be perceived as classy. Kristen Johnston Around people I don't know, I'm totally at a loss. Barbra Streisand Why do we kill people who are killing people to show that killing people is wrong? Holly Near

We were playing a small club in San Diego and the power had gone out

in the building. Eddie had a lighter and kept us lit backstage. We became very good friends and spent a lot of time together including hearing Eddie sing in some of the bands he was in at the time. Jack Irons I learned to draw everything except glamorous women. No matter how much I tried to make them look sexy, they always ended up looking silly... or like somebody's mother. Norman Rockwell I can tell you this: If I'm ever in a position to call the shots, I'm not going to rush to send somebody else's kids into a war. George H. W. Bush Some of us are like a shovel brigade that follow a parade down Main Street cleaning up. Donald T. Regan Sometimes I would almost rather have people take away years of my life than take away a moment. Pearl Bailey People don't read bylines. Julius Schwartz The earth is the very quintessence of the human condition. Hannah Arendt

Our hope, and it's a sad hope, is that... well, I mean we need a

tip. That's why we have such a big reward. We just hope that someone is holding her for her child and that we can, you know, get her back with a tip. Scott Peterson In the meantime, I just have to create those realistic goals about the fact that I don't have a ton of options as an actor who's been on a science fiction show for 8 years. Michael Shanks Every one of my books is written from the viewpoint of cops, with the exception of my book Killer on the Road, which is written from the viewpoint of a serial killer. James Ellroy Let's not get too precious about it: actors are not heart surgeons or brain surgeons. We are just entertaining people. Malcolm McDowell Christmas isn't a season. It's a feeling. Edna Ferber Mathematics is the music of reason. James Joseph Sylvester An easy-going husband is the one indispensable comfort of life. Ouida

So the question is, First, Whether the civil magistrate hath power to force men in

things religious to do contrary to their conscience, and if they will not to punish them in their goods, liberties, or lives? this we hold in the negative. Robert Barclay Of all the passions of mankind, the love of novelty most rules the mind. In search of this, from realm to realm we roam. Our fleets come loaded with every folly home. Shelby Foote The American formula things are out there but they don't have any stories to tell - we have all the stories to tell - but they're all formula. Yahoo Serious Actors are trusting souls, and we must go by gut-level instinct, even after our agents and business managers weigh all the odds. Anne Archer I do not pray for a lighter load, but for a stronger back. Phillips Brooks One we discover how to appreciate the timeless values in our daily experiences, we can enjoy the best things in life. Jerome K. Jerome Nature made him, and then broke the mold. Ludovico Ariosto

Just under the surface I shall be, all together at first, then separate and drift,

through all the earth and perhaps in the end through a cliff into the sea, something of me. A ton of worms in an acre, that is a wonderful thought, a ton of worms, I believe it. Samuel Beckett Men of age object too much, consult too long, adventure too little, repent too soon, and seldom drive business home to the full period, but content themselves with a mediocrity of success. Dale Carnegie The arrogance of officialdom should be tempered and controlled, and assistance to foreign hands should be curtailed, lest Rome fall. Taylor Caldwell During the Samuel Johnson days they had big men enjoying small talk; today we have small men enjoying big talk. Fred Allen But I also like to be in control, like anyone else. I try to achieve a balance. Trevor Dunn I've always believed that it's important to show a new look periodically. Predictability can lead to failure. T. Boone Pickens Sharing food with another human being is an intimate act that should not be indulged in

Well, I think first of all, probably the most fundamental thing is that we are

a mixed-signal analog semiconductor company, which, along with some of the other well-known names in the industry, enjoys very good economics. David Milne The real duties of an ambassador are to enter into or follow negotiations between his own government and that of the country to which he is accredited. David K. E. Bruce It's a marvelous feeling when someone says 'I want to do this song of yours' because they've connected to it. That's what I'm after. Mary Chapin Carpenter If you do big things they print your face, and if you do little things they print only your thumbs. Arthur Baer Others have seen what is and asked why. I have seen what could be and asked why not. Pablo Picasso Men! The only animal in the world to fear. D. H. Lawrence The one thing we can never get enough of is love. And the one thing we never give enough is love. Henry Miller

Tell me, why is the media here so negative? Why are we in India so

embarrassed to recognise our own strengths, our achievements? We are such a great nation. We have so many amazing success stories but we refuse to acknowledge them. Why? A. P. J. Abdul Kalam How blessed are some people, whose lives have no fears, no dreads; to whom sleep is a blessing that comes nightly, and brings nothing but sweet dreams. Bram Stoker I have seen great jazz musicians die obscure and drinking themselves to death and not really being able to get any work and working in small, funky jazz clubs. Sonny Rollins More than anything, I think as our country matures, we recognize that women deserve to be treated with respect and dignity. Barbara Boxer Well who's black and what is a black person? Pam Grier Aesthetic matters are fundamental for the harmonious development of both society and the individual. Friedrich Schiller Superior strength is found in the long run to lie with those who had right on their side. James Anthony Froude

The heart of our relationship, this natural environment that has blessed us really all along

the west coast of North America, on both sides of the border we've realized that this incredible natural wealth comes with a price. Dan Miller I could have closed down bits of British Home Stores to make more money but it's not my style. I want to make my money as a retailer, not by putting people out of work. Philip Green No human being will ever know the Truth, for even if they happen to say it by chance, they would not even known they had done so. Xenophanes Statistics is the grammar of science. Karl Pearson The first hundred years are the hardest. Wilson Mizner Man was created as a being who should constantly keep improving, a being who on reaching one goal sets a higher one. Ralph Ransom When I was losing, they called me nuts. When I was winning they called me eccentric. Al McGuire

At noon, on the Fourth of July, 1826, while the Liberty Bell was again sounding

its old message to the people of Philadelphia, the soul of Thomas Jefferson passed on; and a few hours later John Adams entered into rest, with the name of his old friend upon his lips. Allen Johnson So now it is time to disassemble the parts of the jigsaw puzzle or to piece another one together, for I find that, having come to the end of my story, my life is just beginning. Conrad Veidt The truth is our country, our people, our liberties, and our way of life are under attack by radical Islamic terrorists who kill and destroy in the name of religion. Saxby Chambliss Sure! Why should any experts be the arbiters... That's like telling someone they can't be a vegetarian. Virginia Johnson Believing a person deserves a defence is not the same as doing anything in your power to get him off scot-free. Tammy Bruce The internet will catastrophically collapse in 1996. Robert Metcalfe All that is valuable in human society depends upon the opportunity for development acco

Super-Earths are how we call a family of planets... up to two times larger and

about ten times more massive than the Earth. Dimitar Sasselov I always think my face is quite nondescript - it sort of fits in to any period. It's not really distinct enough for you to remember me from something. Kimberley Nixon I'm a pretty tenacious person; I get that from my mom. So sometimes, I use dark humor. I can't take myself too seriously. Art Alexakis My dad's a scientist, and my mom's a teacher, so I didn't grow up in a family that was into the entertainment world at all. Eloise Mumford I enjoy practicing law too much to even contemplate retiring, but I often think about engaging in serious study of the history of art, of the intricacies of classical music. I could write a fugue, or perhaps learn to play the cello. Karen DeCrow I graduated from college with a 3.92 GPA with a degree in computer programming and a BFA in fine arts and animation. My first job was painting a mural in the Grimaldi's in Queens. JWoww In my career as a d

It's not an act. I love it. It's totally original. People go, 'What's going on

with this guy? Why does he sound so weird? What is going on in his brain. I don't know. Just one day I suddenly woke up with a new brain. Charlie Sheen I don't plan out my visits rigorously, but I do have a list of about 125 New York galleries, alternative spaces, museums, and so forth that I visit regularly. That's the closest thing I have to a strategy: I go to a lot of places, many that artists don't visit. Jerry Saltz I think that practising the law, particularly litigation, and particularly in Glasgow, has always been difficult enough without adding to it by having problems with professional colleagues or former colleagues. Len G. Murray I guess I found it useful to realise that everything is true at once, you know? You can pull back and say, 'Everything will be fine,' but you can also be in a situation and say, 'Not everything is going to be fine.' Feist Once you understand that someone has Tourette and that they can't help their ti

I've always had a healthy disregard for authority - it allows me to do my

job as a portrait photographer and not as someone who is playing the power game. Platon What I've learned is that you get better at writing by writing, and that 'youthful energy' will only get you so far. Lynn Coady It's the sad thing about entertainment: it's not always about who is the best. Jake The Snake had a horrible time playing politics. I never had a belt; didn't need one. They tried to put me against Hogan twice, but when the people chanted for me, when they chanted for the DDT, that was the end of that. They couldn't ruin their marketing. Jake Roberts Working on 'NYPD Blue' and '24', those two series, I did full runs on those. It's great work, but everything has to align. The producers have to want you; the network has to want you; there has to be great writing; and it's not as easy as it may appear to the outsiders to make all those things align. Ricky Schroder We discovered that fruit flies alter course in les

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

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

Temptation, if it is not to conquer, must not fall like a bomb against another

bomb of instantaneous moral explosions, but against the strong walls of an impregnable fortress strongly built up, stone by stone, beginning at that distant day when the foundations were first laid. Maria Montessori 'Mission: Impossible' is fun. But for myself as an artist, I'm really more concerned with the human condition, the human experience, especially from an African American point of view. Ving Rhames Woe to those who die in mortal sin! Francis of Assisi I had more energy at 50. On the other hand, at 75, I've probably got a little more wisdom and good judgment than I had at 50 because I've got more experience. But I haven't really changed. I'm still driven by the same philosophy. Ted Turner I let the whole 'Grease' experience be a springboard for me. I wanted to use the exposure I got from that very wisely to continue a successful career. It's taken a lot of work and perseverance. Laura Osnes The Hollywood Film Awards were r

Much of the impotence of American churches is tied to a profound ignorance and apathy

about justification. Our people live in a fog of guilt. Or just as bad, they think being a better person is all God requires. Kevin DeYoung I pay attention to how every makeup artist does everything. Gigi Hadid I had a brilliant trip to Mexico with my friend Ellie during my gap year. We thought we were being really cool and going off the beaten track while all our friends went to Thailand and Australia. The first beachside bar we walked into - there were two girls from my sixth form in there. Emily Berrington There is a qualitative difference between being a minority and being a majority. Majorities are stronger under psychological pressure because numbers count. But only if they are aware of it. Peter Abrahams I've realized that the most important thing I can do to look good is just treat myself well, whether it's getting a nice, long massage or just lying low and not going out every single night. Kim Cattrall Living organisms are created by chemistry. We are hu

In the spiritual body moreover, man appears such as he is with respect to love

and faith, for everyone in the spiritual world is the effigy of his own love, not only as to the face and the body, but also as to the speech and the actions. Emanuel Swedenborg No, the people standing before Christ and Pilate during the judgment scene do not condemn an entire race for the death of Christ anymore than the actions of Mussolini condemn all Italians, or the heinous crimes of Stalin condemn all Russians. Jim Caviezel If only Queen Elizabeth II had the intellectual, political and linguistic skills of Queen Elizabeth I, many people would support giving her some of the powers of an elected president. A. N. Wilson I'll always write music. Whether I release a record, whether I let the public hear it or not, I'm always writing music. Brian McKnight I touched an Oscar once. Friend of mine has one, for writing. As soon as I touched it, he said, Now you'll never win one. Rob Corddry The Blair government has lowered the standing of politics and politicians

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

Even cooking at home, the difference between my wife cooking and me cooking is major.

When my wife cooks, the kitchen looks like a disaster. When I cook it's completely clean and organized and it doesn't look like anyone has been cooking in there. Tom Colicchio The Arab representatives and their followers were not interested in the persecuted millions throughout the world; they were fixed on a political agenda that distracted the world from their own serious shortcomings in the human-rights department. Jack Schwartz If you're at an antiques fair, and have been unable to beat the dealer down earlier in the day, pay a return visit at the end. They may be more inclined to accept your offer, rather than having to pack the piece up and take it home. Judith Miller I think family mealtime is really important. There's a lot of research that shows kids are going to do better in school and have more self-esteem if you can all sit down and eat together. Jewel Since coming back from Iraq, there's been so many triumphs and obstacles standing in my way
