In order to acquire a growing and lasting respect in society, it is a good

John Perkins One aged man - one man - can't fill a house. Robert Frost I wanted to be a doctor in sports medicine; I was into sailing and all that sort of thing.

Francis Bacon My motto is: Contented with little, yet wishing for more. Charles Lamb

All of the sports have a safety net, but boxing is the only sport that

has none. So when the fighter is through, he is through. While he was fighting his management was very excited for him, but now that he is done, that management team is moving on.

Feynman The mistakes and unresolved difficulties of the past in mathematics have always been the opportunities of its future. E. T. Bell

I don't think that you can be prescriptive about anything, I mean, life is too

complicated. Maybe there are novels where the author has not in the least thought about it in terms of film, which can be turned into good films.

Wislawa Szymborska The paradox of courage is that a man must be a little careless of his life even in order to keep it. Gilbert K. Chesterton Old age is not a matter for sorrow. It is matter for thanks if we have left our work done behind us. Thomas Carlyle I don't believe I am influencing anybody but myself. Winona Ryder

Perhaps... I mean there are people who defend that it as an art. I don't.

I like it but it's not an art form as far as I'm concerned, and yet it's a similar thing, once you can't land those jumps, you're disqualified - that precludes it from ever becoming a serious art form. Mark Morris I am obliged to believe certain opinions myself. No man's belief will save me except my own. Anthony Collins Avoid any specific discussion of public policy at public meetings.

Everyone who achieves success in a great venture, solves each problem as they came to

it. They helped themselves. And they were helped through powers known and unknown to them at the time they set out on their voyage. They keep going regardless of the obstacles they met. W.

Frank Lloyd Wright I've been living with the minor second all my life and I finally found a way to handle it. Morton Feldman

I do what I do, and write what I write, without calculating what is worth

what and so on. Fortunately, I am not a banker or an accountant. I feel that there is a time when a political statement needs to be made and I make it.

Gertrude Stein And how can man die better than facing fearful odds, for the ashes of his fathers, and the temples of his Gods? Thomas Babington Macaulay

In a government such as ours we have vigorous contests to determine who should lead.

This is how I define grace: you're on the main stage, and it looks like

it has been rehearsed 100 times, everything goes so smoothly. That's where I get my confidence and success, from knowing that I have an edge because I know I'm prepared. Alex Rodriguez If you don't risk anything, you risk even more. Erica Jong In music, as I find myself forever saying, things don't get better or worse: they evolve and transform themselves.

Eric Roberts

If we listened to our intellect, we'd never have a love affair. We'd never have

a friendship. We'd never go into business, because we'd be cynical. Well, that's nonsense. You've got to jump off cliffs all the time and build your wings on the way down. Ray Bradbury I have noticed that the people who are late are often so much jollier than the people who have to wait for them. E. V.

Sigmund Freud

I got this idea about being afraid to let go of something and being afraid

of sinking into a state of almost anesthesia, where you have to trust other people. Just the paranoia of it all. And it seemed to suit the frenetic track.

What we're doing with Band of Brothers is trying to put it into
