top of a mountain, whence the stone would fall back of its own weight. They had thought with some reason that there is no more dreadful punishment than futile and hopeless labor. Albert Camus It is always possible for the court to overreach its proper bounds and perhaps declare a lot of laws unconstitutional and frustrate the will of the majority in a way that it ought not be frustrated. William Rehnquist I read and walked for miles at night along the beach, writing bad blank verse and searching endlessly for someone wonderful who would step out of the darkness and change my life. It never crossed my mind that that person could be me. Anna Quindlen What we have to do... is to find a way to celebrate our diversity and debate our differences without fracturing our communities. Hillary Clinton Historic changes and challenges. Breakthroughs in human knowledge and opportunity. And yet, for vast numbers across the globe, the daily realities have not altered. Abdullah II of Jord...

your were a baby; a single tear, full and warm, rolled down your right cheek and you fell into a very deep and entirely dreamless slumber. Dave Sim The elegance and the quality - the talent is always in the literature. I start with the word and I base everything on that. It doesn't make any difference to me. Kate Mulgrew Comics as art. I do comics as comics, and my opportunity to tell stories. Simple. Basic. Let the characters have the excitement, not the package. That's where I come from. Jaime Hernandez The more the history of the World War and what led up to it is studied, the more clearly those tragic years become revealed as a vast collapse of civilization. Arthur Henderson I am happy with what I've done. Hanoi Hannah Constant kindness can accomplish much. As the sun makes ice melt, kindness causes misunderstanding, mistrust, and hostility to evaporate. Albert Schweitzer Before you can win a game, you have to not lose it. Chuck Noll I never do, I d...

with the court and just play politics with international conventions designed to protect our troops? I do not want to play that kind of politics. I am going to vote against Alberto Gonzales. Barbara Mikulski Now all we need is to continue to speak the truth fearlessly, and we shall add to our number those who will turn the scale to the side of equal and full justice in all things. Lucy Stone Distance does not decide who is your brother and who is not. The church is going to have to become the conscience of the free market if it's to have any meaning in this world - and stop being its apologist. Bono Every event that a man would master must be mounted on the run, and no man ever caught the reins of a thought except as it galloped past him. Oliver Wendell Holmes, Sr. If we long to believe that the stars rise and set for us, that we are the reason there is a Universe, does science do us a disservice in deflating our conceits? Carl Sagan I mean, I've been in a hundre...

Brad, I was excited about that; to work with a movie legend, which is Tony, I wouldn't have passed that up. Just to get to watch him and watch how he works. Marcia Gay Harden There are so many things about playing football that seem to me uniquely American. Anybody can succeed, anybody can play, but you've got to work hard to do it. Dean Cain It is easier to be a lover than a husband for the simple reason that it is more difficult to be witty every day than to say pretty things from time to time. Honore de Balzac I think that somebody with the resources and innovation and the idea is going to come out of nowhere and come up with a successful space travel program. Kevin J. Anderson I believe God rules all by his divine providence and that the stars by his permission are instruments. William Lilly It is not the function of the government to keep the citizen from falling into error; it is the function of the citizen to keep the government from falling into error. R...

of life can possibly be the same people who are for abortion? They are the same people who are for animal rights, but they are not for the rights of the unborn. Jim Gibbons I've lost all my money on these films. They are not commercial. But I'm glad to lose it this way. To have for a souvenir of my life pictures like Umberto D. and The Bicycle Thief. Vittorio De Sica The ability to deal with people is as purchasable a commodity as sugar or coffee and I will pay more for that ability than for any other under the sun. John D. Rockefeller It is not cowardly, quite the contrary, to seek to meet the adversary and know his intentions. However, it is cowardly, shameful and treasonable to lay down arms. Hassan II of Morocco Everybody smokes! Models, actresses, everyone! Don't they realize that it's gross? I understand it's an addiction, but it still pains me to see my friends do it. Kirsten Dunst When Time is spent, Eternity begins. Helen Hunt Jackson I...

Darwinian theory. If it is true that we have sprung from the ape, there are occasions when my own spring appears not to have been very far. Cornelia Otis Skinner I wish to express my hope that the efforts of our nations, nationalities and peoples in the direction of the development of our democratic order will be successful. Girma Woldegiorgis I wish our clever young poets would remember my homely definitions of prose and poetry; that is, prose = words in their best order; - poetry = the best words in the best order. Samuel Taylor Coleridge The problems of language here are really serious. We wish to speak in some way about the structure of the atoms. But we cannot speak about atoms in ordinary language. Werner Heisenberg I'm trying to trick people into thinking about the unthinkable by using pop culture images. John Shirley Because of my Portuguese heritage, I have an interest in all of the instrumentation that comes from Portugal and Brazil as well. Nelly Furtado ...

So, here you have two people - a famous American iconic couple - who actually like each other sexually, in marriage. Imagine. Shelley Long Already, China has undermined U.S. foreign policy in efforts to gain access to oil resources in Iran and Sudan. We simply cannot separate the political and economic values of oil. Jo Ann Emerson The conductor must breathe life into the score. It is you and you alone who must expose it to the understanding, reveal the hidden jewel to the sun at the most flattering angles. Charles Munch Movie distribution may very well have migrated fully to digital form by then, making a huge dent in the need to print film and physically distribute content. Vint Cerf Almost any difficulty will move in the face of honesty. When I am honest I never feel stupid. And when I am honest I am automatically humble. Hugh Prather Today's symphonic music is sponsored by the upper structures of society. Sun Ra Nothing is poetical if plain daylight is not poe...

is the artist that creates a work of art not the medium. It is the artist in photography that gives form to content by a distillation of ideas, thought, experience, insight and understanding. Edward Steichen Oh, yes. I knew I was weird by the time I was four. I knew I wasn't like other boys. I knew I was more fearful. I didn't like the rough and tumble most boys were into. I knew I was a sissy. Robert Crumb Let's put aside the politics and trust the people. Let's embrace the unique opportunity we all have; take the heat and make the hard and difficult decisions, knowing that we're doing it to make things better for the people of Illinois. Rod Blagojevich Cobb would have to play center field on my all time team. But where would that put Speaker? In left. If I had them both, I would certainly play them that way. John McGraw Acting isn't the be-all end-all. There are a lot of other things in my life that will bring me joy if I didn't act anymore. V...

thoughts and it becomes impossible for us to determine the exact instant when the 'I,' under another form, continues the task of existence. Gerard De Nerval What we know from World War I is that some of our troops had acute symptoms of exposure to chemicals, had bad health and died because of chemical exposure in World War I. Christopher Shays Engineering, medicine, business, architecture and painting are concerned not with the necessary but with the contingent - not with how things are but with how they might be - in short, with design. Herbert Simon How many of us have been attracted to reason; first learned to think, to draw conclusions, to extract a moral from the follies of life, by some dazzling aphorism. Edward G. Bulwer-Lytton All Americans should have access to quality, affordable health care. Christopher Dodd I speak fluent Hebrew and even dream in Hebrew when we visit there, once or twice a year. Natalie Portman They say miracles are past. William ...

in theater, but I didn't have the guts to go there alone. I knew only one person in New York, and that was a man. What I needed was a woman. That's the way Southern girls thought. Louise Fletcher The mass media in the days of newspapers and television it's hard to be able to find a story that's about just what you're interested in at the time you're interested in it. Guy Burgess But my question is, am I compromising by adapting my words for the audience and where is the line beyond which I am not adapting words, but changing my position? Joichi Ito There is no such thing as a little country. The greatness of a people is no more determined by their numbers than the greatness of a man is by his height. Victor Hugo These measures may not constitute an absolute guarantee of peace, but, in my opinion, they constitute the greatest preventive measures ever adopted by nations. Frank B. Kellogg Motherhood has a very humanizing effect. Everything gets reduc...

but a moderate merit with a large share of impudence is more probable to be advanced than the greatest qualifications without it. Mary Wortley Montagu Faith is an excitement and an enthusiasm: it is a condition of intellectual magnificence to which we must cling as to a treasure, and not squander on our way through life in the small coin of empty words, or in exact and priggish argument. George Sand In essence, if we want to direct our lives, we must take control of our consistent actions. It's not what we do once in a while that shapes our lives, but what we do consistently. Tony Robbins 'Thou shalt not get found out' is not one of God's commandments; and no man can be saved by trying to keep it. Leonard Bacon There is great force hidden in a gentle command. George Herbert Left wing, chicken wing, it don't make no difference to me. Woody Guthrie I go on expeditions for the same reason an estate agent sells houses - to pay the bills. Ranulph Fienn...

suffering in our experience, a bond that has become so close that we have come to think of suffering accepted with joy as the most authentic sign of love with any depth at all. Gabriel Marcel The keys to patience are acceptance and faith. Accept things as they are, and look realistically at the world around you. Have faith in yourself and in the direction you have chosen. Ralph Marston The Englishman wants to be recognized as a gentleman, or as some other suitable species of human being, the American wants to be considered a good guy. Louis Kronenberger I thought then, and I think now, that the invasion of Iraq was unnecessary and unjust. And I think the premises on which it was launched were false. Jimmy Carter The more guitars we have onstage the better, as I'm concerned. Bruce Dickinson You see, some non-Catholic friends of mine have questioned the depth of my faith because of the fact that I have a good education. Robert Vaughn A real book is not one that we r...

said, 'Here are 63 men, try to keep as many of them alive as you possibly can.' That was one of the more harrowing experiences of my life. David Eddings I think I would like to go into modelling. Of course, I don't know how to do it, and wouldn't be any good at it if I did, so I'm going to employ someone to walk the catwalks on my behalf. It would still be me, of course. Terry Pratchett There is much to support the view that it is clothes that wear us, and not we, them; we may make them take the mould of arm or breast, but they mould our hearts, our brains, our tongues to their liking. Virginia Woolf It takes a very strange person to enjoy fame, with all the by-products that come with it. It's not necessarily a thrill. Kelsey Grammer While awaiting sentencing, I decided to give stand-up comedy a shot. The judge had suggested I get my act together, and I took him seriously. Tim Allen I try to do the right thing with money. Save a dollar here and th...

freak fish, grotesque breeds of human; they fall into an animal stupor that gapes at existence and they think they have seen something. Soren Kierkegaard I've spent my career trying to help people without connections understand what's going on so that they have a chance of getting a fair shake from the connected and the powerful. Allan Sloan In all professions each affects a look and an exterior to appear what he wishes the world to believe that he is. Thus we may say that the whole world is made up of appearances. Francois de La Rochefoucauld Until 1943 I received no stipend. I was able to support myself as my mother was the daughter of a relatively wealthy cotton manufacturer. Frederick Sanger I felt the power of God as I'd never felt it before. James Irwin To guarantee success, act as if it were impossible to fail. Dorothea Brande I know what kind of person he is so they can say whatever they want. Emmanuel Lewis Compassion is no substitute for justi...

nor desire what it forbids him to desire. This is sufficient. The skillful artist will not alter his measures for the sake of a stupid workman. Mencius My skin is hard when it comes to my music. But with my movies, I'm still a virgin in a lot of ways. I'm not used to being shot down for no reason. Will Smith Now when you have administrators deciding what sexuality is, and what's a taboo and what's not in terms of content, you got guys, like, Trent Lott who equates homosexuality with a disease. Richard Serra There's a saying among prospectors: 'Go out looking for one thing, and that's all you'll ever find.' Robert J. Flaherty A man may be a tough, concentrated, successful money-maker and never contribute to his country anything more than a horrible example. Robert Menzies If you have to do it, then you're doing the right thing. Kathy Valentine Being a good psychoanalyst, in short, has the same disadvantage as being a good parent:...

machines. What business has science and capitalism got, bringing all these new inventions into the works, before society has produced a generation educated up to using them! Henrik Ibsen Do not brood over your past mistakes and failures as this will only fill your mind with grief, regret and depression. Do not repeat them in the future. Swami Sivananda The exercise of power is determined by thousands of interactions between the world of the powerful and that of the powerless, all the more so because these worlds are never divided by a sharp line: everyone has a small part of himself in both. Vaclav Havel Men fear death as children fear to go in the dark; and as that natural fear in children is increased by tales, so is the other. Francis Bacon Neither does man have gills for living in a water environment; yet it is not sinful to explore the depths of the oceans in search of food or other blessings. Walter Lang I'm a little thirsty, can I go drink out of your toilet? ...

They are: pride, greed, lust, envy, wrath, sloth, and gluttony. That pretty much covers everything that we do, that is sinful... or fun for that matter. Dave Mustaine Literature is my calling To hold up the mirror to my countrymen comes natural to me; and in the open field of invention I am not without hopes of giving them pleasure. Thomas Edward Brown New Orleans life is such a night life. The thing that comes up very often is that our day essentially doesn't start until midnight or 2 in the morning. Robert Asprin My country has contrived for me the most insignificant office that ever the invention of man contrived or his imagination conceived. John Adams The Bush Administration claims there is a Social Security crisis only to distract Americans from its serious mismanagement of the federal budget. Mark Dayton It is hard to be an individual in Japan. Haruki Murakami Nobody should be allowed to tinker with democracy. We will not discontinue the good works of the p...

I don't read what's handed to me. People say, 'Here, here's your speech, or here's an idea for a speech.' They're changed. Trust me. George W. Bush I'm not perfect, I do drink. I do smoke. Carson Daly can't go out and get messed up, he can't smoke in front of kids - he's the face of MTV, and he has to be good. But me? I can. Tara Reid Death is an endless night so awful to contemplate that it can make us love life and value it with such passion that it may be the ultimate cause of all joy and all art. Paul Theroux We rarely find anyone who can say he has lived a happy life, and who, content with his life, can retire from the world like a satisfied guest. Horace They tend to lay dormant for a while but often come back, and then the cheques come in! Thayer David To live in Australia permanently is rather like going to a party and dancing all night with one's mother. Barry Humphries Every day, hundreds of thousands of men an...

all the people that go down and out at the finish. The man who built my country place is blind now and penniless. That's terrible! Pearl White I was two and a half and my folks would put it on the record player and I would run around the house screaming, but I haven't been that hip since. Leo Kottke It's hard to say what drives a three year-old, but I think I had a sense that nature was my solace, and nature was a place in which there was beauty, in which there was order. Story Musgrave The most essential factor is persistence - the determination never to allow your energy or enthusiasm to be dampened by the discouragement that must inevitably come. James Whitcomb Riley The poetic notion of infinity is far greater than that which is sponsored by any creed. Joseph Brodsky I will lay my bones by the Ganges that India might know there is one who cares. Alexander Duff Don't speak ill of your predecessors or successors. You didn't walk in their shoes. ...

to let the information through. Although the brain absorbs universes of information, little is admitted into normal consciousness. Marilyn Ferguson All I can tell you really is if you get to the point where someone is telling you that you are not great or not good enough, just follow your heart and don't let anybody crush your dream. Patti LaBelle I bet some of you feel sorry for me. Well don't. Having an artificial leg has its advantages. I've broken my right knee many times and it doesn't hurt a bit. Terry Fox Life is the game that must be played, this truth at least, good friends, we know; so live and laugh, nor be dismayed as one by one the phantoms go. Arthur Rubinstein I think that there will always be a need for Housing and Urban Development. Alphonso Jackson One thing is sure. We have to do something. We have to do the best we know how at the moment... If it doesn't turn out right, we can modify it as we go along. Franklin D. Roosevelt I...

This is how you know we have a strong army, when you can actually tell your enemy exactly where your camp is and what its name is. Jon Stewart It's great to want to be part of something, but it's a different thing completely to believe wholly in some type of movement, and to give everything for that something. Brandon Boyd You may observe in all my lessons, that I tell you how the legs go, and those who are unacquainted with that, are entirely ignorant and work in the dark. William Cavendish A place is an area within an environment that has been altered in such a way to make the general environment more conspicuous. Carl Andre Ours is a government of checks and balances. The Mafia and crooked businessmen make out checks, and the politicians and other compromised officials improve their bank balances. Steve Allen Wherever we've travelled in this great land of ours, we've found that people everywhere are about 90% water. David Letterman It is in games th...

it weren't for that season, not as many people would know about my career. But it also kind of diminishes what I did in other years. Brady Anderson Help others and give something back. I guarantee you will discover that while public service improves the lives and the world around you, its greatest reward is the enrichment and new meaning it will bring your own life. Arnold Schwarzenegger After two world wars, the collapse of fascism, nazism, communism and colonialism and the end of the cold war, humanity has entered a new phase of its history. Hans Kung There is no religion in which everyday life is not considered a prison; there is no philosophy or ideology that does not think that we live in alienation. Eugene Ionesco Violin playing is a physical art with great traditions behind it. Vanessa Mae Men are apt to prefer a prosperous error to an afflicted truth. Jeremy Taylor Men are rather reasoning than reasonable animals, for the most part governed by the impulse ...

training again shortly. During the skating season, we skate on average 20 kilometres a day. On top of that, we're riding a lot and lifting a lot of weights. Clara Hughes I think I infuse the music with a new passion. Part of this is because I have fallen in love: I am in love with the New York Philharmonic. The chemistry has just been right. Beyond expectation. Lorin Maazel Some say that AIDS came from the monkeys, and I doubt that because we have been living with monkeys from time immemorial, others say it was a curse from God, but I say it cannot be that. Wangari Maathai If critics have problems with my personal life, it's their problem. Anybody with half a brain would realize that it's the charts that count. Mariah Carey I really did put up all my wedding pictures on my website. And I swear to you, my wedding pictures got downloaded just as much as my bikini pictures. Cindy Margolis I don't have any message in the music. Music will be fine as long as y...

plants, of a chemical substance of three elements,- carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen; animals of one of four elements, nitrogen being added to the other three. Asa Gray More than an end to war, we want an end to the beginning of all wars - yes, an end to this brutal, inhuman and thoroughly impractical method of settling the differences between governments. Franklin D. Roosevelt The future of healthcare security should include flexibility from the federal government to allow us to serve the state's most vulnerable citizens. Thomas Vilsack I try not to worry about what that's going to look like. If you worry about looking stupid, that's when you look really stupid. Rob Schneider The more the division of labor and the application of machinery extend, the more does competition extend among the workers, the more do their wages shrink together. Karl Marx It is an absolutely unique success of the church community to have introduced such an epoch-making change, in just a...

this stand would stay with me.' and 'Brethren, if I were to tell you all I know of the kingdom of God, I do know that you would rise up and kill me. Joseph Smith, Jr. I always performed when I was a child. My parents got very annoyed, because my brother and I had our little bedrooms upstairs, and I would plaster the house with posters with arrows pointing upstairs. Franka Potente We're dealing with sophisticated customers. What's most important to these women is individuality. I have to create things she'll want to wear, no matter who she is. Oscar de la Renta If every year is a marble, how many marbles do you have left? How many sunrises, how many opportunities to rise to the full stature of your being? Joy Page There's always pressure, a great deal of pressure, when writing, since my first books were so successful. Nicholas Sparks My fate cannot be mastered; it can only be collaborated with and thereby, to some extent, directed. Nor am I the cap...

with. You could always rely on him to be available for a short pass, allowing you time to clear a ball. He would never give the ball away. Richard Gough Creation is not taking place now, so far as can be observed. Therefore, it was accomplished sometime in the past, if at all, and thus is inaccessible to the scientific method. Henry M. Morris The idea that men are created free and equal is both true and misleading: men are created different; they lose their social freedom and their individual autonomy in seeking to become like each other. David Riesman Although you may spend your life killing, You will not exhaust all your foes. But if you quell your own anger, your real enemy will be slain. Nagarjuna If wrinkles must be written upon our brows, let them not be written upon the heart. The spirit should never grow old. John Kenneth Galbraith The musicians recommend that I sing a sing the way it is written the first time and then start to look for other notes that aren'...

oneself from this fundamental division; and from the antagonism between poor and rich means abstracting oneself from fundamental facts. Joseph Stalin Composers in the old days used to keep strictly to the base of the theme, as their real subject. Beethoven varies the melody, harmony and rhythms so beautifully. Johannes Brahms There's only one cure for what's wrong with all of us pitchers, and that's to take a year off. Then, after you've gone a year without throwing, quit altogether. Jim Palmer The deviation of man from the state in which he was originally placed by nature seems to have proved to him a prolific source of diseases. Edward Jenner Anti-Semitism is the rumour about the Jews. Theodor Adorno Without initiative, leaders are simply workers in leadership positions. Bo Bennett With any part you play, there is a certain amount of yourself in it. There has to be, otherwise it's just not acting. It's lying. Johnny Depp Your present circu...

switch over to Linux because they can now use their Exchange server for calendaring and collaboration from their Linux desktop. Nat Friedman We are thinking ahead to long-term care, aware that many folks don't plan ahead and won't be ready. We want to see to it that people will have choices. Christine Gregoire Making social comment is an artificial place for an artist to start from. If an artist is touched by some social condition, what the artist creates will reflect that, but you can't force it. Susan Sontag Lost - yesterday, somewhere between sunrise and sunset, two golden hours, each set with sixty diamond minutes. No reward is offered, for they are gone forever. Horace Mann It does not do to leave a live dragon out of your calculations, if you live near him. J. R. R. Tolkien Thus Christian humanism is as indispensable to the Christian way of life as Christian ethics and a Christian sociology. Christopher Dawson The first principle of a civilized state...

been said of the sea. The Spray was in the midst of the turbulent Gulf Stream itself. She was jumping like a porpoise over the uneasy waves. Joshua Slocum Personally, I would say the 'master' of this whole thing is fate... Whoever is on the playing field is fair game, and it's up to them to avoid being used. Cliff Burton It's kind of beating a dead horse if you're talking about going out and saying wrestling's fake, or this or that. People don't want to hear that. They want to hear, they wanted to find an inside story. Owen Hart The small businessman is smart; he realizes there's no free lunch. On the other hand, he knows where to go to get a good inexpensive sandwich. Adam Osborne You never really know as an actor; it's completely out of your control, in terms of editing, and music, and film stock, shot selection, and what takes they use. Aaron Eckhart Whether animals admit it or not, they and I communicate. Carolyn Gold Heilbrun S...

Now I want to do stuff that really makes me happy. Although I'm still trying to work out what that is. But for me there are always constants. Martin Henderson I am fond of depicting the lives of young folks for one thing, and if you have parts for girls or young men, you must absolutely have young people to fill them - that is generally acknowledged now. D. W. Griffith It's always hard to predict what's coming up next. My main guess is that content creators will increasingly start using BitTorrent to distribute their own work directly. Bram Cohen In the tumult of men and events, solitude was my temptation; now it is my friend. What other satisfaction can be sought once you have confronted History? Charles de Gaulle Freedom is just Chaos, with better lighting. Alan Dean Foster The momentous thing in human life is the art of winning the soul to good or evil. Francis Bacon Whenever a man's friends begin to compliment him about looking young, he may be sur...

if somebody writes a great song, it's timeless that we as humans are going to feel something for that and there's going to be a real appreciation. Art Garfunkel I didn't say I wouldn't go into ghetto areas. I've been in many of them and to some extent I would say this; if you've seen one city slum, you've seen them all. Spiro T. Agnew Every fundamentalist movement I've studied in Judaism, Christianity and Islam is convinced at some gut, visceral level that secular liberal society wants to wipe out religion. Karen Armstrong It is not for the State Department or even the Secretary of State to say when and how the resources of the American people will be spent. Mike Pence I'd read things, like people criticizing me. But no one likes to read stuff about that, and probably the main thing that was getting to me was me mum's illness. Jack Osbourne Many women do not recognize themselves as discriminated against; no better proof could be fo...

facts, and they cannot tell a story. They know how to explain their quarterly results, but they don't know how to explain what they mean. Frank Luntz The high point of civilization is that you can hate me and I can hate you but we develop an etiquette that allows us to deal with each other because if we acted solely upon our impulse we'd probably go to war. Stanley Crouch Most cornmeal producers don't tell you when their cornmeal was milled, which makes it difficult to know how long the product has been sitting in the store before you bought it. Jeremy Jackson It is only imperfection that complains of what is imperfect. The more perfect we are the more gentle and quiet we become towards the defects of others. Joseph Addison You've got to think lucky. If you fall into a mudhole, check your back pocket - you might have caught a fish. Darrell Royal I could easily not be the person that people know. Kenneth Edmonds The most costly of all follies is to beli...

not less an insuperable obstacle to an uniformity of interests. The protection of these faculties is the first object of government. James Madison My main worry is that after a certain point you become so identified with a character and a series that you might not be able to get work when your show goes off the air. Martin Milner No matter how vast, how total, the failure of man here on earth, the work of man will be resumed elsewhere. War leaders talk of resuming operations on this front and that, but man's front embraces the whole universe. Henry Miller Companies are not charitable enterprises: They hire workers to make profits. In the United States, this logic still works. In Europe, it hardly does. Paul Samuelson One moment you appear to be riding the crest of a wave, only to have the rug pulled away from you, bringing you back down to earth with a sickening thud. John Barrow The natural man has only two primal passions, to get and to beget. William Osler And ...

as she had expected he would. He loved it; he loved me. Suddenly he was thinking of me for everything: underwear, jeans, suits, even the Escape fragrance campaign. Michael Bergin I tell myself that God gave my children many gifts - spirit, beauty, intelligence, the capacity to make friends and to inspire respect. There was only one gift he held back - length of life. Rose Kennedy In fact, even the perception of a resurgence in crime can be enough to paralyze business momentum and destroy the sense of security that a vibrant and progressive city requires. Alan Autry The winner must promote social jusitce, remove corruption and discrmination, and stand against political, cultural and economic plots. Ali Khamenei Why do Greeks always open restaurants that fail? George Chakiris I was asked about doing a nude shoot for men's magazine GQ. I thought it was the funniest thing I'd ever heard. Julie Walters People who cannot recognize a palpable absurdity are very much ...

representation of man's belief in humanity, his need for individual dignity, his beliefs in the cooperation of men, and, through cooperation, his ability to find greatness. Minoru Yamasaki Once the amateur's naive approach and humble willingness to learn fades away, the creative spirit of good photography dies with it. Every professional should remain always in his heart an amateur. Alfred Eisenstaedt I think the biggest problem in the world is that we have a generation of young people, and maybe two, who don't think it's going to get any better. John Denver He who exercises government by means of his virtue may be compared to the north polar star, which keeps its place and all the stars turn towards it. Confucius Each generation takes the earth as trustees. We ought to bequeath to posterity as many forests and orchards as we have exhausted and consumed. Julius Sterling Morton I usually refer to myself as Hispanic. Andres Serrano There is no such thing...

of the fair sex creates his from all the lovely women he has found, from those that could be found, and those who are impossible to find. Charles Baudelaire Shall I tell you what the real evil is? To cringe to the things that are called evils, to surrender to them our freedom, in defiance of which we ought to face any suffering. Lucius Annaeus Seneca The Internet is just bringing all kinds of information into the home. There's just a lot of distraction, a lot of competition for the parent's voice to resonate in the children's ears. Phil McGraw I'm human and I've played my butt off for ten years. I'm not a loafer, I'm not a jerk, I'm a baseball player. Reggie Jackson There exist limitless opportunities in every industry. Where there is an open mind, there will always be a frontier. Charles Kettering Last year we had so many people coming in and out they didn't bother to sew their names on the backs of the uniforms. They just put them th...

anything, I will venture it upon the abounding fullness of God - upon the assurance that, as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are His ways higher than our ways, and His thoughts than our thoughts. Henry Norris Russell I write when the urge hits me, getting the words down as fast as I can type and then I step back from what I just wrote and start a dialectical process where I begin challenging my own writing. Donald McKay It's not the last one. Five's out, six is coming out in November, that's a single chapter, and then seven is the big horrifying one. And I think a couple after that to wrap the thing up. Eddie Campbell Most of the luxuries and many of the so-called comforts of life are not only not indispensable, but positive hindrances to the elevation of mankind.
