When I have had such men before my camera my whole soul has endeavored to

do its duty towards them in recording faithfully the greatness of the inner as well as the features of the outer man. The photograph thus taken has been almost the embodiment of a prayer. Julia Margaret Cameron In oneself lies the whole world and if you know how to look and learn, the door is there and the key is in your hand. Nobody on earth can give you either the key or the door to open, except yourself. Jiddu Krishnamurti We should develop anti-satellite weapons because we could not have prevailed without them in 'Red Storm Rising'. Dan Quayle The problem with children is that you have to put up with their parents. Charles de Lint My goal was never to get re-elected. Scott McCallum This is not a happy time for this kind of music in this country. George Crumb The buck stops here! Harry S Truman

Any act often repeated soon forms a habit; and habit allowed, steady gains in strength,

At first it may be but as a spider's web, easily broken through, but if not resisted it soon binds us with chains of steel. Tryon Edwards Just as it is true that a stream cannot rise above its source, so it is true that a national literature cannot rise above the moral level of the social conditions of the people from whom it derives its inspiration. James Connolly There can be no possible question that cold is felt much more keenly in the thin air of nineteen thousand feet than it is below. Hudson Stuck For the last third of life there remains only work. It alone is always stimulating, rejuvenating, exciting and satisfying. Doris Lessing The same Source that gave you the idea, will give you the means to see it through. Alan Cohen I think teaching should be an exalted profession, not a picked-on profession. Chuck Schumer The hardest struggle of all is to be something different from what the average man is. Robert H. Schuller

I'm aware of what kids like because I'm constantly in touch with them. Also, they

say that a lot of people who write for children can remember their own childhoods vividly and I can remember my childhood very vividly. Eric Wilson And that is called paying the Dane-geld; but we've proved it again and again, that if once you have paid him the Dane-geld you never get rid of the Dane. Rudyard Kipling I consider skateboarding an art form, a lifestyle and a sport. 'Action sport' would be the least offensive categorization. Tony Hawk Models are there to look like mannequins, not like real people. Art and illusion are supposed to be fantasy. Grace Jones It is only a step from boredom to disillusionment, which leads naturally to self-pity, which in turn ends in chaos. Manly Hall Kids today don't watch a black and white movie. Robert Englund It would be Spiderman. I'd love to be Peter Parker. Casper Van Dien

So we got there at 6 a.m. We'd be shooting by 6:45. We wouldn't break

for lunch, we'd just pass food around all day. And we would just rock and roll 'til 4, then Matty Libatique, our great cinematographer, would say, 'Outta light, guys' - and that was it. Joel Schumacher And I have been campaigning for the past three months trying to get the Senate Judiciary Committee that has the oversight authority and responsibility to start its own public hearings. Sibel Edmonds That's the wise thrush; he sings each song twice over, lest you should think he never could recapture the first fine careless rapture! Robert Browning It is an axiom, enforced by all the experience of the ages, that they who rule industrially will rule politically. Aneurin Bevan I've always wanted to do a boxing movie. Walter Hill When all are wrong, everyone is right. Ed Koch I'm not a cheerleader. I'm not trying to pretend to be sweet and then come out and be bad. This is who I am. Willa Ford

Of-course we did, but we didn't reply because we knew once this leaks the others

will scatter, so in the few days we moved quickly before the press got hold of it. The press did get hold of it a few days later, we nabbed, we were able to get 15, the others got away. Lee Kuan Yew I never quite understand why we watch the news. There doesn't really seem much point watching somebody tell you what the news is when you could quite easily listen to it on the radio. John Hurt The old idea of a composer suddenly having a terrific idea and sitting up all night to write it is nonsense. Nighttime is for sleeping. Benjamin Britten Bigotry murders religion to frighten fools with her ghost. Charles Caleb Colton I love to go to Washington - if only to be near my money. Bob Hope Every silver lining has a cloud. Mary Kay Ash But in reality we are accompanied by the whole dancing universe. Ruth St. Denis

We who have been born and nurtured on this soil, we, whose habits, manners, and

customs are the same in common with other Americans, can never consent to - be the bearers of the redress offered by that Society to that much afflicted. Richard V. Allen My view on issues is based on common sense, and my experience as a mother of four children, as a sole parent, and as a businesswoman running a fish and chip shop. Pauline Hanson I think that the job of poetry, its political job, is to refresh the idea of justice, which is going dead in us all the time. Robert Hass In movies, you shoot out of sequence, so the issue of reality is really taken out of it. Rosie Perez So long as large armies go to battle, so long will the air arm remain their spearhead. Cyril Falls I really think that sex always looks kind of funny in a movie. William Friedkin It has been said that arguing against globalization is like arguing against the laws of gravity. Kofi Annan

When I was born in 1942, World War II was still going. And I began

to realize when I became a young adult that if we don't teach our kids a better way of relating to their fellow human beings, the very future of humanity on the planet is in jeopardy. Graham Nash We, therefore, here in Britain stand shoulder to shoulder with our American friends in this hour of tragedy, and we, like them, will not rest until this evil is driven from our world. Tony Blair You hate someone whom you really wish to love, but whom you cannot love. Perhaps he himself prevents you. That is a disguised form of love. Sri Chinmoy While one finds company in himself and his pursuits, he cannot feel old, no matter what his years may be. Amos Bronson Alcott It's hard for a fellow to keep a chip on his shoulder if you allow him to take a bow. Billy Rose Painting, n.: The art of protecting flat surfaces from the weather, and exposing them to the critic. Ambrose Bierce The merit of originality is not novelty; it is sincerity. Thomas Carlyle

If there is anything I would do differently in my life, it is that I

would study business more. I'm trying to teach my daughter Chloe at an early age about investing and money so she's not afraid of it. Donna Mills I was a catastrophe at Science and Games, but the good thing about Quaker schools is that they encourage you in those subjects for which you show an aptitude. Richard Rodney Bennett Even if I know I shall never change the masses, never transform anything permanent, all I ask is that the good things also have their place, their refuge. Richard Wagner To every problem there is already a solution whether you know it or not. Grenville Kleiser Self-plagiarism is style. Alfred Hitchcock My swing is no uglier than Arnold Palmer's, and it's the same ugly swing every time. Nancy Lopez Now and then it's good to pause in our pursuit of happiness and just be happy. Guillaume Apollinaire

I think that the Japanese culture is one of the very few cultures left that

is its own entity. They're just so traditional and so specific in their ways. It's kind of untouched, it's not Americanized. Toni Collette There are three critical ingredients to democratic renewal and progressive change in America: good public policy, grassroots organizing and electoral politics. Paul Wellstone There are thousands of Ten Commandments plaques or monuments all over the country, and lawsuits to remove them have popped up in more than a dozen states. Phyllis Schlafly I'm going to be so much better a president for having been at the CIA that you're not going to believe it. George H. W. Bush We are all tourists in history, and irony is what we win in wars. Anatole Broyard Virtue is persecuted more by the wicked than it is loved by the good. Buddha The great menace to the life of an industry is industrial self-complacency. Joyce Carol Oates

I see myself more as an ambassador of the game. And I hope to bring

chess to a higher level in the United States. Making bigger tournaments, more interesting events. Making it a respectable profession for young people to be able to pursue in the future. Maurice Ashley The ownership of computers in the home is far less than the statistics show, because usually when the computer breaks down once, that is the end of it for a long, long time. They do not have the money or incentive to get the computer repaired. Major Owens All I ever wanted to do was to make food accessible to everyone; to show that you can make mistakes - I do all the time - but it doesn't matter. Jamie Oliver Hopefully, we can build a rivalry and we'll be able to do this a lot. Make a legacy, then retire champions. Serena Williams Art is man's expression of his joy in labor. Henry Kissinger A child's education should begin at least one hundred years before he is born. Oliver Wendell Holmes, Sr. Today, if you're not an alcoholic, you're nobody. D

True love doesn't happen right away; it's an ever-growing process. It develops after you've gone

through many ups and downs, when you've suffered together, cried together, laughed together. Ricardo Montalban In the over two centuries since the signing of the Declaration of Independence, millions of Americans have bravely served our nation in uniform so that all generations can continue to enjoy those same liberties. Doc Hastings Forgiveness is the economy of the heart... forgiveness saves the expense of anger, the cost of hatred, the waste of spirits. Hannah More Ah! destructive Ignorance, what shall be done to chase thee out of the World! Cotton Mather The only way to enjoy anything in this life is to earn it first. Ginger Rogers I don't approve of sunbathing, and it's bad for you. David Attenborough For me it's a simple sport and a simple way to live these seven or eight years of maximum sport. Fernando Alonso

It just seemed too weird to me. I don't know, maybe they were smoking a

joint in the car downstairs from their parents' apartment. I had to go that far to put together a scenario of how they could have possibly recognized me. Marc Jacobs You can take wonderfully talented actors, wonderfully talented writers and producers, and, uh, do a wonderful show!... but if it doesn't hit with the public in two minutes, it's bye-bye. Charlotte Rae The only thing bad about winning the pennant is that you have to manage the All-Star Game the next year. I'd rather go fishing for three days. Whitey Herzog It is necessary to keep one's compass in one's eyes and not in the hand, for the hands execute, but the eye judges. Michelangelo Derive happiness in oneself from a good day's work, from illuminating the fog that surrounds us. Henri Matisse Terrible is the fight put up by the senses. Fight bravely! Conquer them you must. Swami Sivananda Ours is essentially a tragic age, so we refuse to take it tragically. D. H. Lawrence

In a completely integrated unit where you'd have white soldiers, particularly from southern states, serving

under black noncommissioned officers or officers... I think you would have a problem definitely. Omar N. Bradley There are a hell of a lot of jobs that are scarier than live comedy. Like standing in the operating room when a guy's heart stops, and you're the one who has to fix it! Jon Stewart The problem of social organization is how to set up an arrangement under which greed will do the least harm, capitalism is that kind of a system. Milton Friedman Don't be humble... you're not that great. Golda Meir When an inner situation is not made conscious, it appears outside as fate. Carl Jung When I first read the script, I realized that Katie would have to be played as a rather down-to-earth person. Dorothy McGuire People need dreams, there's as much nourishment in 'em as food. Dorothy Gilman

Jigsaw Lady is the working title of a science fiction novel I've had in my

head for darn near 15 years. I think I'll start work on it next year (in all my spare time) but I'd like to get it finished some day. Raymond E. Feist The only way to save a rhinoceros is to save the environment in which it lives, because there's a mutual dependency between it and millions of other species of both animals and plants. David Attenborough Shaw is like a train. One just speaks the words and sits in one's place. But Shakespeare is like bathing in the sea - one swims where one wants. Vivien Leigh Well, it's wonderful to be identified strongly with my work. Ben Kingsley We would love to have other children. It hasn't happened. We haven't been lucky enough. Marg Helgenberger Think I'll win. Could be big. Bob Dole And ever has it been known that love knows not its own depth until the hour of separation. Khalil Gibran

Integrity is the first step to true greatness. Men love to praise, but are slow

to practice it. To maintain it in high places costs self-denial; in all places it is liable to opposition, but its end is glorious, and the universe will yet do it homage. Charles Simmons At home it's all Batman and Star Wars and they do gang up on me. Sometimes I don't want to dress up as Darth Vader or play train sets, so I'll go out for a drink with the girls. Sadie Frost Traveling to swimming meets took me beyond my small-town existence, gave me a hint of the exciting world outside of my own home. Esther Williams Gore's problem is that the issues are all on his side. Susan Estrich If you're not a competitor, you've just got to go home. Venus Williams There can be hope only for a society which acts as one big family, not as many separate ones. Anwar Sadat There is always some kid who may be seeing me for the first time. I owe him my best. Joe DiMaggio

All men dream, but not equally. Those who dream by night in the dusty recesses

of their minds, wake in the day to find that it was vanity: but the dreamers of the day are dangerous men, for they may act on their dreams with open eyes, to make them possible. T. E. Lawrence The unfortunate thing about working for yourself is that you have the worst boss in the world. I work every day of the year except at Christmas, when I work a half day. David Eddings Today, there are also buyers and sellers of all these energy commodities, just like there are buyers and sellers of food commodities and many other commodities. Kenneth Lay The only thing that white people have that black people need, or should want, is power-and no one holds power forever. James A. Baldwin That will only happen if I have a bout of amnesia or if I feel like mooning someone in the audience. Daryl Hannah We wanted to write the first prequels as a story that anyone could pick up. Kevin J. Anderson Acting is like roller skating. Once you know how to do it, it is neither stimulating nor

Any corporate policy and plan which is typical of the industry is doomed to mediocrity.

Where this is not so, it should be possible to demonstrate that all other competitors are at a distinct disadvantage. Bruce Henderson The closing of a door can bring blessed privacy and comfort - the opening, terror. Conversely, the closing of a door can be a sad and final thing - the opening a wonderfully joyous moment. Andy Rooney I figure no matter how old you are, it's always going to be your first marriage and no life experience is going to make you a better judge of who you should marry. Utada Hikaru Well, I've never been to Japan so I couldn't say. I do know that we have a bit of a following there however. Trevor Dunn Fear can be conquered. I became a better person and a better football player when I learned that lesson. Roger Craig Initial reports are encouraging. In the end of the day, it's going to be deeds, not words, that matter. Stephen Hadley Identity in the form of continuity of personality is an extremely important characteristic of the

I believe we can and should have it all. Lower deficits but higher spending. More

peace with a bigger military that goes off and kills terrorists and whatnot. A cleaner environment without forcing SUVs off the road. Craig Armstrong But I have always - ever since The Accidental Woman - written novels about individuals attempting to make choices in the context of situations over which they have no control. Jonathan Coe In the United States three new methods of transportation made their appearance at almost the same time - the steamboat, the canal boat, and the rail car.

Jean Paul Everything's fine today, that is our illusion. Voltaire Be the chief but never the lord. Lao Tzu

Design, in its broadest sense, is the enabler of the digital era - it's a

process that creates order out of chaos, that renders technology usable to business. Design means being good, not just looking good. Clement Mok We remain united with the British, and our allies around the world, in our resolve to defeat terrorism and bring those who commit these acts to justice. Doc Hastings Training's completely different now. It used to be a lot of running and work without the ball. Now it's all with the ball, which any player loves. Frank Lampard I believe that you should put the right people around you, people that will not let anything go wrong. Carmelo Anthony I want to thank my mother and my father for teaching me to have a dream. You are seeing my dream come true. Louise Fletcher A certain degree of neurosis is of inestimable value as a drive, especially to a psychologist. Sigmund Freud I did not lose this election, or had a bad result compared with what we might have got because of Islam. Imran Khan

The conscience of the world is so guilty that it always assumes that people who

investigate heresies must be heretics; just as if a doctor who studies leprosy must be a leper. Indeed, it is only recently that science has been allowed to study anything without reproach. Aleister Crowley Ask yourself: was there anything I could have done to prevent the situation? If the answer is yes, do something now and become a better person for it. Dave Pelzer We're charging what we're worth and we don't think we're worth $22.50. We take a lower cut than Pearl Jam. Tre Cool None of my characters are rich or famous, and the situations they find themselves in could happen to anyone. Nicholas Sparks This is an industry that doesn't have the common cold... It has cholera. Emanuel Azenberg If you go to a game nervous, you make a mistake. Miguel Cabrera All June I bound the rose in sheaves, Now, rose by rose, I strip the leaves. Robert Browning

When we're in a peak, we make a ton of money, and as soon as

we make a ton of money, we're desperately looking for a way to spend it. And we diversify into areas that, frankly, we don't know how to run very well. William Clay Ford, Jr. The Japanese version comes with a translation, but that's different from the lyrics, so people could look things up and find a translation of their own if they're interested. Utada Hikaru Guys would sleep with a bicycle if it had the right color lip gloss on. They have no shame. They're like bull elks in a field. Tori Amos We're all given some sort of skill in life. Mine just happens to be beating up on people. Sugar Ray Leonard Optimism is essential to achievement and it is also the foundation of courage and true progress. Nicholas M. Butler Even a cock crows over his own dunghill. Navjot Singh Sidhu The Pledge of Allegiance says, 'liberty and justice for all'. Patricia Schroeder

When I'm reading material, if I'm a little bit afraid of a part and I'm

willing to admit that to myself, then I'll do it, definitely. If I'm worried about being able to do it, to get it - I absolutely just love it. Jack Lemmon At some point, you can't lift this boulder with just your own strength. And if you find that you need to move bigger and bigger boulders up hills, you will need more and more help. Vint Cerf There is an element of autobiography in all fiction in that pain or distress, or pleasure, is based on the author's own. But in my case that is as far as it goes.

Ross Perot An error is the more dangerous in proportion to the degree of truth which it contains. Henri Frederic Amiel

If you can get a teen leader in each sector of a student population, you

can pull people in. Everybody wants to get involved, but most are too afraid. When they see a person they think is cool leading it, they're first to join. Andrew Shue Obviously everyone wants to be successful, but I want to be looked back on as being very innovative, very trusted and ethical and ultimately making a big difference in the world. Sergey Brin While there continues to be differences, the important point is that all citizens and elected officials use democratic and legal avenues for solving those differences. Boris Trajkovski The best plan is to profit by the folly of others. Pliny the Elder I am now almost certain that we need more radiation for better health. John Cameron Any man who has $10,000 left when he dies is a failure. Errol Flynn Half the battle is selling music, not singing it. It's the image, not what you sing. Rod Stewart

In any event, the proper question isn't what a journalist thinks is relevant but what

his or her audience thinks is relevant. Denying people information they would find useful because you think they shouldn't find it useful is censorship, not journalism. Michael Kinsley I never wanted to retire. I wanted to kind of shift my work pattern so I could stay fresh and invigorated, and use the experience that I had gained in 30 years, but in a slightly different direction. Bill Kurtis Violent behavior exists in one's psychological makeup much deeper than the level that receives information from television or movies. Richard King Life is not lost by dying; life is lost minute by minute, day by dragging day, in all the thousand small uncaring ways. Stephen Vincent Benet I think maybe the English don't want to try something and look stupid, because they are a bit reserved. Alain Prost There are no exceptions to the rule that everybody likes to be an exception to the rule. Charles Osgood We shall not grow wiser before we learn that much that we have d

When my dad first started out in the police force, wearing the uniform was a

sense of pride, and it was respected in the community for what the police force was all about. Unfortunately today, the uniform is a target. Jerry Doyle A small species of pinus was much prized, and, when dwarfed in the manner of the Chinese, fetched a very high price; it is generally grafted on a variety of the stone pine. Robert Fortune Now that our media companies and it appears are policies are traded for cash, what is there to check the continuing consolidation of power and diminishing of democracy? Joichi Ito Death has a tendency to encourage a depressing view of war. Donald Rumsfeld Because I'm not perfect looking, I get to play better roles. Juliette Lewis Sweet is the memory of past troubles. Marcus Tullius Cicero It hasn't been a problem with Ben, I think we worked together very well, we don't have rows. David Crystal

Let it be your constant method to look into the design of people's actions, and

see what they would be at, as often as it is practicable; and to make this custom the more significant, practice it first upon yourself. Marcus Aurelius For as long as I care to remember, religion, like the striptease, has always been a display of the power of suggestion. Like the Virgin Birth, it has all too often supported an immaculate deception. Bernard Katz The forces that are driving mankind toward unity and peace are deep-seated and powerful. They are material and natural, as well as moral and intellectual. Arthur Henderson Youth is the time of getting, middle age of improving, and old age of spending. Anne Bradstreet In Ski Party we are reading up on how to have fun without sex. That was the theme of every AIP picture! Dwayne Hickman Time wounds all heels. Jane Sherwood Ace If a man constantly aspires is he not elevated? Henry David Thoreau

Therefore, every country has to understand that fighting against international terrorism is not for the

sake of the United States, but for the sake of themselves, and, to a larger extent, in the name of stability of international relations. Omar Bongo You're a Catholic in Italy when you're born, it's unthinkable to stop being Catholic. You just take the rules a lot more seriously, because it pervades your culture.

Horatio Nelson Truth, like a torch, the more it's shook it shines. William Hamilton I had an interest, for as long as I could remember, in theater. Antoinette Perry I am the best in baseball. Reggie Jackson Prosperity is necessarily the first theme of a political campaign. Woodrow Wilson

A graphic representation of data abstracted from the banks of every computer in the human

system. Unthinkable complexity. Lines of light ranged in the nonspace of the mind, clusters and constellations of data. Like city lights, receding. William Gibson What breadth, what beauty and power of human nature and development there must be in a woman to get over all the palisades, all the fences, within which she is held captive! Alexander Herzen I would rather be kept alive in the efficient if cold altruism of a large hospital than expire in a gush of warm sympathy in a small one. Aneurin Bevan A single lie destroys a whole reputation of integrity. Baltasar Gracian Men mourn for what they have lost; women for what they ain't got. Josh Billings One of the first groups we signed was the Fifth Dimension. Johnny Rivers If I can't see the humor in it, how am I going to be funny? Casey Affleck

Failure should be our teacher, not our undertaker. Failure is delay, not defeat. It is

a temporary detour, not a dead end. Failure is something we can avoid only by saying nothing, doing nothing, and being nothing. Denis Waitley I'm fortunate that the books sell, but even more fortunate to live in Chatham, to be very happily married and to have, on the whole, a fairly clear conscience. Bernard Cornwell I know of no greater work for humanity than in the cause of peace, which can only be achieved by the earnest efforts of nations and peoples. Frank B. Kellogg Only after I faced the unhappiness of my first marriage did I start on the path of personal growth. Judith Wright I don't want my album coming out with a 'G' rating. Nobody would buy it. Donny Osmond I am an artist... I am here to live out loud. Emile Zola I think there's been a big problem between religion, or organized religion, and spirituality. Dave Davies

Despite the increase in world attention toward Sudan in the past months, the genocide in

Darfur has continued without any serious attempt by the Sudanese government to do what governments primarily exist to do, protect their citizens. Tom Allen We always see the innocent victims in the stories, and I am a little bored with that. I am much more interested in the price paid by the people who can fly. Bill Williams I try to look at this music career thing as the means to an end. And really, at the end of it, I see myself on a sailboat, sailing off the edge of the world. Michelle Shocked Okay, the experience itself was a pleasant experience. Betty Hill Love is the true means by which the world is enjoyed: our love to others, and others love to us. Thomas Traherne Conquered, we conquer. Plautus Words mean more than what is set down on paper. It takes the human voice to infuse them with deeper meaning. Maya Angelou

I am never at my best in the early morning, especially a cold morning in

the Yorkshire spring with a piercing March wind sweeping down from the fells, finding its way inside my clothing, nipping at my nose and ears. James Herriot You know, it's been President Clinton's dream that we'll have finally a fully integrated Europe; and the steps that NATO will take to expand to the East, that's a commitment. Warren Christopher Great joy, especially after a sudden change of circumstances, is apt to be silent, and dwells rather in the heart than on the tongue. Henry Fielding That's great advertising when you can turn Chicago into a city you'd want to spend more than three hours in. Jerry Della Femina Whatever fortune brings, don't be afraid of doing things. Herman Melville No truly great person ever thought themselves so. William Hazlitt People should think things out fresh and not just accept conventional terms and the conventional way of doing things. R. Buckminster Fuller

The nations were awakened from the sleep of death, as the words of eternal life

flowed from the Apostles' lips, - the temples of superstition were shut or destroyed, and churches were planted in every part of the civilized world. John Strachan Someone knocks at the door of an apartment to borrow salt or sugar, people run into each other in the elevator, and in this way become inscribed in the spectator's memory. Krzysztof Kieslowski Although I am basically self taught, I consider Debussy my teacher - the most important elements are colour, light and shadow. Toru Takemitsu I was lucky. I had a lot of really good influences. Brad Dourif I love comic books and always did as a kid. Rick Moody My dream has come true, now that I have passed it on. Mandy Patinkin At all times it is better to have a method. Mark Caine

A spirit, breathing the language of independence, is natural to Englishmen, few of whom are

disposed to brook compulsion, or submit to the dictates of others, when not softened by reason, or tempered with kindness. Joseph Lancaster How well I have learned that there is no fence to sit on between heaven and hell. There is a deep, wide gulf, a chasm, and in that chasm is no place for any man. Johnny Cash One must marry one's feelings to one's beliefs and ideas. That is probably the only way to achieve a measure of harmony in one's life. Napoleon Hill There are worse crimes than burning books. One of them is not reading them. Ray Bradbury Redeem thy misspent time that's past, And live this day as if thy last. Thomas Ken Good ideas are a dime a dozen, bad ones are free. Douglas Horton Nothing flatters a man as much as the happiness of his wife; he is always proud of himself as the source of it. Samuel Johnson

I understand them. I understand where they came from, what their lifestyle was there. But

my parents didn't push us to be like them. They said do whatever you think right, but remember the important things in life. Ofra Haza I used to go around looking as frumpy as possible because it was inconceivable you could be attractive as well as be smart. It wasn't until I started being myself, the way I like to turn out to meet people that I started to get any work. Catherine Zeta-Jones A dream is your creative vision for your life in the future. You must break out of your current comfort zone and become comfortable with the unfamiliar and the unknown. Denis Waitley War is the supreme drama of a completely mechanized society. Lewis Mumford Pop knew absolutely nothing about pro football. Wellington Mara After all is said and done, more is said than done. Aesop The world is weary of statesmen whom democracy has degraded into politicians. Benjamin Disraeli

Nonetheless, the research budgets of the Department of Defense are under enormous stress-and they are

extremely important because they support more than 40 percent of all federal funding for engineering schools across the country. So the threat was and is real. Charles Vest I think the state has some serious problems. Just look at the layoffs going on across the state, not just in Chicago. It affects the middle class. It pushes people down. Richard M. Daley I was in the game for love. After all, where else can an old-timer with one leg, who can't hear or see, live like a king while doing the only thing I wanted to do? Bill Veeck I think the only kind of acceptable evangelization is the evangelization of good example. Andrew Greeley The duty of a toastmaster is to be so dull that the succeeding speakers will appear brilliant by contrast. Clarence Budington Kelland Wealth is not his that has it, but his that enjoys it. Benjamin Franklin If I have caused just one person to wipe away a tear of laughter, that's my reward. Victor Borge

The public sector certainly includes the Department of Labor. Those are jobs that are available.

They are open and they are good paying jobs. The government as a whole has been actually retrenching under President Clinton's leadership. Alexis Herman I've always been the breadwinner and men don't like that. They turn on you. They bite the hand that feeds them. Eventually, too, they become very jealous of the love one has with an audience. Shirley Bassey In too many instances, the march to globalization has also meant the marginalization of women and girls. And that must change. Hillary Clinton Humor is the affectionate communication of insight. Leo Rosten The man who can drive himself further once the effort gets painful is the man who will win. Roger Bannister With the fans and the Toronto Maple Leafs organization, the way I've been treated here has been awesome. Mats Sundin One of the problems with the Internet is that a lot of times it is inaccurate. Vince McMahon

When one makes a Revolution, one cannot mark time; one must always go forward -

or go back. He who now talks about the 'freedom of the press' goes backward, and halts our headlong course towards Socialism. Vladimir Lenin Stunted varieties were generally chosen, particularly if they had the side branches opposite or regular, for much depends upon this; a one-sided tree is of no value in the eyes of the Chinese. Robert Fortune There's something about death that is comforting. The thought that you could die tomorrow frees you to appreciate your life now. Angelina Jolie To be at ease is better than to be at business. Nothing really belongs to us but time, which even he has who has nothing else. Baltasar Gracian There is no such source of error as the pursuit of truth. Samuel Butler American Pie speaks to the loss that we feel. That's why that song has found the niche that it has. Don McLean If you want to be happy for life, love what you do. Mary Higgins Clark

It really comes down to Mick. He's the one who was constantly trying to get

these five people in one room together. This is his love, his baby. It's his band, and there's nothing more he loves to do than get up on stage and play with us. Christine McVie The man who comes up with a means for doing or producing almost anything better, faster or more economically has his future and his fortune at his fingertips. J. Paul Getty Personally, I've found that the kind of thing that I like is going into somebody else's area and not playing their music but doing whatever I do in their area. Derek Bailey The conviction of our Ukrainian nation is embedded in the pages of its history. Viktor Yushchenko The counterfeit and counterpart of Nature is reproduced in art. Henry Wadsworth Longfellow On the whole, I tend not to listen to my peers. Robert Wyatt Gentle dullness ever loves a joke. Alexander Pope

Postmodernists believe that truth is myth, and myth, truth. This equation has its roots in

pop psychology. The same people also believe that emotions are a form of reality. There used to be another name for this state of mind. It used to be called psychosis. Brad Holland The naked thing was short-lived. It was only around for about six months because we thought it was shocking. Once people expected us to do it we kind of never did it again. Mark Hoppus My door will always be open to those who genuinely renounce violence and seek peaceful accommodation into our nascent democracy. Jalal Talabani Although it is not true that all conservatives are stupid people, it is true that most stupid people are conservative. John Stuart Mill Every mind must make its choice between truth and repose. It cannot have both. Ralph Waldo Emerson I haven't much opinion of words. They're apt to set fire to a dry tongue, that's what I say. Ellen Glasgow I don't go out without make up. I'm a woman, you know. Shakira

A whole army, though they can neither write nor read, are not afraid of a

platform, which they know is but earth or stone; nor of a cannon, which, without a hand to give fire to it, is but cold iron; therefore a whole army is afraid of one man. James Harrington Our ability to make a decision about the declaration is hampered by the British government being reluctant to give us the clarification which we require. Martin McGuinness More than four thousand programs produced and consumed. Some of them were pretty good, a great many of them were forgettable; but a handful may even be worth a book. Ted Koppel I want you to know that I am innocent - and that I will fight to clear my name. Martha Stewart I get offered a lot of the same type of thing... The teenage slasher movies. Casey Affleck I feel that my job is to create an atmosphere where creative people can do their best work. John Frankenheimer I have a beer belly. Christy Turlington

We must reject the idea that every time a law's broken, society is guilty rather

than the lawbreaker. It is time to restore the American precept that each individual is accountable for his actions. Ronald Reagan Writing and singing does give me some kind of release from the demons of my past, it is a therapy of sorts, but to be honest, my marriage played a more important role in the acceptance of myself than performance has ever done. Michelle Shocked We must move away from our dependency on fossil fuels, and I am glad that GM has invested over $1 billion in hydrogen fuel cells cars to meet this goal. Albert Wynn Art is too serious to be taken seriously. Ad Reinhardt He's too short, he's too... tall, he's... just not going to work. Ed Wood Some shows, like PPG, tape in a group session, which is always more fun because you can play off each other. Tara Strong I've lived, laughed, lost, and loved again the whole Shakespearian thing. Fran Drescher

Avon invented the concept of direct marketing and direct selling beauty. And that's still very

valid to us. We'll have a firm that will be around for another 114 years as strongly as it was the first 114. Andrea Jung We were the laughingstock of that first season... It was with great relish several years later that I received a TV Guide award for favorite actress on television. Roma Downey We have mistaken the nature of poverty, and thought it was economic poverty. No, it is poverty of soul, deprivation of God's recreating, loving peace. Thomas R. Kelly The male is a domestic animal which, if treated with firmness and kindness, can be trained to do most things. Jilly Cooper Politeness is half good manners and half good lying. Mary Wilson Little I'm not in this world to live up to your expectations and you're not in this world to live up to mine. Bruce Lee Artists should always think of themselves as cosmic instruments for storytelling. Ted Lange

But I have fun with the fright, work with it. You have to - that's

your timing, that beat of excitement. And when I go on stage, it's just like taking a step into heaven. Poof, you know? Poof - and there I am. Eddie Bracken Don't make art for other artists or for 'intellectuals', make art for people - and if you can touch just one person in a lifetime and make a difference - you have succeeded. Ray Conniff It is my mission to ensure that HIV-positive children and children with AIDS are no longer overlooked and that they begin receiving the treatment and care they deserve. Mike DeWine True strength lies in submission which permits one to dedicate his life, through devotion, to something beyond himself. Henry Miller Force always attracts men of low morality. Albert Einstein When you seek advice, do not withhold any facts from the person whose advice you seek. Abu Bakr There are a thousand weird untold stories in the Australian film industry, this has been one of them. Yahoo Serious

There may or may not be a God or gods; the Siblings do not concern

themselves with proving or disproving such a thing. By definition, gods are more powerful than men, and thus quite able to fend for themselves without help. Steve Perry If we have a chance of succeeding and bringing stability and democracy to Iraq, it will mean learning from our mistakes, not denying them and not ignoring them. Carl Levin In the first State of the Union of his second term, President Bush made clear to Americans tonight that he is not going to play the role of a lame duck President. Jim Sensenbrenner I will tell the truth wherever I please. Mary Harris Jones The kitchen may not get cleaned, and I have to accept that. I do the important things. Jasmine Guy Hope is the only universal liar who never loses his reputation for veracity. Robert Green Ingersoll The Tories, every election, must have a bogy man. If you haven't got a programme, a bogy man will do. Aneurin Bevan

When I and the other young artists were working in comics, our work carried with

it a particularly American slant. After all, we were Americans drawing and writing about things that touched us. As it turned out, the early work was, you might say, a comic book version of Jazz. Joe Simon Although his crusade in 1957 occurred at a time in our nation's history when race divided all, Reverend Graham refused to preach in segregated audiences. Jerry Moran The work an unknown good man has done is like a vein of water flowing hidden underground, secretly making the ground green. Thomas Carlyle I said when I came into office that I don't want to be a great leader; I want to be a good democrat. Jose Luis Rodriguez Zapatero I'm not the manager because I'm always right, but I'm always right because I'm the manager. Gene Mauch Every race is totally different. Bill Rodgers History in its broadest aspect is a record of man's migrations from one environment to another. Ellsworth Huntington

When I sit at my table to write, I never know what it's going to

be until I'm under way. I trust in inspiration, which sometimes comes and sometimes doesn't. But I don't sit back waiting for it. I work every day. Alberto Moravia Eventually stardom is going to go away from me. It goes away from everybody and all you have in the end is to be able to look back and like the choices you made. Matt Damon Sincerity is like traveling on a plain, beaten road, which commonly brings a man sooner to his journey's end than by-ways, in which men often lose themselves. John Tillotson God is sufficient in all ages for His church. John Nelson Darby At the bottom of enmity between strangers lies indifference. Soren Kierkegaard A person places themselves on a level with the ones they praise. Johann Wolfgang von Goethe Not all human souls but only the pious ones are divine. Georg Hermes

Punk is musical freedom. It's saying, doing and playing what you want. In Webster's terms,

'nirvana' means freedom from pain, suffering and the external world, and that's pretty close to my definition of Punk Rock. Kurt Cobain My goals are for the U.S. team to get to the second round of the World Cup and to win a championship here in the U.S. with my club team the Columbus Crew. Brian McBride Simulated disorder postulates perfect discipline; simulated fear postulates courage; simulated weakness postulates strength. Lao Tzu It's hardware that makes a machine fast. It's software that makes a fast machine slow. Craig Bruce I know you are here to kill me. Shoot, coward, you are only going to kill a man. Che Guevara My lips are big, but my talent is bigger. Fantasia Barrino Heroes are not known by the loftiness of their carriage; the greatest braggarts are generally the merest cowards. Jean-Jacques Rousseau

To be a gourmet you must start early, as you must begin riding early to

be a good horseman. You must live in France, your father must have been a gourmet. Nothing in life must interest you but your stomach. Ludwig Bemelmans I enjoyed the administrative work because it involved working with Congress, city council, and the mayor. I had never been a politician so it was fun - learning political maneuvering. Harold H. Greene Thomas Jefferson once said, 'We should never judge a president by his age, only by his works.' And ever since he told me that, I stopped worrying. Ronald Reagan The Temptations still stand today, not in spite of those who left us, but because of them. Otis Williams If you can handle a nightclub audience successfully, you can handle anything. Judy Holliday So, yes, I believe in angels, absolutely, I do. Della Reese Martyrdom is the only way a man can become famous without ability. Arthur Schopenhauer

The day is not far off when the economic problem will take the back seat

where it belongs, and the arena of the heart and the head will be occupied or reoccupied, by our real problems - the problems of life and of human relations, of creation and behavior and religion. John Maynard Keynes There's five cameras, I don't know how many people in the audience... depending on where we're taping, there can be anywhere from 300 to 5,000 people, so the contestants are nervous. Vanna White I slide my arm from under the sleeper's head and it is numb, full of swarming pins, on the tip of each, waiting to be counted, the fallen angels sit. Wislawa Szymborska An army without culture is a dull-witted army, and a dull-witted army cannot defeat the enemy. Mao Zedong It's a bomb. I've already called law enforcement. Let's get out of here. Richard Jewell Wisdom we know is the knowledge of good and evil, not the strength to choose between the two. John Cheever Color is born of the interpenetration of light and dark. Sam Francis

For me the much more significant question is what did the Americans do, if anything,

to help the Croatian army, because they are the ones that changed fundamentally the map of Bosnia, not the Bosnian army. John Pomfret If it is a crime to love the South, its cause and its President, then I am a criminal. I would rather lie down in this prison and die than leave it owing allegiance to a government such as yours. Belle Boyd I'm not going to worry about the Cure slipping down into the second division; it doesn't bother me because I never expected to be in the first division anyway. Robert Smith A table, a chair, a bowl of fruit and a violin; what else does a man need to be happy? Albert Einstein I'm not perfect in my walk but I want to do the right thing. Kirk Cameron Character may be manifested in the great moments, but it is made in the small ones. Phillips Brooks I think that fans are always looking for someone to blame. Wouldn't it be nice if they looked in the mirror? Michael Lewis

I believe that history has shape, order, and meaning; that exceptional men, as much as

economic forces, produce change; and that passe abstractions like beauty, nobility, and greatness have a shifting but continuing validity. Camille Paglia I would say that if you really wished to be a working member of the community, don't go out on strike because then there's no work and no potential of work. Dick Wolf We have found that where science has progressed the farthest, the mind has but regained from nature that which the mind put into nature. Arthur Eddington A true knight is fuller of bravery in the midst, than in the beginning of danger. Philip Sidney I have an old saying that the harder I work, the luckier I get. John Engler A leader does not deserve the name unless he is willing occasionally to stand alone. Henry Kissinger The only things one can admire at length are those one admires without knowing why. Eleanor Roosevelt

There were theoretical elements in the subjection of women and it is not possible to

avoid the conclusion that a large contribution was made to them by the Church. In part this was a matter of its hostile stance towards sexuality. J. M. Roberts When one is required to preside over the Church, and be entrusted with the care of so many souls, the whole female sex must retire before the magnitude of the task, and the majority of men also. John Chrysostom Even philosophers will praise war as ennobling mankind, forgetting the Greek who said: 'War is bad in that it begets more evil than it kills.' Immanuel Kant The hardest years in life are those between ten and seventy. Helen Hayes The only prize much cared for by the powerful is power. Oliver Wendell Holmes, Jr. I like fat people more then I like thin people, things are always a lot more funnier when they happen to fat people. Lloyd Kaufman Black as the devil, hot as hell, pure as an angel, sweet as love. Charles Maurice de Talleyrand

Some people would say my paintings show a future world and maybe they do, but

I paint from reality. I put several things and ideas together, and perhaps, when I have finished, it could show the future. H. R. Giger You want to have fun but you also want to work well. Sometimes I was quite happy at Ferrari, because we would have fun, but then they could not stop having fun and go back to the real work. Alain Prost There are still people in my party who believe in consensus politics. I regard them as Quislings, as traitors... I mean it. Margaret Thatcher I feel old when I see mousse in my opponent's hair. Andre Agassi Short words are best and the old words when short are best of all. Winston Churchill You can never get enough of what you don't want. Wayne Dyer I like to hike with my dog, Webster. It helps clear my mind. Calista Flockhart

He 's ruthless only because of his ideals. Unfortunately he doesn't succeed. The thing fails

and gets out of hand and takes charge of him. Idealism is the only excuse he could have and it's a great excuse. Terence Fisher I much preferred the approach at the anarchist camp, with its shared tasks and collective responsibilities. Everyone played their part. There was no division between workers and consumers. John Blair He comes to this other world and he has to reinvent himself. Again, it felt natural, even though I'd been working really hard trying to come up with something. Michael Chabon Greatness is not measured by what a man or woman accomplishes, but by the opposition he or she has overcome to reach his goals. Dorothy Height People are stunned to hear that one company has data files on 185 million Americans. Ralph Nader The mind cannot foresee its own advance. Friedrich August von Hayek Man is a creature of hope and invention, both of which belie the idea that things cannot be changed. Tom Clancy

The highly skilled workers at Lima have enabled the plant to grow far beyond its

original mission, now providing a wide variety of cutting-edge military vehicles and equipment to the Army, Navy, and Marine Corps. Michael Oxley I wanted to be a director and producer and writer, but in the early '40's the union wouldn't let you get through the gates. You couldn't get on a crew, or even learn to direct. Larry Buchanan There are always women who will take men on their own terms. If I were a man I wouldn't bother to change while there are women like that around. Ann Oakley Bitterness is like cancer. It eats upon the host. But anger is like fire. It burns it all clean. Maya Angelou The human mind evolved to believe in the gods. It did not evolve to believe in biology. E. O. Wilson The function of a citizen and a soldier are inseparable. Benito Mussolini We recognize that it is not only inbound but also outbound (cargo) that can pose a risk as well. Asa Hutchinson

I firmly believe that any man's finest hour, the greatest fulfillment of all that he

holds dear, is that moment when he has worked his heart out in a good cause and lies exhausted on the field of battle - victorious. Vince Lombardi A man ceases to be a beginner in any given science and becomes a master in that science when he has learned that he is going to be a beginner all his life. Robin G. Collingwood I regard the principle of conscription of life as a flat contradiction of all our cherished ideals of individual freedom, democratic liberty and Christian teaching. Roger Nash Baldwin Yes indeed I have gained a lot out of playing scales and etudes. James Galway I was up above it. Now, I'm down in it. Trent Reznor I used to pull rank and wait until the wind was blowing out. Joe Cronin It wasn't until late in life that I discovered how easy it is to say, 'I don't know.' W. Somerset Maugham

Searching for what I need, and I don't even know precisely what that is, I

was going from a man to a man, and I saw that all of them together have less than me who has nothing, and that I left to each of them a bit of that what I don't have and I've been searching for. Ivo Andric I would go to the deeps a hundred times to cheer a downcast spirit. It is good for me to have been afflicted, that I might know how to speak a word in season to one that is weary. Charles Spurgeon Nearly every man who develops an idea works it up to the point where it looks impossible, and then he gets discouraged. That's not the place to become discouraged. Thomas A. Edison If the script is telling the story well, that is your inspiration, and you do not need to go somewhere else. Tom Wilkinson Without knowing what I am and why I am here, life is impossible. Leo Tolstoy Wise men argue causes; fools decide them. Anacharsis A pity beyond all telling is hid in the heart of love. William Butler Yeats

I get very nervous whenever I think about it. I've never done a serious play,

and I have such awe of the woman - she's really my only idol. It's going to be a big stretch - certain people come out on stage and your face muscles automatically tense and you get ready to smile. Judy Holliday If we ever start communicating with living creatures from other planets, the number one priority is, how are you going to communicate information? Even between different cultures here on Earth, you get into communication problems. Story Musgrave The difference between mad people and sane people... is that sane people have variety when they talk-story. Mad people have only one story that they talk over and over. Maxine Hong Kingston There is, indeed, no single quality of the cat that man could not emulate to his advantage. Carl Van Vechten I'm not a genius. I'm just a tremendous bundle of experience. R. Buckminster Fuller If anybody seeks your advice, offer right and sincere advice. Abu Bakr If absolute power corrupts absolutely, does absolute p

We see in the electroencephalogram a concomitant phenomenon of the continuous nerve processes which take

place in the brain, exactly as the electrocardiogram represents a concomitant phenomenon of the contractions of the individual segments of the heart. Hans Berger When you find the right people, you never let go. The people who count are the ones who are your friends in lean times. You have all the friends you want when things are going well. James Lee Burke It was there I met my future wife, Celeste Landry, although our lives took us separate ways for many years and we were not to marry until more than ten years later. Eric Allin Cornell Emotion is often what we rely upon to carry us across the unfathomable voids in our intelligence. Bryant H. McGill Silence is the virtue of fools. Francis Bacon What's the use of happiness? It can't buy you money. Henny Youngman I remember my mother finding mud somehow and putting it on the sting. John C. Hawkes

There's a bootleg album that was recorded when I was 14 or 15, a compilation

of things live at different clubs. Songs like Girl from Ipanema and Cry Me A River. I don't know what the title of it is. Edgar Winter Occurrences in this domain are beyond the reach of exact prediction because of the variety of factors in operation, not because of any lack of order in nature. Albert Einstein All men and women have an equal need for love. When these needs are not fulfilled it is easy to have our feelings hurt, for which we blame our partner. John Gray Some people go to priests; others to poetry; I to my friends. Virginia Woolf It will never rain roses: when we want to have more roses we must plant more trees. George Eliot Ultimately, your theme will find you. You don't have to go looking for it. Richard Russo I can tell you that I'd rather be kissed by my dogs than by some people I've known. Bob Barker

We must continue, however, to send a strong message of resolve to the people of

Iraq, to our troops, to our coalition partners, and to the rest of the world that we, the United States of America, will stay the course and get the job done. John Warner To win the cause we all believe in, the spread of true democracy all over the world, we need to win by example, not just with speeches but by example; not just with military might but by gaining the respect of the world. Barbara Boxer It is in the nature of the New Yorker to be as topical as possible, on a level that is often small in scale and playful in intention. Brendan Gill You can do what you want to do. You can be what you want to be. Dave Thomas The problems with First Ladies is that you have to set the standard. My role is to be both star and slave. Imelda Marcos Most of us are imprisoned by something. We're living in darkness until something flips on the switch. Wynonna Judd When I heard Nirvana, it changed my life. Joel Madden

It's only fair that stable gay relationships of long standing should have the same rights

and responsibilities as married couples. I know the image of gay marriage is to some people horrific and ludicrous. Ian Mckellen A remarkable feature of the humanitarian movement, on both its sentimental and utilitarian sides, has been its preoccupation with the lot of the masses. Irving Babbitt Leadership is an active role; 'lead' is a verb. But the leader who tries to do it all is headed for burnout, and in a powerful hurry. Bill Owens They throw the ball, I hit it. They hit the ball, I catch it. Willie Mays Not only is it harder to be a man, it is also harder to become one. Arianna Huffington Art: If the object of poetry is, to make men, then poetry is the heir of prophecy. Muhammad Iqbal Meat and poultry is safe. It's safer than it's probably ever been. Dan Glickman

More time on paperwork means less time spent with students or preparing lessons for students.

It is as simple as that. The numerous reforms in the bill will go a long way to free our time of special educators. Christopher Bond Every man who attacks my belief, diminishes in some degree my confidence in it, and therefore makes me uneasy; and I am angry with him who makes me uneasy. Samuel Johnson Photography, as a powerful medium of expression and communications, offers an infinite variety of perception, interpretation and execution. Ansel Adams It's amazing how a competitive nature can turn a negative into something positive. Barry Mann Idleness is to the human mind like rust to iron. Ezra Cornell They say Rome wasn't built in a day, but I wasn't on that particular job. Brian Clough Self-confidence is the first requisite to great undertakings. Samuel Johnson

Over the years, I was never really driven to become a solo artist, but I

was curious to find out who I was as an individual creative person. It's taken some time, but now I feel I've truly paid my dues. I guess I'm at a point now where I'm more comfortable in my own skin. Annie Lennox The Church's note must be a supernatural note which distinguishes incarnation from immanence, redemption from evolution, the Kingdom of God from mere spiritual process. Arthur Middleton In the case of good books, the point is not to see how many of them you can get through, but how many can get through to you. Mortimer Adler Wanting to be someone else is a waste of the person you are. Kurt Cobain Have you ever felt like a phone call that's been disconnected? Shannen Doherty I was interested in implements of mass destruction - from an academic point of view. Dan Farmer There are certain words which are nearer and dearer to a man than any others. Nikolai Gogol

The artist one day falls through a hole in the brambles, and from that moment

he is following the dark rapids of an underground river which may sometimes flow so near to the surface that the laughing picnic parties are heard above. Cyril Connolly I don't remember what was going through my mind, but what was going through my body was fear and terror. I had been on the road with Johnny and working gigs and playing a lot of the organ clubs. John Abercrombie Don't ever forget two things I'm going to tell you. One, don't believe everything that's written about you. Two, don't pick up too many checks. Babe Ruth There is no need to do any housework at all. After the first four years the dirt doesn't get any worse. Quentin Crisp There are three classes of men; the retrograde, the stationary and the progressive. Johann Kaspar Lavater I get whatever placidity I have from my father. But my mother taught me how to take it on the chin. Norma Shearer Beauty doesn't need ornaments. Softness can't bear the weight of ornament

There's been a lot said about Social Security reform. What has been left out of

the debate is the double tax on Social Security benefits. I believe it's time to get rid of a tax that punishes seniors and discourages work and retirement savings. Rob Simmons The assertion that 'all men are created equal' was of no practical use in effecting our separation from Great Britain and it was placed in the Declaration not for that, but for future use. Abraham Lincoln It's said in Hollywood that you should always forgive your enemies - because you never know when you'll have to work with them. Lana Turner Rita Hayworth in Gilda... there's not a shot of her in that movie that isn't gorgeous. Donna Mills I drink for the effect, because it loosens up the tongue a little bit. Peter Steele I went window shopping today! I bought four windows. Tommy Cooper Jerry Rice made the decision and we honestly tried to accommodate him the best way we can. Al Davis

We can, for example, be fairly confident that either there will be a world without

war or there won't be a world - at least, a world inhabited by creatures other than bacteria and beetles, with some scattering of others. Noam Chomsky Only when human sorrows are turned into a toy with glaring colors will baby people become interested - for a while at least. The people are a very fickle baby that must have new toys every day. Emma Goldman If the Negro in the ghetto must eternally be fed by the hand that pushes him into the ghetto, he will never become strong enough to get out of the ghetto. Carter G. Woodson Desire is the essence of a man. Baruch Spinoza Where there is no property there is no injustice. John Locke To be totally understanding makes one very indulgent. Madame de Stael That's why so many stars are making pictures in Europe today. The tax guys are making thieves out of everybody. Bud Abbott

The need for this clinic is clear to me, to the veterans who are currently

forced to travel hours to receive care, and even to the Veterans Administration that itself identified creation of a clinic in this part of our state as a priority to be completed by 2006. Doc Hastings We don't have the family organization the way we used to. My father lives with us because we have the room. The greatest of all opportunities for our children is a complete family unit. Dixie Carter I hate the word gothic but I would like to try doing something like that. A gothic sound, not rock, but gothic. There's a difference. Kelly Osbourne It depends on the time of the year and who I've been talking to, I try to put people in the studio I like. Leo Kottke I am confident that the British people will not be intimidated by terrorism. Tom Allen The desire for safety stands against every great and noble enterprise. Tacitus You either mellow at 30, or your head explodes - take your choice. Laurell K. Hamilton

Only by strict specialization can the scientific worker become fully conscious, for once and perhaps

never again in his lifetime, that he has achieved something that will endure. A really definitive and good accomplishment is today always a specialized act. Max Weber A lot of people relate me to the blues but I don't think it's a hindrance at this point. I've been doing it long enough that I can do different things and be accepted. Paul Butterfield I'm not a do-gooder. It embarrassed me to be classified as a humanitarian. I simply take part in activities that I believe in. Gregory Peck Wit ought to be a glorious treat like caviar; never spread it about like marmalade. Noel Coward If a man is proud of his wealth, he should not be praised until it is known how he employs it. Socrates Attempt the impossible in order to improve your work. Bette Davis I envy people who drink - at least they know what to blame everything on. Oscar Levant

Words without deeds violates the moral and legal obligation we have under the genocide convention

but, more importantly, violates our sense of right and wrong and the standards we have as human beings about looking to care for one another. Jon Corzine The world does not speak. Only we do. The world can, once we have programmed ourselves with a language, cause us to hold beliefs. But it cannot propose a language for us to speak. Only other human beings can do that. Richard Rorty There's nothing like a play. It's so immediate and every performance is different. As an actor, you have the most control over what the audience is seeing. David Schwimmer I have opinions of my own, strong opinions, but I don't always agree with them. George H. W. Bush Daoist thought is the root of science and technology in China. Joseph Needham I have been unexpectedly confronted with my own mortality as I was told that I had cancer. Jodi Rell Why do we need another station where everyone has a gun? We already have BET. Greg Giraldo

I'm like, 'What world am I living in?' Aren't movies made to have something to

say? Why make a movie if you don't have something to say? What are you doing it for? Are you doing it because you want to make a lot of money? Jake Gyllenhaal To do anything truly worth doing, I must not stand back shivering and thinking of the cold and danger, but jump in with gusto and scramble through as well as I can. Og Mandino After all manner of professors have done their best for us, the place we are to get knowledge is in books. The true university of these days is a collection of books. Albert Camus Yeah, the first thing that comes to mind is not to try too hard. Leo Kottke Bad men are full of repentance. Aristotle Burt Lancaster was largely responsible for me becoming a director. Sydney Pollack Sometimes your friends are your lovers, or have been at one time. Axl Rose

A politics that is not sensitive to the concerns and circumstances of people's lives, a

politics that does not speak to and include people, is an intellectually arrogant politics that deserves to fail. Paul Wellstone First of all, do any of you here think it's a crime to help a suffering human end his agony? Any of you think it is? Say so right now. Well, then, what are we doing here? Jack Kevorkian As writers and readers, as sinners and citizens, our realism and our aesthetic sense make us wary of crediting the positive note. Seamus Heaney All wealth is the product of labor. John Locke Vision looks upward and becomes faith. Stephen Samuel Wise Besides black art, there is only automation and mechanization. Federico Garcia Lorca We climb to heaven most often on the ruins of our cherished plans, finding our failures were successes. Amos Bronson Alcott

Tears are sometimes an inappropriate response to death. When a life has been lived completely

honestly, completely successfully, or just completely, the correct response to death's perfect punctuation mark is a smile. Julie Burchill The natural liberty of man is to be free from any superior power on Earth, and not to be under the will or legislative authority of man, but only to have the law of nature for his rule. Samuel Adams I plays Joe's best friend. I am the only one he has ever been able to trust in his life, so I help him understand what happened to him when he was younger. Michelle Trachtenberg If I have to apply five turns to the screw each day for the happiness of Argentina, I will do it. Evita Peron Will it please you to answer me this and to give me a rule for then I will willingly submit to any truth. Anne Hutchinson Quality, service, cleanliness, and value. Cavett Robert The love we give away is the only love we keep. Elbert Hubbard

I'm delirious with joy. It proves that if you confront the universe with good intentions

in your heart, it will reflect that and reward your intent. Usually. It just doesn't always do it in the way you expect. J. Michael Straczynski I believe Mexico should dedicate 100% of its oil revenues to developing human capital and technological development. None of us politicians should be able to touch that money. Vicente Fox When I got hoarse, the manager would say, 'Drink this. Joplin used to drink this,' and I used to say, 'Joplin? Joplin's dead. Cyndi Lauper Despair is perfectly compatible with a good dinner, I promise you. William Makepeace Thackeray What I perceive, is above all justice, where everyone has the same law. Imran Khan My pitching philosophy is simple - keep the ball way from the bat. Satchel Paige Education is the best provision for old age. Aristotle

If you're a reporter, the easiest thing in the world is to get a story.

The hardest thing is to verify. The old sins were about getting something wrong, that was a cardinal sin. The new sin is to be boring. David Halberstam Here's the point - you're looking at affirmative action, and you're looking at marijuana. You legalize marijuana, no need for quotas, because really, who's gonna wanna work? Jon Stewart But when 9/11 struck, I had a change of heart. I knew the story had to be told because what happened at 9/11 is a direct result of what the economic hit men are doing. John Perkins You can't pick cherries with your back to the tree. John N. Mitchell Man is an idea, and a precious small idea once he turns his back on love. Albert Camus I had never really fired guns before, so this was all very new to me. Shane West It may be the cock that crows, but it is the hen that lays the eggs. Margaret Thatcher

I've been to nudist beaches, like twice. But honestly, I just don't want to see

these people naked. Most people look better with their clothes on, and the few that don't, look better than you, so why bother? Peter Buck There comes a pause, for human strength will not endure to dance without cessation; and everyone must reach the point at length of absolute prostration. Lewis Carroll A Christian is nothing but a sinful man who has put himself to school for Christ for the honest purpose of becoming better. Henry Ward Beecher I don't think Auden liked my poetry very much, he's very Anglican. Stevie Smith There's a fine line between character building and soul destroying. Colin Hay Never thank anybody for anything, except a drink of water in the desert - and then make it brief. Gene Fowler To be suspicious is not a fault. To be suspicious all the time without coming to a conclusion is the defect. Lu Xun

A child born to a Black mother in a state like Mississippi... has exactly the

same rights as a white baby born to the wealthiest person in the United States. It's not true, but I challenge anyone to say it is not a goal worth working for. Thurgood Marshall Human beings are so made that the ones who do the crushing feel nothing; it is the person crushed who feels what is happening. Unless one has placed oneself on the side of the oppressed, to feel with them, one cannot understand. Simone Weil One thing I have learned in my time in politics is that if one of the parties is shameless, the other party cannot afford to be spineless. Frank Lautenberg A community is like a ship; everyone ought to be prepared to take the helm. Henrik Ibsen True genius resides in the capacity for evaluation of uncertain, hazardous, and conflicting information. Winston Churchill Passionate hatred can give meaning and purpose to an empty life. Eric Hoffer Coming from a barely clothed childhood as a swimmer makes me really comfortable with my body. Estella Warren

But if the UN cannot or will not revise its rules in ways that establish

beyond question the legality of the measures the United States must take to protect the American people, then we should unashamedly and explicitly reject the jurisdiction of these rules. Richard Perle The best executive is one who has sense enough to pick good people to do what he wants done, and self-restraint enough to keep from meddling with them while they do it. Theodore Roosevelt He's not a child but he's childlike, he's not a grown up, he's not a kid, maybe he sounds like an elf on helium, we'll play with it. Tom Kenny In isolated or country places no man's life is safe. John White Geary Poor Darrell Hammond. What's he going to do when I leave office? William J. Clinton The best scheme of Phonetics is a stiff uncertain thing. Thomas Edward Brown My own personal, moral, spiritual, religious, etc. beliefs don't oppose same-gender marriage. Ed Case

I mark a script like an exam, and I try not to do anything under

50 per cent. Similarly with the part. And also film is a peculiar thing, parts don't necessarily read in script form anything like as well as they can do when it comes to materialising. John Hurt A habitual disuse of physical forces totally destroys the moral; and men lose at once the power of protecting themselves, and of discerning the cause of their oppression. Joel Barlow You need a balance in life between dealing with what's going on inside and not being so absorbed in yourself that it takes over. Nigella Lawson Man is more interesting than men. God made him and not them in his image. Each one is more precious than all. Andre Gide He could not see a belt without hitting below it. Margot Asquith If you have not taken the time to define what happiness means to you, what have your spent your whole life pursuing? Bo Bennett We make way for the man who boldly pushes past us. Christian Nestell Bovee

There was a second problem that was still not a technical problem... the project became

classified. I couldn't work on it after having gone to all that trouble. I was considered a security risk, so I could not get a clearance. Gordon Gould If you have a busy natural foods store in your community, give their bulk cornmeal a try: high turnover means the product will most likely be fresh. And if the cornmeal is organic, all the better. Jeremy Jackson You may tell a man thou art a fiend, but not your nose wants blowing; to him alone who can bear a thing of that kind, you may tell all. Johann Kaspar Lavater I don't spend sleepless nights over getting very bad reviews. Werner Herzog Red is the ultimate cure for sadness. Bill Blass It is divinity that shapes, not only your ends, but also your acts, your words and thoughts. Swami Sivananda The kids called me King of the Surf Guitar. I surfed sunup to sundown. Dick Dale

One of my great joys in life is being a pilot. There is a great

sense of freedom in soaring through the sky. You get a different perspective up there. Seeing things that aren't so apparent from the ground. Sonny Perdue I was 15, and the years of hard swimming had packed muscle on my frame and made me very strong. Not as strong as a football player, but strong enough to inflict heavy damage. Esther Williams We live in a connected world now. Some find that frightening. If people are downloading our music, they're listening to it. The internet is like radio for us. Jeff Tweedy We are not intimidated by the size of the armies, or the type of hardware the US has brought. Saddam Hussein One can not be just if one is not humane. Luc de Clapiers I get crushes on directors because they are so brilliant. Dorothy Malone In the name of Hypocrites, doctors have invented the most exquisite form of torture ever known to man: survival. Edward Everett Hale

Truth is, you make albums, and some of those songs are hits, and some of

the greatest hits albums have songs that weren't hits. You have a career, the reason why we're still around 10 years is that we do have successful songs. Adam Duritz Fascism is a worldwide disease. Its greatest threat to the United States will come after the war, either via Latin America or within the United States itself. Henry A. Wallace It's one of the strangest attributes of this profession that when we writers get exhausted writing one thing, we relax by writing another. Dan Simmons Nature cannot be tricked or cheated. She will give up to you the object of your struggles only after you have paid her price. Napoleon Hill The world's biggest power is the youth and beauty of a woman. Chanakya I like to move among painters, mathematicians, psychologists, people who can tell me something. George Woodcock We have to distrust each other. It is our only defense against betrayal. Tennessee Williams

Gemeoss

The great thing with film is that it doesn't have an ego. It's just a

film. Everybody that makes them has an ego, and the problem with awards and stuff like that is that it always affects the egos, and everyone gets stained by it in some way. And that can be fine and very innocent, but it can be horrible as well. Danny Boyle I have a taste for a kind of melancholy and for being an absolute victim of love. Arielle Dombasle I've never tried to do couture, because it's a whole different beast. Tommy Hilfiger As an actress, I was trained to show emotion I did not feel, or no emotion at all. Gene Tierney I come from a long line of people that write. My folks ran a weekly newspaper. Sam Wyly You know, one of my fears about living alone so long is that you get used to doing everything your own way. Terry McMillan No limits whatever are placed to the productions of the earth; they may increase forever. Thomas Malthus Theater is there to search for questions. It doesn't give you instructions. Vaclav Havel The best thing about be

He piled upon the whale's white hump the sum of all the general rage and

hate felt by his whole race from Adam down; and then, as if his chest had been a mortar, he burst his hot heart's shell upon it. Herman Melville There is a sign that hangs on my wall that says, 'What is it you want me to do to somebody else that is more important than what you want me to do for you?' Dave Obey The human race has had long experience and a fine tradition in surviving adversity. But we now face a task for which we have little experience, the task of surviving prosperity. Alan Gregg This is my chance to get out there and appease the fans of my music as well as show people that I do do standup comedy because a lot of people don't know that's where I started. Nick Cannon I hardly ever listen to any of our old stuff now. Once the songs have been recorded and put on to vinyl they become someone else's entertainment, not mine. Robert Smith How oft the sight of means to do ill deeds makes ill deeds done! William Shakespeare Fear is natur

Growing up in northern California has had a big influence on my love and respect

for the outdoors. When I lived in Oakland, we would think nothing of driving to Half Moon Bay and Santa Cruz one day and then driving to the foothills of the Sierras the next day. Tom Hanks The merit of a democratic regime rests on one's continual willingness to exchange views, and to compete on the basis of individual merit and capacities. Jose Eduardo dos Santos I love artists like Jon B, but I don't wanna be compared to anybody. I'm just doing my interpretation of rnb and how someone like me should be doing it. Brian Harvey In recent years, we have been sending a clear, consistent signal about the harms of drugs, particularly marijuana, which for most young people is the first illegal drug that they are exposed to. John Walters It is not necessary that whilst I live I live happily; but it is necessary that so long as I live I should live honourably. Immanuel Kant When I go to a concert, I can't believe that people pay lots of money to see a band that t

I wanted to be a doctor at one point and I also wanted to be

a pilot. I think if you grow up in a dodgy area, reality often beats down those ambitions as you get older. But with me that never really happened. James McAvoy I know what it's like to start a business. I know how extra ordinarily difficult it is to build something from nothing. I know how government kills jobs and, yes, I know how it can help from time- to-time. Mitt Romney I do, however, feel reasonably strongly the sense that the job of a piece of argumentative scholarly non-fiction is not the same as the job of a piece of fiction. China Mieville I was raised to think cursing makes you look unintelligent. Chloe Grace Moretz Listen to many, speak to a few. William Shakespeare I get recognized so much. It happens mostly when I'm in Starbucks. Katee Sackhoff I am bundle of nerves riddled with irrational fears. Tori Spelling I wrote songs all my life, where anyone wanted to hear them or not. Tommy Shaw As a teenager especially, I just wanted to do my thi

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

Instead of giving money to found colleges to promote learning, why don't they pass a

constitutional amendment prohibiting anybody from learning anything? If it works as good as the Prohibition one did, why, in five years we would have the smartest race of people on earth. Will Rogers Men of integrity, by their very existence, rekindle the belief that as a people we can live above the level of moral squalor. We need that belief; a cynical community is a corrupt community. John W. Gardner Because wherever I am today, I still owe it to God and I owe it to two men - the Honorable Elijah Muhammad and Malcolm X and of course, two very special women, my mother and my wife. Louis Farrakhan The only method by which people can be supported is out of the effort of those who are earning their own way. We must not create a deterrent to hard work. Robert Taft Each age tries to form its own conception of the past. Each age writes the history of the past anew with reference to the conditions uppermost in its own time. Frederick Jackson Turner While a lab Director can ge

If you are talented, you can really do anything. And if your heart is at

the right place and you have the passion for it, you can go for it and do it. Heidi Klum As an actor there are times when you're sitting around and wishing you were working, so you've got to just take it when it comes. Rosario Dawson The hardest decisions in life are not between good and bad or right and wrong, but between two goods or two rights. Joe Andrew I'm writing, and just doing the same thing I always do. Eddie Van Halen Being alone is very difficult. Yoko Ono Natural gas is great for America in so many ways. Ed Rendell Science does not permit exceptions. Claude Bernard You can't know about marriage until you try it. Greg Evigan History is the key to everything: politics, religion, even fashion. Eva Herzigova There's something about a humid, dusky evening that's kind of sexy. Sam Trammell

Regardless of how it's done, transaction costs will continue to plummet as computers get more

powerful. Low transaction costs are a wonderful thing if you're in the transaction business. They're wonderful for consumers too, making it cheaper and easier to buy things and creating new things to buy. Nathan Myhrvold If I have a rap album I'm dropping, then I want it to be the best rap album. Lil Wayne If you think about it, episodic filmmaking has not been something that people have really done. Tony Gilroy There are lots of moments that are great for an actress. Ruth Wilson I'm the ranking Republican on the foreign aid appropriations subcommittee, so I know Tunisia well. Lindsey Graham Every man has three characters - that which he exhibits, that which he has, and that which he thinks he has. Alphonse Karr Also, many consumers consider a critic to be like God Almighty. Robert Mondavi You just get the vibes of your surroundings and it rubs off on you. Gordon Lightfoot Actors rarely stay in touch with directors after they've filmed togeth

I have this home in New York, I have a long-term relationship with my boyfriend,

who's from Australia, and I had this business that I had maintain. Even though I wasn't actively shooting, there's a lot of peripheral work. Claire Danes I believe in a packed Heaven and an empty Hell. Pat Buckley Christ was only crucified once and for a few hours. Think of the hundreds of thousands whom Christ has been crucifying in a quiet way ever since. Samuel Butler I don't have a tailor, but I do love clothes. David Oyelowo The first time I stepped on an NBA court I became a businessman. LeBron James I say you must not win an unjust case by oaths. Aeschylus I don't wish my career on anyone. John Entwistle I didn't get depressed, I don't get depressed. Gordon Ramsay I don't like to stop. I believe you stop when you die. Lil Wayne Most of my friends are women - I quite fancied being a woman in a way. Alexei Sayle

France can never accept that it is no longer a dominating power in the world

of culture. This is true both of the French right and the French left. They keep thinking that Americans are primitive cowboys or farmers who do not understand anything. Adam Michnik Behind a leader there must be followers, but they should always be on the lookout for the main chance and ready to change sides if the current leader doesn't deliver. Mary Douglas The different ness of races, moreover, is no evidence of superiority or of inferiority. This merely indicates that each race has certain gifts which the others do not possess. Carter G. Woodson Watching a peaceful death of a human being reminds us of a falling star; one of a million lights in a vast sky that flares up for a brief moment only to disappear into the endless night forever. Elisabeth Kubler-Ross I wrote a novel for my degree, and I'm very happy I didn't submit that to a publisher. I sympathize with my professors who had to read it. David Eddings Believe me, when an actress is told that her v
