Walter, who had been in the lead all day, was the first to scramble up;

a native Alaskan, he is the first human being to set foot upon the top of Alaska's great mountain, and he had well earned the lifelong distinction. Hudson Stuck Love is of that excellent nature, that it is esteemed by the best of men, and accepted from the meanest persons; what then is the affection of a Father! John Pearson I wouldn't do nudity in films. For me, personally... To act with my clothes on is a performance; to act with my clothes off is a documentary. Julia Roberts All slang is metaphor, and all metaphor is poetry. Gilbert K. Chesterton The three ages of man: youth, middle age and 'my word you do look well'. June Whitfield The finest command of language is often shown by saying nothing. Roger Babson How I say it has as much of an impact on what people think of me as what I say. Frank Luntz

The whole idea of doing the Hollywood thing never even occurred to me. When you

grow up on the East coast, Hollywood seems like this fantasy land and you don't think that people can actually make a living there. David Steinberg I've experienced several different healing methodologies over the years - counseling, self-help seminars, and I've read a lot - but none of them will work unless you really want to heal. Lindsay Wagner The greatest weakness of most humans is their hesitancy to tell others how much they love them while they're alive. Orlando Aloysius Battista Fairest and best adorned is she Whose clothing is humility. James Montgomery I believe it is time for new leadership that is able to leave the '70s behind. Kim Campbell Like the British Constitution, she owes her success in practice to her inconsistencies in principle. Thomas Hardy How lucky Adam was. He knew when he said a good thing, nobody had said it before. Mark Twain

It's up to us, the people, to break immoral laws, and resist. As soon as

the leaders of a country lie to you, they have no authority over you. These maniacs have no authority over us. And they might be able to put our bodies in prison, but they can't put our spirits in prison. Cindy Sheehan I thought that in general we in the United States were too optimistic in believing that the Soviets might alter what had been for a long time, as a matter of fact for centuries, fundamental Russian policies in respect to the rest of the world. David K. E. Bruce Better to do something imperfectly than to do nothing perfectly. Robert H. Schuller The world is always ready to receive talent with open arms. Very often it does not know what to do with genius. Oliver Wendell Holmes, Sr. If someone as blessed as I am is not willing to clean out the barn, who will? Ross Perot Character is the result of a system of stereotyped principals. David Hume Fortune befriends the bold. Emily Dickinson

How do we get democracy at the international level? That's our problem. and it's essentially

the same problem people faced in the 18th Century when they tried to get democracy nationally. Now we need it internationally. Susan George When I get the record, all it will make me is the player with the most hits. I'm also the player with the most at bats and the most outs. I never said I was a greater player than Cobb. Pete Rose Everything that enlarges the sphere of human powers, that shows man he can do what he thought he could not do, is valuable. Samuel Johnson I never loved another person the way I loved myself. Mae West It's strange how parts come along, how life lives us, and what we get to do with the abilities that are given us. Michael Richards We never understand how little we need in this world until we know the loss of it. James M. Barrie Self-justification is a treacherous servant. Wellington Mara

One of the things I've had the advantage of, growing up and being close to

the top management of this company and other companies for most of my life, is seeing how CEOs start to believe in their own infallibility. And that really scares me. William Clay Ford, Jr. The media is absolutely essential to the functioning of a democracy. It's not our job to cozy up to power. We're supposed to be the check and balance on government. Amy Goodman The creative processes are so mysterious. Jimmy Webb The reason why worry kills more people than work is that more people worry than work. Robert Frost When you handle yourself, use your head; when you handle others, use your heart. Donna Reed A likely source for terrorists seeking to buy or steal nuclear materials is the former Soviet Union. Lee H. Hamilton Technique is everything and we play a contact sport. Troy Vincent

With a fresh start, I hope it'll work out good. I know the whole Fox

story and how he came over here and had a great year for them. I'm hoping that's what it'll be - fresh start, new faces, new team, new city. I'm looking forward to getting out there. Billy Koch The possibility of a scientific treatment of history means a wider experience, a greater maturity of practical reason, and finally a fuller realization of certain basic ideas regarding the nature of life and time. Muhammad Iqbal I've been solo since 1996, so I've been doing it for a while now. Sebastian Bach Human behavior in the midst of hardship caught my attention very early on, and my first stories were all pictures, no words. Wally Lamb The Minister of Transport issued this appeal to motorists: Can anyone give him a lift to Leicester? Eric Idle When the youth of America gets together, amazing things happen. Tom Ford A polite enemy is just as difficult to discredit, as a rude friend is to protect. Bryant H. McGill

Of course, there will always be those who look only at technique, who ask 'how',

while others of a more curious nature will ask 'why'. Personally, I have always preferred inspiration to information. Man Ray Sex is like washing your face - just something you do because you have to. Sex without love is absolutely ridiculous. Sex follows love, it never precedes it. Sophia Loren What we've gone through in the last several years has caused some people to question 'Can we trust Microsoft?' Steve Ballmer He who aspires to paradise should learn to deal with people with kindness. Abu Bakr There is too little courtship in the world. Vernon Lee The ancients recommended us to sacrifice to the Graces, but Milton sacrificed to the Devil. Voltaire If a man has common sense, he has all the sense there is. Sam Rayburn

Ignorant people see life as either existence or non-existence, but wise men see it beyond

both existence and non-existence to something that transcends them both; this is an observation of the Middle Way. Lucius Annaeus Seneca As dry leaves that before the wild hurricane fly, when they meet with an obstacle, mount to the sky. So up to the house-top the coursers they flew, with the sleigh full of toys, and St. Nicholas too. Clement Clarke Moore You can be a famous poisoner or a successful poisoner, but not both, and the same seems to apply to Great Train Robbers. Clive Anderson Only in spontaneity can we be who we truly are. Mahavishnu John McLaughlin I took courses at USC in film editing and art direction and photography when I was still in high school. Ray Harryhausen All great change in America begins at the dinner table. Ronald Reagan I always knew I was going to be a family man. Ricky Schroder

I think when you saw this year's playoffs, Miami and Detroit have a pretty fierce

rivalry now. Also, the Suns and San Antonio look like they're starting to develop something there. I look forward to seeing those rivalries continue and develop. John Starks You needn't tell me that a man who doesn't love oysters and asparagus and good wines has got a soul, or a stomach either. He's simply got the instinct for being unhappy highly developed. Hector Hugh Munro Liberalism is financed by the dividends from Conservatism. Craig Bruce A man has to be Joe McCarthy to be called ruthless. All a woman has to do is put you on hold. Marlo Thomas Advertising degrades the people it appeals to; it deprives them of their will to choose. Carrie Snow My family... always had the value of the family table and these cultural influences of growing up. Emeril Lagasse I don't like to take my clothes off. Demi Moore

Prior to Saving Private Ryan I never worked with men. I was always working with

some babe, and it was always about falling in love, and it just got turned around. I'm not looking for any particular kind of story. I wait until it comes across my desk. Tom Hanks I'm just working and having a good time and seeing what develops, which is so awesome, because you don't know what's going to happen, and I'm letting myself do that a lot more than I ever have. Kathleen Hanna Every human being, of whatever origin, of whatever station, deserves respect. We must each respect others even as we respect ourselves. U Thant It is the passion that is in a kiss that gives to it its sweetness; it is the affection in a kiss that sanctifies it. Christian Nestell Bovee What would be left of our tragedies if an insect were to present us his? Emile M. Cioran Let the Dean and Canons lay their heads together and the thing will be done. Sydney Smith There's a difference between solitude and loneliness. I can understand the concept of being a monk for ...

Indeed, a major source of objection to a free economy is precisely that it... gives

people what they want instead of what a particular group thinks they ought to want. Underlying most arguments against the free market is a lack of belief in freedom itself. Milton Friedman All, all is theft, all is unceasing and rigorous competition in nature; the desire to make off with the substance of others is the foremost - the most legitimate - passion nature has bred into us and, without doubt, the most agreeable one. Marquis de Sade Whoever controls the volume of money in any country is absolute master of all industry and commerce. James A. Garfield It is easy to write unthinking music. George Crumb History shows that there are no invincible armies. Joseph Stalin My job is to make sure we keep performing. Mats Sundin When there's that forgiveness present and compassion, it just helps you live so much easier. Craig T. Nelson

You can either read something many times in order to be assured that you got

it all, or else you can define your purpose and use techniques which will assure that you have met it and gotten what you need. E. F. Schumacher But the fact that some geniuses were laughed at does not imply that all who are laughed at are geniuses. They laughed at Columbus, they laughed at Fulton, they laughed at the Wright Brothers. But they also laughed at Bozo the Clown. Carl Sagan The human contribution is the essential ingredient. It is only in the giving of oneself to others that we truly live. Ethel Percy Andrus When I began playing the game, baseball was about as gentlemanly as a kick in the crotch. Ty Cobb The nature of our two main political parties has changed in the United States. Roger Mahony It is still color, it is not yet light. Pierre Bonnard I finally figured out the only reason to be alive is to enjoy it. Rita Mae Brown

I guess lyrically they're similar because they're talking about escaping the kind of misery that

likes company. 'The Last One Alive,' for me, is very simple. It's just about alienation, really, that causes anger. Jon Crosby Of course, all writers draw upon their personal experiences in describing day-to-day life and human relationships, but I tend to keep my own experiences largely separate from my stories. Jeffery Deaver When you love someone so much that you are in pain when you are apart it ends up being destructive. I never want to be in that place again. Sadie Frost Never do today what you can do tomorrow. Something may occur to make you regret your premature action. Aaron Burr I've always enjoyed playing live onstage. Juice Newton They told me I'd never probably see the front-line area. Jessica Lynch Exaggeration is truth that has lost its temper. Khalil Gibran

Looking ahead, I believe that the underlying importance of higher education, of science, of technology,

of research and scholarship to our quality of life, to the strength of our economy, to our security in many dimensions will continue to be the most important message. Charles Vest I'm taking one thing at a time. With the children and launching my solo career it would drive me to a nervous breakdown if I tried to organise a wedding on top of that. Natasha Hamilton Censorship ends in logical completeness when nobody is allowed to read any books except the books that nobody reads. George Bernard Shaw Man's heart away from nature becomes hard. Standing Bear Over the years, I've worked with just about everybody. Joe Cocker Interplay and interaction are the integral parts of music - they're as important as the notes. Mahavishnu John McLaughlin Stills belong in the lobby, not on the screen. William Wyler

At first, we couldn't be establishment, because we didn't have any money. We were guerrilla

marketers, and we still are, a little bit. But, as we became No. 1 in our industry, we've had to modify our culture and become a bit more planned. Phil Knight The author himself is the best judge of his own performance; none has so deeply meditated on the subject; none is so sincerely interested in the event. Edward Gibbon So the danger of conservative judicial activism has been averted for another year. Stay tuned. Michael Kinsley I look at ANWR (Artic National Wildlife Refuge) as a poison pill in the energy bill. Ben Nelson I don't study; I create. Viktor Korchnoi I wish to note that intellectual property theft by a government represents the very essence of organized crime. Howard Berman There are two sides to every question: my side and the wrong side. Oscar Levant

But I also wanted to give them an intelligent emotional journey, without having to suspend

reality - to be able to look at those characters and see reasons for the relationships and why what happens happens. Graeme Murphy Wherever there is one job on the verge of being lost, I will fight to save it. Wherever there is one company looking to grow in West Virginia, I will fight to make that growth a reality. Joe Manchin It is not of the essence of mathematics to be conversant with the ideas of number and quantity. George Boole The White House is giving George W. Bush intelligence briefings. You know, some of these jokes just write themselves. David Letterman Hollywood is what you make it; you have to choose company with care because you become what they are. Bonnie Hunt Life - how curious is that habit that makes us think it is not here, but elsewhere. V. S. Pritchett Sales are contingent upon the attitude of the salesman - not the attitude of the prospect. W. Clement Stone

The most important things are the hardest things to say. They are the things you

get ashamed of because words diminish your feelings - words shrink things that seem timeless when they are in your head to no more than living size when they are brought out. Stephen King I have to say when we talk about the treatment of these prisoners that I would guess that these prisoners wake up every morning thanking Allah that Saddam Hussein is not in charge of these prisons. James Inhofe Yesterday's just a memory, tomorrow is never what it's supposed to be. Bob Dylan New York has more hermits than will be found in all the forests, mountains and deserts of the United States. Simeon Strunsky Everytime we put a record out, we lose people that can't deal with the growth. Lars Ulrich What passes for woman's intuition is often nothing more than man's transparency. George Jean Nathan Truth disappears with the telling of it. Lawrence Durrell

I mean, certainly it's the single biggest event, I think, in terms of popular entertainment,

or art even, if you say that, of the 20th Century. It's been film. It's the 20th Century's real art form. Sydney Pollack The testimony and the documentary evidence produced by the Government demonstrate that the Bell System had violated the antitrust laws in a number of ways over a lengthy period of time. Harold H. Greene Guys are kind of retarded until they're about 30. Katherine Heigl Acting doesn't have to be threadbare misery all the time. Fiona Shaw The spirit of liberty is the spirit which is not too sure that it is right. Learned Hand The freedom to make a fortune on the stock exchange has been made to sound more alluring than freedom of speech. John Mortimer If you're passionate about your work, it makes the people around you want to be involved too. Wanda Sykes

We had an apartment on west side of Central Park. The rent was very reasonable.

We found out later that it belonged to a gangster called Legs Diamond and it was a front to his headquarters. It was fine. James Stewart I had no real education because I was in and out of schools so I decided that I would completely change my look, change my image, change my name and move to New York. Morgan Brittany Take from the philosopher the pleasure of being heard and his desire for knowledge ceases. Jean-Jacques Rousseau I'm always improving and I want to get better and never hit a plateau. I find it an amazing adventure. Nigel Kennedy Brevity is a great charm of eloquence. Marcus Tullius Cicero I just wrapped this movie called 'The Wedding Crashers' which was a pretty big break for me. Bradley Cooper Courage consists not in blindly overlooking danger, but in seeing it, and conquering it. Jean Paul

Follow the path of the unsafe, independent thinker. Expose your ideas to the dangers of

controversy. Speak your mind and fear less the label of 'crackpot' than the stigma of conformity. And on issues that seem important to you, stand up and be counted at any cost. Chauncey Depew Terrorism has once again shown it is prepared deliberately to stop at nothing in creating human victims. An end must be put to this. As never before, it is vital to unite forces of the entire world community against terror. Vladimir Putin I don't want to spend the rest of my life giving speeches. Colin Powell A Green Party candidate would be very different from a Democrat or Republican and should be heard. Peter Camejo The man that blushes is not quite a brute. Edward Young If we took Chaucer's writings at face value, we'd have to conclude he was a complete drip. John Hutton You can accomplish by kindness what you cannot by force. Publilius Syrus

I'm in that comfortable niche where I'm not that famous and sometimes people do need

to put a barrier between them and their followers. When you're real famous you need to do that but I'm not that famous so I don't need that kind of barrier. Tony Levin Give me a mystery - just a plain and simple one - a mystery which is diffidence and silence, a slim little bare-foot mystery: give me a mystery - just one! Yevgeny Yevtushenko The optimum committee has no members. Norman Ralph Augustine Reality is that which, when you stop believing in it, doesn't go away. Philip K. Dick The point is to balance on the edge between musicality and content. Rick Moody The important thing is not to stop questioning. Curiosity has its own reason for existing. Albert Einstein The power of the white world is threatened whenever a black man refuses to accept the white world's definitions. James A. Baldwin

When you see something that is technically sweet, you go ahead and do it and

you argue about what to do about it only after you have had your technical success. That is the way it was with the atomic bomb. J. Robert Oppenheimer The truest help we can render an afflicted man is not to take his burden from him, but to call out his best energy, that he may be able to bear the burden. Phillips Brooks At Harvard I majored in chemistry with a strong inclination toward math. William Standish Knowles Eating words has never given me indigestion. Winston Churchill Don't have good ideas if you aren't willing to be responsible for them. Alan Perlis Love doesn't make the world go 'round. Love is what makes the ride worthwhile. Franklin P. Jones An excessive knowledge of Marxism is a sign of a misspent youth. John McCarthy

I would guess that the decision to create a small special purpose language or use

an existing general purpose language is one of the toughest decisions that anyone facing the need for a new language must make. Guido van Rossum First of all there is always that artistic challenge of creating something. Or the particular experience to take slum life in that period and make something out of it in the form of a book. And then I felt some kind of responsibility to my family. Frank McCourt A leader is best when people barely know he exists, when his work is done, his aim fulfilled, they will say: we did it ourselves. Lao Tzu Latin music has many international influences - pop, rock, country, Brazilian sounds, and alternative styles. Ednita Nazario I used to do this as a kid. And now they're paying me for it, which is cool. William Kempe Death is the sound of distant thunder at a picnic. W. H. Auden If we fear the unknown then surely we fear ourselves. Bryant H. McGill

It was a wonderful experience to play in the NFL, and I have no regrets.

I truly will miss playing for the Lions. I consider the Lions' players, coaches, staff, management and fans my family. I leave on good terms with everyone in the organization. Barry Sanders The thing I like about my body is that it's strong. I can move furniture around my apartment. I can ride my horse... I can play basketball. It's a well functioning machine. Cindy Crawford Country people give me more than writers, and country places than towns. Leonard Alfred George Strong In politics, a lie unanswered becomes truth within 24 hours. Willie Brown I've learned lately that no one is going to hand me a permission slip and tell me to take time out for me. Wynonna Judd If this whole acting thing doesn't work out, I'll just get a talk show. Rachael Leigh My business is hurting people. Sugar Ray Robinson

I have always maintained a high level of fitness, and that is why I am

still able to handle the demands of playing in the Premiership. People have always commented on my fitness, and it's something I pride myself on. Richard Gough Some have argued that confronting the threat from Iraq could detract from the war against terror. To the contrary, confronting the threat posed by Iraq is crucial to winning the war on terror. George W. Bush Change alone is unchanging. Heraclitus My boss told me to get my butt in gear. I told him I was shiftless. Jay London Talking isn't doing. It is a kind of good deed to say well; and yet words are not deeds. William Shakespeare Even if you fall on your face, you're still moving forward. Victor Kiam Why does man kill? He kills for food. And not only food: frequently there must be a beverage. Woody Allen

Equal and united people can above all become a part of the civilization toward which

mankind is moving. If we cannot be at the head of the column leading to such a civilization, there is certainly no need for us to be at is tail. Slobodan Milosevic The Western world, the free world, loses what it cherishes most, and that is freedom and liberty we've seen for a couple of hundred years in this grand experiment that we call democracy. Tommy Franks You can't put a limit on anything. The more you dream, the farther you get. Michael Phelps The sports world is an echo chamber. All it takes is one quote from a general manager and a thousand sports columns bloom. Michael Lewis The first thing that strikes a visitor to Paris is a taxi. Fred Allen Because thou must not dream, thou need not despair. Matthew Arnold Whoever is winning at the moment will always seem to be invincible. George Orwell

I didn't want to be a writer, but I became one. And now I have

many readers, in many countries. I think that's a miracle. So I think I have to be humble regarding this ability. I'm proud of it and I enjoy it, and it is strange to say it this way, but I respect it. Haruki Murakami We always feel pretty creative as far as writing songs. We write them together; we just get in a room, or on occasion in Flea's garage. We just sort of improvise, like jazz musicians. Chad Smith Any place that anyone can learn something useful from someone with experience is an educational institution. Al Capp Give me some scratching, diving, hungry ballplayers who come to kill you. Leo Durocher I don't know what effect these men will have upon the enemy, but, by God, they frighten me. Arthur Wellesley Mediocre minds usually dismiss anything which reaches beyond their own understanding. Francois de La Rochefoucauld I'm not a real movie star. I've still got the same wife I started out with twenty-eight years ago. Will Rogers

I'm not cynical about marriage or romance. I enjoyed being married. And although being single

was fun for a while, there was always the risk of dating someone who'd owned a lunch box with my picture on it. Shaun Cassidy The international community is pushing things forward in Bosnia... but it is doing it at expense of the Muslim people. I feel it as an injustice, these are the things that I cannot live with. Alija Izetbegovic I just admire everybody and sit in awe and watch them. Fred Willard No matter what accomplishments you make, somebody helped you. Althea Gibson What we call 'morals' is simply blind obedience to words of command. Havelock Ellis Every time I win a tournament I have to think that there is something wrong with modern chess. Viktor Korchnoi America has a relationship with Bobby and Whitney. Jenifer Lewis

Of course, it's hard to support full-time programmers, so we do get funds from a

set of companies that are interested in the health of the Mozilla project and so are willing to support the people working for the Foundation as well. Mitchell Baker We continue to recognize the greater ability of some to earn more than others. But we do assert that the ambition of the individual to obtain for him a proper security is an ambition to be preferred to the appetite for great wealth and great power. Franklin D. Roosevelt I was taught from a young age that many people would treat me as a second-class citizen because I was African-American and because I was female. Queen Latifah Well, I don't know as I want a lawyer to tell me what I cannot do. I hire him to tell how to do what I want to do. J. P. Morgan It's only through listening that you learn, and I never want to stop learning. Drew Barrymore We think that we suffer from ingratitude, while in reality we suffer from self-love. Walter Savage Landor There is no limit to the power of loving. John Mo...

Art is only a means to life, to the life more abundant. It is not

in itself the life more abundant. It merely points the way, something which is overlooked not only by the public, but very often by the artist himself. In becoming an end it defeats itself. Henry Miller For the Christian, heaven is where Jesus is. We do not need to speculate on what heaven will be like. It is enough to know that we will be for ever with Him. William Barclay I may have been lucky with some sort of intuition, but I believe in training a great deal. David Selby Do not let your grand ambitions stand in the way of small but meaningful accomplishments. Bryant H. McGill I don't sing for anybody. I wouldn't sing for the Queen dear. Joan Sutherland Anybody can cut prices, but it takes brains to produce a better article. Ross Perot It was a splendid summer morning and it seemed as if nothing could go wrong. John Cheever

The new rage is to say that the government is the cause of all our

problems, and if only we had no government, we'd have no problems. I can tell you, that contradicts evidence, history, and common sense. William J. Clinton We can guess that the unacceptable conduct of the soldiers at Abu Ghraib resulted in part from the dangerous state of affairs on the ground in a theater of war. John Yoo Sex? Unfortunately, as you get older - and I shouldn't admit this - there are other things that become more important in your daily life. Alex Trebek The faith of the church must be tried by God's word, and not God's word by the church; neither yet my faith. Jane Grey There was a time when the music fell silent. Both within me and around me. Agnetha Faltskog Whatever starts in California unfortunately has an inclination to spread. Jimmy Carter I play the harmonica. The only way I can play is if I get my car going really fast, and stick it out the window. Steven Wright

To be awarded a prize which takes its name from an illustrious Dutchman who at

the same time was a great citizen of Europe and through his writings did so much to open up our modern world of sensibility and thought is indeed a most signal honour. John G. D. Clark I'm one who demands a lot from people. I'm not afraid to look at alternative ways in city government. That's what I've done in my two years and will continue to do in the next four. Richard M. Daley Never regret anything you have done with a sincere affection; nothing is lost that is born of the heart. Basil Rathbone The very essence of leadership is that you have to have vision. You can't blow an uncertain trumpet. Theodore Hesburgh It's motive alone which gives character to the actions of men. Jean de la Bruyere Each book will have a lot of cliffhangers, because I like that. Kevin J. Anderson The decision is 'trust fund' versus 'no more Medicaid' - and that shouldn't be a tough decision. Haley Barbour

If she has a good, strong, reliable father image, which is hard to find these

days, that will be her image of men, probably for the rest of her life. She'll look for a husband who embodies those qualities. Robert Johnson One truth stands firm. All that happens in world history rests on something spiritual. If the spiritual is strong, it creates world history. If it is weak, it suffers world history. Albert Schweitzer We've had some tough times, but we've hung in there. Paul Allen Yes, I know I've played these women, but I'm not really conniving at all. Annette Bening The Hulk, that was the experience of my life, so far. Josh Lucas When you're eight years old nothing is your business. Lenny Bruce One must be very particular about telling the truth. Through truth one can realize God. Ramakrishna

I think I've grown a lot in the last few years, and I needed to

express myself as an artist on this. It wasn't necessarily about going in and making an album chocked full of hit singles... there were a lot of things I did out of the joy and the want to do it. Terri Clark I understand by this passion the union of desire, friendship, and tenderness, which is inflamed by a single female, which prefers her to the rest of her sex, and which seeks her possession as the supreme or the sole happiness of our being. Edward Gibbon The hardest times for me were not when people challenged what I said, but when I felt my voice was not heard. Carol Gilligan No violent extreme endures. Thomas Carlyle We must not tolerate oppressive government or industrial oligarchy in the form of monopolies and cartels. Henry A. Wallace I'm open to anything. I think everyone should enjoy every moment that they experience. Dominique Swain The role of a comedian is to make the audience laugh, at a minimum of once every fifteen seconds. Lenny Bruce

Rather than doing the kind of fact-checking that normally goes with a story, you ran

with certain stories for not wanting to get beat. There's a pressure that exists in your profession. I would be surprised in any honest exchange that you say that doesn't exist. Rahm Emanuel This is not a matter of weapons. We are hopeful for God's help. The real matter is the extinction of America. And, God willing, it will fall to the ground. Mohammed Omar The Constitution is a document that should only be amended with great caution. Carl Levin If the workers took a notion they could stop all speeding trains; every ship upon the ocean they can tie with mighty chains. Joe Hill I remember the great atmosphere and the great stadium. Carl Zeiss Part of the joy of dancing is conversation. Trouble is, some men can't talk and dance at the same time. Ginger Rogers We must walk consciously only part way toward our goal, and then leap in the dark to our success. Henry David Thoreau

Because of the fashion, the young people don't have any access to the history of

music, unless people like me revive it. There are very few people to revive it, because you can't earn any money doing it. Bill Wyman You accept failure as a possible outcome of some of the experiments. If you don't get failures, you're not pushing hard enough on the objectives. John Poindexter Either move or be moved. Ezra Pound I'm the worst person to ask about how to get noticed. It took me 25 years. Dirk Benedict If you act like you know what you're going, you can do anything you want - except neurosurgery. Sharon Stone We participate in a tragedy; at a comedy we only look. Aldous Huxley The dialogue of architecture has been centered too long around the idea of truth. Michael Graves

The American Army has supplied, assigned a very capable man to me, to help me,

bring me to military justice. I don't think I need no civilians. All I want to do is clear myself with the American Army. Robert Jenkins I firmly believe that all human beings have access to extraordinary energies and powers. Judging from accounts of mystical experience, heightened creativity, or exceptional performance by athletes and artists, we harbor a greater life than we know. Jean Houston My dear Excellency! I have not gone to war to collect cheese and eggs, but for another purpose. Manfred von Richthofen I am always living very good moments. Jose Carreras We live under a government of men and morning newspapers. Wendell Phillips We gain our ends only with the laws of nature; we control her only by understanding her laws. Jacob Bronowski I try to be the best man I can for the day. Jim Caviezel

We've got to help small businesses because they are the backbone of our economy. We've

got to increase opportunities for everyone and we can do that by helping women and minority-owned businesses. Rob Simmons I am calling attention just to the main points of these tremendously important matters, which can be understood better by pious meditation than explained by human language. Martin Chemnitz In a very real sense, it will not be one man going to the moon it will be an entire nation. For all of us must work to put him there. John F. Kennedy Human beings do not eat nutrients, they eat food. Mary Catherine Bateson None of the European girls, including Anita Ekberg, has anything not found on American girls as well. Cleo Moore I think I learned a lot from reading in general - even from reading badly written books. Margaret Haddix Ambivalence about family responsibilities has a long history in the corporate world. Rosabeth Moss Kanter

We've suffered a war, and one thing we know: Whenever our nation's faced war, whether

it was in the 1980s when we were winning the Cold War or in the 1940s during World War II, the responsible thing to do has been to borrow money to win the war. Ken Mehlman Well, if you look back, in almost two and a half years, the biggest change probably was in late 2000 when we decided to totally change the CA business model. Sanjay Kumar Doing a thing well is often a waste of time. Robert Byrne The best portraits are those in which there is a slight mixture of caricature. Thomas Babington Macaulay A beautiful sunset that was mistaken for a dawn. Claude Debussy If it wasn't for the devil, we wouldn't be here, would we? Brad Dourif If the speaker won't boil it down, the audience must sweat it out. Raymond Duncan

If you send up a weather vane or put your thumb up in the air

every time you want to do something different, to find out what people are going to think about it, you're going to limit yourself. That's a very strange way to live. Jessye Norman We have already done so much that people call dynamics. Look at the bumblebee being unaware of scientific truths, goes ahead and flies anyway. If it is possible, we will do it here. Tom Hopkins When we are motivated by goals that have deep meaning, by dreams that need completion, by pure love that needs expressing, then we truly live. Greg Anderson I try to be the same person I was yesterday. Colin Powell When good news about the market hits the front page of the New York Times, sell. Bernard Baruch In America, it is sport that is the opiate of the masses. Russell Baker I used to be a fighter and I'm used to taking weight off. Burt Young

We're also fairly stubborn, I think, fairly independent. We have our share of difficulties with

our federal government, although I've tried to as I am here encourage a better way of discussing those problems. Dan Miller Personally, I don't like the term 'success.' It's too arbitrary and too relative a thing. It's usually someone else's definition, not yours. Ichiro Suzuki I can become very emotional about math, although I'm not that good at it. Elizabeth Moon If you do not tell the truth about yourself you cannot tell it about other people. Virginia Woolf There are relatively few science fiction or fantasy books with the main character being an old person. Elizabeth Moon We only part to meet again. John Gay You know what they say about Chicago. If you don't like the weather, wait fifteen minutes. Ralph Kiner

I try to play characters who are different from myself, so I feel like this

character is someone who is really different. I actually think that if I did what he did in this movie, I would get a restraining order put against me. Ryan Gosling We of the sinking middle class may sink without further struggles into the working class where we belong, and probably when we get there it will not be so dreadful as we feared, for, after all, we have nothing to lose. George Orwell So, we, as human beings, live in a very imprecise world. A world where our perceptions of reality are far more important than actual reality. Daniel Keys Moran If we had 3 million exhibitionists and only one voyeur, nobody could make any money. Albert Brooks You've got to forget about this civilian. Whenever you drop bombs, you're going to hit civilians. Barry Goldwater Do anything rather than give yourself to reverie. William Ellery Channing Losing is no disgrace if you've given your best. Jim Palmer

They wanted me to do Scream 2, and I hate talking about movies I turned

down, because it sounds judgmental. There's nothing wrong with horror movies. I enjoy watching them. The main reason I turn a part down is if I think I won't be good. Casey Affleck All the adversity I've had in my life, all my troubles and obstacles, have strengthened me... You may not realize it when it happens, but a kick in the teeth may be the best thing in the world for you. Walt Disney No one's ever happy with their position in Hollywood. You hear that from people you'd never dream would complain. Yasmine Bleeth Well, I always had a chauffer, because I have never driven a car in my life. I still can't drive. Bud Abbott Mornin' ladies, my goodness don't you look happy. Must be cuttin' somebody up pretty good. Andy Griffith I had slumps that lasted into the winter. Bob Uecker When we seek to discover the best in others, we somehow bring out the best in ourselves. William Arthur Ward

I had the good fortune of speaking with Orson Wells many decades ago and he

said 'Success is primarily luck anyway.' And I have been very lucky. Of course, Orson Wells was enormously talented and brilliant - so who am I to argue with him! George Kennedy The next few months are critical to Pakistan's future direction as a democratic state committed to promoting peace, fighting terrorism and working for social justice. Benazir Bhutto Voters want to know that elections will be conducted fairly and accurately. Bill Nelson We never thought the show would last this long. Michael Shanks Language is the mother of thought, not its handmaiden. Karl Kraus Work as if you were to live a hundred years. Pray as if you were to die tomorrow. Benjamin Franklin Whatever there be of progress in life comes not through adaptation but through daring. Henry Miller

Afraid no, I wasn't afraid but it was an unusual thing, it was an unusual

feeling. It was an unusual atmosphere for me having grown up in this country and, and, and never seeing anything like that. Ralph Boston Increasingly, stars are recruited from the ranks of professional models, with the result that today's starlets are better dressed and better groomed than ever before, though it is doubtful if they are better actresses. Rita Hayworth He knows so little and knows it so fluently. Ellen Glasgow Strong people are made by opposition like kites that go up against the wind. Frank Harris Things done well and with a care, exempt themselves from fear. William Shakespeare To whom it may concern: It is springtime. It is late afternoon. Kurt Vonnegut If more people were actively engaged in advocating their positions I think we'd have a better society. Jeb Bush

What's natural and right is to go with the energy of how it all has

to work together. What's natural and right is interconnectedness, not individualism. What is natural and right is respect for the system, not killing the system. What's natural and right is love. Susan Powter Leadership is about doing what you know is right - even when a growing din of voices around you is trying to convince you to accept what you know to be wrong. Bob Ehrlich Housekeeping ain't no joke. Louisa May Alcott Whatever you have, spend less. William Samuel Johnson It is not sufficient to see and to know the beauty of a work. We must feel and be affected by it. Voltaire Not one has shown an iota of fear of death. They want to end this agony. Jack Kevorkian We can sometimes love what we do not understand, but it is impossible completely to understand what we do not love. Anna Jameson

If work and leisure are soon to be subordinated to this one utopian principle -

absolute busyness - then utopia and melancholy will come to coincide: an age without conflict will dawn, perpetually busy - and without consciousness. Gunter Grass The biggest problem in South Africa is that we have a disrupted timeline. Historically, politically, spiritually, economically, in people's minds, in people's heads. Abdullah Ibrahim We should realize in a vivid and revolutionary sense that we are not in our bodies but our bodies are in us. Ruth St. Denis I've been through it all, baby, I'm mother courage. Elizabeth Taylor I don't compare 'em, I just catch 'em. Willie Mays Useless laws weaken the necessary laws. Charles de Montesquieu A slave is one who waits for someone to come and free him. Ezra Pound

I tell young people to prepare themselves as best they can for a world that

grows more challenging every day-get the best education they can, and couple that education with real-life experience in social justice work. Julian Bond There is no room for legal hair-splitting when it comes to the humane treatment of detainees - not in a nation founded on the rule of law and respect for human rights.

Luciano Pavarotti Moral science is better occupied when treating of friendship than of justice. Thomas Aquinas

The myths connected with individual sanctuaries and ceremonies were merely part of the apparatus of

the worship; they served to excite the fancy and sustain the interest of the worshipper... no one cared what he believed about its origin. William Robertson Smith The principles behind explaining and educating the product or the elected official is similar, even though the actual execution of it is very, very different.

Ahmed Best Find enough clever things to say, and you're a Prime Minister; write them down and you're a Shakespeare. George Bernard Shaw

I have designed my style pantomimes as white ink drawings on black backgrounds, so that

man's destiny appears as a thread lost in an endless labyrinth. I have tried to shed some gleams of light on the shadow of man startled by his anguish. Marcel Marceau In order to be an image of God, the spirit must turn to what is eternal, hold it in spirit, keep it in memory, and by loving it, embrace it in the will.

Lord Acton Frequent and loud laughter is the characteristic of folly and ill manners. Philip Stanhope, 4th Earl of Chesterfield

To accuse others for one's own misfortunes is a sign of want of education. To

accuse oneself shows that one's education has begun. To accuse neither oneself nor others shows that one's education is complete. Epictetus Everyone, Republican or otherwise has their own particular part to play. No part is too great or too small, no one is too old or too young to do something. Bobby Sands And Louis Freeh was a completely dysfunctional FBI Director, who was actually waging his own private war against the Clinton Administration.

Matthew Broderick The way taxes are, you might as well marry for love. Joe E. Lewis Actions are the seed of fate deeds grow into destiny. Harry S Truman

Dean had just come from seeing his lawyer. That was the first time that I

found out that he had consulted a lawyer. He wanted to tell me what he thought was going on, but he was writing it down as if my house was bugged. He acted like everything was bugged. Fred F. Fielding Study how water flows in a valley stream, smoothly and freely between the rocks. Also learn from holy books and wise people. Everything - even mountains, rivers, plants and trees - should be your teacher. Morihei Ueshiba The poor are prevented from thinking by the discipline of others, the rich by their own. Theodor Adorno I shall soon be six-and-twenty. Is there anything in the future that can possibly console us for not being always twenty-five?

Joichi Ito I no doubt deserved my enemies, but I don't believe I deserved my friends. Walt Whitman The middle of the road is for yellow lines and dead armadillos. Jim Hightower

Your decision to be, have and do something out of ordinary entails facing difficulties that

are out of the ordinary as well. Sometimes your greatest asset is simply your ability to stay with it longer than anyone else. Brian Tracy In all parts of the Old World, as well as of the New, it was evident that Columbus had kindled a fire in every mariner's heart. That fire was the harbinger of a new era, for it was not to be extinguished. Charles Kendall Adams He has found his style, when he cannot do otherwise. Paul Klee In a dark time, the eye begins to see. Cavett Robert This invisibility, however, means that the opportunities for creative research are infinite. Barbara Smith I was too shy to go and meet Princess Diana. John Deacon Home interprets heaven. Home is heaven for beginners. Charles Henry Parkhurst

He actually came up to me and we started speaking. And from that conversation we

were able to come to a meeting of the minds and it seemed as if it was clear to me that he wanted to do similar things to what I wanted to do. Maurice Ashley I'm always in that mode - whenever I have a little free time, I'm always recording songs, writing, whatever I gotta do. It's like my job is my vacation.

Reinhold Niebuhr Faces that have charmed us the most escape us the soonest. Walter Scott

Classical musicians do this all the time. They want perfection. So they piece things together.

Eight bars of this and six bars of that. Glenn Gould said that with a recording he wanted to make perfect versions of pieces. John Abercrombie The new spirituality will also base itself on a third very large spiritual understanding, which is that life is eternal. Most religious people claim to believe that, but very few people actually live as if that were true. Neale Donald Walsch Loud peace propaganda makes war seem imminent. D. H. Lawrence No intelligent idea can gain general acceptance unless some stupidity is mixed in with it. Fernando Pessoa Transforming a line like that makes it into a belly laugh instead of a laugh against us. Terence Young A movie camera is like having someone you have a crush on watching you from afar - you pretend it's not there. Tom Stoppard Housework can't kill you, but why take a chance? Phyllis Diller

Our armed forces will fight for peace in Iraq, a peace built on more secure

foundations than are found today in the Middle East. Even more important, they will fight for two human conditions of even greater value than peace: liberty and justice. John McCain I spent a few years here in Memphis, in the late '70s and early '80s, where I was studying a lot of country blues players and their styles. So it seems like every record I'll do, I will appropriate these blues styles that I remember. Alex Chilton A few great minds are enough to endow humanity with monstrous power, but a few great hearts are not enough to make us worthy of using it. Jean Rostand The surest sign of age is loneliness. Annie Dillard Take all the fools out of this world and there wouldn't be any fun living in it, or profit.

Thomas Huxley

Even though we didn't actually record it as the Move I had already written a

song called 'Dear Elaine', which I subsequently put on the Boulders album. I thought at the time that was probably the best song I'd written. Roy Wood Had I been in Toronto, I would certainly have been killed in this attack. In the room where I normally sleep, the flames and the smoke and the soot is such that the gases would have killed me. Ernst Zundel Disability is a matter of perception. If you can do just one thing well, you're needed by someone. Martina Navratilova The test of a real comedian is whether you laugh at him before he opens his mouth. George Jean Nathan I mean, look, I love movies, not just the ones I make... In fact, I don't like the movies I make very much. Alexander Payne Some fellows get credit for being conservative when they are only stupid. Kin Hubbard The way to catch a knuckleball is to wait until it stops rolling and then pick it up. Bob Uecker

If all mankind were to disappear, the world would regenerate back to the rich state

of equilibrium that existed ten thousand years ago. If insects were to vanish, the environment would collapse into chaos. E. O. Wilson In the relations of a weak Government and a rebellious people there comes a time when every act of the authorities exasperates the masses, and every refusal to act excites their contempt.

Frederick William Robertson America, thou half-brother of the world; with something good and bad of every land. Philip James Bailey Travel is glamorous only in retrospect. Paul Theroux

No one's going to be able to operate without a grounding in the basic sciences.

Language would be helpful, although English is becoming increasingly international. And travel. You have to have a global attitude. Rupert Murdoch As with sound, images are subjective. You and I may not see the same color red as red, but we will probably agree that the image on the screen is a digital image or film image, based on contrast, bit depth, and refresh rate. John Dykstra Some people are desperately looking for scapegoats, they just don't want to see the truth! Jonathan Davis A building has integrity just like a man. And just as seldom. Ayn Rand Johnny Cash has always been larger than life. Kris Kristofferson Who's not sat tense before his own heart's curtain. James Russell Lowell Originality is the essence of true scholarship. Creativity is the soul of the true scholar. Nnamdi Azikiwe

I want them to come away with discovering the music inside them. And not thinking

about themselves as jazz musicians, but thinking about themselves as good human beings, striving to be a great person and maybe they'll become a great musician. Charlie Haden People crushed by laws, have no hope but to evade power. If the laws are their enemies, they will be enemies to the law; and those who have most to hope and nothing to lose will always be dangerous. Edmund Burke You can't start worrying about what's going to happen. You get spastic enough worrying about what's happening now. Lauren Bacall I can make them voting machines sing Home Sweet Home. Earl Long An Editor becomes kind of your mother. You expect love and encouragement from an Editor. Jackie Kennedy After a semester or so, my infatuation with computers burnt out as quickly as it had begun. Eric Allin Cornell Litigation is the pursuit of practical ends, not a game of chess. Felix Frankfurter

Two nations between whom there is no intercourse and no sympathy; who are as ignorant

of each other's habits, thoughts, and feelings, as if they were dwellers in different zones, or inhabitants of different planets. The rich and the poor. Benjamin Disraeli What we call creative work, ought not to be called work at all, because it isn't. I imagine that Thomas Edison never did a day's work in his last fifty years.

Jim Sullivan Most one run games are lost, not won. Gene Mauch The true sign of intelligence is not knowledge but imagination. Albert Einstein

me and I find important. It was in the 10 years of the MacArthur grant that I began working on my first book... and I began putting more work into environmental history. Jared Diamond I believe God is managing affairs and that He doesn't need any advice from me. With God in charge, I believe everything will work out for the best in the end.

Jawaharlal Nehru What is to give light must endure burning. Anton Wildgans

I am rediscovering the whole sexual dimension of life at the age of 86, really.

And that also means discovering the feminine. So the whole of this dimension, which I had been seeking for a very long time, is now sort of opening itself up to me. Bede Griffiths I prefer a man who will burn the flag and then wrap himself in the Constitution to a man who will burn the Constitution and then wrap himself in the flag.

Douglas Adams Dallas was a Black and White society at that time; it didn't have the diversity it has now. Eddie Bernice Johnson There are people who can do all fine and heroic things but one - keep from telling their happiness to the unhappy. Mark Twain After that, I specifically started writing lyrics. I would like sweat and think and get it all together. Jim Capaldi I just have to relax before each shot, and let it happen knowing that I've done it a million times before. Jennifer Wyatt

It is ironic that the United States should have been founded by intellectuals, for throughout

most of our political history, the intellectual has been for the most part either an outsider, a servant or a scapegoat. Richard Hofstadter Operation Northern Star with Canada has made significant progress in battling meth from the north, and we are engaged in numerous training opportunities in Mexico to help curb the problem from the south. Greg Walden If I like myself at this weight, then this is what I'm going to be. I don't have an eating disorder. Courteney Cox I also work with the spirituality of people. Della Reese For all who love freedom and peace, the world without Saddam Hussein's regime is a better and safer place. George W. Bush The only discipline that lasts is self-discipline. Bum Phillips Onstage I'm the happiest person in the world. Britney Spears

To me, its seems necessary to rediscover - and the energy to do so exists

- that even the political and economic spheres need moral responsibility, a responsibility that is born in man's heart and, in the end, has to do with the presence or absence of God. Pope Benedict XVI Learn about the world, the way it works, any kind of science and anthropology, it's really an interesting place we live in. Evolution is a really fantastic idea, even more than the idea of God I think. Randy Newman Life is full and overflowing with the new. But it is necessary to empty out the old to make room for the new to enter. Eileen Caddy In the maxim of the past you cannot go anywhere.

Margaret Smith Wisdom is not attained by years, but by ability. Plautus

each day to the fullest and to try and honor God and be an encouragement to others. What the future holds is firmly in God's hands, and I am very happy about that!

Jules Renard The world is getting to be such a dangerous place, a man is lucky to get out of it alive. W. C. Fields

The Twist succeeded, as politics, religion and law could never do, in writing in the heart and soul what the Supreme Court could only write on the books.

Heinlein

I jumped off the wheel of fortune because I wanted to simplify things. Now I've

fulfilled my obligations to myself by making my new record. I'd like it to sell millions of copies, but my self - worth is not based on chart positions. Roland Gift We're in this period where we're getting good data rates. I would say we're getting data rates that are like the data rates we got when we launched RealAudio in 1995. Rob Glaser Nature is an infinite sphere of which the center is everywhere and the circumference nowhere. Blaise Pascal A journey of four hundred and thirty miles can be made in any part of the United States, but in Turkey it takes as many days. Ellsworth Huntington I shook hands with a friendly Arab. I still have my right arm to prove it. Spike Milligan Nothing is so strongly fortified that it cannot be taken by money. Marcus Tullius Cicero Do nothing which is of no use. Miyamoto Musashi

The Washington black community was able to succeed beyond his wildest dreams. I mean, we

had our own newspapers, our own restaurants, our own theaters, our own small shops, our own clubs, our own Masonic lodges. Ed Smith Well, isn't Bohemia a place where everyone is as good as everyone else - and must not a waiter be a little less than a waiter to be a good Bohemian? Djuna Barnes I hope it goes beyond meeting with them to a willingness to listen and compromise on issues. Dennis Moore Country music is three chords and the truth. Harlan Howard My driving force is spirituality. Debra Wilson I would rather live and love where death is king than have eternal life where love is not. Robert Green Ingersoll When people complain of life, it is almost always because they have asked impossible things of it. Ernest Renan

Then, of course, there are those sad occasions when a poet or a writer has

not grown, and one has to let them go because they're just not making headway. But we have a very clear personal relationship with the authors.

Luigi Pirandello It is the gossip columnist's business to write about what is none of his business. Louis Kronenberger A sheltered life can be a daring life as well. For all serious daring starts from within. Eudora Welty There's huge, massive mother ships going up to the Yukon. They've been filmed and are on video. Dan Aykroyd

Real equality is immensely difficult to achieve, it needs continual revision and monitoring of distributions.

And it does not provide buffers between members, so they are continually colliding or frustrating each other. Mary Douglas I really liked them, not just Syd, but all of them. Roger was very important, I thought, his contribution. And so was Rick's organ playing. It was a good band. It became something else completely, obviously. Robert Wyatt I was terrified of being a teacher. To stand in front of a classroom, the responsibility is boggling. Imagine! Standing in front of people! John Glover Loss and possession, death and life are one, There falls no shadow where there shines no sun. Hilaire Belloc The spirit of jazz is the spirit of openness. Herbie Hancock To heal from the inside out is the key. Wynonna Judd Nothing is more fearful than imagination without taste. Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

Well, I don't throw things. This particular night I brought one from the floor so

to speak, and he ended up getting a cut over his head, and the police came, took him to another side of the hotel, and that was like September 6, 1981. Tanya Tucker And I'm comfortable being who I am, so I think a lot of people who take over from a founder worry about how they compare to the founder; I worry about doing the best I can. Sanjay Kumar Vegetables are interesting but lack a sense of purpose when unaccompanied by a good cut of meat. Fran Lebowitz I was a backstage kid. I was in the wings looking out. Joely Fisher It seems like once people grow up, they have no idea what's cool. Bill Watterson The world may believe as it pleases. Cole Younger Interleaf is based on the formatting process. Bill Joy

I can think of films that I'm producing right now that are extremely hard-hitting, graphic

films, that nobody necessarily wants to see, graphic in terms of violence, of adult content and racial and historical subject matter. Aaron Eckhart I would like to do a part that would stretch me. In America it seems to me that you just take your clothes off and that helps, but I wouldn't want to do that.

Mackenzie Astin

By asking a novel question that you don't know the answer to, you discover whether

you can formulate a way of finding the answer, and you stretch your own mind, and very often you learn something new. Walter Gilbert If I had my choice, I'd pick a song that tells a story every time. There is a great deal of pleasure in doing the vocal on a number that you can put feeling into. Vaughn Monroe The human's place in the universe will be set in the scheme of evolution, the product of our biological inheritance. Walter Gilbert Biographies are but the clothes and buttons of the man. The biography of the man himself cannot be written. Mark Twain Obviously crime pays, or there'd be no crime. G.

Tennessee Williams We've thrown out Saddam and Saddam, dead or alive, is finished in Iraq. Paul Bremer

I was always playing the Hammond Organ back to front even during the days of

the Nice, going back to 1968. Really what I was doing there, was choosing notes at random and trying to make some sense of them, improvising back to front.

I will not do a role that I don't think I can do, that I'm

not interested in, where there's no humanity, that doesn't have any kind of handle for me at all because I know I'll just stink the joint up. Ron Perlman As an actor, you may do things that aren't politically correct. Unless you're an actor who only does things for political reasons. I believe if we don't do the good, bad, and the ugly, we're not going to progress. Rosie Perez You are never too old to set another goal or to dream a new dream. Les Brown How small regard is had to the oath of God by men professing the name of God. George Gillespie What we can do for another is the test of powers; what we can suffer is the test of love. Brooke Foss Westcott Nobody is bored when he is trying to make something that is beautiful, or to discover something that is true. William Ralph Inge He sliced the ball when he had it on a plate. Ron Atkinson

When my opera Plump Jack was performed in 1989, my first piano teacher sent me

something that I'd composed when I was four. I remember I played it, and it still sounded like me. I'm the same composer I was then.

McLean There is no meaning to life except the meaning man gives his life by the unfolding of his powers. Erich Fromm

There are words that work, that are meant to explain and educate on policies that

work, on products that work, on services that work. I'm not going to ever try to sell a lemon. I don't do that. Frank Luntz We'll engage in pretty extreme violence in the world but, you know, the one thing that comes to humans as easily as eating or breathing or sleeping, is sex. Mark Ruffalo Few service industries are designed to be 24x7 in India, and thus there was no 24x7 mentality. Sanjay Kumar An unsophisticated forecaster uses statistics as a drunken man uses lamp-posts - for support rather than for illumination. Andrew Lang My fingers are not as fast as my brain - which isn't that much to type home about anyway. Frank Lane None are more hopelessly enslaved than those who falsely believe they are free. Johann Wolfgang von Goethe Our goal: the Islamization of Muslims. Our methods: to believe and to struggle. Alija Izetbegovic

At first I was a bit indignant about it, and then I realised, 'No, that's

what people want, so that's what is given.' But it's not in your control. It's just what happens to you, and that's what's frightening. Julia Ormond I'd been a Bowie fan before punk and used to get no end of trouble. I was always getting knocked about and having to run up the street, getting chased by people. It was horrible. Gary Numan For neither life nor nature cares if justice is ever done or not. Patricia Highsmith We can make science personal, like a love story or your best friend. Jim Sullivan The last two years we got beat in this round. They came out with the motivation to win. Jimmy Haynes Hearing voices no one else can hear isn't a good sign, even in the wizarding world. J. K. Rowling I don't want to be 60 years old standing on stage telling some jokes. I want my life to mean something. Steve Harvey

You sit there waiting for the RED LIGHT to go on. You could be sitting

there for five minutes, waiting, while the producer talks to the engineer. Then the light goes on you know that you mustn't make a mistake for at least 4 minutes. Jim Sullivan Old friends pass away, new friends appear. It is just like the days. An old day passes, a new day arrives. The important thing is to make it meaningful: a meaningful friend - or a meaningful day. Dalai Lama Economics, politics, and personalities are often inseparable. Charles Edison The extras are a nice bonus feature, but the main incentive is the musical experience. Aaron Neville We are tangled in a very significant Islamic insurgency in Iraq. Michael Scheuer Songwriting is my gift from God. Smokey Robinson Any unarmed people are slaves, or are subject to slavery at any given moment. Huey Newton

What we call 'evil' doesn't necessarily deserve any kind of respect or understanding, by any

means; it just deserves an acknowledgement of its complexity so we can better understand it - so we can help prevent it. Bryan Singer The best book on programming for the layman is 'Alice in Wonderland'; but that's because it's the best book on anything for the layman. Alan Perlis I often think that a slightly exposed shoulder emerging from a long satin nightgown packs more sex than two naked bodies in bed. Bette Davis I think America right now is looking for somebody who appeals to every faction. Aaron Eckhart I have a sneaking suspicion that if there were a way to make movies without actors, George Lucas would do it. Mark Hamill I don't deal well with admiration if it's for something I haven't done. Other than exist. Lisa Marie Presley When the student is ready... the lesson appears. Gene Oliver

Moby Dick - that book is so amazing. I just realized that it starts with

two characters meeting in bed; that's how my book begins, too, but I hadn't noticed the parallel before, two characters forced to share a bed, reluctantly. Michael Chabon There is small risk a general will be regarded with contempt by those he leads, if, whatever he may have to preach, he shows himself best able to perform. Xenophon Honesty is the best policy. Benjamin Franklin If you have ten thousand regulations you destroy all respect for the law. Winston Churchill Our party must continue to strike fear in the heart of the white man, our real enemy! Robert Mugabe If there is anything that keeps the mind open to angel visits, and repels the ministry of ill, it is human love. Nathaniel Parker Willis If you can't annoy somebody, there's little point in writing. Kingsley Amis

There is a certain comfort in waking up and finding that Michael Jackson is still

the Big Story. At least it tells you that nothing horrible has happened in the world that would force them to move on to real news. Pat Sajak If I started worrying about how my constituents are going to react to every move I make, I wouldn't be able to do my job here. I'll do what I think is right and explain it later. Ed Harris A good movie is three good scenes and no bad scenes. Howard Hawks Justice for the major perpetrators cannot be separated from the vindication of the rights of the individual victim. Jalal Talabani I came out of the Soviet Union no longer a communist, because I believed in personal freedom. Rose Wilder Lane The band was rejuvenated by that wonderful day. It breathed new life into us. John Deacon Ideas are the root of creation. Ernest Dimnet

Taking time to sit back and watch and think about what you've seen is important.

Traveling did a great deal to me. I found that when I travel and just sit in the corner and watch, a million ideas come to me. Lionel Richie Our duty is to encourage every one in his struggle to live up to his own highest idea, and strive at the same time to make the ideal as near as possible to the Truth. Swami Vivekananda Poets lose half the praise they should have got, Could it be known what they discreetly blot. Edmund Waller We have believed at CA that consolidation of this industry is something that was required ten years ago. Sanjay Kumar My favorite Oscar story was a year my brother had been nominated, my whole family went. Beau Bridges There is a point at which even justice does injury. Sophocles When it comes to life the critical thing is whether you take things for granted or take them with gratitude. Gilbert K. Chesterton

There will soon come an armed contest between capital and labor. They will oppose each

other, not with words and arguments, but with shot and shell, gun-powder and cannon. The better classes are tired of the insane howling of the lower strata and they mean to stop them. William Tecumseh Sherman I didn't do drugs, I never did do drugs. Never. I don't have any story of drugs, you know, to speak of. Never did drugs, never was interested in drugs and then I wasn't interested in the people around the drugs. Ruben Blades Guessing what the pitcher is going to throw is 80% of being a successful hitter. The other 20% is just execution. Hank Aaron I am very interested in the Universe - I am specialising in the Universe and all that surrounds it. Peter Cook My goal with the Canadian border is the same goal I have for Japan and Korea. Mike Johanns There is no moral authority like that of sacrifice. Nadine Gordimer My thoughts are my company; I can bring them together, select them, detain them, dismiss them. Walter Savage Landor

I view the whole thing as a collaboration. As an actor, I always found that

to be the most freeing thing, when the director would collaborate with you, so that together you'd come up with something exponentially better. Tony Goldwyn Total falsehoods can be easily exposed for what they are by citing exceptions to their claims. Hence, they are less likely to be accepted as the total truth. Samuel P. Huntington No one ever said on their deathbed, 'Gee, I wish I had spent more time alone with my computer'. Danielle Berry Black frost. The ground is hard, the air tastes bitter. Your stars cluster in evil signs. Georg Trakl You have to go on and be crazy. Craziness is like heaven. Jimi Hendrix A man who lives right, and is right, has more power in his silence than another has by his words. Phillips Brooks Crime butchers innocence to secure a throne, and innocence struggles with all its might against the attempts of crime. Maximilien Robespierre

Accept that all of us can be hurt, that all of us can and surely

will at times fail. Other vulnerabilities, like being embarrassed or risking love, can be terrifying, too. I think we should follow a simple rule: if we can take the worst, take the risk. Joyce Brothers Over the course of time this gave us a deep respect for ideas, both our own and those of others, and an understanding that conflict through debate is a powerful means of revealing truth. Robert B. Laughlin It is not desirable to cultivate a respect for the law, so much as for the right. Henry David Thoreau Do I think all contemporary Christian music is good? No. Amy Grant All Bridget Jones did was give us a word for it - singleton - which was the worst possible thing. Daisy Donovan I am a person of the 18th century. Cecilia Bartoli God, I'm just a fat bald guy, 60 years old, singing the blues, you know? Joe Cocker

God gave us faculties for our use; each of them will receive its proper reward.

Then do not let us try to charm them to sleep, but permit them to do their work until divinely called to something higher. Saint Teresa of Avila If someone decides to be a musician now, it means because there is no hope of money at the end of it, it means they really want to be a musician. And if someone is writing now, there is no hope for money at the end of it. Douglas Coupland The world is full of people who never quite get into the first team and who just miss the prizes at the flower show. Jacob Bronowski James Joyce - an essentially private man who wished his total indifference to public notice to be universally recognized.

Belva Lockwood A man always remembers his first love with special tenderness, but after that he begins to bunch them. H. L. Mencken Proud people breed sad sorrows for themselves. Emily Bronte

I take what I see work. I'm a strict believer in the scientific principle of

believing nothing, only taking the best evidence available at the present time, interpreting it as best you can, and leaving your mind open to the fact that new evidence will appear tomorrow. Adam Osborne And so while the great ones depart to their dinner, the secretary stays, growing thinner and thinner, racking his brain to record and report what he thinks that they think that they ought to have thought. Arthur Bryant No place affords a more striking conviction of the vanity of human hopes than a public library. Samuel Johnson Corruption is like a ball of snow, once it's set a rolling it must increase. Charles Caleb Colton My name's Jennifer Ellison and one day I'm going to be famous! Jennifer Ellison It does not matter how slowly you go as long as you do not stop. Confucius It is easy to replace man, and it will take no great time, when Nature has lapsed, to replace Nature. Alice Meynell

The momentum of freedom in our world is unmistakable - and it is not carried

forward by our power alone. We can trust in that greater power Who guides the unfolding of the years. And in all that is to come, we can know that His purposes are just and true. George W. Bush So that when I came to New York again, it was, I'm not too sure right now, but it was '74 or '75. I went to Miami in '74 and then I came to New York, I think, at the end of '74. Ruben Blades Is it honest for me to go and sit there on communion day and drink the wine and eat the bread while feeling it all to be mummery? John Fiske Monuments are for the living, not the dead. Frank Wedekind Nothing makes us more vulnerable than loneliness, except greed. Thomas Harris Kids know me from their Grease DVD, so they instantly respond. You can hear a pin drop when I do my old songs. Frankie Avalon Painting completed my life. Frida Kahlo

I think the biggest thing for me is being able to adjust to the way

the game has changed. It's basically a 180-degree turn from the style I like to play. That's what I think I'm most proud of, being able to fit into this style of game and still be fairly successful. Brett Hull The reserve of modern assertions is sometimes pushed to extremes, in which the fear of being contradicted leads the writer to strip himself of almost all sense and meaning. Winston Churchill When you get on base, holes open up and things happen and you're able to find a way to score runs. Nick Johnson Whatever fortune has raised to a height, she has raised only to cast it down. Lucius Annaeus Seneca Suddenly, as rare things will, it vanished. Elizabeth Barrett Browning To fly we have to have resistance. Maya Lin Time is money says the proverb, but turn it around and you get a precious truth. Money is time. George Gissing

Acting is playing - it's actually going out on a playground with the other kids

and being in the game, and I need that. Writing satisfies that part of myself that longs to sit in my room and dream. Billy Bob Thornton Hitler never abandoned the cloak of legality; he recognized the enormous psychological value of having the law on his side. Instead, he turned the law inside out and made illegality legal. Robert Byrd My family got all over me because they said Bush is only for the rich people. Then I reminded them, 'Hey, I'm rich'. Charles Barkley Innumerable confusions and a feeling of despair invariably emerge in periods of great technological and cultural transition. Marshall McLuhan When thou art above measure angry, bethink thee how momentary is man's life. Marcus Aurelius We are here, not because we are law-breakers; we are here in our efforts to become law-makers. Emmeline Pankhurst We've written something like 900 songs in all. Barry Mann

We all know that, unfortunately, the media does not always portray the good things that

are happening in Iraq and Afghanistan, and this will be a great opportunity for us to glean some information from the Iraqi women who are here for us to also take back to our constituents. Ginny Brown-Waite Corporal punishment is as humiliating for him who gives it as for him who receives it; it is ineffective besides. Neither shame nor physical pain have any other effect than a hardening one. Ellen Key I don't know whether a poem has be there to help to develop something. I think it's there for itself, for what the reader finds in it. Marilyn Hacker You never see what you want to see, forever playing to the gallery. Robertson Davies It's easy to focus on the things that divide us. Sometimes too easy. Dan Miller The great instrument of moral good is the imagination. Percy Bysshe Shelley Let there be no inscription upon my tomb; let no man write my epitaph: no man can write my epitaph. Robert Emmet

After using four different languages on an album, it's tough to decide which one I'm

gonna actually learn to speak. I always study the lyric, make sure I know what I'm singing, and try to get the pronunciation as perfect as possible. Josh Groban Depending on which day, and how I am feeling on that day, I have a different favorite song on the album. One day it might be 'Karma', and other days it is 'Stay For A While' Angie Stone The Chicago Symphony is considered the greatest orchestra in the world. Jane Byrne All is lost save honor. Francis I Repeating a grade needs to be the last resort, not an automatic response to a child who is struggling to learn. Roy Barnes There are ogres and black beasts out there; you have to be constantly on guard. Ted Knight It's sad that we have become so accustomed to bad service that we're shocked when we get good service. Neil Cavuto

A lot of things that I can't get into the room for, even just to

be seen, is because they're just saying 'No. they're not casting non-white.' You're lumped into a category with people who are just not white. Sandra Oh I think that finding a way into somebody's life that's sort of off from a side angle can tell you more about that person than a greatest hits approach. Bill Condon To be a good actor you have to be something like a criminal, to be willing to break the rules to strive for something new. Nicolas Cage To love with the spirit is to pity, and he who pities most loves most. Miguel de Unamuno As long as you're having fun, that's the key. The moment it becomes a grind, it's over. Barry Gibb I see the beard and cloak, but I don't yet see a philosopher. Aulus Gellius That last day does not bring extinction to us, but change of place. Marcus Tullius Cicero

Anybody intelligent enough to realize what America is, is not going to sit around and

do nothing about it. They're going to be the same way that I am. They're going to be the same way our fans are. They're going to be pissed. Marilyn Manson I went out to Charing Cross to see Major General Harrison hanged, drawn, and quartered; which was done there, he looking as cheerful as any man could in that condition. Samuel Pepys I think with the Romans, that the general of today should be a soldier tomorrow if necessary. Thomas Jefferson If the grace of God miraculously operates, it probably operates through the subliminal door. William James Life is a lively process of becoming. Douglas MacArthur That is happiness; to be dissolved into something complete and great. Willa Cather The fact that I'm sleeping with the director may have something to do with it. Frances McDormand

I think we need one recognized, respected public figure to make a tough, blunt statement

on just what Reagan's record is and what he might do to the country, let alone the Republican Party before Christmas. Robert Teeter If the world would only build temples to Machinery in the abstract then everything would be perfect. The painter and sculptor would have plenty to do, and could, in complete peace and suitably honored, pursue their trade without further trouble. Wyndham Lewis Even when there are banalities, they're usually kind of benign banalities. Michael McKean I'd rather not pinpoint my mistakes. Ally Sheedy I hope our wisdom will grow with our power, and teach us, that the less we use our power the greater it will be. Thomas Jefferson To travel hopefully is a better thing than to arrive. Robert Louis Stevenson In a war of ideas it is people who get killed. Stanislaw Jerzy Lec

Bosnia is a complicated country: three religions, three nations and those 'others'. Nationalism is strong

in all three nations; in two of them there are a lot of racism, chauvinism, separatism; and now we are supposed to make a state out of that. Alija Izetbegovic A leaf fluttered in through the window this morning, as if supported by the rays of the sun, a bird settled on the fire escape, joy in the task of coffee, joy accompanied me as I walked. Anais Nin Leaders are responsible not for running public opinion polls but for the consequences of their actions. Henry Kissinger Some men can live up to their loftiest ideals without ever going higher than a basement. Theodore Roosevelt Knowledge is a polite word for dead but not buried imagination. e. e. cummings And what he greatly thought, he nobly dared. Homer The primary use of conversation is to satisfy the impulse to talk. George Santayana

I think I am too old to be doing teen movies. I am just kind

of annoyed, because you have all these teen movies coming out with usually either Lindsay Lohan or Hilary Duff doing four of the exact teen movies over and over again. Alexa Vega A healthy social life is found only when, in the mirror of each soul, the whole community finds its reflection, and when, in the whole community, the virtue of each one is living. Rudolf Steiner If one is satisfied with things, one doesn't complain about the downsides that exist, either. Georg Henrik von Wright We're not earthly beings any more... we're cosmic beings. Eden Ahbez I don't like recording studios - except my own, which is just a little room above the garage. Keith Jarrett An Independent is someone who wants to take the politics out of politics. Adlai E. Stevenson Even when I think I'm writing really young, they say it's too mature. Cynthia Weil

Every week it's another opportunity to really make that work and figure out how to

make it work better. And I love that it's like theater, too, and the audience, and it's so short. It's only 20 minutes. It's like a haiku or something. Joan Cusack I was born in London in 1919. I first went to America in 1946 for a three-month holiday. Then I came back, worked here for almost a year sold up my home and went back on immigration in 1947. George Shearing If the tanks succeed, then victory follows. Heinz Guderian To be idle is a short road to death and to be diligent is a way of life; foolish people are idle, wise people are diligent.

And blessed are those who take without forgetting. Bernard Meltzer Our failings sometimes bind us to one another as closely as could virtue itself. Luc de Clapiers

For over two billion years, through the apparent fancy of her endless differentiations and metamorphosis

the Cell, as regards its basic physiological mechanisms, has remained one and the same. It is life itself, and our true and distant ancestor. Albert Claude I have many valentines. My mom and my sister and my directors. I got calls from all of them. And my friends. I respect what Valentine's Day stands for because it is about love. Michelle Trachtenberg The jealousy and resentment that animate the terrorists also affect many of our former cold war allies. Richard Perle Sometimes I can spend as long revising a manuscript as I spent writing it in the first place. Margaret Haddix I think there is something about coming to a city to work that puts you in touch with it in a different way. Marilyn Hacker Great emergencies and crises show us how much greater our vital resources are than we had supposed. William James Perhaps of all the most basic elements of music, rhythm most directly affects our central nervous system. George Crumb

The compulsion to do good is an innate American trait. Only North Americans seem to

believe that they always should, may, and actually can choose somebody with whom to share their blessings. Ultimately this attitude leads to bombing people into the acceptance of gifts. Ivan Illich The worst thing I could be accused of is that I'm a one-way dude, only out for myself. But the worst thing a woman can do is not to say anything. Especially when you're starting a relationship. Matt Dillon Reality shows are all the rage on TV at the moment, but that's not reality, it's just another aesthetic form of fiction. Steven Soderbergh I haven't written enough songs to be able to say that I have a system. I've only written a handful. Mike Gordon I just say I'm an artist who works with pictures and words. Barbara Kruger I have so many different personalities in me and I still feel lonely. Tori Amos The mission of art is to represent nature not to imitate her. William Morris Hunt

It is misery, you know, unspeakable misery for the man who lives alone and who

detests sordid, casual affairs; not old enough to do without women, but not young enough to be able to go and look for one without shame! Luigi Pirandello I personally believe, as church law sets out, that sanctions are an absolute last resort, particularly penal sanctions of depriving people of the sacraments. Roger Mahony To forget oneself is to be happy. Robert Louis Stevenson An intellectual hatred is the worst. William Butler Yeats Meditation is the soul's perspective glass. Owen Feltham The first requisite for immortality is death. Stanislaw Jerzy Lec When she had passed, it seemed like the ceasing of exquisite music. Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

We must get the American public to look past the glitter, beyond the showmanship, to

the reality, the hard substance of things. And we'll do it not so much with speeches that will bring people to their feet as with speeches that bring people to their senses. Mario Cuomo My only regret is that I signed away the world rights and in America they've been far and away my most successful books, but I never saw a cent from any of it. Jonathan Coe When a guy can make fun of you, thats attractive. Who knew that teasing could have so much power over women! Rachel Bilson If you aren't rich you should always look useful. Louis-Ferdinand Celine You can never solve a problem on the level on which it was created. Albert Einstein There can be no liberty unless there is economic liberty. Margaret Thatcher A person wrapped up in himself makes a small package. Harry Emerson Fosdick

Just two weeks ago, millions of Iraqis defied the threats of terrorists and went to

the polls to determine their own future. I congratulate the Iraqi people for the courage they've shown in making these elections so successful. Bill Frist Some authors have a very hard time understanding that in order to be faithful to the spirit of the book, it's almost always impossible to remain faithful to the text. You have to make changes. Richard Russo George W Bush is like a bad comic working the crowd, a moron, if you'll pardon the expression. Martin Sheen Man wants to be reconciled to God; wants to know that the past is forgiven. Matthew Simpson Who ever converses among old books will be hard to please among the new. William Temple I don't like to play the victim. Barry Pepper Systematically identity top designers as early as possible. The best are often not the most experienced. Fred Brooks

I think in part the reason is that seeing an economy that is, in

many ways, quite different from the one grows up in, helps crystallize issues: in one's own environment, one takes too much for granted, without asking why things are the way they are. Joseph Stiglitz When you coach as long as I did, you can't help but miss those Saturdays - dealing with the players, the game preparation, the challenges, the excitement. Tom Osborne Men seldom, or rather never for a length of time and deliberately, rebel against anything that does not deserve rebelling against. Thomas Carlyle Sculpture is the art of the intelligence. Pablo Picasso It's strategic for us - lots of people will develop applications in .NET. Miguel de Icaza It seems to be the thing now that young people are getting back into politics. Susan George We do not need international help to stop corruption, we need strong Louisiana Leadership. David Vitter
