Rabbi J. Gordon
There is nothing new in art except talent.
Anton Chekhov

Ruth Gordon
We can have democracy in this country, or we can have great wealth concentrated in the hands of a few, but we can't have both.

Jonathan Sacks
To be somebody you must last.
I think the American people have become more reliant upon government and less reliant upon themselves and that they now tend to put security ahead of freedom, but I think freedom is the most important aspect of our lives.
Lyn Nofziger
It's great to be here. It's great to be anywhere.
Keith Richards
Every time I copy something, I can draw it for the rest of my life. But research is so painful - I mean just opening up a magazine looking for a picture of a car or looking out the window looking for a car is just hard!
Jaime Hernandez
Political folk talk a lot these days about 'messaging' - a neologism designed to describe the way in which parties and politicians consciously characterize their efforts. It is only intended to be positive - i.e., 'Our messaging is designed to show we care.'
John Podhoretz

William Shakespeare
The ladder of success is best climbed by stepping on the rungs of opportunity.
Ayn Rand
Those who decide to use leisure as a means of mental development, who love good music, good books, good pictures, good plays, good company, good conversation - what are they? They are the happiest people in the world.
William Lyon Phelps
Great abilities are not requisite for an Historian; for in historical composition, all the greatest powers of the human mind are quiescent. He has facts ready to his hand; so there is no exercise of invention. Imagination is not required in any degree; only about as much as is used in the lowest kinds of poetry. Some penetration, accuracy, and coloring, will fit a man for the task, if he can give the application which is necessary.
Samuel Johnson
Effectively, change is almost impossible without industry-wide collaboration, cooperation and consensus.
Simon Mainwaring
It is, indeed, at home that every man must be known by those who would make a just estimate either of his virtue or felicity; for smiles and embroidery are alike occasional, and the mind is often dressed for show in painted honor, and fictitious benevolence.
There is something about inside information which seems to paralyse a man's reasoning powers.
Bernard Baruch
The Lord often has his prophets climb mountains to converse with Him. I always wondered why He did that, and now I know the answer: when we are on high, we can see everything else as small. Our glory and sadness lose their importance. Whatever we conquered or lost remains there below. From the heights of the mountain, you see how large the world is, and how wide its horizons.
Paulo Coelho
No money is better spent than what is laid out for domestic satisfaction.
The natural flights of the human mind are not from pleasure to pleasure, but from hope to hope.
The quality of light by which we scrutinize our lives has direct bearing upon the product which we live, and upon the changes which we hope to bring about through those lives.

The more I read, the more I acquire, the more certain I am that I know nothing.
Voltaire
Nothing is more hopeless than a scheme of merriment.
Our only hope is to control the vote.
Medgar Evers
I hate mankind, for I think of myself as one of the best of them, and I know how bad I am.
I do not believe that Congress or the Administration should prohibit the medical community from pursuing a promising avenue of research that may improve the lives of millions of Americans.
Tom Allen
I am a great friend to public amusements, for they keep the people from vice.
Playing hard to get is not the way to win me over. I'm definitely more for the girl who can smile and laugh all the time and just have a good time!
Taylor Lautner

We're in a giant car heading towards a brick wall and everyone's arguing over where they're going to sit.
David Suzuki
You are speaking...as if the pleasure were one thing and the memory another. It is all one thing... what you call remembering is the last part of the pleasure.
C.S. Lewis
Sir, a man may be so much of everything, that he is nothing of anything.
Vets do what doctors used to - diagnose the injury or the condition, patch it up as best they can and remind you that these things happen and that in life we are also in the midst of death.
