Society for recovering drowned persons, which may be justly pronounced one of the most beautiful and interesting sermons in the English language. John Strachan We are all here on earth to help others; what on earth the others are here for I don't know. W. H. Auden Need we add that mathematicians themselves are not infallible?

Benjamin Franklin I know of no more encouraging fact than the unquestionable ability of man to elevate his life by conscious endeavor. Henry David Thoreau Television makes so much at its worst that it can't afford to do its best. Fred W. Friendly

To love someone is to isolate him from the world, wipe out every trace of

him, dispossess him of his shadow, drag him into a murderous future. It is to circle around the other like a dead star and absorb him into a black light. Jean Baudrillard Many people have the idea that game shows are easy to come up with. And nothing could be further from the truth. Bob Barker I've been in a situation where I was after the money. Morris Chestnut The proper study of mankind is the science of design. Herbert Simon They missed a great opportunity to shut up. Jacques Chirac I never have taken a picture I've intended. They're always better or worse. Diane Arbus On those long notes behind the trumpet solo, if anyone lets his mind wander for a minute he is dead. Don Ellis

I've been doing TV for fourteen years, and I've always had a fascination with the

political business side. It's ruled my life. Ratings or no ratings have decided where I live, who I work with, and how long I'll be doing that particular job. Charlotte Ross We changed our image. At least when we ran out on the field or broke the huddle, we would look like winners. Hayden Fry I love making records; I love making music; I love writing songs. Barry Gibb Logistics is the ball and chain of armored warfare. Heinz Guderian To realize that you do not understand is a virtue; Not to realize that you do not understand is a defect.

William Rehnquist A man travels the world over in search of what he needs and returns home to find it. George A. Moore Most of the things worth doing in the world had been declared impossible before they were done. Louis D. Brandeis We have been roommates our entire lives. We just bought a place together.

No faction is better or worse than any other. All come from the same mould;

they are all products of capitalist influence in the working class movement. And they are a poison that destroys our Party and the working class movement in Korea. Kim Jong Il I was born in revolution. Mary Harris Jones I enjoy talking to fans. Douglas Wilson After all, it's the future of business communication that we're looking toward. Jim Barksdale I am six feet tall. I am not supposed to be afraid. Keith Miller The ordinary man with extraordinary power is the chief danger for mankind - not the fiend or the sadist. Erich Fromm There's no one to stop you but yourself. Dave Thomas

It's queer how ready people always are with advice in any real or imaginary emergency,

and no matter how many times experience has shown them to be wrong, they continue to set forth their opinions, as if they had received them from the Almighty! Anne Sullivan Christina Aguilera and I are friends no matter what the media makes up. Britney Spears I've found constancy and balance between creativity and normality. Julian Lennon Independence is not a whim or an ambition. It is the necessary condition of our survival as an ethnic group. Aslan Maskhadov There is nothing that fear and hope does not permit men to do. Luc de Clapiers I love men who make me laugh. Nastassja Kinski I believe in financial retirement. I don't necessarily believe in physical retirement. Jerry Doyle

The anger that appears to be building up between the sexes becomes more virulent with

every day that passes. And far from women taking the blame... the fact is that men are invariably portrayed as the bad guys. Being a good man is like being a good Nazi. Dave Thomas They seem not to listen to what I have to say, so I'm going to quit. Richard Kerry Fear is the tax that conscience pays to guilt. George Sewell Reading computer manuals without the hardware is as frustrating as reading sex manuals without the software. Arthur C. Clarke Actually, the fun part was not knowing what the heck I was going to be doing. Utada Hikaru But great loves, to the last, have pulses red; All great loves that have ever died dropped dead. Helen Hunt Jackson You feel a little older in the morning. By noon I feel about 55. Bob Dole

The language of the younger generation has the brutality of the city and an assertion

of threatening power at hand, not to come. It is military, theatrical, and at its most coherent probably a lasting repudiation of empty courtesy and bureaucratic euphemism. Elizabeth Hardwick I don't think I have ever met a single person who isn't moved by music of some kind. Lesley Garrett More people are exposed to movies than to most other forms of art. Richard King Theirs is not to make reply: Theirs is not to reason why: Theirs is but to do and die. Alfred Lord Tennyson This fear of death infused me with the desire to live, and to live harder. Josh Lucas Rock's so good to me. Rock is my child and my grandfather. Chuck Berry We simply must do better. David Price

If we get you in the early years of your life and we fill your

head with all of the Catholic stories, then it's very hard for you to stop being Catholic. Catholics are Catholics because they like being Catholic. Andrew Greeley I don't like to cry in public, unless I'm getting paid for it. Andrea Martin I grew up in the Ukraine 'til I was about 7, and then I moved to L.A. Mila Kunis How often misused words generate misleading thoughts. Herbert Spencer My school is attended by near three hundred scholars. Joseph Lancaster Adequacy is sufficient. Adam Osborne My goal is the same as every year - to not hurt myself. Bode Miller

People have a preconceived notion about who I am and it's interesting. It's like picking

who you want to win for the Oscars and not seeing the movie. Before you make a statement about someone, get all the information and see everything before you make a judgment. Amanda Bynes A healthy old fellow, who is not a fool, is the happiest creature living. Gerald Brenan As the arteries grow hard, the heart grows soft. H. L. Mencken That is the consolation of a little mind; you have the fun of changing it without impeding the progress of mankind. Frank Moore Colby A graceful taunt is worth a thousand insults. Louis Nizer All you need for a movie is a gun and a girl. Jean-Luc Godard The Smiths was an incredibly personal thing to me. It was like launching your own diary to music. Morrissey

It is love rather than sexual lust or unbridled sexuality if, in addition to the

need or want involved, there is also some impulse to give pleasure to the persons thus loved and not merely to use them for our own selfish pleasure. Mortimer Adler The ocean moans over dead men's bones. Thomas Bailey Aldrich A coach is someone who can give correction without causing resentment.

Margaret Mitchell Grant me some wild expressions, Heavens, or I shall burst. George Farquhar

You can lose people without them dying, and I have, from moving, from traveling. The

emotion is real, it just doesn't actually have to do with death. I'm singing about what I know, and it's a song about longing for somebody who's disappeared in your life. Jon Crosby We manage the fear, I manage the fear, but it certainly takes its toll, the strain does. Christiane Amanpour Do Lipton employees take coffee breaks? Steven Wright If real churches exist, such persons are not called on to make them. John Nelson Darby How much the greatest event it is that ever happened in the world! And how much the best!

All the tribes tell the same story. They are surrounded on all sides, the game

is destroyed or driven away; they are left to starve, and there remains but one thing for them to do - fight while they can. George Crook Give what you have to somebody, it may be better than you think. Henry Wadsworth Longfellow Genius is a word too often tossed around in musical circles. Stanley Jordan The great thing about arriving at this age is that I don't even care about my career anymore. Ron Perlman If you put a baseball and other toys in front of a baby, he'll pick up a baseball in preference to the others. Tris Speaker People my age don't always know where their music comes from. Isaac Hanson Never forget the three powerful resources you always have available to you: love, prayer, and forgiveness. H. Jackson Brown, Jr.

We all need somebody to talk to. It would be good if we talked... not

just pitter-patter, but real talk. We shouldn't be so afraid, because most people really like this contact; that you show you are vulnerable makes them free to be vulnerable. Liv Ullmann Physical qualities don't really matter much. Frank Langella Oxford also taught me something else - it taught me scepticism. Frank Scott Private property was the original source of freedom. It still is its main ballpark. Walter Lippmann I've done every tour with them since then and will always be with them as long as they're together. Jimmy Carl Black We really shouldn't be running education like a supermarket where you compare prices. Shirley Williams Faith certainly tells us what the senses do not, but not the contrary of what they see; it is above, not against them. Blaise Pascal

My definition of success is to live your life in a way that causes you

to feel a ton of pleasure and very little pain - and because of your lifestyle, have the people around you feel a lot more pleasure than they do pain. Tony Robbins If such a young nation as the U.S. could make it to superpower status, we could do it as well. Ayaan Hirsi Ali I am sure that I have been much more useful to society as a medical physicist. John Cameron To be ignorant of one's ignorance is the malady of the ignorant. Amos Bronson Alcott Truth is absolute, truth is supreme, truth is never disposable in national political life. John Howard If you were to come to Minnesota, I could have you locked up like that. That's power. Jesse Ventura Freedom is the sure possession of those alone who have the courage to defend it. Pericles

When we were at peace, Democrats wanted to raise taxes. Now there's a war, so

Democrats want to raise taxes. When there was a surplus, Democrats wanted to raise taxes. Now that there is a mild recession, Democrats want to raise taxes. Ann Coulter Work hard, use your common sense and don't be afraid to trust your instincts. Fred L. Turner Freedom comes from strength and self-reliance. Lisa Murkowski I've always loved writing. Casper Van Dien No one would talk much in society if they knew how often they misunderstood others. Johann Wolfgang von Goethe With God, what is terrible is that one never knows whether it's not just a trick of the devil. Jean Anouilh The house is a factory. Dave Eggers

Poverty is everyone's problem. It cuts across any line you can name: age, race, social,

geographic or religious. Whether you are black or white; rich, middle-class or poor, we are ALL touched by poverty. Kathleen Blanco Opera is credible drama now, and it costs less than going to a football match. What have you got to lose? Lesley Garrett I don't have false teeth. Do you think I'd buy teeth like these? Carol Burnett I define nothing. Not beauty, not patriotism. I take each thing as it is, without prior rules about what it should be. Bob Dylan Most drama in our lives is really rather squalid. Tom Baker Washington is no place for a good actor. The competition from bad actors is too great. Fred Allen Some people have greatness thrust upon them. Very few have excellence thrust upon them. John W. Gardner

It is long since I could have adventured on eternity, through God's mercy and Christ's

merits; but death remained somewhat terrible, and that now is taken away; and now death is no more to me, but to cast myself into my husband's arms, and to lie down with Him. Donald Cargill It doesn't matter who my father was; it matters who I remember he was. Anne Sexton It's better to have loved and lost than to have to do forty pounds of laundry a week. Laurence J. Peter It well becomes a young man to be modest. Plautus We won't have a society if we destroy the environment. Margaret Mead You know why I'm pulling your leg? Because I can't touch it from where I am. Gene Simmons I just like movies that somehow expose the world in a way that's different than you imagine it. Alex Winter

My musical background is like almost every non classical musician in the world. One day

a special record was heard and that was it. I was hooked, started trying to play various instruments and was off to bar land to become a rock star. What else? Kevin Johnson I won this award for keeping my mouth shut, so I think I'll do it again now. Jane Wyman Every animal leaves traces of what it was; man alone leaves traces of what he created. Jacob Bronowski The key to truly rebuilding our central city on a vital and sustainable foundation is people. Alan Autry I think ethics is always there; it's not always a very thoughtful or reflective ethics. Peter Singer Travel makes a wise man better, and a fool worse. Thomas Fuller A good and faithful judge ever prefers the honorable to the expedient. Horace

She's true to herself and she's determined. She has things going against her, but she

forges ahead despite all of that. I think that's encouraging. She's got some problems, but she has hope and tries to plow through things. I think that's a good role model. Molly Shannon The trumpet was not a lyrical singing instrument. Herb Alpert Art is the most beautiful of all lies. Claude Debussy I like the way that different people recognise me for the roles I done. Casper Van Dien That Mississippi sound, that Delta sound is in them old records. You can hear it all the way through. Muddy Waters The body can do amazing things in a situation when it is really called for. Suzanne Farrell Black and white players hadn't appeared together in public before Teddy Wilson and I began working with B.G. Lionel Hampton

The trouble with kingdoms of heaven on earth is that they're liable to come to

pass, and then their fraudulence is apparent for all to see. We need a kingdom of heaven in Heaven, if only because it can't be realized. Malcolm Muggeridge Generally speaking, actors are allowed NO input. Actors are dumb. Dirk Benedict We're waiting for the pendulum to swing back again, which I am absolutely confident it will. Don Bluth The moral of filmmaking in Britain is that you will be screwed by the weather. Hugh Grant You must pass your days in song. Let your whole life be a song. Sai Baba Those who do not want to imitate anything, produce nothing. Salvador Dali A wise system of education will at last teach us how little man yet knows, how much he has still to learn. John Lubbock

In fact, I think that Governor Clinton, when he was running, and President Clinton, when

he was serving, actually governed with a wide range of advisors and a perspective that blended the best of ideas from the center and the left. John Podesta The very air in which you live is an inspiration. William Henry Moody When you love someone all your saved up wishes start coming out. Elizabeth Bowen She always says, my lord, that facts are like cows. If you look them in the face hard enough they generally run away. Dorothy L. Sayers The more work I do, the more important it is to work with people I like - who are very talented. Frank Oz A real diplomat is one who can cut his neighbor's throat without having his neighbor notice it. Trygve Lie If the theory turns out to be right, that will be tremendously thick and tasty icing on the cake. Brian Greene

I have had so many great moments, but I would have to say that dancing

the Swan in 'Swan Lake' was such a unique and passionate experience for me. It was such bloody hard work, even at that very early age, that I would not want to try to replicate it again now. William Kempe Let them hate so long as they fear. Lucius Accius I am the guardian of power, not its owner. Vicente Fox There are no absolute rules of conduct, either in peace or war. Everything depends on circumstances. Leon Trotsky I start where the last man left off. Thomas A. Edison The modern computer hovers between the obsolescent and the nonexistent. Sydney Brenner A leader must have the courage to act against an expert's advice. James Callaghan

There was no imminent threat. This was made up in Texas, announced in January to

the Republican leadership that war was going to take place and was going to be good politically. This whole thing was a fraud. Edward Kennedy The power of fortune is confessed only by the miserable, for the happy impute all their success to prudence or merit. Jonathan Swift Tragedy is restful: and the reason is that hope, that foul, deceitful thing, has no part in it. Jean Anouilh We all get discouraged. Richard G. Scott I look upon every day to be lost, in which I do not make a new acquaintance. Samuel Johnson The whole point about becoming an actor is variety and changing roles. Richard Wilson I don't write polite letters. I don't like to plea-bargain. I like to fight. Roy Cohn

Being the only non-Black was a unique experience. After a few weeks, you're not aware

of skin color differences. You see the color; you're not blind, but it doesn't matter. You see the human being first. Ricardo Montalban What you do today can improve all your tomorrows. Ralph Marston Get to know other worlds, if only for comparison. I am near, too near for him to dream of me. Wislawa Szymborska Harold Wilson is going around the country stirring up apathy. William Whitelaw I went to watch Pavarotti once. He doesn't like it when you join in. Mick Miller Body experience... is the centre of creation. Barbara Hepworth For true success ask yourself these four questions: Why? Why not? Why not me? Why not now? James Allen

We don't need a melting pot in this country, folks. We need a salad bowl.

In a salad bowl, you put in the different things. You want the vegetables - the lettuce, the cucumbers, the onions, the green peppers - to maintain their identity. You appreciate differences. Jane Elliot There's something liberating about not pretending. Dare to embarrass yourself. Risk. Drew Barrymore Cutting edge, breakthrough, television. That's what we want to do. Anthony Michael Hall Black Power is giving power to people who have not had power to determine their destiny. Huey Newton And the general opinion is we are much better on stage than in the studio. Stewart Copeland We absolutely have to restrain concentrations of wealth in industry from spoiling the situation for everybody. William Weld You know why there's a Second Amendment? In case the government fails to follow the first one. Rush Limbaugh

After a shooting spree, they always want to take the guns away from the people

who didn't do it. I sure as hell wouldn't want to live in a society where the only people allowed guns are the police and the military. William S. Burroughs If life had a second edition, how I would correct the proofs. John Clare An old thing becomes new if you detach it from what usually surrounds it. Robert Bresson I think there's something great and generic about goldfish. They're everybody's first pet. Paul Rudd He who stops being better stops being good. Oliver Cromwell I don't think silicone makes a girl good or bad. James Caan The happiness of society is the end of government. John Adams

tidal wave, if there was a bubonic plague in England and if the continent of Africa disappeared from some Martian attack. Russell Crowe Man makes holy what he believes. Ernest Renan It was all completely incomprehensible to me. I was fearful of the language. You had to look up every third word. Kevin Kline It is not God's will merely that we should be happy, but that we should make ourselves happy. Immanuel Kant The presidency is more than a popularity contest. Al Gore They call it golf because all the other four-letter words were taken. Ray Floyd When in doubt, do it. Oliver Wendell Holmes, Jr.

No part of the world can be truly understood without a knowledge of its garment

of vegetation, for this determines not only the nature of the animal inhabitants but also the occupations of the majority of human beings. Ellsworth Huntington I think; therefore I am. Rene Descartes But the watchful care of the parent is endless. The youth is never free from the danger of grating interference. William Godwin Consequences are unpitying. George Eliot You have to hit the fastball to play in the big leagues. Ted Williams Many human beings say that they enjoy the winter, but what they really enjoy is feeling proof against it. Richard Adams These places, and the ancient things you know, You won't know soon. I'm working on it now.' Andrew Motion

Because I'm such a creative person, and I've always got my nose in a book,

I suppose it was only a matter of time before non-fiction turned into fiction again. But I never consciously set out to become a writer and I never thought I'd be doing the things I'm doing today. Paul Kane To copy beauty forfeits all pretense to fame; to copy faults is want of sense. Charles Churchill The hardest job an actor can do is all this pretend, all this screaming and being scared for your life. Kirsten Dunst P.C. is just too Big Brother - telling me how I should act and feel. Johnny Kelly By nature all men are equal in liberty, but not in other endowments. Thomas Aquinas Space isn't remote at all. It's only an hour's drive away if your car could go straight upwards. Fred Hoyle A good idea for lyrics and a melody to expand on. Gordon Waller

No press conference announcing a last film. I'd just steal away. Best way because, if

by chance after two or three years something interesting comes up, I would not - like Sinatra - have to say: 'Well, I've thought it over and decided to come back.' Sophia Loren I don't weigh a pound over one hundred and eighty and, what's more, I never did. Fatty Arbuckle Great wits are sure to madness near allied, and thin partitions do their bounds divide.

David Duchovny Business can be a source of progressive change. Jerry Greenfield

I know some things when I start. I know, let's say, that the play is

going to be a 1970s or a 1930s play, and it's going to be about a piano, but that's it. I slowly discover who the characters are as I go along. August Wilson I'm interested in astrology and astronomy. Emm Gryner Knowledge is an unending adventure at the edge of uncertainty. Jacob Bronowski The funny thing about television is that once you start to do it you never get time to watch it. Kevin Sorbo If you don't know about it, you can't get it.

To me, the whole idea of fame and I think it can be a real

test of somebody, of who they are. You know, 'cause some strange things happen. I've seen some peculiar things as far as a person just living their life. Tobey Maguire It's an indulgence to sit in a room and discuss your beliefs as if they were a juicy piece of gossip. Robert A.

Georg Trakl Always render more and better service than is expected of you, no matter what your task may be. Og Mandino

When you perform in front of an audience after only two days of rehearsal, you're

flying by the seat of your pants - particularly when they're rewriting the show right up to the moment the camera goes on.

William Wordsworth I don't think I'll get married again. I'll just find a woman I don't like and give her a house. Lewis Grizzard

Well, I'm not going to go into what the letter says, because the police are

looking at that. But as you say it's in Bahasa. But of course that's not to suggest that the letter came from outside of Australia. It came from in Australia. It came from Victoria.

Herbert Spencer A thousand words will not leave so deep an impression as one deed. Henrik Ibsen

John, for example, compose by lyrics. Elton has a great talent for that. Whatever you give him, including your questions, he composes in half an hour and makes a great song out of it.

Creativity is a great motivator because it makes people interested in what they are doing.

Creativity gives hope that there can be a worthwhile idea. Creativity gives the possibility of some sort of achievement to everyone. Creativity makes life more fun and more interesting. Edward de Bono Mixing one's wines may be a mistake, but old and new wisdom mix admirably. Bertolt Brecht I've been dating since I was fifteen. I'm exhausted. Where is he?

Esther Williams There are very few people who are not ashamed of having been in love when they no longer love each other. Francois de La Rochefoucauld

Only weeks after Oslo began, when nearly all the world and most of Israel was

drunk with the idea of peace, I argued that a Palestinian society not constrained by democratic norms would be a fear society that would pose a grave threat to Israel.
