Non-violence is the essence of the entire Buddha's teaching, and the practice of non-violence is

the entire essence of the practice of Buddha dharma, Buddhist spirituality, in one's life.
Lobsang Tenzin

Good poets borrow; great poets steal.
David Shields

The main thing is, wherever I play, I enjoy it and help the team.
Anthony Martial

I've always felt a certain guilt to have them labeled as 'Christina's sisters' or, 'That's Christina's mom' but them looking for the respect to be named Elizabeth and Danielle and Carmen.
Christina Milian

I don't really know why I started playing as a kid, but I grew up in Queens, New York, not too far from Forest Hills, where they played the U.S. Open in those days. I even got to be a ball boy there. Also, there was a tennis court just a block away from our house, and I'd hang out down there.
John McEnroe

It's so rare that I get to do something in my own accent in my own hometown.
Rebecca Hall

I want to create an atmosphere that can be consciously plumbed with seeing... like the wordless thought that comes from looking in a fire.
James Turrell

Charles James was a dear friend of mine when I was a little boy - 17, 18. He was mad as a hatter. I had no idea how famous he was.
Rene Ricard

I feel like I've got a nice little niche where I stay just below the radar, which is perfect. I just don't want to be known for anything other than music.
Dierks Bentley

I think we're actually the only sport that has a mix of men and women competing together. The majority of other sports are separated by gender.
Charlotte Dujardin

When I was 17, I worked in a mentoring program in Harlem designed to improve

the community. That's when I first gained an appreciation of the Harlem Renaissance, a time when African-Americans rose to prominence in American culture. For the first time, they were taken seriously as artists, musicians, writers, athletes, and as political thinkers. Kareem Abdul-Jabbar I only make movies that are interesting to me. Brian Grazer I wouldn't say I was organised at all. I just have to prioritise. Is it more important for them to be organised, or to have their dinner, do you know what I mean? Jo Brand The courage in journalism is sticking up for the unpopular, not the popular. Geraldo Rivera A happy life must be to a great extent a quiet life, for it is only in an atmosphere of quiet that true joy dare live. Bertrand Russell I think Mick Jagger would be astounded and amazed if he realized that to many people he is not a sex symbol, but a mother image. David Bowie I enjoy my job as long as I can create a character, otherwise it's boring. Jav...

All I've been a part of has been thanks to the Disney company: the job,

experience, travel, opportunities have come thanks to Disney. Working for Disney was not part of my original plan, but it was part of God's, and it shows that God is still moving. Jodi Benson It almost goes without saying that when you are a startup, one of the first things you do is you start setting aside money to defend yourself from patent lawsuits, because any successful company, even moderately successful, is going to get hit by a patent lawsuit from someone who's just trying to look for a payout. Charles Duhigg People always ask me about 'Girls' with this kind of hesitation. What do I think of it? I love it. It's awesome. I get a lot of Where do you come down on this? I come down on the side of 'Yay, Lena Dunham. Congratulations. I'm jealous.' She's doing something so fantastic. Maybe it's not for everybody, but it certainly is for me. Callie Khouri I've never really understood the term 'Post-Impressionism' as more tha...

Given Pounds and five years, and an ordinary man can in the ordinary course, without

any undue haste or putting any pressure upon his taste, surround himself with books, all in his own language, and thence forward have at least one place in the world. Augustine Birrell Everyone should know that most cancer research is largely a fraud, and that the major cancer research organizations are derelict in their duties to the people who support them. Linus Pauling A Bush Administration will, I believe, enjoy a better relationship with the new Congress, although President-elect Bush will be faced with real challenges in getting along with the Congress. Richard V. Allen I once thought that I was the only man that persevered to be the friend of the white man, but since they have come and cleaned out our lodges, horses, and everything else, it is hard for to believe the white man any more. Black Kettle When you finish a poem, it clicks shut like the top of a jewel box, but prose is endless. I haven't experienced an awful lot of clicking shut! Kenneth Koch I thin...

As a Midlander and a big walker, I'd always loved ridge and furrow

fields, the plough-marked land as it was when it was enclosed. It is the landscape giving you a story of lives that ended with the arrival of sheep. Jim Crace I think it's really rare to see women on television who are brilliant, selfish, vain, fallible - and I feel like I have all those capacities in myself, so it's good to see people in the media representing all of those things. Kerry Bishe I never went after fame. It fell into my lap. Caitlyn Jenner My mom and dad were actors when they were younger and had a horrible experience of it. My dad became a literary agent and my mom a casting director. Daniel Radcliffe I have this idea of trying to catalog all the genes on the planet. Craig Venter The wind from the Kingdom of Heaven has blown all over the world, and shall blow for centuries yet. George William Russell I always said if I played a drag queen, I'd want to create a template with the realness they talk about in 'Paris Is Burning.' Billy P...

Music was the one thing that was just mine, and no one could take it

from me. I created it, dictated it, and it made me not able to let go of it. Mitski I'll be reaching across the aisle to find opportunities to work with Democrats on the issues that desperately need to be addressed. Thom Tillis Any sympathy won for Aileen Wuornos based on a lie is not sympathy at all. The question is, can we have sympathy for the circumstances of someone's life? That's what I was interested in. Patty Jenkins God only made one thing in this world that's perfect - and that's my boxing record. Floyd Mayweather, Jr. The fan mail I get every day is incredible. It piles through the door from not just Britain but everywhere. It is so great to have that support behind me - everyone says I am an inspiration. It is great. Charlotte Dujardin I'm not a natural. I had to teach myself - or be taught - everything I do. I just spent hours and hours in the mirror mimicking Michael Jackson. Ne-Yo For me, age doesn't matte...

This battle for 'common-sense' gun control laws pits emotion and passion against logic and reason.

All too often in such a contest, logic loses. So, expect more meaningless, if not harmful, 'gun control' legislation. Good news - if you're a crook. Larry Elder I drive a lot. Just for pleasure. Sometimes I'll get in the Cadillac and drive around the city or the country, kind of trying to get lost basically. Y'know, just see where roads lead. Frank Black You and I will meet again, When we're least expecting it, One day in some far off place, I will recognize your face, I won't say goodbye my friend, For you and I will meet again. Tom Petty We must dare to think 'unthinkable' thoughts. We must learn to explore all the options and possibilities that confront us in a complex and rapidly changing world. J. William Fulbright Nothing contributes so much to tranquilize the mind as a steady purpose - a point on which the soul may fix its intellectual eye. Mary Shelley Never make friends with people who are above or below you in status. Such fr...

Every day, I have a parcel waiting for me at home because I have shopped something, as I

have physically stopped going to places to shop. I don't shop from malls because the stuff there is very common. I like to be unique and different. Krystle D'Souza I forgive very easily, and I suppose, in the same way, I expect to be forgiven very easily as well. I grew up with that. Boy George Our goal has never been to make the most. It's always been to make the best. Tim Cook I'm more frightened than interested by artificial intelligence - in fact, perhaps fright and interest are not far away from one another. Things can become real in your mind, you can be tricked, and you believe things you wouldn't ordinarily. A world run by automatons doesn't seem completely unrealistic any more. It's a bit chilling. Gemma Whelan I did a song with Rihanna recently, and I was like, 'How did you find out about me or whatever?' And she said, 'Drake.' Ty Dolla Sign I often feel failed by feminism. Janet Mock The Trump Administration is working from all a...

I like that I'm in shape but still look like a woman. I don't feel

like I've had to give up my femininity to be an athlete. I feel good about my body because I work hard every day, and I still look and carry myself as a woman - a strong woman. Miesha Tate People become writers in the first place by those things that hurt you into art, as Yeats said it. Then they become separated from what started out affecting them. Journalism forces you to look at the world so you don't get cut off. Pete Hamill Every revolutionary poet or lyricist has been criticised for something. If you come up with something new, there will always be people who will object to it. Yo Yo Honey Singh It's no secret I'm a shy person. Britney Spears My mom and dad have always, always, and continue to be the most incredible citizens of the world and most generous in quiet ways, that I strive to do even a fraction of what they do. Gavin Creel I had to want to lose weight myself. Nell Carter I wouldn't apply high frame rates to a love...

Lohan and I talk about just things that happen. It's Lindsay. She's great. I went

from not knowing who she was to not being able to get rid of her because she's everywhere. She's on everything. Jonathan Bennett Histories are more full of examples of the fidelity of dogs than of friends. Alexander Pope We've had no problems with the actors, but we keep a really loose set. Peter Farrelly It's more than a game. It's an institution. Thomas Hughes If we have not quiet in our minds, outward comfort will do no more for us than a golden slipper on a gouty foot. John Bunyan An extraordinary affair. I gave them their orders and they wanted to stay and discuss them. Duke of Wellington Four-fifths of all our troubles would disappear, if we would only sit down and keep still. Calvin Coolidge It is easy when we are in prosperity to give advice to the afflicted. Aeschylus

I think a good story can do as much as a novel; not the exact

same thing, of course, but just as much artistically. They're different beasts, but to tackle an expansive country like the United States, you're either going to write a big novel, or go in to various points on the map and write stories or poems. David Means It's a very powerful medium now, and should be celebrated as such, because we have the greatest television in the world. Diana Rigg I don't really write. I'm an on-the-spot type of person. This beat, let's listen to it; let's vibe. And then I'll do a melody, and then we'll go back and do it. Travis Scott I'd never discuss anything confidential. Pam Bondi Ed Balls keeps saying that we are committed to scrapping the EMA. I have never said this. We won't. Michael Gove When it's something you really adore, I think you don't want to be the one who accidentally writes a crap episode. Jane Goldman There are a couple people who have complained on other teams about some o...
