I was brought up in the War. I was an adolescent in the Second World War. And I did witness in London a great deal of the Blitz.
The genius of our ruling class is that it has kept a majority of the people from ever questioning the inequity of a system where most people drudge along, paying heavy taxes for which they get nothing in return.
Gore Vidal
Be kind, for everyone you meet is fighting a hard battle.
Philo
Musicians are probably the most uncomfortable people in themselves in the world. Happiness, I think, only exists when you're a child and once you go past 11, unfortunately it's gone.
Andrea Corr
Households, cities, countries, and nations have enjoyed great happiness when a single individual has taken heed of the Good and Beautiful. Such people not only liberate themselves; they fill those they meet with a free mind.
My goal is to get another 30 years out of this business. So I need to figure out the fuel to do that. And so far, I think it's respect and quality and company, not celebrity or box office or stardom. It's not a sprinter's approach. It's more like a long-distance thing. You can stick around a lot longer if you kind of slow-play it.
Jason Bateman
Married love between man and woman is bigger than oaths guarded by right of nature.
Aeschylus
Learn to adjust yourself to the conditions you have to endure, but make a point of trying to alter or correct conditions so that they are most favorable to you.
William Frederick Book
Most schools have only a microwave or deep fryer, hardly the tools needed to feed our children real, fresh food.
Mark Hyman
In the course of my life, I have often had to eat my words, and I must confess that I have always found it a wholesome diet.
Winston Churchill
Humanity has passed through a long history of one-sidedness and of a social condition that has always contained the potential of destruction, despite its creative achievements in technology. The great project of our time must be to open the other eye: to see all-sidedly and wholly, to heal and transcend the cleavage between humanity and nature that came with early wisdom.
Murray Bookchin
Success has nothing to do with what you gain in life or accomplish for yourself. It's what you do for others.
Danny Thomas
In our own time we have seen domination spread over the social landscape to a point where it is beyond all human control. Compared to this stupendous mobilization of materials, of wealth, of human intellect, of human labor for the single goal of domination, all other recent human achievements pale to almost trivial significance. Our art, science, medicine, literature, music and charitable acts seem like mere droppings from a table on which gory feasts on the spoils of conquest have engaged the attention of a system whose appetite for rule is utterly unrestrained.
To nourish children and raise them against odds is in any time, any place, is more valuable than to fix bolts in cars or design nuclear weapons.
Marilyn French
People are never free of trying to be content.
The true beauty of music is that it connects people. It carries a message, and we, the musicians, are the messengers.
Roy Ayers
The most effective way to achieve right relations with any living thing is to look for the best in it, and then help that best into the fullest expression.

Isabel Lucas
The only sense that is common in the long run, is the sense of change and we all instinctively avoid it.
E. B. White
I have never been lost, but I will admit to being confused for several weeks.
A religious person is devout in the sense that he has no doubt about the significance of those superpersonal objects and goals which neither require nor are capable of rational foundation
Albert Einstein
I am definitely going to take a course on time management... just as soon as I can work it into my schedule.
Louis E. Boone
We are learning more about the humanity of the unborn child. Science and truth support the prolife movement.
Candice S. Miller
The true measure of success is how many times you can bounce back from failure.
Stephen Richards
When you get married you forget about kissing other women.
Pat Boone
Think about all the great leaders. Think about Obama. Think about Clinton. Think about Nelson Mandela. Think about all the people that we know who are very successful in business, in politics and religion. What are they? They tell purposeful stories. They move people to action by aiming at the heart.
Peter Guber
Have you learned the lessons only of those who admired you, and were tender with you, and stood aside for you? Have you not learned great lessons from those who braced themselves against you, and disputed passage with you?
Walt Whitman
What is passion? It is surely the becoming of a person. Are we not, for most of our lives, marking time? Most of our being is at rest, unlived. In passion, the body and the spirit seek expression outside of self. Passion is all that is other from self. Sex is only interesting when it releases passion. The more extreme and the more expressed that passion is, the more unbearable does life seem without it. It reminds us that if passion dies or is denied, we are partly dead and that soon, come what may, we will be wholly so.
John Boorman
With such a worshipping wife, it was hardly possible that any natural defects in it should not be increased. The extreme sweetness of her temper must hurt his.
Jane Austen
If human beings are fundamentally good, no government is necessary if they are fundamentally bad, any government, being composed of human beings, would be bad also.
Fred Woodworth
We are made for larger ends than Earth can encompass. Oh, let us be true to our exalted destiny.
Catherine Booth
Change is inevitable. Change is constant.
Benjamin Disraeli
How would your life be different if...you had a plan of action towards your goals? Let today be the day...You stop allowing your days to be stolen by busy nothingness and take calculated steps towards your goals.
Steve Maraboli
I think my first album opened a lot of doors for me to push the freedom of speech to the limit.
Eminem
It is not how many years we live, but rather what we do with them.
Evangeline Cory Booth
Inflation is determined by money supply growth.
Roger Bootle
Happiness is that state of consciousness which proceeds from the achievement of one's values.
Ayn Rand
Let us tenderly and kindly cherish, therefore, the means of knowledge. Let us dare to read, think, speak, and write.
John Adams
My greatest point is my persistence. I never give up in a match. However down I am, I fight until the last ball. My list of matches shows that I have turned a great many so-called irretrievable defeats into victories.
