Ask your child what he wants for dinner only if he's buying.
In the long term we can hope that religion will change the nature of man and reduce conflict. But history is not encouraging in this respect. The bloodiest wars in history have been religious wars.
Richard M. Nixon
The first hour of the morning is the rudder of the day.
Henry Ward Beecher
My mother taught public school, went to Harvard and then got her master's there and taught fifth and sixth grade in a public school. My dad had a more working-class lifestyle. He didn't go to college. He was an auto mechanic and a bartender and a janitor at Harvard.
Ben Affleck
A tool is but the extension of a man's hand, and a machine is but a complex tool. And he that invents a machine augments the power of a man and the well-being of mankind.
You don't argue with a four-year old about why he shouldn't eat candy for dinner. You don't punch a mentally handicapped guy even if he punches you first. And you don't argue when a women tells you she's only making 80 cents to your dollar. It's the path of least resistance. You save your energy for more important battles.
Scott Adams
When we borrow trouble, and look forward into the future and see what storms are coming, and distress ourselves before they come, as to how we shall avert them if they ever do come, we lose our proper trustfulness in God. When we torment ourselves with imaginary dangers, or trials, or reverses, we have already parted with that perfect love which casteth out fear.
Victories that are easy are cheap. Those only are worth having which come as the result of hard fighting.
You can get rich or famous by doing the same thing.
Ang Lee
All words are pegs to hang ideas on.
Work is not a curse, but drudgery is!
As a physician and as a pilot, I think it lets me be a pretty good translator having one foot in the medical world and one foot in the flying world. Sometimes when the medical guys come in and speak medical stuff to the pilots, the pilots really don't know what they're saying.
David M. Brown
In the ordinary business of life, industry can do anything which genius can do, and very many things which it cannot.
I try to just make music that I love, and if I believe in it that's all that matters.
Norah Jones
It is not work that kills men; it is worry. Work is healthy; you can hardly put more upon a man than he can bear. Worry is the rust upon the blade. It is not the revolution which destroys the machinery but the friction. Fear secretes acids; but love and trust are sweet juices
The cool thing about music is no one can take music away from you, writing wise.
Darren Criss
He is rich or poor according to what he is, not according to what he has.
Way down deep, we're all motivated by the same urges. Cats have the courage to live by them.
Jim Davis
Mirth is the sweet wine of human life. It should be offered sparkling with zestful life unto God.
One of the enduring problems with certain societies in the world - and this is certainly true of a lot of places in the Middle East - is that the capacity for self-governance and self-organizing just isn't there. It has to do with history.
P. J. O'Rourke
A Christian is nothing but a sinful man who has put himself to school for Christ for the honest purpose of becoming better.
You know, you only get one family, and you have to make it work.
Tori Spelling
The test of Christian character should be that a man is a joy-bearing agent to the world.
Men fear death as children fear to go in the dark and as that natural fear in children is increased by tales, so is the other.
Francis Bacon
The Church is not a gallery for the exhibition of eminent Christians, but a school for the education of imperfect ones.
The beauty of a woman must be seen from in her eyes, because that is the doorway to her heart, the place where love resides.
Audrey Hepburn
You're not just going out there, maybe sacrificing your own life. There's also sacrifices still going on at home. You can serve in the military and have a good marriage, but you just need to be aware of it so you can take those steps to take care of it.
Chris Kyle
Today's recording techniques would have been regarded as science fiction forty years ago.
Tony Visconti
Writing is a solitary occupation. Family, friends, and society are the natural enemies of the writer. He must be alone, uninterrupted, and slightly savage if he is to sustain and complete an undertaking.
Jessamyn West
I felt so painfully isolated that I vowed I would get revenge on the world by becoming a famous cartoonist.
Robert Crumb
I like to wake up each morning feeling a new man.
Jean Harlow
Australia is a nation of compassion. Courage and compassion. And the third of these great values: resilience.
Kevin Rudd
Failure is not fatal victory is not success.
Tony Richardson
Hearing nuns' confessions is like being stoned to death with popcorn.
Fulton J. Sheen
I did learn one great lesson from a past relationship, and that was to never talk about relationships in print again because I'd rather live my private life than read about it.
Brittany Murphy
The link between my experience as an entrepreneur and that of a politician is all in one word: freedom.
Silvio Berlusconi
If you love those who love you, what credit is that to you? For even sinners love those who love them. And if you do good to those who do good to you, what credit is that to you? For even sinners do the same.
Jesus Christ
If you can change three lives in 10, three lives in a hundred, that's got to be good, hasn't it?
Ian Botham
The irony is, going to work every day became the subject of probably my best poetry.
Philip Levine
The Occupy movement needs an organizing principle, and - just as the Tea Party did - it needs some actual measures of success. Choose one candidate whose agenda is squarely within that of the movement and make his or her electoral success a focal point.
Eliot Spitzer
The idealists will always be in society, and we will survive.
John Zorn
