Analyzing what you haven't got as well as what you have is a necessary ingredient of a career.
In my afternoon walk I would fain forget all my morning occupations and my obligations to society.
Henry David Thoreau
We have the right as individuals to give away as much of our own money as we please in charity but as members of Congress we have no right to appropriate a dollar of the public money.
Davy Crockett
Slight small injuries, and they will become none at all.
Thomas Fuller
I was very interested in theatre, mostly in stage design. I did a little bit of acting.
Jim Henson
Love is something far more than desire for sexual intercourse it is the principal means of escape from the loneliness which afflicts most men and women throughout the greater part of their lives.
Bertrand Russell
The news is what it is. It's going to be good, it's going to be positive, it's going to be negative. It's going to have all sorts of effects on candidates always.
Mark E. Hyman
All doors open to courtesy.
Choose your companions from the best Who draws a bucket with the rest soon topples down the hill.
William Butler Yeats
Search not a wound too deep lest thou make a new one.
One must not let oneself be overwhelmed by sadness.
Jackie Kennedy
With foxes we must play the fox.
An important antidote to American democracy is American gerontocracy. The positions of eminence and authority in Congress are allotted in accordance with length of service, regardless of quality. Superficial observers have long criticized the United States for making a fetish of youth. This is unfair. Uniquely among modern organs of public and private administration, its national legislature rewards senility.
John Kenneth Galbraith
For 25 years, it has been my privilege to represent the city of San Francisco and the great state of California to work to strengthen our vibrant middle class to secure opportunity and equality.
Nancy Pelosi
When people put their ballots in the boxes, they are, by that act, inoculated against the feeling that the government is not theirs. They then accept, in some measure, that its errors are their errors, its aberrations their aberrations, that any revolt will be against them. It's a remarkably shrewd and rather conservative arrangement when one thinks of it.
But he did not understand the price. Mortals never do. They only see the prize, their heart's desire, their dream... But the price of getting what you want, is getting what you once wanted.
Neil Gaiman
Jesus does not give recipes that show the way to God as other teachers of religion do. He is himself the way.
Karl Barth
In economics the majority is always wrong.
Education has for its object the formation of character.
Herbert Spencer
These technologies can make life easier, can let us touch people we might not otherwise. You may have a child with a birth defect and be able to get in touch with other parents and support groups, get medical information, the latest experimental drugs. These things can profoundly influence life. I'm not downplaying that.
Steve Jobs
No slavery can be abolished without a double emancipation, and the master will benefit by freedom more than the freed-man.
Thomas Huxley
The sleeping fox catches no poultry.
Benjamin Franklin
In the usual (though certainly not in every) public decision on economic policy, the choice is between courses that are almost equally good or equally bad. It is the narrowest decisions that are most ardently debated. If the world is lucky enough to enjoy peace, it may even one day make the discovery, to the horror of doctrinaire free-enterprisers and doctrinaire planners alike, that what is called capitalism and what is called socialism are both capable of working quite well.
The enemy of the conventional wisdom is not ideas but the march of events.
How can you think and hit at the same time?
Yogi Berra
A woman's whole life is a history of the affections.
Washington Irving
More die in the United States from too much food that from too little.
Prosperity is the best protector of principle.
Mark Twain
I never have planned a whole lot of future. It's one day at a time.
Darrell Royal
The great dialectic in our time is not, as anciently and by some still supposed, between capital and labor; it is between economic enterprise and the state.
I, of course, meditate for two hours every morning. It's part of my schedule I wake up at 4 a.m. every day and I love it.
Deepak Chopra
There is a criterion by which you can judge whether the thoughts you are thinking and the things you are doing are right for you. The criterion is: Have they brought you inner peace?
Peace Pilgrim
It would be foolish to suggest that government is a good custodian of aesthetic goals. But, there is no alternative to the state.
In my column series 'The Main Thing,' I often talk about how Internet technology can improve the way people communicate - both within a business and between a business and its customers and partners.
Jim Barksdale
Keeping accounts, Sir, is of no use when a man is spending his own money, and has nobody to whom he is to account. You won't eat less beef today, because you have written down what it cost yesterday.
Samuel Johnson
The contented and economically comfortable have a very discriminating view of government. Nobody is ever indignant about bailing out failed banks and failed savings and loans associations. But when taxes must be paid for the lower middle class and poor, the government assumes an aspect of wickedness.
I have a lot of amazing women, you know, women in my life who have been an example for me of what not to do.
Jennifer Aniston
We are intelligent beings: intelligent beings cannot have been formed by a crude, blind, insensible being: there is certainly some difference between the ideas of Newton and the dung of a mule. Newton's intelligence, therefore, came from another intelligence
Voltaire
Among all the world's races, some obscure Bedouin tribes possibly apart, Americans are the most prone to misinformation. This is not the consequence of any special preference for mendacity, although at the higher levels of their public administration that tendency is impressive. It is rather that so much of what they themselves believe is wrong.
As long as acquiring knowledge is the educational goal of schools, educational opportunities will be limited, as they are now, to affluent families.
William Glasser
No sooner have you feasted on beauty with your eyes than your mind tells you that beauty is vain and beauty passes
Virginia Woolf
