If, however, the success of a politician is to be measured by the degree in

which he is able personally to influence the course of politics, and attach to himself a school of political thought, then Mr. Mill, in the best meaning of the words, has succeeded.
Millicent Fawcett

In the Church of Jesus Christ there can and should be no non-theologians.
Karl Barth

I guess I usually write when I'm in a really intense headspace, because it's my form of self-therapy.
Sharon Van Etten

He that is good for making excuses is seldom good for anything else.
Benjamin Franklin

People are always ready to admit a man's ability after he gets there.

My assignment was in the communications office, where I typed out dispatches.

Often they benefit who suffer wrong.
Ovid

As I have discovered by examining my past, I started out as a child.

Coincidentally, so did my brother. My mother did not put all her eggs in one basket, so to speak: she gave me a younger brother named Russell, who taught me what was meant by 'survival of the fittest.' Bill Cosby There was a war crimes trial because an American prisoner had been shot trying to escape. He had obviously been recaptured and shot, and that violated the Geneva Convention. Charles Guggenheim He who reigns within himself and rules passions, desires, and fears is more than a king. John Milton Everyone confesses that exertion which brings out all the powers of body and mind is the best thing for us; but most people do all they can to get rid of it, and as a general rule nobody does much more than circumstances drive them to do. Harriet Beecher Stowe If that's the way the game is played, I don't want to play anymore. Joyce DeWitt

I was very lucky. Things happened, both bad and good, but I never got into

real, deep trouble. But it wore me down. By the time I was 18, I was done. I didn't want to live the life any more. I needed to develop past the point that busking takes you to. Madeleine Peyroux We wanted to be certain they didn't have a bigger deficit, and Kennedy agreed with me. Wilbur Mills If I'm in a slump, I ask myself for advice. Ichiro Suzuki A kingdom founded on injustice never lasts. Lucius Annaeus Seneca We gained his operational capabilities and he gained our marketing skills. Mercer Reynolds Innocence is like a dumb leper who has lost his bell, wandering the world, meaning no harm. Graham Greene Life is largely a matter of expectation. Horace

The purposes of the United States should not be doubted. The Security Council resolutions will

be enforced - the just demands of peace and security will be met - or action will be unavoidable. And a regime that has lost its legitimacy will also lose its power. Colin Powell I am emphatically against the privatization of Social Security. It is going to hurt millions of American women, American families and ultimately the whole country. Barbara Mikulski Science is the knowledge of consequences, and dependence of one fact upon another. Thomas Hobbes People who say it cannot be done should not interrupt those who are doing it. Unknown We talked about Tootsie, the idea in Tootsie is that a man becomes a better man for having been a woman. Sydney Pollack

I love building spaces: architecture, furniture, all of it, probably

more than fashion. The development procedure is more tactile. It's about space and form and it's something you can share with other people. Donna Karan What we have in us of the image of God is the love of truth and justice. Demosthenes There was no television, so the radio provided you with everything. Ruben Blades All the beasts in Howling Forest were safe in their caves, nests, and burrows. Michael Ende If I wasn't Bob Dylan, I'd probably think that Bob Dylan has a lot of answers myself. Bob Dylan

You get to Hollywood and you are in the land of big money where they

don't like to see only one screenwriter's name. It's much better if you've got four or five. Nigel Kneale Many counties in Maryland are above the average unemployment rate for both Maryland and the United States. We need representation in Congress who will make creating jobs the No. 1 priority so the people of Maryland can get back to work. Andrew P. Harris I've been asked over the years to compile a list of desert-island discs. I couldn't do that. If I was trapped on a desert island, I don't think I'd want 10 songs to bring with me. John Lydon I hate flying. I don't like planes. I get really anxious. Lucy Hale The one thing I've always done is to try not to overcomplicate anything. Henry Thomas I just want to get on stage and sing and be happy. Ronnie Spector I think I'm actually more vulnerable than people imagine. Vincent Cassel I had a dream that I was awake and I woke up to find myself asleep. Stan Laurel The bigg...

It is very normal for people on the ground to look at somebody apparently walking

in midair and thinking first that person is crazy and thinking secondly that person risks his or her life. Philippe Petit To grow a tomato or a pepper and prepare a meal from your labor and care is primordially satisfying. Nell Newman I remember I made $22 a week doing dinner theater in Norfolk, Virginia. Back then, in the '70s, that was pretty good for a teenager, for a part-time job. Stephen Furst I don't do interviews at home any more because my wife doesn't like having her taste in interiors put through the mill. And I get annoyed when journalists make snide remarks about the annoyingly pretentious shops in the neighbourhood - because I hate them just as much. Sebastian Faulks You don't put your head above the parapet and become a personality if you're an illustrator - it's not part of it; it's not possible. You are a servant to the story. Robert Ingpen It's certainly not a shock to find that the industry has no imagination. I think pe...

Data transmission is no longer something scary you don't want in your backyard. Now you

want it directly in front of your house. Douglas Coupland I felt good in all my fights. It's all in the preparation. I prepare myself for all of them. And I felt good in all my fights. Juan Manuel Marquez If you stare at a wall from four in the morning till nine at night, and you do that for a week, you are getting pretty close to nothingness. Robert M. Pirsig My first job was singing on the Cas Walker radio show in Knoxville, Tennessee. I was about 10 years old, and I thought it was big time. Dolly Parton People seem to sometimes have a difficulty drawing that line between the character and the person. Clark Duke I wrote three mysteries and then a contemporary spy novel that was unbelievably derivative - completely based on 'The Conversation,' the movie with Gene Hackman. Amazingly, the character in the book looks exactly like... Gene Hackman. Alan Furst Celebrity is a big part of the American social system. I'm certainly grateful for what it's do...

I've been in this business for a long while, but it's not like

I've been waiting tables. Since I started writing, I've only worked on things that I love. I've had a lot of heartbreak, but you don't become an artist and not expect that. Joss Whedon Exxon, one of the companies that has spent tens of millions of dollars denying climate change, denying any responsibility to deal with, taking government subsidies on a massive scale, now their ads are all about, 'Oh, we want a clean future. We're looking at clean energy and all that stuff.' David Suzuki Good generalship is the realisation that you've got to figure out how to accomplish your mission with the minimum loss of human life. Norman Schwarzkopf I needed a break, and going to culinary school turned a lightbulb on that I didn't have to make music. The people in the music business forget that not only is there an entire world of people out there who do not care what we do, we are not creating the wheel. Kelis In the old days you could do re-runs, and...

The only thing I want to be known as is a country singer. I want

people to hear it and go, 'That's country!' Chris Young I'm the third generation of my family in the film business, and I grew up with a deep passion for movies. I made my own Super 8 films when I was a kid and always loved the editing process. Christopher Rouse Most people think glamor is happiness. Peter Falk When I started picking out music for myself, I was a hip-hop kid. DMX, The Roots, Outkast, people like that. Mike Posner My favorite show is 'Parks and Recreation.' Kerris Dorsey My father gave me some advice when I was very young - whatever someone tells you in the future, don't forget Pele is the best. Jurgen Klopp The reality is for 50 years in this country, federal law has required people that are illegal - or that are immigrants - or that are legal immigrants to this country to carry documentation to that effect. And that has been the law for 50 years. Trent Franks Whenever I start an acting job and talk to my fellow actors, ...

I ride my bike for transportation a great deal - occasionally I ride it for

fun. But I also have a generator bike that's hooked up to my solar battery pack, so if I ride 15 minutes hard on my bike, that's enough energy to toast toast, or power my computer. Ed Begley, Jr. I'm the complete opposite of every clean cut, decent-looking guy you could ever think of. Yet, I have the biggest heart in the world. A. J. McLean Art is for entertainment purposes, but it's also to reflect our dreams, our hopes, the present, the future the past - whether it's good or bad. Amber Valletta I don't think it's healthy to take yourself too seriously. Payne Stewart I'm a very bad baker. Eric Ripert How well he's read, to reason against reading! William Shakespeare I believe that interest in heroes is universal and eternal. Norman Spinrad The air is the only place free from prejudice. Bessie Coleman I've got 11 brothers and sisters. John Boehner As man now is, God once was; as God is now man may be. Lorenzo Snow
