I felt somehow for many years that George Washington and Alexander

Hamilton just left me out by mistake. But through the process of amendment, interpretation, and court decision, I have finally been included in 'We, the people.' Barbara Jordan It is time to effect a revolution in female manners - time to restore to them their lost dignity. It is time to separate unchangeable morals from local manners. Mary Wollstonecraft Understanding how DNA transmits all it knows about cancer, physics, dreaming and love will keep man searching for some time. David R. Brower I believe in the greatness of our democracy. Chen Shui-bian It is foolish to pretend that one is fully recovered from a disappointed passion. Such wounds always leave a scar. Henry Wadsworth Longfellow I had that thing of wanting to prove I was a tough kid. Scott Caan I think quite often a fate worse than death is life, for lots of people. Tom Baker

People know that they're going to see something which is entertaining but challenging as well

because of the form it's in. It's dance theatre and it requires you to use your imagination - it's not straight forward. Matthew Bourne Sometimes I'll come up with a lick that I really love, and I'll try to put the right words to it for years. Suddenly something comes to me that works just right. Alex Chilton Leadership is, among other things, the ability to inflict pain and get away with it - short-term pain for long-term gain. George Will Rule No.1: Never lose money. Rule No.2: Never forget rule No.1. Warren Buffett Joint undertakings stand a better chance when they benefit both sides. Euripides I love iconoclasts. I love individuals. I love people that are true to themselves, whatever the cost. Tim Robbins You have to work in this business on your own terms. Don't sell out for money, fame, or notoriety. Morgan Brittany

I understand the harsh feelings and sentiments from my opponents and their supporters because I

myself have been defeated twice in my political life in the past and I understand very well it is hard to accept your own failure. Chen Shui-bian I want to work with great directors and try not to put too much pressure on myself and just read things for the story and recognize when I'm drawn to something for the right reasons and try to maintain some sanity. Rachel McAdams Perhaps, when we examine the causes of many social changes and political upheavals, we will find the marks of its presence and its principal ideals. Ali Khamenei Most people say they talk to me and I sound older. Michelle Trachtenberg It is the around-the-corner brand of hope that prompts people to action, while the distant hope acts as an opiate. Eric Hoffer Gossip is nature's telephone. Sholom Aleichem Labor to keep alive in your breast that little spark of celestial fire, called conscience. George Washington

One is not idle because one is absorbed. There is both visible and invisible labor.

To contemplate is to toil, to think is to do. The crossed arms work, the clasped hands act. The eyes upturned to Heaven are an act of creation. Victor Hugo We do have our finger on the pulse of the marketplace, if for no other reasons than having all these live events and listening to our audience all the time. Vince McMahon The gun lobby finds waiting periods inconvenient. You have only to ask my husband how inconvenient he finds his wheelchair from time to time. Sarah Brady An entrepreneur assumes the risk and is dedicated and committed to the success of whatever he or she undertakes. Victor Kiam It is by acts and not by ideas that people live. Anatole France Good writing excites me, and makes life worth living. Harold Pinter Among a people generally corrupt liberty cannot long exist. Edmund Burke

There is no true love save in suffering, and in this world we have to

choose either love, which is suffering, or happiness. Man is the more man - that is, the more divine - the greater his capacity for suffering, or rather, for anguish. Miguel de Unamuno I've already written 300 space poems. But I look upon my ultimate form as being a poetic prose. When you read it, it appears to be prose, but within the prose you have embedded the techniques of poetry. Story Musgrave If you want to reach a goal, you must 'see the reaching' in your own mind before you actually arrive at your goal. Zig Ziglar The future has already arrived. It's just not evenly distributed yet. William Gibson Never explain, never complain. Wallis Simpson I think actors are privileged. Acting feeds you. Alan Bates I'm chasing perfection. Kobe Bryant

I suppose I was very disappointed that I was injured during training for Korea. In

fact, I had an argument with a grenade and it won, and consequently I was forced to come back to Australia for twelve months. Peter Scott I did several interesting jobs, working in restaurants, I worked at a lab rat farm, feeding and watering all these rats. Then I got a full-time job as a technical writer for a large scientific research laboratory. Kevin J. Anderson I do not hold with those who think it is all right to do whatever you want so long as it doesn't hurt anyone. Who's to be the judge of that? Loretta Young Do not give in too much to feelings. A overly sensitive heart is an unhappy possession on this shaky earth. Johann Wolfgang von Goethe Is a decision made in advance really any kind of choice. Wislawa Szymborska During my early years at Minnesota I conducted an evening enzyme seminar. Paul D. Boyer It was essential to do this job, hateful though it was, because we knew the Germans were hot on the trail. Mark Oliphant

I'm the kind of person who just can't wait to get on a train and

not know where I'm going. I definitely want to live life to the fullest. And that's the type of man I'm attracted to - somebody with that spontaneous spirit. Summer Altice Beauty, sweet love, is like the morning dew, Whose short refresh upon tender green, Cheers for a time, but till the sun doth show And straight is gone, as it had never been. Samuel Daniel I am evidence that you don't have to sell a lot of records or succeed in the usual way to have a big audience and a job. Leo Kottke To me, such functions are like supermarket openings. Norton Simon Men live by intervals of reason under the sovereignty of humor and passion. Thomas Browne Who defines terrorists? Today's terrorist is tomorrow's friend. Al Sharpton There's no drugs, no Tom in a dress, no psychiatrists. Nicole Kidman

The organizational architecture is really that a centipede walks on hundred legs and one or

two don't count. So if I lose one or two legs, the process will go on, the organization will go on, the growth will go on. Mukesh Ambani I had very low expectations. Honestly, I think I had 11 rounds of golf the entire year in before this tournament, and I had hit balls maybe four or five times. Trent Dilfer The heart and soul of network programming is series programming, the weekly repetition of characters you like having in your house. Dick Wolf I am not ashamed to confess that I am ignorant of what I do not know. Marcus Tullius Cicero When money is seen as a solution for every problem, money itself becomes the problem. Richard J. Needham Rhythm is the life of space of time danced through. Cecil Taylor I am confirmed in my division of human energies. Ambitious people climb, but faithful people build. Julia Ward Howe

My uncle inspired me, and it was because of him that I become a wrestler,

but besides him, the one Superstar that really caught my attention growing up as a kid was 'Macho Man' Randy Savage.Rey Mysterio It's clear that Planned Parenthood went out of its way to paint me as some sort of a zealot - a Trojan-horse zealot who came into Komen and within 10 to 11 months had completely turned the place upside down. That's clearly not who I am, and it's not what happened.Karen Handel Once you become president, you don't even have to stop for red lights. And if it looks like traffic's too bad, you just take a helicopter.H. W. Brands From Julia Child to 'The Galloping Gourmet' and the Food Channel and Cooking Channel, our fascination with the spectacle of cooking has been a mainstay of TV entertainment.Chuck Norris I want to love. I want to enjoy life.David Cassidy The mistake we made in the 1990s was overestimating the potential of NAFTA's positive impact.William M. Daley I was set to confront the might of the

Years ago nobody was elected on the economic ticket. It was either the education platform,

or it was health or it was other issues. It is only recently that economic values have superceded every other human value. Anita Roddick The physical fabric of the world had to be such as to enable that ten billion year preliminary evolution to produce the raw materials of life. Without it there would not have been the chemical materials to allow life to evolve here on earth. John Polkinghorne I respect the Hall of Fame, and if they think that I'm worthy enough, I would be very honored. And if they don't, I gave it all that I had to this game. Rafael Palmeiro I'm pleased the administration is endorsing the need for legislation dealing with the chemical sector. In the past, the administration's position has been ambiguous. Susan Collins When I was 12 years old, I was hanging out with 23-year-olds. I was into cartoons and Pokemon, and they're all talking about girls. It was a strange way to grow up. Shaun White I read everything. I've always got a b

The higher mental development of woman, the less possible it is for her to meet

a congenial male who will see in her, not only sex, but also the human being, the friend, the comrade and strong individuality, who cannot and ought not lose a single trait of her character. Emma Goldman We had every kind of audience you could name. Young, old, not-so-old, some older than old, some younger than young: they were there, they were there! There was everything. John Hunter Music is something that always lifts my spirits and makes me happy, and when I make music I always hope it will have the same effect on whoever listens to it. Aaron Carter God is not disillusioned with us. He never had any illusions to begin with. Luis Palau Genre is a bookstore problem, not a literary problem. Rick Moody We are the recorders and reporters of facts - not the judges of the behaviors we describe. Alfred Kinsey Power has only one duty - to secure the social welfare of the People. Benjamin Disraeli

One of the worst things about being an actor, besides people being nice to you

and getting free stuff all the time - but really, one of the worst things is not knowing what's coming next. You could shoot a pilot, and they could have you on hold for six months waiting to find out what is going to happen with the show, and you're locked into it. Nick Kroll What, I sometimes wonder, would it be like if I lived in a country where winter is a matter of a few chilly days and a few weeks' rain; where the sun is never far away, and the flowers bloom all year long? Anna Neagle Of course there have been times I regretted being the kid in 'E.T.' My world went completely crazy. I was that stupid kind of famous, where you can't go anywhere. Henry Thomas A lot of the stuff I have done had been not only the likable guy, but like the nice likable guy. Ron Livingston It doesn't have to be a problem for children to be fat, but it does affect you: you aren't as happy in that skin. Harry Melling They always want me to play myself and th

I'd say I'm a bit antimadridista although I do not know where my future will

be, but it's a team that I never liked. I get the impression that it is an arrogant club, about how the players are. Without humility, you cannot get anywhere. Isco I'm very big on doing my own thing. Rob Kardashian When I was younger, I definitely did face anti-ginger prejudice. As a child, all teasing hurts, whether it's because you're fat or a different race or have red hair. I had enough comments from a couple of people to make it a sore point. Lily Cole I think people like to see a little larceny in their heroes. James Garner I spent my childhood watching every scary movie that Hollywood ever made. And I think that gave me the best education for storytelling. It also made me want to reproduce the scary moments that I felt, sitting in a theater at the age of 5. Tess Gerritsen Movies are extremely imitative of one another. Whatever works, people will try to do it. Octavia E. Butler Women are liked better when they lose. Gloria Steinem Our TV and

I was always under the impression that acting is an innate gift. One of the

first things I heard them say at Koothu-P-Pattarai was that actors should realise the art of acting through their training. Vijay Sethupathi I remember auditioning for 'Moulin Rouge!,' the part that Ewan McGregor played. I was so young: I was literally just out of college. Tobias Menzies When you have an opportunity to do a series, you want to stick it out. You don't know when you're going to get another one like that again. Cleavant Derricks I am a really great daughter. Millie Bobby Brown Let us fight until the end. Let me try at least that - fight. Pep Guardiola You can have an idea that everyone else thinks is dumb, and it's still a good idea. Ryan North When there is a ring on my finger, which is actually given to me, then I'll tell the world. Till then, no one can claim me. Priyanka Chopra You need not fear my extinction. Fear my proliferation! I've already reproduced! Lydia Millet We are at a point in our nation's history w

I think you have to take each movie for its own value. There will be

those you'll roll your eyes over and others you can't wait to see. It all has to do with the intention. If someone's intention is just to make money and exploit something for profit, then it's not good. If it's thoughtfully done, the proof's in the pudding.Carrie-Anne Moss I basically applied to law school as a way of telling my parents that I wasn't going to medical school.John Delaney At a certain point, if you still have your marbles and are not faced with serious financial challenges, you have a chance to put your house in order. It's a cliche, but it's underestimated as an analgesic on all levels. Putting your house in order, if you can do it, is one of the most comforting activities, and the benefits of it are incalculable.Leonard Cohen I simply love coming to Chennai. My wife always complains, saying, 'You literally run at the mention of Chennai - I wonder what it is about that place!' I love how everyone is active here 24/7.

In a hyper-capitalist environment dominated by media giants, the means available to independent journalism have

narrowed considerably. Nayef Al-Rodhan I wasn't a bad kid. My dad left when I was young, so I didn't have much discipline, not that I'm making excuses. I was always out and about and had a good time as a kid, so I've done alright. Danny Dyer I think I just stick to eating a well-rounded diet. I don't cut out anything; if I crave something, I eat it. But I definitely try to stick to a balanced diet always. Martha Hunt If I had been in President Obama's shoes, I would have acted more decisively and strongly against ISIS. Rand Paul Me and heels are very good friends. Emilia Clarke The conscience can be a strong guide in life if we allow it. Joyce Meyer Horseracing and ranch horses are two different animals. You're getting race horses out and running and running them. It can be really problematic. A thoroughbred's very delicate. Dennis Quaid I do value the respect I get from my contemporaries, but to have Oasis cover my song, to have Puf

In the spiritual body moreover, man appears such as he is with respect to love

and faith, for everyone in the spiritual world is the effigy of his own love, not only as to the face and the body, but also as to the speech and the actions. Emanuel Swedenborg No, the people standing before Christ and Pilate during the judgment scene do not condemn an entire race for the death of Christ anymore than the actions of Mussolini condemn all Italians, or the heinous crimes of Stalin condemn all Russians. Jim Caviezel If only Queen Elizabeth II had the intellectual, political and linguistic skills of Queen Elizabeth I, many people would support giving her some of the powers of an elected president. A. N. Wilson I'll always write music. Whether I release a record, whether I let the public hear it or not, I'm always writing music. Brian McKnight I touched an Oscar once. Friend of mine has one, for writing. As soon as I touched it, he said, Now you'll never win one. Rob Corddry The Blair government has lowered the standing of politics and politicians

Now I know that I should take better care of myself when I'm under an

intense deadline, or else my body is gonna act in certain ways that are not good. Tyra Banks It has endless possibilities, and but what we do with our arrangements, we move the borders of cello playing and discover new ways of new techniques of cello playing. Luka Sulic The most surprising thing, honestly, is that so few Americans know about the orphan trains. I was also surprised at the resilience and fortitude of the riders I met, their pragmatism and grace. I don't know whether this is a Midwestern trait or simply a human one. Christina Baker Kline OkCupid has users from 18 to 80 on the site. And we get to observe all of their actions. We get to watch how they use the site, how they interact with other people. Sam Yagan If you read any of my books, they tend to have a strong historical perspective. Eric Kandel My nickname is Dickie Jukebox. I own thousands and thousands and thousands of songs. Richard Simmons I do love the music aspect of the Internet. The Inte
