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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

I probably haven't even seen ten of the films I've done. I don't get a

joy out of it, and I don't go to the movies. Robert Sean Leonard I can't switch time zones any more. London is one of my favourite places, but I'm always so zonked that I can't appreciate it. It's like a six-inch sheet of glass between me and Charing Cross Road. Douglas Coupland My job is to let everybody know what I stand for and to let my light shine. I want to show others the way I live so that hopefully they follow. I can also tell about my experiences as a Christian so that I may help bring others to Christ. LaDainian Tomlinson Most interviewers are looking for a headline. They're not skilled. They're looking for shock value. Ice T If we admit it or not, skiing is a little bit of show biz. Willy Bogner, Jr. The more time you invest in a marriage, the more valuable it becomes. Amy Grant Involvement in Afghanistan, I thought, was totally warranted. We were attacked, we attacked back, but after six months of being in Afghanistan, I though...

You travel across the country, you visit departments, you give talks, you talk about the

work at your laboratory - what's going on, what the opportunities are there - you talk about your own research. Frank Press In the adversity of our best friends we often find something that does not displease us. Brigham Young Sound science must be our guide in choosing which problems to tackle and how to approach them.

Must have been her accent. Judy Holliday If civilians are going to be killed, I would rather have them be their civilians than our civilians. Stuart Symington

I wish the government and the Minister of Justice would address these legal and constitutional

arguments, but they refuse to. They want Canadians to go blindly into their brave new world, but it is not wise for a society to move blindly in any direction. Stockwell Day If I had not some strength of will I would make a first class drunkard. Ernest Shackleton Green is the prime color of the world, and that from which its loveliness arises. Pedro Calderon de la Barca I don't want the kind of theater that I love and grew up seeing to die out. Jerry Herman One must think like a hero to behave like a merely decent human being. May Sarton Beyond this day, no thinking person could fail to see what would happen. Oskar Schindler No matter how many helicopters there are, when it comes down to it there is the camera and you. Jacqueline McKenzie

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

thing, if you possess great talent, to give, early in your youth, a very hard kick to the right shin of the society that you love. After that, be a snob. Salvador Dali I was not put on this earth to listen to meat! Dana Snyder Never wait for trouble. Chuck Yeager I'm gonna put a curse on you and all your kids will be born completely naked. Jimi Hendrix Silence is foolish if we are wise, but wise if we are foolish. Charles Caleb Colton For truth is precious and divine, too rich a pearl for carnal swine. Samuel Butler They took away time, and they gave us the clock. Abdullah Ibrahim

That's where I got my start and where I'll continue to work, but I can't

tell you the number of films between Drugstore Cowboy and Curly Sue that I auditioned for and wanted that didn't choose me. Kelly Lynch I haven't spoken English with native speakers in several months. I've been speaking Arabic.

Unfortunately, there are times when peace must be defended by fighting terror and tyranny. James H. Douglas, Jr. It is hard to say why politicians are called servants, unless it is because a good one is hard to find. Gerald F. Lieberman

It's really rare for people to have a successful start-up in this industry without a

breakthrough product. I'll take it a step further. It has to be a radical product. It has to be something where, when people look at it, at first they say, 'I don't get it, I don't understand it. I think it's too weird, I think it's too unusual.' Marc Andreessen I try to make my bed every day for mental health. Coming home to an unmade bed or a room with clothes all over will depress me. David Alan Grier Cookbooks have all become baroque and very predictable. I'm looking for something different. A lot of chefs' cookbooks are food as it's done in the restaurants, but they are dumbed down, and I hate it when they dumb them down. Mario Batali I'm not even sure that any of us are ever ready for anything. We can be ripe, or over-ready, but what is that moment when we're actually ready? Andrea Riseborough English muffins with avocado is one of my favorite breakfasts. Mia Hamm Online media is increasingly influential in fashion. ...

My dad made a film called 'Willow' when he was a young filmmaker, which screened

at the Cannes film festival, and people were booing afterwards. Bryce Dallas Howard Despite the strength of the feminist movement in the 1970s and beyond, a fable has persisted that educated women are rejected as marriage partners. Karen DeCrow When the Transportation Security Administration adopted body scanners at airports, activists wrote the Fourth Amendment on their underwear in metallic paint readable by the new devices. Dana Priest I consider myself a line drive hitter with power. I just try to put my best swing on the ball every time. Albert Pujols I get to have Sunday lunch at my mum's, pick my nephew up from school now and then: it's a very normal life. Vicky McClure Homosexuality is acceptable in the West. Najib Razak Negative emotions like hatred destroy our peace of mind. Matthieu Ricard I majored in criminal justice. I like 'CSI,' all that, '24.' I watch those shows on A&E, if I watch TV. I don't really watch TV shows. ...

The most important thing in imaging for me is the dynamic range. The dynamic range

means the tones that you can capture from highlights to dark and the bits, the depth of color that you can capture. Emmanuel Lubezki The butcher, baker, and candlestick maker have been around a lot longer than supermarkets and Wal-Mart. Joel Salatin If I'd been offered 'Spider-Man,' I probably would have done it. I don't think it's bad to go and do those things. Ben Wheatley We do not just fear our predators, we are transfixed by them. We are prone to weave stories and fables and chat endlessly about them. Peter Benchley It's true, I used to be so shy. I used to never talk, just sit back and do my thing. I was never bullied, though, and it was never like it was something that needed to be 'fixed', like being shy is a bad thing. Kendall Jenner One of my favorite films is 'Late Spring' by Yasujiro Ozu. To me, it represents film as art. Michael Arndt 'I Want To Hold Your Hand' is a great classic by Paul McCartney and John L...

I made a Christmas album a couple of years ago and just put it out

on my Web site. It kind of smacked of this flavor. All of the reviews said it was Western swing even when it was Christmas standards. Suzy Bogguss Uneasy lies the head that wears a crown. William Shakespeare To be a good draftsman was to me a blessing. John James Audubon As you get older three things happen. The first is your memory goes, and I can't remember the other two. Norman Wisdom Love is the great miracle cure. Loving ourselves works miracles in our lives. Louise L. Hay We have two evils to fight, capitalism and racism. We must destroy both racism and capitalism. Huey Newton Talk ought always to run obliquely, not nose to nose with no chance of mental escape. Frank Moore Colby

The critical principle demanded an examination, for instance, of the contribution of different periods, thus

to some extent embarking on historical linguistics. Ferdinand de Saussure She's 32, and she has three children. She loves to be pregnant but she doesn't want anymore children in her life. So she decided to help another couple. And she's just been amazing. Cheryl Tiegs Just as Pollock used the drip to meld process and product, Richter 'found' and used the smudge and the blur to ravish the eye, creating works of psychic and physical power. Jerry Saltz I don't understand why the accent you speak in has to indicate what level of intellect you have. Paloma Faith The Galapagos Islands provide a window on time. In a geologic sense, the islands are young, yet they appear ancient. Frans Lanting Everybody will make mistakes, and for some that mistake will rise to the level of being a crime. Kamala Harris If you're clear on what you believe, you have a great foundation to go make a market. Ginni Rometty The men have piled up in my past, have fallen...
