is realize that there is abundance all around you and focus on the abundance and not your lack and as night follows day abundance will come to you. Sydney Madwed September 11 is one of our worst days but it brought out the best in us. It unified us as a country and showed our charitable instincts and reminded us of what we stood for and stand for. Lamar Alexander Quantum computation is... a distinctively new way of harnessing nature... It will be the first technology that allows useful tasks to be performed in collaboration between parallel universes. David Deutsch I think if you ask any of us here, we all dreamed of ending up on Saturday Night Live. I remember thinking, 'I'll just keep doing this as long as I can get away with it.' Tina Fey When I'm writing, I am concentrating almost wholly on concrete detail: the color a room is painted, the way a drop of water rolls off a wet leaf after a rain. Donna Tartt Men who do things without being told draw the

younger for a specific reason. It seemed like I was getting younger every year that I was on the show. I think there was a reference to me being 15, then 14. Michelle Trachtenberg Singing is not indulged in by Rotary clubs of some countries and all clubs are given full privilege to do as they please about including it in their programs. Paul Harris We need to take steps to strengthen and mend Social Security so that its promise of a secure retirement is just as real for seniors in the future as it is today. Herb Kohl It is a sign of a dull nature to occupy oneself deeply in matters that concern the body; for instance, to be over much occupied about exercise, about eating and drinking, about easing oneself, about sexual intercourse. David Bailey To be happy with a man you must understand him a lot and love him a little. To be happy with a woman you must love her a lot and not try to understand her at all. Helen Rowland The very success of medicine in a material way may no

precious but as sacred. He is willing to risk his life in its defense and is conscious that he gains protection while he gives it. Andrew Jackson I don't think it's blowing my own horn to say the show is not as good. There was chemistry there that took years and years to build and now that's gone. The commentary is lacking. Jerry Lawler I had no idea that he was going to write that, but I've always believed that insecurity was what would keep you always in your innocence, no matter what the business did. Sally Kirkland Those who are born of parents broken with old age, or of such as are not yet ripe or are too young, or of drunkards, soft or effeminate men, want a great and liberal ingenuity or wit. Thomas Willis Before our kids start coming home from Iraq in body bags and women and children start dying in Baghdad, I need to know, what did Iraq do to us? Susan Sarandon The fundamental law of the militia is, that it be created, directed and commanded by th

area. I've said that everywhere. The uneducated child is not just my problem, it's the state's problem. It's also the federal government's problem. Richard M. Daley I always hated my mole growing up. I even thought about having it removed. At the time I didn't do it because I thought it would hurt, and now I'm glad I didn't. Niki Taylor We all like to forgive, and love best not those who offend us least, nor who have done most for us, but those who make it most easy for us to forgive them. Samuel Butler In our modern world of interdependent nations, hardly any state can wage war successfully without raising loans and buying war materials of every kind in the markets of other nations. Arthur Henderson You know you've made it when you've been moulded in miniature plastic. But you know what children do with Barbie dolls - it's a bit scary, actually. Cate Blanchett I am strongly convinced that the people or society is the best and

Like, how small is that? I spend a lot of time there - I write up there. So I kind of have the best of both worlds and I love going up there. Candace Bushnell If any of you should ask me for an epitome of the Christian religion, I should say that it is in one word - prayer. Live and die without prayer, and you will pray long enough when you get to hell. Charles Spurgeon You have reckoned that history ought to judge the past and to instruct the contemporary world as to the future. The present attempt does not yield to that high office. It will merely tell how it really was. Leopold Von Ranke If we are always arriving and departing, it is also true that we are eternally anchored. One's destination is never a place but rather a new way of looking at things. Henry Miller Wealth is not without its advantages and the case to the contrary, although it has often been made, has never proved widely persuasive. John Kenneth Galbraith So many differing opinions and philosophies.

I cannot tell what it is. Seriously, as you all know, they make no difference at all. They just make the flute look a little more special. James Galway A loving family provides the foundation children need to succeed, and strong families with a man and a woman - bonded together for life - always have been, and always will be, the key to such families. Jim Bunning What then is tragedy? In the Elizabethan period it was assumed that a play ending in death was a tragedy, but in recent years we have come to understand that to live on is sometimes far more tragic than death. George Pierce Baker So the guy that we're really targeting our system at this year is one of the guys who brought a 16bit system three or four years ago and has pretty much had it with that, and he's ready to buy something new. Trip Hawkins After all, I don't see why I am always asking for private, individual, selfish miracles when every year there are miracles like white dogwood. Anne Morrow Lin

high from a movie, I'd be somebody else because I didn't particularly like me, so long as I had a script in my hand, I was okay. As soon as the movie was over, I didn't know what to do. Brion James I just refer to myself as being Spirit, Mind and Body like everybody else and working toward the mastery of my natural divinity and the healing of my emotional mind. Leonard Orr Realistically, we could aim for the top three in the constructors championship. Realistically, we could look at winning more races. Three race wins would be very satisfying. Damon Hill The thing that teases the mind over and over for years, and at last gets itself put down rightly on paper - whether little or great, it belongs to Literature. Sarah Orne Jewett It seems to me if you want something badly enough, whether you're a man or a woman, you'll do whatever you have to do to get it. Aaron Eckhart I believe that, as long as there is plenty, poverty is evil. Robert Kennedy A con

no current fictional characters whose impact and influence will last with such abiding affection into their 'sore and yellow' as this splendid man's creations have in mine! Peter Cushing War has always been the grand sagacity of every spirit which has grown too inward and too profound; its curative power lies even in the wounds one receives. Friedrich Nietzsche It is not Kafka's fault that his wonderful writings have lately turned into a fad, and are read by people who have neither the ability nor the desire to absorb literature. Herman Hesse Until the great mass of the people shall be filled with the sense of responsibility for each other's welfare, social justice can never be attained. Helen Keller People deal too much with the negative, with what is wrong. Why not try and see positive things, to just touch those things and make them bloom? Nhat Hanh It's a character I've created. Actually, that's pretty much the opposite of me, off a fa

them, you've got to set an example, when you're not sure what your example is, and anyway the world is changing so fast you don't know what is appropriate anymore. Annie Lennox The Cox Report documents a systematic, well-planned effort by the Chinese military at the highest levels to target and acquire technology for military modernization. Charles Bass I tell beginning readers to read a lot and write a lot. If you want to write a book, find a subject that's really worth the time and effort you'll put in. Tracy Kidder I always felt if we were going in to do an album, there should already be a lot of structure already made up so we could get on with that and see what else happened. Jimmy Page Everything that's realistic has some sort of ugliness in it. Even a flower is ugly when it wilts, a bird when it seeks its prey, the ocean when it becomes violent. Sharon Tate Certainly another Brad Sherman might be annoying, but it isn't something society

you are talking about how to prevent disease, or about who does the best job of treating disease, it is useful to provide as much information to the public as possible. Dave Obey I don't know whether it's age or maturity, but I certainly find myself committed more and more to the looser forms of Western democracy at any price. John le Carre It's better for me to go up against someone's passion with my passion and then clarifying something that he wrote. Then I know how to work around certain things. Penny Marshall I try to deal with the complexities of power and social life, but as far as the visual presentation goes I purposely avoid a high degree of difficulty. Barbara Kruger There can be no great courage where there is no confidence or assurance, and half the battle is in the conviction that we can do what we undertake. Orison Swett Marden My belief in God is responsible for what I am... How can I refuse to talk about something which is so much a prt o

children the impression that human beings cannot control their passions, we are telling them, in effect, that human beings cannot be trusted with freedom. Alan Keyes We stand in the shadow of Jefferson who believed that a society founded upon the rule of law and liberty was dependent upon public education and the diffusion of knowledge. Matt Blunt A lot of people are afraid to tell the truth, to say no. That's where toughness comes into play. Toughness is not being a bully. It's having backbone. Robert Kiyosaki I have moved on from being a British parliamentarian, I have moved on from being a New Labour politician, I have moved on from being the supporter in the active day-to-day sense of Tony Blair. Peter Mandelson There's always that argument to make - that you're in better company historically if people don't understand what you're doing. Elliott Smith There's not a moment on it that will sound too familiar, as soon as it sounds comfortably

saving, solvency, or bankruptcy of the program, but in guaranteeing, the words I used a few minutes ago, a safe and secure retirement for our seniors. Bill Frist The Creator has not thought proper to mark those in the forehead who are of stuff to make good generals. We are first, therefore, to seek them blindfold, and then let them learn the trade at the expense of great losses. Thomas Jefferson My mom has a good way of engaging me in a conversation about the choices I make, listening, being objective and open-minded, and respecting those choices so long as they don't put me in danger. Casey Affleck I know a girl who cries when she practices violin because each note sounds so pure it just cuts into her, and then the melody comes pouring out her eyes. Now, to me, everything else just sounds like a lie. Conor Oberst I'm a Republican and I'm gonna stay a Republican because they need somebody like me to stay in the Party and keep hammering away. Charles Evers It

than it had been before, and it was very upsetting; but I still couldn't bring myself to understand that the policy itself was wrong. Neil Sheehan I try hard to convince them it's important - but there's a history of discomfort with minorities voting in some parts of this country, so most especially the older people have to get accustomed to it. Eddie Bernice Johnson In the decade before the Civil War various north and south lines of railway were projected and some of these were assisted by grants of land from the Federal Government. John Moody When someone has the desire to go to school and has the ability but can't get into our schools, that's wrong. Education drives the economy and the quality of life. Jack Miller In an age of specialization people are proud to be able to do one thing well, but if that is all they know about, they are missing out on much else life has to offer. Dennis Flanagan Don't have a favorite subject, I think I want to ca

enough. Good enough. Successful enough. Thin enough. Rich enough. Socially responsible enough. When you have self-respect, you have enough. Gail Sheehy So I went to George and told him I had the opportunity to become the figurehead of a government safety campaign, and he agreed to give me the week off and reschedule shooting! David Prowse If you don't know how to hold a board, you're going to look phony. That's was the biggest pressure for me was to have that respect and to look up to that. John Robinson One thing that makes art different from life is that in art things have a shape... it allows us to fix our emotions on events at the moment they occur, it permits a union of heart and mind and tongue and tear. Marilyn French The safest course is to do nothing against one's conscience. With this secret, we can enjoy life and have no fear from death. Voltaire The price that one pays for refusing to act on the truth as one sees it, is to be led to believe un

process. Everything in the laboratory is a product of a stream of conscious or unconscious thought. Peter Fraser Mistresses are like books; if you pore upon them too much, they doze you and make you unfit for company; but if used discreetly, you are the fitter for conversation by em. William Wycherley I would say that without any doubt he's the killer - the law says beyond a reasonable doubt and to a moral certainty which I - there's no question that he was the killer of President Kennedy. Henry Wade There is no room for second place. There is only one place in my game and that is first place. I have finished second twice in my time at Green Bay and I never want to finish second again. Vince Lombardi All the choir of heaven and furniture of earth - in a word, all those bodies which compose the frame of the world - have not any subsistence without a mind. George Berkeley I am told that I had a bad temper, and remember being banished to the back hall until civility

of trumpets to announce the beginning of a new month or year. Even when a new century begins it is only we mortals who ring bells and fire off pistols. Thomas Mann The catalogue of forms is endless: until every shape has found its city, new cities will continue to be born. When the forms exhaust their variety and come apart, the end of cities begins. Italo Calvino If we knew exactly what animal life was like before the fall into sin and knew what nature was like before the law of entropy invaded it, we would already be living in heaven. Walter Lang I just love the feeling from the fans and when I'm walking on deck I can hear people screaming and wishing you the best. That puts you into the game more than anything. David Ortiz All ideas come about through some sort of observation. It sparks an attitude; some object or emotion causes a reaction in the other person. Graham Chapman Why should American atrocities be merely unsettling, but a trip to Hanoi unconscionable?

markedly on the side of authority. The truth is I would rather err on the side of too much authority than too little. James Ellroy The thing with me. I can't stick musicians. I've thought about this. I can't stand them, and being stuck in a studio with them I think that's my strength I can hear what they can't. Mark E. Smith The camera relieves us of the burden of memory. It surveys us like God, and it surveys for us. Yet no other god has been so cynical, for the camera records in order to forget. John Berger I have been involved in Internet-related policy for approximately one decade, and I have been using the Internet myself for almost that period of time. Rick Boucher God made man to go by motives, and he will not go without them, any more than a boat without steam or a balloon without gas. Henry Ward Beecher You know it's easy here to buy journalists. Emile Lahoud Very few fighters get the consideration of racehorses, which are put out to p

it is less a distinct principle than a natural consequence of the general principle of democracy, applied to the most pressing wants of the country. Maximilien Robespierre A bell's not a bell 'til you ring it, A song's not a song 'til you sing it, Love in your heart wasn't put there to stay, Love isn't love 'til you give it away! Oscar Hammerstein II At first, I spend about four hours a day writing. Toward the end of a book, I spend up to 16 hours a day on it, because all I want to do is make it good and get it done. Tracy Kidder When you're modeling you're actually acting for the camera and the photographer. It's more fun, too because there are no lines to memorize. Cindy Margolis You cannot be against embryonic stem cell research and be intellectually and therefore morally consistent, if you're not also against in vitro fertilization. Ron Reagan When you grow up on film, people sometimes have difficulties accepting the fact t

country, you've got a lot of taxes, rents are high and its quite difficult to survive as an artist especially when you are just coming up. Andrew Jack Mathematicians aren't satisfied because they know there are no solutions up to four million or four billion, they really want to know that there are no solutions up to infinity. Andrew Wiles Every scientific truth goes through three states: first, people say it conflicts with the Bible; next, they say it has been discovered before; lastly, they say they always believed it. Louis Agassiz The only thing I believe is this: A player does not have to like a manager and he does not have to respect a manager. All he has to do is obey the rules. Sparky Anderson We need international support so that our people live a life of normality, of dignity, of liberty and freedom. I hope that our cry for freedom may be heard. Mahmoud Abbas My fake Japanese was smooth enough to earn me the title of 'The Emperor of Pleasing Graciou

you die at a very young age, or you live long enough to watch your friends die. It's a mean thing, life. George Clooney What an immense power over the life is the power of possessing distinct aims. The voice, the dress, the look, the very motion of a person, define and alter when he or she begins to live for a reason. Elizabeth Stuart Phelps And the big question for the West, of course, and to the Europeans is, what other countries, which were formerly part of the Soviet bloc, should be incorporated into western institutions? Samuel P. Huntington I don't see myself ever retiring, unless it's for something that I like better, and so far I like directing a lot but I don't see the necessity to retire from anything unless there's a really great alternative. Anjelica Huston I think that there were only two people in my high school that were comfortable there, and I think they are both pumping gas now. Grant Show Alas few socialists are either benevolent en

consequences of any medium - that is, of any extension of ourselves - result from the new scale that is introduced into our affairs by each extension of ourselves, or by any new technology. Marshall McLuhan Unfortunately the Republican tax cut will deny important revenues to many states facing their own deficits. This will create greater pressure for higher state and local taxes. Dick Durbin The effect of liberty to individuals is that they may do what they please: we ought to see what it will please them to do, before we risk congratulations. Edmund Burke You have teenagers thinking they're going to make millions as NBA stars when that's not realistic for even 1 percent of them. Becoming a scientist or engineer is. Dean Kamen A man either lives life as it happens to him, meets it head-on and licks it, or he turns his back on it and starts to wither away. Gene Roddenberry Being right half the time beats being half-right all the time. Malcolm Forbes The functio

and musical poetry is perhaps the most effective mirror available. Every newspaper headline is a potential song. Phil Ochs Surround yourself with the best people you can find, delegate authority, and don't interfere as long as the policy you've decided upon is being carried out. Ronald Reagan We do not kill the drama, we do not really limit its appeal by failing to encourage the best in it; but we do thereby foster the weakest and poorest elements. George Pierce Baker It is one thing for the human mind to extract from the phenomena of nature the laws which it has itself put into them; it may be a far harder thing to extract laws over which it has no control. Arthur Eddington Today, many companies are reporting that their number one constraint on growth is the inability to hire workers with the necessary skills. William J. Clinton Performance art is the ultimate in creativity. Since it has so many possibilities at creativity, it's essence tends to become creat

famous - and were men. But now the poet as the tragic child of grandeur and destiny had changed. The child of genius was a woman, now, and the man was gone. Tom Wolfe Besides alligators, the only animals to be feared are the poisonous serpents. These are certainly common enough in the forest, but no fatal accident happened during the whole time of my residence. Henry Walter Bates Above all else, we need a reaffirmation of political commitment at the highest levels to reducing the dangers that arise both from existing nuclear weapons and from further proliferation. Kofi Annan A lot of people out there pay good lip service to the idea of personal freedom... right up to the point that someone tries to do something that they don't personally approve of. Neal Boortz I love good and pleasure, I hate evil and pain, I want to be happy and I am not mistaken in believing, that people, angels and even demons have those same inclinations. Nicolas Malebranche Sympathetic cracks.

something special, and therefore you start to behave special. Then if the floor drops out, and you become down and out, you have a really new perspective. Danny Bonaduce To answer that I have to describe what I think is my responsibility as a thriller writer: To give my readers the most exciting roller coaster ride of a suspense story I can possibly think of. Jeffery Deaver July 13, 1954 was the most tragic day of my life. I had lost my beloved Frida forever. To late now I realized that the most wonderful part of my life had been my love for Frida. Diego Rivera At the bottom of not a little of the bravery that appears in the world, there lurks a miserable cowardice. Men will face powder and steel because they have not the courage to face public opinion. Edwin Hubbel Chapin A show is like having a climax. It's like having an incredible, natural climax. And then suddenly it's all finished, and you don't know what to do next. Rod Stewart We never fully grasp the

all time; forgotten the millions of men who gave their lives, who made the supreme sacrifice and who today, beneath the soil of France and Belgium, sleep the eternal sleep? Frank B. Kellogg A foreign ideology cannot be introduced into Chechnya - were it through an Arab or al-Qaeda. Our experience is rich and long enough for us to be Muslims and know what jihad is. Aslan Maskhadov Always keep your mind as bright and clear as the vast sky, the great ocean, and the highest peak, empty of all thoughts. Always keep your body filled with light and heat. Fill yourself with the power of wisdom and enlightenment. Morihei Ueshiba Your living is determined not so much by what life brings to you as by the attitude you bring to life; not so much by what happens to you as by the way your mind looks at what happens. Khalil Gibran The process of creating is related to the process of dreaming although when you are writing you're doing it and when you're dreaming, it's doing you.

and I was successful.' I don't want to look back and say I should have done this or that. I'd like to change things for the younger generation of swimmers coming along. Michael Phelps Everywhere the human soul stands between a hemisphere of light and another of darkness; on the confines of the two everlasting empires, necessity and free will. Thomas Carlyle I have also noticed that when a rider who had confidence in his ability was defeated, after doing his level best to win, always received an ovation from the gathering. Major Taylor Love is something far more than desire for sexual intercourse; it is the principal means of escape from the loneliness which afflicts most men and women throughout the greater part of their lives. Bertrand Russell I don't want to sound pompous, but I really think your gender doesn't necessarily dominate your sexual activity. John Lone When sparrows build and the leaves break forth, My old sorrow wakes and cries. Jean In

and you see just this black void out in front of you. And yet you know there is life out there, and you have to get your message across. Suzanne Farrell I think another thing is that we don't really want exclusivity. We accept that it is in the artist's interest to be on sale in every place where they sell music. Peter Gabriel The one thing that kept our family together was the music. The only thing that our family would share emotionally was to have our dad cry over something the kids did with music. Dennis Wilson God made a very obvious choice when he made me voluptuous; why would I go against what he decided for me? My limbs work, so I'm not going to complain about the way my body is shaped. Drew Barrymore America has the longest prison sentences in the West, yet the only condition long sentences demonstrably cure is heterosexuality. Bruce Jackson For Stevie, the words are of prime importance; the song moves around the words, rather than the words moving a

the line in support of an idea or enterprise. They willingly assume responsibility for the success or failure of a venture and are answerable for all its facets. Victor Kiam Medical research in the twentieth century mostly takes place in the lab; in the Renaissance, though, researchers went first and foremost to the library to see what the ancients had said. Peter Lewis Allen A woman tells her doctor, 'I've got a bad back.' The doctor says, 'It's old age.' The woman says, 'I want a second opinion.' The doctor says: 'Okay - you're ugly as well.' Tommy Cooper All of our affairs, since the union of crowns, have been managed by the advice of English ministers, and the principal offices of the kingdom filled with such men, as the court of England knew would be subservient to their designs. Andrew Fletcher We show deference to the civil authorities when they respect the divine origin of their power and when they serve the people with ob

be fair and generous. In governing, don't try to control. In work, do what you enjoy. In family life, be completely present. Lao Tzu What is he? He's a puppeteer and he's got a lot of inspiration all around him, and the fact that they can manipulate the expressions now with ease compared to what it used to be. Joe Grant There are simply more young people than there ever were. You get this feeling of strength. Also, large numbers can be a drawback, making it difficult to lose one's anonymity. John Knowles It may, however, be said that the level of experience to which concepts are inapplicable cannot yield any knowledge of a universal character, for concepts alone are capable of being socialized. Muhammad Iqbal As you say, the way string theory requires all these extra dimensions and this comes from certain consistency requirements about how string should behave and so on. Roger Penrose I think the disarmament of Iraq is inevitable. Douglas Feith The dan

that we were required to translate in Latin, and all these interesting people who were never quite what they thought they would be or seemed to be. Suzanne Farrell In the 66 years that I have been alive, there has not been one hour, of one day, of one month, of one year, when there has not been a threat aimed at us. Frederick Forsyth Old age, believe me, is a good and pleasant thing. It is true you are gently shouldered off the stage, but then you are given such a comfortable front stall as spectator. Confucius I remember saying to the chairman after serving the first year, 'Why are we doing this? Why don't the Hawaiians have control?' 'Well, we have no mechanism to do it,' I was told. Neil Abercrombie This crusade is much more important than the anti- lynching movement, because there would be no lynching if it did not start in the schoolroom. Carter G. Woodson I have not told half of what I saw. Marco Polo I feel sorry for the person who can't

been writing more short stories despite the fact that there's no real paying market for short horror other than Cemetery Dance. George Stephen Most of the media... is positioning the merger with Compaq and the recent actions by Walter Hewlett and David Packard as a fight between the past and the future. Carly Fiorina Earth and sky, woods and fields, lakes and rivers, the mountain and the sea, are excellent schoolmasters, and teach some of us more than we can ever learn from books. John Lubbock It is only by the rational use of technology; to control and guide what technology is doing; that we can keep any hopes of a social life more desirable than our own: or in fact of a social life which is not appalling to imagine. Carrie Snow Many women have told me they remember where they were when they read the book, and how they felt suddenly that what they really thought or felt about things made sense. Carol Gilligan What time he can spare from the adornment of his person h

some vision of what things could be, and they're constantly disappointed by that. I think that would be the camp that I would fall into - constantly horrified by the things people do. Daniel Clowes The ambivalence of writing is such that it can be considered both an act and an interpretive process that follows after an act with which it cannot coincide. As such, it both affirms and denies its own nature. Paul de Man Many have puzzled themselves about the origin of evil. I am content to observe that there is evil, and that there is a way to escape from it, and with this I begin and end. John Newton Your first obligation, I suppose, is to your God. Your second is to your family. And your third is to your community. And you ought to try to fulfill all of those in your life. Dick Murphy My greatest strength is common sense. I'm really a standard brand - like Campbell's tomato soup or Baker's chocolate. Katharine Hepburn Again and again, the impossible problem

of it. If you keep smelling it, it can drive you crazy. In this business a lot of people go nuts, go eccentric, even end up dead from it. Not my plan. Uma Thurman Radical changes in world politics leave America with a heightened responsibility to be, for the world, an example of a genuinely free, democratic, just and humane society. Pope John Paul II Feelings of worth can flourish only in an atmosphere where individual differences are appreciated, mistakes are tolerated, communication is open, and rules are flexible - the kind of atmosphere that is found in a nurturing family. Virginia Satir Priest organizations around the country, both local and national, should realize that their membership has a serious image problem and undertake programs to improve it. Andrew Greeley Follow the wisdom of the great actor, James Cagney, you hit your mark, you look the other guy in the eye, and you tell the truth. Larry Merchant Secretary of War Stanton used to get out of patience with

I get to a hundred and something. You know, I ain't got far to go. But I'm still going to be playing, as long as I have good ideas, and can play as I do. Claude Williams I was a new devotee of Eastern mysticism and even though I did not join that particular group, I could well have done. They seemed a bit extreme but I regarded myself as not quite ready. Mary Garden I was single for six years and during those six years I went back to college and got my degree in Social Work and then... while I was single... Barney came here to Portsmouth on vacation. Betty Hill Wisdom does not show itself so much in precept as in life - in firmness of mind and a mastery of appetite. It teaches us to do as well as to talk; and to make our words and actions all of a color. Lucius Annaeus Seneca Hungry Joe collected lists of fatal diseases and arranged them in alphabetical order so that he could put his finger without delay on any one he wanted to worry about. Joseph Heller The dist

a service that the customer does not and cannot have, and does not need if he can trust the brand. This explains the profitability of brands. Peter Drucker The pretended physical philosophy of modern days strips Man of all his moral attributes, or holds them of no account in the estimate of his origin and place in the created world. Adam Sedgwick When you do have songs where you're going to say something, some kind of statement about cultural or social stuff, that in general people love it. People love to be challenged in that way. Catie Curtis The only justification for repressive institutions is material and cultural deficit. But such institutions, at certain stages of history, perpetuate and produce such a deficit, and even threaten human survival. Noam Chomsky Love is the terrible secret people are suspected of unless they're married, then one always suspects they don't. Jane Rule I've a grand memory for forgetting. Robert Louis Stevenson No one ev

and opening up, we have moved steadfastly to promote political restructuring and vigorously build democratic politics under socialism. Jinato Hu I'll give you my opinion of the human race in a nutshell... their heart's in the right place, but their head is a thoroughly inefficient organ. W. Somerset Maugham Before I joined The Beach Boys, I was working at Columbia Records as a producer, and saw The Byrds come in and do their first overdub before Terry even met them. Bruce Johnston Suddenly a single shot on the extreme left rang out on the clear morning air, followed quickly by several others, and the whole line pushed rapidly forward through the brush. John Gibbon I hate it, it is tedious... when I write for my act, it is very improvisational, I write bullet points, I cannot sit in front of a computer; that is not my style. Kathy Griffin Fans made me. The fans gave me a chance, and they made me. Beyond that, my career has been trials and tribulations and ups and

this action, as it now goes on, an ideal degree of efficiency. What I do claim is that this type of competition already reveals its nature and its ultimate power to hold seeming monopolies in check. John Bates Clark The history of modern art is also the history of the progressive loss of art's audience. Art has increasingly become the concern of the artist and the bafflement of the public. Paul Gauguin I did seven indies because the independent market used to be a lot better before all the stars were doing independents. As a beginning actor, that's where you started. Josh Holloway The intellectual takes as a starting point his self and relates the world to his own sensibilities; the scientist accepts an existing field of knowledge and seeks to map out the unexplored terrain. Daniel Bell Committing genocide on behalf of an institution generates greater loyalty to it than merely getting people fired from their jobs on its behalf. John McCarthy If you have some resp

have to, we might as well get the upside for it and dedicate that upside to improving the environment in so many different ways. Ed Rendell There are a lot of stuff on the record that I am thinking is generic but actually it is just as good as everybody else who is putting stuff out at the time. Bruce Dickinson It's another myth that dancing distorts or destroys your feet. If you have the right shaped foot to start and a good, strong technique, your feet should be fine. Deborah Bull Nothing is given to man on earth - struggle is built into the nature of life, and conflict is possible - the hero is the man who lets no obstacle prevent him from pursuing the values he has chosen. Andrew Bernstein In struggling against anguish one never produces serenity; the struggle against anguish only produces new forms of anguish. Simone Weil This was a really big opportunity. This script was even mediocre. The idea was great, but Jay came on with his guys made it great and very spe

punishments, treats each and every attempt at criticism, however morally justified, and every suggestion for improvement as plotting to high treason, is a state that breaks an unwritten law. Kurt Huber I think its really matured a lot. I like the fact that there is now more to do there than gamble, since I don't do a lot of that. The people are great. I seldom have time for vacations and when I do I prefer the beach instead of the desert. Doug Davidson Bobby and I have been to various reunions of Our Gang. We've been to like three or four reunions over the past 15 years or so. We were at one in Palm Springs, California. Tommy Bond When I was eight years old I went to visit my brother who was working on a movie of the week with my mother and I saw how much fun he was having and I decided I wanted to try it too. Mackenzie Astin People still think of me as a cartoonist, but the only thing I lift a pen or pencil for these days is to sign a contract, a check, or an autog

philosophies, and competitive values. For a nation that is afraid to let its people judge the truth and falsehood in an open market is a nation that is afraid of its people. John F. Kennedy Americans have an abiding belief in their ability to control reality by purely material means... airline insurance replaces the fear of death with the comforting prospect of cash. Cecil Beaton I didn't say I wasn't gonna do rockabilly. I just said I ain't gonna sing no song that ain't a country song. I won't be known as anything but a country singer. Buck Owens To make the child in your own image is a capital crime, for your image is not worth repeating. The child knows this and you know it. Consequently you hate each other. Karl Shapiro My definition of an educated man is the fellow who knows the right thing to do at the time it has to be done. You can be sincere and still be stupid. Charles Kettering I believe in one God, the first and great cause of goodness. I

not to shrink to a grain of sand. Henceforth will I apply ALL my efforts to become the highest mountain of all and I will strain my potential until it cries for mercy. Og Mandino My door was open part of the time, and part of the time I tried to get a nap and their voices annoyed me, and I closed it. I kept it open in summer more or less, and closed in winter. Lizzie Andrew Borden Those involved in the program are interested in how to use photography, videos, the Internet, film, and anything related to communications and transmission of information in the most up-to-date modern ways. Major Owens I believe you have a responsibility to comport yourself in a manner that gives an example to others. As a young man, I prayed for success. Now I pray just to be worthy of it. Brendan Fraser Much of what we now consider to be problems concerning immigration and assimilation really concern Mexican immigration and assimilation. Samuel P. Huntington I've got a Grammy and Emmy, I&

in the construction of the state, will be of no service. They will become flatterers instead of legislators; the instruments, not the guides, of the people. Edmund Burke The Archivist of the United States essentially works for the American people across partisan lines and not, regardless of which Administration nominates the person, for a particular President or political party. Allen Weinstein A man without ambition is dead. A man with ambition but no love is dead. A man with ambition and love for his blessings here on earth is ever so alive. Pearl Bailey Who are we? We find that we live on an insignificant planet of a humdrum star lost in a galaxy tucked away in some forgotten corner of a universe in which there are far more galaxies than people. Carl Sagan Sometimes I'll get to the end of a song, open my eyes and there's all these faces peering at me. It's quite horrifying. Robert Smith What do I think of Western civilization? I think it would be a very go

way, I also feel that I lost the person closest to me. And I got a second chance to live. So in a way I feel that I live for both of us... and I will do my best. Petra Nemcova Even though I'm not running anymore, we still have to try to find a cure for cancer. Other people should go ahead and try to do their own thing now. Terry Fox When I am able to resist the temptation to judge others, I can see them as teachers of forgiveness in my life, reminding me that I can only have peace of mind when I forgive rather than judge. Gerald Jampolsky Winning the Pulitzer is not that big a deal. I have seen hundreds of plays that have won the prize and you couldn't sit half way through it. The Pulitzer is a common prize that means very little. Richard Harris Death is no more than passing from one room into another. But there's a difference for me, you know. Because in that other room I shall be able to see. Helen Keller I've run into more discrimination as a woman tha

required to participate in the program, contributing a percentage of their income for their entire adult working life. Wayne Allard But I'm very happy to work within tight parameters, and when you know you have an actor for two days, and you have to get that work done in two days, that focuses the mind wonderfully. John Crowley I love my man as my fellow; but his scepter, real, or usurped, extends not to me, unless the reason of an individual demands my homage; and even then the submission is to reason, and not to man. Mary Wollstonecraft The plan was criticized by some retired military officers embedded in TV studios. But with every advance by our coalition forces, the wisdom of that plan becomes more apparent. Dick Cheney Every time we've moved ahead in IBM, it was because someone was willing to take a chance, put his head on the block, and try something new. Thomas J. Watson Speed is scarcely the noblest virtue of graphic composition, but it has its curious re

a complex. I would know if I just stopped eating and showed a little discipline I would be thin. But there's not a hell of a lot I can do about being short. You just gotta run with it. Michael J. Fox You know, comedy's hard. With drama, you have a responsibility to the emotional truth, but with comedy, you have emotional truth and you have technique on top of it. Julianne Moore When you've played this game for ten years and gone to bat seven-thousand times and gotten two-thousand hits do you know what that really means? It means you've gone zero for five-thousand. Reggie Jackson Impart as much as you can of your spiritual being to those who are on the road with you, and accept as something precious what comes back to you from them. Albert Schweitzer Film as dream, film as music. No art passes our conscience in the way film does, and goes directly to our feelings, deep down into the dark rooms of our souls. Ingmar Bergman Did universal charity prevail, ear

they get out to the floor. And it's hard to lick em at that stage. They're a closed corporation. When they stick together, you can't lick em on the floor. John William McCormack There is a lot of stuff now that is in bad taste, and I don't see the necessity for it all. We didn't have to do it in our time, and they don't have to do it now. Clint Walker Well, one of the things I discovered in the course of looking back and writing about what I saw in my memory is that I was a closely observant person long before I became a reporter. Alma Guillermoprieto Grant that the true organ with which the beautiful is apprehended is the imagination, and it follows that all arts are likely to affect the feelings indirectly. Eduard Hanslick The quality of a person's life is in direct proportion to their commitment to excellence, regardless of their chosen field of endeavor. Vince Lombardi The test and the use of man's education is that he finds pleasure i

for. Never to avoid danger from fear, never to seek out danger for its own sake. Never to conform to fashion from fear of eccentricity, never to be eccentric from fear of conformity. Steven Brust Power and violence are opposites; where the one rules absolutely, the other is absent. Violence appears where power is in jeopardy, but left to its own course it ends in power's disappearance. Hannah Arendt At the moment I'm enjoying a new challenge at the Royal Opera House, but I'm also keen to pursue my interest in television and particularly in science. Deborah Bull And looking at today's music scene, I think it's cool that there are a lot of consumers and fans not limited by what radio and the record companies tell them to buy. Juice Newton It may happen sometimes that a long debate becomes the cause of a longer friendship. Commonly, those who dispute with one another at last agree. Elbert Hubbard I've lived my life in a way that I feel would be an ex

breathe forth their love for each other, to let their souls blend in a soft whisper, so the mystic longs for the moment when in prayer he can, as it were, creep into God. Soren Kierkegaard A stiff apology is a second insult... The injured party does not want to be compensated because he has been wronged; he wants to be healed because he has been hurt. Gilbert K. Chesterton I moved out to LA, got an agent, started auditioning. I didn't know anything about how it worked. And since I was really bad, luckily, I didn't get any of those parts. Casey Affleck The terrorists are fighting freedom with all their cunning and cruelty because freedom is their greatest fear - and they should be afraid, because freedom is on the march. George W. Bush Intelligence is quickness to apprehend as distinct form ability, which is capacity to act wisely on the thing apprehended. Alfred North Whitehead The Path that leadeth on is lighted by one fire - the light of daring burning in the h

all. You've got to do it all yourself, and you've gotta learn quick. And you can't look for sympathy either. John Lydon So I think that we're in a very heightened and somewhat unusual period of politics and polling around the countries that New Zealanders take close interest in. Jim Bolger So I think rather than being attracted so much now to working with my heroes, I'm sort of more attracted to working with completely unlikely strangers because it's more exciting really. Neil Finn I'm in an absolute frenzy towards doing as many things as I can that I want to do today. The rest can wait till tomorrow, next week, if I'm around we'll take a look. Buck Owens The best political weapon is the weapon of terror. Cruelty commands respect. Men may hate us. But, we don't ask for their love; only for their fear. Heinrich Himmler Observe all men, thyself most. Benjamin Franklin Doctors are just the same as lawyers; the only difference is th

eager to learn more about Chinese culture. It has filtered into the mainstream. You see credit-card ads on TV with white couples and Chinese babies. Iris Chang In 1947 I defended my thesis on nuclear physics, and in 1948 I was included in a group of research scientists whose task was to develop nuclear weapons. Andrei Sakharov People notice it and they help you participate and see your work included in this project and when we ship our browser, you and millions of other people get to see the fruits of your efforts. Mitchell Baker One of the sad commentaries on the way women are viewed in our society is that we have to fit one category. I have never felt that I had to be in one category. Faye Wattleton If you meet people who have been successful in Hollywood, or look a their photographs, you see a haunted look in their eyes, you sense a trapped feeling. Meg Tilly We made some mistakes. We had some managers we didn't like and had to get rid of, and that cost some money

man or someone where it will be harder for people on the progressive side to oppose and split some of the traditionally progressive or democratic constituents. Patricia Ireland The advantage of working for a corporation is that it has only one message, because a product or a service doesn't speak; it's just there, and you can advertise it. Frank Luntz People are taken aback by a confident, pretty girl who knows what she wants in life and isn't going to let anyone get in her way. And you know what it's all about? Jealousy. Summer Altice I can't stress the importance of working hard enough, work on all aspects of your game. If you does that and you have the ability, you'll come through. Frank Lampard And my interest in history was, and remains, very strong: what I wanted was to understand certain things better by understanding them psychoanalytically. Peter Gay In the 20s, you were a face. And that was enough. In the 30s, you also had to be a voice.

territory - it'd be suicide. And there are even more people in America than in Europe. I think it's strange, really. I basically see it as loads of different places. Sean Booth I knew nothing about the independent film industry. I didn't know much about the industry itself. All I knew was how to watch movies, how to enjoy them, how to hate them, how not to like them. Michelle Rodriguez After all my years of doing instrumental music I still like just a simple instrumental song with a nice catchy melody and an opportunity to play a solo over a harmonic structure. Stanley Clarke I just want everyone to know that 20,000 gun laws in the United States are unconstitutional. They infringe on your right to protect your life, the lives of your loved ones, and your property. Michael Badnarik One may preach a covenant of grace more clearly than another... But when they preach a covenant of works for salvation, that is not truth. Anne Hutchinson The trouble with talking a

human loneliness is cause enough. But it is a hard quest worth making to find a comrade through whose steady presence one becomes steadily the person one desires to be. Anna Louise Strong I didn't ask to be a hero, but I guess I have become one in the Christian community. So I accept it. But if I'm wrong about this, I guess I'll become a bum. Hal Lindsey Don't talk to me about aesthetics or tradition. Talk to me about what sells and what's good right now. And what the American people like is to think the underdog still has a chance. George Steinbrenner If we allow the consideration of heathen morality and heathen religion to absolve us from the duty of preaching the gospel we are really deposing Christ from His throne in our own souls. Roland Allen National sovereignty is an obligation as well as an entitlement. A government that will not perform the role of a government forfeits the rights of a government. Richard Perle The firm, the enduring, the si

old people who recognize me and they're honest, for-real fans of the show. And it goes down to nine months. I mean, I've heard of nine month to year-old children who are watching the show. Steve Burns Unlike the Reagan and Bush Administrations, with but one exception, the Clinton administration failed to reach out to Republicans in creating a new team, and eventually paid a political price. Richard V. Allen In designing hardware to be used every day, it was important to keep both the human aspects and the machine in mind. What looks good also often feels good. Michael Graves The Berlin Wall wasn't the only barrier to fall after the collapse of the Soviet Union and the end of the Cold War. Traditional barriers to the flow of money, trade, people and ideas also fell. Fareed Zakaria O solitude, where are the charms That sages have seen in thy face? Better dwell in the midst of alarms, Than reign in this horrible place. William Cowper It is not true that sufferin

the best thing for me, in terms of being a storyteller by nature, to have spent years being an editor because I learned so much from it. Terri Windling I did a little theatre work after that and the following year I got another part in a television series. Then it was almost to the end of the year before I got more work. That was coming to terms with the reality of the vocation I had chosen. Karl Urban Taking on challenging projects is the way that one grows and extends one's range as a writer, one's technical command, so I consider the time well-spent. Donna Tartt It's not about the money. This is about Terri. It's not about the Schindlers, it's not about the legislators, it's not about me, it's about what Terri Schiavo wanted. Michael Schiavo I would never offer advice without the person asking for it. I, in general, don't believe in giving advice, actually, as a human being I don't. Joan Chen People ask me what the most important th

concrete assignment that demands fulfillment. Therein he cannot be replaced, nor can his life be repeated, thus, everyone's task is unique as his specific opportunity to implement it. Viktor E. Frankl My greatest challenge has been to change the mindset of people. Mindsets play strange tricks on us. We see things the way our minds have instructed our eyes to see. Muhammad Yunus It seems to me we have been in a rhetorical arms race in this country, with each side unwilling to lay down its weapons for fear - usually justified - the other side would beat them to a pulp. Pat Sajak We need to go to the niceties of approaching the U. N. and let them have a chance to take it over, but we should set some sort of date and begin to move out and leave it to whoever takes over. William Odom My mother wanted us to understand that the tragedies of your life one day have the potential to be comic stories the next. Nora Ephron Most people see through these issues but the corporate m

It is to unsettle their minds, widen their horizons, inflame their intellects, teach them to think straight, if possible. Robert M. Hutchins There is one quality which one must possess to win, and that is definiteness of purpose, the knowledge of what one wants, and a burning desire to possess it. Napoleon Hill I am responsible. Although I may not be able to prevent the worst from happening, I am responsible for my attitude toward the inevitable misfortunes that darken life. Walter Anderson Condoleezza Rice, the national security adviser, is right there... she's in town because her father was at Johnson Smith College... and she was delivering a speech there. Al Michaels Someday I want to be rich. Some people get so rich they lose all respect for humanity. That's how rich I want to be. Rita Rudner The difference of great players is at a certain point in a match they raise their level of play and maintain it. Lesser players play great for a set, but then less. Pet

of the process of the passage of events is directly there in our experience, including some of the past and some of the future. George Herbert Mead For in the first place the American people could not have been swept too fast and too far in this movement without enough alarms being sounded to be heard and heeded. Robert W. Welch, Jr. There is nothing that man fears more than the touch of the unknown. He wants to see what is reaching towards him, and to be able to recognize or at least classify it. Man always tends to avoid physical contact with anything strange. Elias Canetti So I will stand more steadfastly for the things I stand up for, like people who work for a living. I'd like to be able to stand that way when I go to Congress. John Murray Words today are like the shells and rope of seaweed which a child brings home glistening from the beach and which in an hour have lost their luster. Cyril Connolly I knew that I wanted to be a writer even before I knew exactly

the sport that I tried to master, I kind of mastered baseball, so basketball was one of those things where I wanted to master this game, so that's why I probably play it the way I do. Eric Williams In the course of her education she had gone through the history usually put into the hands of young people... now her ripened reason gave to her present study at least the advantage of novelty. Charlotte Smith The liberally educated person is one who is able to resist the easy and preferred answers, not because he is obstinate but because he knows others worthy of consideration. Allan Bloom One of your tasks is to separate the 'personal' from the 'substantive.' The two can become confused, especially if someone rubs the President wrong. Donald Rumsfeld Since new developments are the products of a creative mind, we must therefore stimulate and encourage that type of mind in every way possible. George Washington Carver Central banks don't have divine wisd

Let's not over-rate my industry. But if you have time, you can be in good mutual funds that have good records. Jim Cramer Bob Dylan is quite a songwriter, and a great singer and musician. I won't bother with comparing myself to him, but I will say that I heard his records at a very young age and I still listen to all his records. Frank Black If man limits himself to a satisfied animal existence, and asks from life only what such an existence can give, the higher values of life at once disappear. Christopher Dawson Like everybody who is not in love, he thought one chose the person to be loved after endless deliberations and on the basis of particular qualities or advantages. Marcel Proust People sometimes ask me if it is a sin in the Church of Emacs to use vi. Using a free version of vi is not a sin; it is a penance. So happy hacking. Richard Stallman The trouble with the future is that it usually arrives before we're ready for it. Arnold H. Glasow I don

and Annapolis. Everywhere you go there's the same artists and same songs by them, over and over again. At some stations they play the same songs 50 to 60 times a week. John Hall A pregnant woman facing the most dire circumstances must be able to count on her doctor to do what is medically necessary to protect her from serious physical harm. Barbara Mikulski Baseball is a red-blooded sport for red-blooded men. It's no pink tea, and mollycoddles had better stay out. It's a struggle for supremacy, a survival of the fittest. Ty Cobb The main purpose of Social Security is to redistribute wealth, to make an increasingly large number of Americans dependent on government for their basic needs in their retirement years. Neal Boortz Our life is composed greatly from dreams, from the unconscious, and they must be brought into connection with action. They must be woven together. Anais Nin To us, family means putting your arms around each other and being there. Barbara B

new. There is no yesterday nor any tomorrow, but only Now, as it was a thousand years ago and as it will be a thousand years hence. Meister Eckhart Illegal immigration is a genuinely national issue, and resolving it requires a national commitment not just on health care but also border control, law enforcement and other resources. Jon Kyl This is the secret of propaganda: To totally saturate the person, whom the propaganda wants to lay hold of, with the ideas of the propaganda, without him even noticing that he is being saturated. Paul Watzlawick I've come up with another formulation about style: that it's essentially a manifestation of a certain habitual set of limitations. It's what a composer does NOT do that defines a style. James Tenney I have been given the authority over you, and I am not the best of you. If I do well, help me; and if I do wrong, set me right. Sincere regard for truth. Abu Bakr I like being scared every now and then, I like the suspens

over the next 25 years. We want to reduce the number of people depending on government so there is more autonomy and more free citizens. Grover Norquist We were all on this ship in the sixties, our generation, a ship going to discover the New World. And the Beatles were in the crow's nest of that ship. John Lennon Every time someone ends a prayer in the Western world they say Amen - that is the name of an Egyptian god associated with completion. So we're still praying to their gods. Whitley Strieber If Unix could present the same face, the same capabilities, on machines of many different types, it could serve as a common software environment for all of them. Eric S. Raymond King Louis Philippe once said to me that he attributed the great success of the British nation in political life to their talking politics after dinner. Benjamin Disraeli Until four years ago, in fact, I was absolutely in love with the atom. David R. Brower Acting is nothing more or less th

with an additional $500, and for every contribution made to a child's account below the national median income, we match it dollar for dollar - the federal government will. Harold Ford, Jr. That is why, with optimism instead of fear, all those who want to see Puerto Rico's status resolved should seek the truth about each option, including the upside and the downside of each. Dick Thornburgh When one cannot appraise out of one's own experience, the temptation to blunder is minimized, but even when one can, appraisal seems chiefly useful as appraisal of the appraiser. Marianne Moore I set myself 600 words a day as a minimum output, regardless of the weather, my state of mind or if I'm sick or well. There must be 600 finished words-not almost right words. Arthur Hailey You always feel when you look it straight in the eye that you could have put more into it, could have let yourself go and dug harder. Emily Carr Retirement may be looked upon either as a prolo

that, yeah, we do touch upon things that most men would rather not admit: That we feel pain, we cry, get sad and sometimes don't deal well with disappointment. Peter Steele There was a gap of seven years between the first and second Dracula movies. In the second one as everybody knows, I didn't speak, because I said I couldn't say the lines. Christopher Lee If human beings are to survive in a nuclear age, committing acts of violence may eventually have to become as embarrassing as urinating or defecating in public are today. Myriam Miedzian I am very sure that any man of common understanding may, by culture, care, attention, and labor, make himself what- ever he pleases, except a great poet. Philip Stanhope, 4th Earl of Chesterfield I was little impressed with this rough and ready way of persuading people to renew their contracts and decided that I was now quite free of any obligations. Pietro Mascagni No doubt, man will continue to weigh and to measure, watc

and abiding commitment to Martin Luther King and the plight of African-Americans. Ray Charles may not have been on the front lines, but he put his money where his mouth was. Diane Watson We made them drink poison last night and Saddam Hussein's soldiers and his great forces gave the Americans a lesson which will not be forgotten by history. Truly. Mohammed Saeed al-Sahaf I loved the house the way you would any new house, because it is populated by your future, the family of children who will fill it with noise or chaos and satisfying busy pleasures. Jane Smiley It might be argued that genuine spontaneity is not really possible or desirable so long as printed scores of great works exist. All modern musicians are, for better or worse, prisoners of Gutenberg. Donal Henahan I'm not a party person or someone who likes to sit and drink in clubs all night, and never really have been. I have a good time through work. Robin Gibb I'm interested in anything about revolt

of the Oil-for-Food program, and until the United Nations decides to cooperate in the investigation, no American taxpayer dollars should go to the United Nations. John Ensign The papers reveal that in several key abortion cases, justices were keenly interested in the perceived public reaction to their rulings - indicating that courts can be influenced by public sentiment. Lee Greenwood We're all the same. We all want the same thing in life. Everybody going around like ants and we all want the same thing. And it's not one queen. It's not one queen with the wings. Andrea Corr But it's fun to be something, have that, and you don't have to be real. It's like, comedians. They go on and they're doing all these jokes. I would be like that if I were more awake. Parker Posey Just recently I worked with Van Morrison and I came to realize that money can't make a decent human being out of you. Jim Sullivan The entrance into Jerusalem has all the eleme
