I've been getting a lot of science fiction scripts which contained variations on my 'Star

Trek' character and I've been turning them down. I strongly feel that the next role I do, I should not be wearing spandex. Marina Sirtis There is nothing that wastes the body like worry, and one who has any faith in God should be ashamed to worry about anything whatsoever. Mahatma Gandhi I don't know if we even mentioned UFOs. It was to find out why Barney was emotionally upset. Betty Hill I'm hyperactive, and I went in the studio and I would just start making records, for no reason. Sean Combs Time heals all wounds, unless you pick at them. Shaun Alexander The Beatles saved the world from boredom. George Harrison The world is divided into two categories: failures and unknowns. Francis Picabia

We just did a show in Providence, Rhode Island, and we got three puppy shots

before we even got on the air, which was great. Although sometimes you get flashed by some puppies that you'd rather not see. They're more like mongrels. Jerry Lawler Let us be of cheer, remembering that the misfortunes hardest to bear are those which never come. Amy Lowell Acting is like a Halloween mask that you put on. River Phoenix Undoubtedly, there are numerous problems with the immigration system here in The United States. Corrine Brown In everything truth surpasses the imitation and copy. Marcus Tullius Cicero Crises are challenges, not calamities. Guy Verhofstadt I look just like the girls next door... if you happen to live next door to an amusement park. Dolly Parton

I inherited a sick economy and passed on a sound one. But one abiding regret

for me is that, in between, I did not have the resources to put in place the educational and social changes about which I cared to much; I made only a beginning, and it was not enough. John Major In politics the middle way is none at all. John Adams There's no greater way to gain an audience's sympathy than by being unfortunate. Seth Green Anyone who knows a strange fact shares in its singularity. Jean Genet The Beach Boys are not a superstar group. The music is the superstar of the group. Dennis Wilson I don't care who does the electing, so long as I get to do the nominating. Boss Tweed Many intelligence reports in war are contradictory; even more are false, and most are uncertain. Carl von Clausewitz

When you have energy companies like Shell and British Petroleum, both of which are perhaps

represented in this room, saying there is a problem with excess carbon dioxide emission, I think we ought to listen. James Baker The world is ruled only by consideration of advantages. Friedrich Schiller Courage means to keep working a relationship, to continue seeking solutions to difficult problems, and to stay focused during stressful periods. Denis Waitley The very aim and end of our institutions is just this: that we may think what we like and say what we think. Oliver Wendell Holmes, Sr. I am not opposed to intelligence reform on its face, but any changes should reflect the current context. Ted Stevens It is never easy for anyone to have success in music. Billy Sheehan Before you can do something you must first be something. John Gielgud

It doesn't really exist; it's just basically lots of different stages between the two pieces,

and you end up with, like, a third shape that doesn't exist but is suggested to you by the image. Sean Booth I'm convinced that had I not changed my name, I don't think I would have had quite the same career curve that I eventually had. Ben Kingsley Elegance is innate. It has nothing to do with being well dressed. Elegance is refusal. Diana Vreeland You must not lean on a tree on Sabbath, if the tree might be dependent on you for support. Ovadia Yosef Our best thoughts come from others. Ralph Waldo Emerson When you do a job like this you have to like having cold sweat on your back. John Pomfret I love oldies just kind of sweet, slinky, Fifties music. The slow stuff. And Billie Holiday. Nastassja Kinski

The work of the political activist inevitably involves a certain tension between the requirement that

position be taken on current issues as they arise and the desire that one's contributions will somehow survive the ravages of time. Angela Davis It is as natural to die as to be born; and to a little infant, perhaps, the one is as painful as the other. Francis Bacon The only way to quieten me is to invite me to a tennis match. John Forsythe Run for office? No. I've slept with too many women, I've done too many drugs, and I've been to too many parties. George Clooney You don't choose. I just go where the work is. Jacqueline McKenzie It is the mind that maketh good or ill, That maketh wretch or happy, rich or poor. Michel de Montaigne A business absolutely devoted to service will have only one worry about profits. They will be embarrassingly large. Henry Ford

Our covering ministry is Challenge for Christ ministries, and Travel the Road was solely our

mission arm, designed to expose people to what missions are, then connect them with agencies that send people out. Michael Scott The courts are as a stage, people love to see attractive players. Anna Kournikova I am ready any time. Do not keep me waiting. John Mason Brown Back of ninety-nine out of one-hundred assertions that a thing cannot be done is nothing, but the unwillingness to do it. William Feather He's suffering from Politicians' Logic. Something must be done, this is something, therefore we must do it. Antony Jay Since it is not granted to us to live long, let us transmit to posterity some memorial that we have at least lived. E. Joseph Cossman The right to revolt has sources deep in our history. William O. Douglas

Can you hang in there with your investigators when things get going tough? Don't give

up on investigators because they have a little weakness. Work with them until the Holy Ghost tells you not to. Richard G. Scott Love is blind; friendship closes its eyes. Friedrich Nietzsche I haven't been to a movie in a year and a half. James Ellroy Once we open the door to the plutonium economy, we expose ourselves to absolutely terrible, horrifying risks from these people. David R. Brower Comedy comes from conflict, from hatred. Warren Mitchell Adult stem cells tend not to form tumors. Virginia Foxx Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the law. Aleister Crowley

The broadest pattern of history - namely, the differences between human societies on different continents

- seems to me to be attributable to differences among continental environments, and not to biological differences among peoples themselves. Jared Diamond Generals think war should be waged like the tourneys of the Middle Ages. I have no use for knights; I need revolutionaries. Adolf Hitler Like everyone else who makes the mistake of getting older, I begin each day with coffee and obituaries. Bill Cosby I'm inspired by nature. Other artist's work is important for developing my perception. Mike Thompson I had a million questions to ask God: but when I met Him, they all fled my mind; and it didn't seem to matter. Christopher Morley Borrowing is not much better than begging; just as lending with interest is not much better than stealing. Doris Lessing It's a lot easier to tell the truth usually. Elliott Smith

To unfold the secret laws and relations of those high faculties of thought by which

all beyond the merely perceptive knowledge of the world and of ourselves is attained or matured, is a object which does not stand in need of commendation to a rational mind. George Boole Every one soon or late comes round by Rome. Robert Browning I never see failure as failure, but only as the game I must play and win. Tom Hopkins The virtue of justice consists in moderation, as regulated by wisdom. Aristotle Jim mentioned I was an ALEC member, and that's correct. Don Nickles When an opponent comes forward, move in and greet him; if he wants to pull back, send him on his way. Morihei Ueshiba I actually don't think that I'm gonna sell a lot of records. Elliott Smith

I don't know the taxpayer has perhaps much of an understanding of just how much

wealth has been and is being and can be created that flows through the economy and just how many jobs depend upon it. John Anderson We must never forget or diminish the sacrifices of those who gave everything for this nation. Jim Walsh Similes prove nothing, but yet greatly lighten and relieve the tedium of argument. Robert South During the 60's, drug use was in fashion in the U.S. Bill Toomey I love songs that have a rocking and grooving feeling. Joe Cocker I created no authority that wasn't already there under the constitution. John Engler Everybody has a different definition of the good side. Will Wright

The paradigm of competition is a race: by rewarding the winner, we encourage everyone to

run faster. When capitalism really works this way, it does a good job; but its defenders are wrong in assuming it always works this way. Richard Stallman I was born in Taunton, Massachusetts on June 1, 1917, but I actually grew up in nearby New Bedford. William Standish Knowles Britain is not a country that is easily rocked by revolution... In Britain our institutions evolve. We are a Fabian Society writ large. William Hamilton My mind's my kingdom.

Hans Bender I strongly believe that we as a nation can be both secure and free. Jon Corzine

Gemeoss

I haven't always acted or reacted in a way that made me proud,

but I didn't make that same mistake twice, and I think that's what I love about adversity is that it always reminds me of what's really valuable in life. Sandra Bullock Many of the crew members I work with and continue to work with were friends or have become close friends, and so we keep working together. And I like casting friends of mine or people I know in parts I know would be perfect for them. I like to bring things and people that mean something to me in to my work. Noah Baumbach I've had shows as a painter, as a photographer, I've done shows as a sculptor. I've done a lot of different things and it all comes from experiences that you have in your life, in your creative environment. They all help - I don't even know if they help; maybe they make it worse but they all influence each other, for sure. Norman Reedus It's very different working with all adults. I have a swear jar so that, if they have a potty mouth, I make them pay. That's...

During the mission, Walter Jones, a team member was given a package containing bone fragments

by a Lao. The source said they were from a crash site. He presented photographs showing himself in company with others digging around obvious aircraft debris. Bo Gritz Signs of fatigue soon manifested themselves more and more strongly, and slowly the men dropped out one by one, from sheer exhaustion. No murmur of complaint, however, would be heard. Fritz Kreisler It's hard enough to work and raise a family when your kids are all healthy and relatively normal, but when you add on some kind of disability or disease, it can just be such a burden. Patricia Heaton The thing that makes 'Dirty Jobs' different is that it's one of the few shows that portrays work in a way that doesn't highlight the drudgery. Instead, it highlights the humor. Mike Rowe I'm most comfortable with the Southern dialects, really. It's easy, for example, for me to do Irish because we've got Irish heritage where I come from. Brad Pitt Sight and touch, being thus increased ...

Our present nuclear fusion reactors are classified by the methods used to support the nuclear

fusion reaction, which takes place at a temperature much hotter than the surface of the Sun. Wilson Greatbatch Going to a grammar school, you mixed with all sorts of different types and I used to listen to how they talked. When I did my imitations, I could sound like someone really rough, or I could sound like a cabinet minister. Steve Coogan When there's a terrible illness like AIDS sweeping through, you help people. Bernadette Peters I love myself. Anything that has my name I'm tickled to death. Barbara Corcoran My career in racing started at a very young age in California. Jeff Gordon People who believe in flying saucers are the scrapings from the bottom. Nigel Kneale Children often have a much stronger concept of morality than adults. Nina Bawden Most politicians aren't allowed to express themselves any more. Ken Livingstone I'm pretty good with not being afraid to just go up to people and introduce myself. Elle Fanning I just keep it simp...

Sisters are always drying their hair. Locked into rooms, alone, they pose at the mirror,

shoulders bare, trying this way and that their hair, or fly importunate down the stair to answer the telephone. Phyllis McGinley When our Lord says, we must be converted and become as little children, I suppose he means also, that we must be sensible of our weakness, comparatively speaking, as a little child. George Whitefield There's no dancing girls. We're kinda like secondary to the thing. It's a story about these two guys that are in love with this one girl and how it unfolds and what happens. Eric Carr There are men who would quickly love each other if once they were speak to each other; for when they spoke they would discover that their souls had only separated by phantoms and delusions. Ernest Hello If you believe you can, you probably can. If you believe you won't, you most assuredly won't. Belief is the ignition switch that gets you off the launching pad. Denis Waitley Sanity calms, but madness is more interesting. John Russell If there is...

I remember, for the first time, sitting down and consuming books in a matter of

hours. This was such a new experience for me because reading, up until that point, had been such a struggle and source of stress. I think I just needed to find the right kind of stories with which I could identify. John Corey Whaley Having children showed me a whole different kind of love that I had never known. It was something that had always been missing. Complete love. I would die for them. Scott Weiland If I hadn't won at the Worlds and claimed so many ranking points, I would have been struggling for Rio. I'm in a good place now, though, and having the chance to fight for gold in Rio after everything I've been through would be a dream. Bianca Walkden To me, it is like a diabetic with insulin. If that diabetic stops taking insulin, they will die, and I believe that if I don't follow the 12-step programme, I will regress, and that could eventually be the death of me. Trinny Woodall There are maybe 100 actors I look up to, but my first two favourite actors...

The fall of 1912 my fielding was above the average, but my hitting was not

so good. However, I was the talk of the town because of my peculiar way of catching a fly ball. They later named it the Vest-Pocket Catch. Rabbit Maranville Roald Dahl worked with other illustrators, but it was only when he teamed up with Quentin Blake that the chemistry began to fizz. Quentin Blake is Britain's greatest living illustrator and has that special talent all the great illustrators have, of unobtrusive brilliance. Chris Riddell I made my parents crazy. As a kid, I redecorated my bedroom every month. I would literally save my allowance and go buy things. Nate Berkus You have, unfortunately, a K-12 educational system where the requirements to graduate are not the requirements to be college and career-ready. So if you want young adults who are college and career-ready, our K-12 system right now does not have that as its standard. Gerald Chertavian Economics is all about consumption. People either spend money now or they use financial instruments - like bonds, s...

You sweat out the free agent thing in November then you make the trades in

December. Then you struggle to sign the guys left in January and in February I get down to sewing all the new numbers on the uniforms. Whitey Herzog Anyone who considers protocol unimportant has never dealt with a cat. Robert A. Heinlein Man's real life is happy, chiefly because he is ever expecting that it soon will be so. Edgar Allan Poe I am a really bad test taker. I can get straight As in school, but I get nervous on test. Mary-Kate Olsen This age thinks better of a gilded fool Than of a threadbare saint in wisdom's school. Thomas Dekker Inflated descriptions by the pen or exaggerated illustrations by the pencil. Grace Darling The past grows gradually around one, like a placenta for dying. John Berger

We are brunch hounds. We also like movie dates. There's a lot of diners, a

lot of movies. We're 'simple pleasures' people. It doesn't have to be crazy. It could be a 'Law and Order' marathon on the couch, or it could be dinner or a show. We like to mix it up. Rob McClure You're breaking up, you're getting together, you're changing your life, you're arguing with your parents, you're making terrible mistakes, you're having great triumphs. It's what happens to teenagers. Jason Katims I like a fragrance that you notice and want to find out more about - get a bit closer. I don't want to walk in and be jolted awake by someone's smell. Chris Pine The brain is a complex biological organ possessing immense computational capability: it constructs our sensory experience, regulates our thoughts and emotions, and controls our actions. Eric Kandel To learn to do backflips and front flips, you had to fall and bump your head a couple times. I've been doing them since I was a little one, though. Just ...

The mentally ill may have shattered lives, but how that is different than the way

sin distorts our ability to comprehend who we are as God's creatures is not clear. Stanley Hauerwas New technologies can be used for destructive purposes. The answer is to develop rapid-response systems for new dangers like a bioterrorist creating a new biological virus. Ray Kurzweil For the most part, congressional Republicans represent people who are whiter, older and richer than most Americans, and our creaky old political system gives those Americans disproportionate influence over public policy. Alex Pareene Every single director stops at the moment he thinks he has the shot. Sometimes, directors shoot an establishing shot where everything is in the shot. He's going to use this at the beginning and the end. Javier Camara If you put me in the fairway at my average distance into a par 4, 175 to 180 yards, and you put another player in the rough 120 yards from the green, over time, I'm going to wear him out. Zach Johnson Visit those who are sick, or who are...

The Illinois Holocaust Museum & Education Center serves as a poignant reminder of our past

and a trusted source of education for schoolchildren, community members, and visitors from across the country. J. B. Pritzker We're certainly not in position to expand into the East. We've been very candid and up front that if, in fact, we go through an expansion process, the world will know about it. Gary Bettman It isn't called dressage any more - it is called 'dancing horses.' Charlotte Dujardin I think the music industry is something that's very separate from music. So, by always staying on the music side of it, I've found success. Chance The Rapper Wild globalisation has benefited some, but it's been a catastrophe for most. Marine Le Pen You have to tell the whole truth, the good and the bad, maybe some things that are uncomfortable for some people. John Lewis I have never lived in a time when people haven't told me what I look like. Alexa Chung The first song I ever performed in front of an audience was 'Make It Shine...
