'If you believe, you can achieve' - that's my motto!
The truth is that parents are not really interested in justice. They just want quiet.
Bill Cosby
Do not pray for easy lives. Pray to be stronger men. Do not pray for tasks equal to your powers. Pray for powers equal to your tasks.
Phillips Brooks
To me, movies and music go hand in hand. When I'm writing a script, one of the first things I do is find the music I'm going to play for the opening sequence.
Quentin Tarantino
We may not be all that bright, Jace said, but at least we are alive.
Cassandra Clare
I do not pray for a lighter load, but for a stronger back.
Charity should begin at home, but should not stay there.
When I consider that the nobler animal have been exterminated here - the cougar, the panther, lynx, wolverine, wolf, bear, moose, dear, the beaver, the turkey and so forth and so forth, I cannot but feel as if I lived in a tamed and, as it were, emasculated country... Is it not a maimed and imperfect nature I am conversing with? As if I were to study a tribe of Indians that had lost all it's warriors...I take infinite pains to know all the phenomena of the spring, for instance, thinking that I have here the entire poem, and then, to my chagrin, I hear that it is but an imperfect copy that I possess and have read, that my ancestors have torn out many of the first leaves and grandest passages, and mutilated it in many places. I should not like to think that some demigod had come before me and picked out some of the best of the stars. I wish to know an entire heaven and an entire earth.
Henry David Thoreau
The four of us couldn't have made a record with the time left over when we were shooting the show. We were on stage from 7.30 in the morning 'til 7 at night. Later on, when there was a break from filming, and we were sick of doing it the old way.
Peter Tork
A prayer in its simplest definition is merely a wish turned Godward.
The reactionary is always willing to take a progressive attitude on any issue that is dead.
Theodore Roosevelt
My mom's passionate and energetic and very funny and enthusiastic.
Eric Stonestreet
Self-confidence is either a petty pride in our own narrowness, or the realization of our duty and privilege as God's children.
In three words I can sum up everything I've learned about life: it goes on.
Robert Frost
No man has come to true greatness who has not felt that his life belongs to his race, and that which God gives to him, He gives him for mankind.
San Francisco is a mad city - inhabited for the most part by perfectly insane people whose women are of a remarkable beauty.
Rudyard Kipling
I really, really love Hilary Clinton. I think she's very cool. She's out there and she's involved.
Sandra Bernhard
To thine own self be true, and it must follow, as the night the day, thou canst not then be false to any man.
William Shakespeare
Dreadful will be the day when the world becomes contented, when one great universal satisfaction spreads itself over the world. Sad will be the day for every man when he becomes absolutely contented with the life that he is living, with the thoughts that he is thinking, with the deeds that he is doing, when there is not forever beating at the doors of his soul some great desire to do something larger which he knows that he was meant and made to do because he is a child of God.
Little minds have little worries, big minds have no time for worries.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
It's cool to be recognised by your peers.
Frank Ocean
One swallow does not make a summer, nor does one day; and so too one day, or a short time, does not make a man blessed and happy.
Aristotle
God hears no more than the heart speaks; and if the heart be dumb, God will certainly be deaf.
Thomas Brooks
We have arrived at that point of time in which we are forced to see our own humiliation, as a nation, and that a progression in this line cannot be a productive of happiness, private or public.
Henry Knox
From '86 until the summer of last year, wherever I went, people would say, You would have made a great James Bond! Weren't you going to be James Bond? You should have been, you could have been, you may have been. Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes. It was like unfinished business in my life. I couldn't say no to it this time around.
Pierce Brosnan
Nobel Prize money is a lifebelt thrown to a swimmer who has already reached the shore in safety.
George Bernard Shaw
It has always felt like a failure that Bjorn and I couldn't keep our family together. You never get it back, but to this day I don't regret splitting up. The reason behind our separation is one of those things I definitely don't want to go into!
Agnetha Faltskog
You don't always get what you ask for, but you never get what you don't ask for... unless it's contagious!
Franklyn Broude
Take time to deliberate, but when the time for action has arrived, stop thinking and go in.
Napoleon Bonaparte
It isn't what you know that counts, it's what you think of in time.
Benjamin Franklin
It's a different outlook, and one that I understand. When you are a former member of the Warsaw Pact, when you have lived behind the Berlin Wall, when you have experienced the communist systems that existed in these countries, for them, the West represents hope.
Jean-Pierre Raffarin
A lawyer is a gentlemen that rescues your estate from your enemies and then keeps it to himself.
Lord Henry P. Brougham
Go ye, who rest so placidly upon the sacred Bard who had been young, and when he strung his harp was old, and had never seen the righteous forsaken, or his seed begging their bread; go, Teachers of content and honest pride, into the mine, the mill, the forge, the squalid depths of deepest ignorance, and uttermost abyss of man's neglect, and say can any hopeful plant spring up in air so foul that it extinguishes the soul's bright torch as fast as it is kindled!
Charles Dickens
Joy, rather than happiness, is the goal of life, for joy is the emotion which accompanies our fulfilling our natures as human beings. It is based on the experience of one's identity as a being of worth and dignity.
Rollo May
It is well to read everything of something, and something of everything.
Democracy is a pathetic belief in the collective wisdom of individual ignorance.
H. L. Mencken
One ought always to lie, when one can do good by it;
Mark Twain
Israelis can be proud of the vibrant democracy that they have created, and I know that many Rhode Islanders share my deep appreciation for the close friendship between our two nations.
Lincoln Chafee
The only limits are, as always, those of vision.
James Broughton
God does not die on the day when we cease to believe in a personal deity, but we die on the day when our lives cease to be illumined by the steady radiance, renewed daily, of a wonder, the source of which is beyond all reason.
Dag Hammarskjold
Few people are successful unless a lot of other people want them to be.
