There can be no tyrants where there are no slaves.
Someone may beat me, but they're going to have to bleed to do it.
Steve Prefontaine
This means that no single logic is strong enough to support the total construction of human knowledge.
Jean Piaget
The long run is what puts the tiger in the cat.
Bill Squires
Phoebus de Chateaupers likewise came to a 'tragic end': he married.
Victor Hugo
The miracle isn't that I finished. The miracle is that I had the courage to start.
John Bingham
America has a relationship with Bobby and Whitney.
Jenifer Lewis
What distinguishes those of us at the starting line from those of us on the couch is that we learn through running to take what the days gives us, what our body will allow us, and what our will can tolerate.
Take the first step in faith. You don't have to see the whole staircase, just take the first step.
Martin Luther King Jr.
As a kid, I was always mad - just noticing the women at Thanksgiving, running around the kitchen, while the men were watching football. For one, I don't want to cook, and for two, I hate football. I was stuck in the middle.
Beth Ditto
A man, whilst he is dreaming, believes in his dream; he is undeceived only when he is awakened from his slumber.
Mahatma Gandhi
Higher education is one of few areas where this country competes with the rest of the world and wins. The best of American higher education outstrips any in the world. Look where the rest of the world goes for higher education, for graduate degrees. They come here.
Donna Shalala
One sees qualities at a distance and defects at close range.
It was on my fifth birthday that Papa put his hand on my shoulder and said, 'Remember, my son, if you ever need a helping hand, you'll find one at the end of your arm.'
Sam Levenson
I like to direct movies, but I don't like to goof around for eight years talking about it.
John Malkovich
I think America becomes more disgruntled by going to the movies and having an endlessly good time at them.
Fiona Shaw
Lord Illingworth: All women become like their mothers. That is their tragedy. Mrs. Allonby: No man does. That is his.
Oscar Wilde
I can't live without my beauty products. I love to be in my bathroom with my candles lit, morning, noon and night. I like taking hot baths and hot showers, using my body scrubs and lotions.
Traci Bingham
If you can't sleep, then get up and do something instead of lying there worrying. It's the worry that gets you, not the lack of sleep.
Dale Carnegie
I'm tired. I'm tired of feeling rejected by the American people. I'm tired of waking up in the middle of the night worrying about the war.
Lyndon B. Johnson
Man is a feeble creature, to whom only submission and worship are besoming. Pride is insolence, and belief in human power is impiety
Bertrand Russell
It is a common experience that a problem difficult at night is resolved in the morning after the committee of sleep has worked on it.
John Steinbeck
It is the mark of a great man that he puts to flight all ordinary calculations. He is at once sublime and touching, childlike and of the race of giants.
Honore de Balzac
Sleeping alone, except under doctor's orders, does much harm. Children will tell you how lonely it is sleeping alone. If possible, you should always sleep with someone you love. You both recharge your mutual batteries free of charge.
Marlene Dietrich, 1962
The fastest way to double your money is to use Cosmic Ordering.
Stephen Richards
Never allow anyone to rain on your parade and thus cast a pall of gloom and defeat on the entire day. Remember that no talent, no self-denial, no brains, no character, are required to set up in the fault-finding business. Nothing external can have any power over you unless you permit it. Your time is too precious to be sacrificed in wasted days combating the menial forces of hate, jealously, and envy. Guard your fragile life carefully. Only God can shape a flower, but any foolish child can pull it to pieces.
Og Mandino
Normally in dangerous situations I have a getaway car.
Sacha Baron Cohen
Then you should have died! Died, rather than betray your friends, as we would have done for you!
J.K. Rowling
The key to the mystery of a great artist is that for reasons unknown, he will give away his energies and his life just to make sure that one note follows another... and leaves us with the feeling that something is right in the world.
Leonard Bernstein
I have such an extreme attitude about work, where I can just completely be derelict of my responsibilities and then when I am not derelict, I am completely indulged in it. I swing pretty wildly from the two extremes.
Geddy Lee
Delirium: You use that word so much. Responsibilities. Do you ever think about what that means? I mean, what does it mean to you? In your head? Dream: Well, I use it to refer that area of existence over which I exert a certain amount of control or influence. In my case, the realm and action of dreaming. Delirium: Hump. It's more than that. The things we do make echoes. S'pose, f'rinstance, you stop on a street corner and admire a brilliant fork of lightning--ZAP! Well for ages after people and things will stop on that very same corner, stare up at the sky. They wouldn't even know what they were looking for. Some of them might see a ghost bolt of lightning in the street. Some of them might even be killed by it. Our existence deforms the universe. THAT'S responsibility.
Neil Gaiman
My mom would have liked it that I patterned myself more after Jimmy Reed.
Jimmy Smith
What this country needs is more people to inspire others with confidence, and fewer people to discourage any initiative in the right direction more to get into the thick of things, fewer to sit on the sidelines, merely finding fault more to point out what's right with the world, and fewer to keep harping on what's wrong with it and more who are interested in lighting candles, and fewer who blow them out.
Father James Keller
I can't say I'm not grateful to have journalists writing about me as a genius. But I know it's not true. I'm not confused. I understand that success comes through a lot of failure and a lot of very embarrassing failure. People want to create the next Facebook, but they are too afraid to create the next Facemash.
Eric Ries
That proves it's not by Shaw, because all Shaw's characters are himself: mere puppets stuck up to spout Shaw.
George Bernard Shaw
Do not quench your inspiration and your imagination; do not become the slave of your model.
Vincent Van Gogh
A candle loses nothing by lighting another candle.
Like all young reporters - brilliant or hopelessly incompetent - I dreamed of the glamorous life of the foreign correspondent: prowling Vienna in a Burberry trench coat, speaking a dozen languages to dangerous women, narrowly escaping Sardinian bandits - the usual stuff that newspaper dreams are made of.
Russell Baker
The stupidity of a stupid man is mercifully intimate and reticient, while the stupidity of an intellectual is cried from the rooftops.
Peter Ustinov, Dear Me
Letting go means to come to the realization that some people are a part of your history, but not a part of your destiny.
Steve Maraboli
It is not always easy to diagnose. The simplest form of stupidity - the mumbling, nose-picking, stolid incomprehension - can be detected by anyone. But the stupidity which disguises itself as thought, and which talks so glibly and eloquently, indeed never stops talking, in every walk of life is not so easy to identify, because it marches under a formidable name, which few dare attack. It is called Popular Opinion...
Robertson Davies, Can a Doctor B
