You have to believe in your process. You have to believe in the things that you are doing to help the team win. I think you have to take the good with the bad.
Children being children, however, the grotesque Hopping Pot had taken hold of their imaginations. The solution was to jettison the pro-Muggle moral but keep the warty cauldron, so by the middle of the sixteenth century a different version of the tale was in wide circulation among wizarding families. In the revised story, the Hopping Pot protects an innocent wizard from his torch-bearing, pitchfork-toting neighbours by chasing them away from the wizard's cottage, catching them and swallowing them whole.
J.K. Rowling
My turn of mind is so given to taking things in the absurd point of view, that it breaks out in spite of me every now and then.
Lord (George Gordon) Byron
Of all the barbarous middle ages, that which is most barbarous is the middle age of man! it is -- I really scarce know what; but when we hover between fool and sage, and don't know justly what we would be at -- a period something like a printed page, black letter upon foolscap, while our hair grows grizzled, and we are not what we were.
I've learnt that through life you just get on with it. You're going to meet a lot of dishonest people along the line and you say good luck to them. I hope they live in comfort. Then I start sticking more pins in their effigies.
Roger Moore
Moralists and philosophers have adjudged those who throw temptation in the way of the erring, equally guilty with those who are thereby led into evil
Mark Twain
It's the opinion of some that crops could be grown on the moon which raises the fear that it may not be long before we're paying somebody not to.
Franklin P. Jones
My time has been passed viciously and agreeably; at thirty-one so few years months days hours or minutes remain that Carpe Diem is not enough. I have been obliged to crop even the seconds -- for who can trust to tomorrow?
We cannot evoke the true spirit of sacrifice and velour, so long as we are not free. I know the British Government will not be able to withhold freedom from us, when we have made enough self-sacrifice. We must, therefore, purge ourselves of hatred.
Mahatma Gandhi
A lady of a certain age, which means certainly aged.
Writing is my obsession, my passion. My relationship with it is one of the most complex and agonizing and richly vexing that I have in my life.
Julianna Baggott
I always looked to about thirty as the barrier of any real or fierce delight in the passions, and determined to work them out in the younger ore and better veins of the mine --and I flatter myself (perhaps) that I have pretty well done so --and now the dross is coming.
I shall soon be six-and-twenty. Is there anything in the future that can possibly console us for not being always twenty-five?
It was one of the deadliest and heaviest feelings of my life to feel that I was no longer a boy. From that moment I began to grow old in my own esteem --and in my esteem age is not estimable.
They say Yogi Berra is funny. Well, he has a lovely wife and family, a beautiful home, money in the bank, and he plays golf with millionaires. What's funny about that?
Casey Stengel
It is very iniquitous to make me pay my debts -- you have no idea of the pain it gives one.
It's such a diversion to be constantly thinking of better ways I can teach people math that my hunger is for that really, for new ways of translating the beauty of it.
Danica McKellar
Thy decay's still impregnate with divinity.
Only a government that is rich and safe can afford to be a democracy, for democracy is the most expensive and nefarious kind of government ever heard of on earth.
All claims of education notwithstanding, the pupil will accept only that which his mind craves.
Emma Goldman
I stood among them, but not of them; in a shroud of thoughts which were not their thoughts.
With the way everything's going now and the way that technology is going, you can do a lot of things with a lot of different new materials.
Carmelo Anthony
He loved books; books are cold but safe friends.
Victor Hugo
He scratched his ear, the infallible resource to which embarrassed people have recourse.
Few things are more satisfying than seeing your children have teenagers of their own.
Doug Larson
A thousand years may scare form a state. An hour may lay it in ruins.
I owe all my originality, such as it is, to my determination not to be a literary man. Instead of belonging to a literary club I belong to a municipal council. Instead of drinking and discussing authors and reviews, I sit on committees with capable practical greengrocers and bootmakers... Keep away from books and from men who get their ideas from books, and your own books will always be fresh.
George Bernard Shaw
Prolonged endurance tames the bold.
Unless you know where you are going then you will not know how to get there.
Stephen Richards
The capacity for not feeling lonely can carry a very real price, that of feeling nothing at all.
Doug Coupland
If you had told me at 45 years old that I would have to go on tour to get rest, I would've said, 'That's not how it works.' But nothing can be more gratifying. I'm a very hands-on dad.
Chris Robinson
In music the passions enjoy themselves.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Posterity will never survey a nobler grave than this: here lie the bones of Castlereagh: stop, traveler, and piss.
Only by learning to live in harmony with your contradictions can you keep it all afloat.
Audre Lorde
Your letter of excuses has arrived. I receive the letter but do not admit the excuses except in courtesy, as when a man treads on your toes and begs your pardon -- the pardon is granted, but the joint aches, especially if there is a corn upon it.
Doctors will have more lives to answer for in the next world than even we generals.
Napoleon Bonaparte
It is useless to tell one not to reason but to believe --you might as well tell a man not to wake but sleep.
Sometimes even to live is an act of courage.
Lucius Annaeus Seneca
The wise man does not expose himself needlessly to danger, since there are few things for which he cares sufficiently; but he is willing, in great crises, to give even his life - knowing that under certain conditions it is not worthwhile to live.
Aristotle
I awoke one morning and found myself famous.
I think every person has their own identity and beauty. Everyone being different is what is really beautiful. If we were all the same, it would be boring.
