The block of granite which was an obstacle in the pathway of the weak becomes a stepping-stone in the pathway of the strong.
Remember me with smiles and laughter, for that is how I will remember you all. If you can only remember me with tears, then don't remember me at all.
Laura Ingalls Wilder
None of my characters are rich or famous, and the situations they find themselves in could happen to anyone.
Nicholas Sparks
But he is unworthy the name of a minister of the gospel of peace, who is unwilling, not only to have his name cast out as evil, but also to die for the truths of the Lord Jesus.
George Whitefield
For the first time in his life, a teacher was pointing out things that Ender had not already seen for himself. For the first time, Ender had found a living mind he could admire.
Orson Scott Card
Indolence is sweet, and its consequence bitter.
Voltaire
If you were successful, somebody along the line gave you some help... Somebody helped to create this unbelievable American system that we have that allowed you to thrive. Somebody invested in roads and bridges. If you've got a business - you didn't build that. Somebody else made that happen.
Barack Obama
The present representative of the Dedlocks is an excellent master. He supposes all his dependents to be utterly bereft of individual characters, intentions, or opinions, and is persuaded that he was born to supersede the necessity of their having any. If he were to make a discovery to the contrary, he would be simply stunned would never recover himself, most likely, except to gasp and die.
Charles Dickens
Open the way before the new government to prove that it is for serving the people.
Muqtada al Sadr

Cassandra Clare
To him, man was a being with myriad lives and myriad sensations, a complex multiform creature that bore within itself strange legacies of thought and passion, and whose very flesh was tainted with the monstrous maladies of the dead.
Oscar Wilde
I will not be tamed, only persuaded. I will not be coerced or led blindly or tricked or bullied - I am willing only to be convinced. If you don't trust your own basic goodness enough to tell me what you're trying to do... Then you're confessing your own moral weakness and I'll never serve you.
All intellectual improvement arises from leisure
Samuel Johnson
I only travel to good material, a good director and a good company. I won't work in another country for a year any longer, because I have a lovely wife and I adore her and I can't bear to be away from her.
Jim Dale
I am not the kind of girl who can trust a theory based on one person.
Brigitte Boisselier
Religion brings to man an inner strength, spiritual light, and ineffable peace.
Alexis Carrel
To be able to fill leisure intelligently is the last product of civilization, and at present very few people have reached this level.
Bertrand Russell
I grew up a Red Sox fan. I grew up going to Fenway Park and the Museum of Fine Arts and the Science Museum and Symphony Hall and going to the Common, walking around. My whole family at different times lived and worked in Boston.
James Spader
I can see why people find him [Hugo Chávez] charming. He's very ebullient, as they say. I've heard him make a speech, though, and he has a vice that's always very well worth noticing because it's always a bad sign: he doesn't know when to sit down. He's worse than Castro was. He won't shut up. Then he told me that he didn't think the United States landed on the moon and didn't believe in the existence of Osama bin Laden. He thought all of this was all a put-up job. He's a wacko.
Christopher Hitchens
Let mental culture go on advancing, let the natural sciences progress in even greater extent and depth, and the human mind widen itself as much as it desires: beyond the elevation and moral culture of Christianity, as it shines forth in the Gospels, it will not go.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
We used to play the underground clubs like the UFO, and Middle Earth, and they were great because they would have on things like a poet, string quartets, and then a rock band! It was kinda cool!
Alvin Lee
Relief loosens tongues beyond measure.
Stephen King
No one's ever achieved financial fitness with a January resolution that's abandoned by February.
Suze Orman
My biggest regret is putting my body through fad diets - Atkins, cleanses, the hCG diet.
Jennie Garth
Hatred is settled anger.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
And of course, identifying all human genes and proteins will have great medical significance.
Daniel Nathans
Care less for your harvest than for how it is shared and your life will have meaning and your heart will have peace.
Kent Nerburn
Perhaps we don't need these religious concoctions to pillow the fear of death. Just the fact that there is an unknown, and something greater, can bring a feeling of peace. That's enough for me.
Brad Pitt
The family teaches us about the importance of knowledge, education, hard work and effort. It teaches us about enjoying ourselves, having fun, keeping fit and healthy.
Kamisese Mara
Everything comes in time to him who knows how to wait.
Leo Tolstoy
I think that the Information Age is great, but there's a downside to it obviously as well, and it's that false information can be perpetuated so quickly. And it's sad that so many people will believe it.
Josh Hopkins
Of course, I'd like to produce and direct a blockbuster, but you gotta build up to that. So now I'm learning from a bunch of little movies. And it's more fun with smaller pictures. It's more creative.
Lea Thompson
Letters are no matter of indifference; they are generally a very positive curse.
Jane Austen
There are so many things I can't believe. That people deserve what they get, both bad and good. That one day I'll live in a world where people are judged by what they do instead of who they are. That happy endings don't have contingencies and conditions.
Jodi Picoult
If you take responsibility for yourself you will develop a hunger to accomplish your dreams.
Les Brown
If you align your vibrations and frequencies with those things you desire, you will acquire them.
Stephen Richards
Because politics rests on an irreducible measure of coercion, it can never become a perfect realm of perfect love and justice.
Christopher Lasch
Because all my life I've learned to suffer in silence - Athena
Paulo Coelho
He who is void of virtuous attachments in private life is, or very soon will be, void of all regard for his country. There is seldom an instance of a man guilty of betraying his country, who had not before lost the feeling of moral obligations in his private connections.
Samuel Adams
If you hold a cat by the tail you learn things you cannot learn any other way.
Mark Twain
Many museums are drawing audiences with art that is ostensibly more entertaining than stuff that just sits and invites contemplation. Interactivity, gizmos, eating, hanging out, things that make noise - all are now the norm, often edging out much else.
