My children are the reason I laugh, smile and want to get up every morning.
I heard the old, old, men say 'all that's beautiful drifts away, like the waters.'
William Butler Yeats
A dream becomes a goal when action is taken toward its achievement.
Bo Bennett
I don't believe the most successful people are the ones who got the best grades, got into the best schools, or made the most money.
Ben Stein
Oh! might I kiss those eyes of fire,A million scarce would quench desire; Still would I steep my lips in bliss, And dwell an age on every kiss; Nor then my soul should sated be, Still would I kiss and cling to thee: Nought should my kiss from thine dissever, Still would we kiss and kiss for ever; E'en though the numbers did exceed The yellow harvest's countless seed; To part would be a vain endeavour: Could I desist?--ah! never--never.
Lord (George Gordon) Byron, Imit
They use all of the music that I did in the '50s, '60s and the '70s behind people like Tupac and LL Cool J. I'm into all that stuff.
Donald Byrd
Give me a thousand kisses, then a hundred, Then another thousand, then a second hundred, Then still another thousand, then a hundred, Then, when weda mi basia mille, deinde centum, dein mille altera, dein secunda centum, dein cum milia multa fecerimus conturbabimus illa ne sciamus
Catullus, Poem V, the kissing po
I've got to be high class... Which is sad, because I like bars.
Daniel Craig
I've never been much of a computer guy at least in terms of playing with computers. Actually until I was about 11 I didn't use a computer for preparing for games at all. I was playing a bit online, was using the chess club mainly. Now, obviously, the computer is an important tool for me preparing for my games.
Magnus Carlsen
If you think about disaster, you will get it. Brood about death and you hasten your demise. Think positively and masterfully, with confidence and faith, and life becomes more secure, more fraught with action, richer in achievement and experience.
Edward Rickenbacker
Newspaper people, once celebrated as founts of ribald humor and uncouth fun, have of late lost all their gaiety, and small wonder.
Russell Baker
Custom is our nature. What are our natural principles but principles of custom?
Blaise Pascal
Thought, like all potent weapons, is exceedingly dangerous if mishandled. Clear thinking is therefore desirable not only in order to develop the full potentialities of the mind, but also to avoid disaster.
Giles St. Aubyn
I always think, when there's stuff that people don't like, I always say that if I have another success, I'll enjoy it more, but you don't really.
Danny Boyle
It is melancholy to reflect that Mankind has suffered more from ill-judged philanthropy than from calculated malice. The road to Hell is no less harrowing for being paved with good intentions.
Giles St. Aubyn, biography of Ki
Well, I believe that the depth of your struggle can determine the height of your success. I was inspired to come out of everything I've been through and end up in a place where I never thought that I would be.
R. Kelly

My dear, descended from the apes! Let us hope it is not true, but if it is, let us pray it will not become generally known.In 1860 the famous duel between T.H. Huxley and Bishop Wilberforce took place, and the wife of the bishop of Worcester is reported to have said this in reaction to hearing Darwin

I hope and hoping feeds my pain I weep and weeping feeds my failing heartI laugh but the laughter does not pass withinI burn but the burning makes no mark outside
Niccolo Machiavelli, Machiavelli
People try much less hard to make a marriage work than they used to fifty years ago. Divorce is easier.
Mary Wesley
In describing the Mound-builders no effort has been made to paint their costume, their modes of life or their system of government. They are presented to the reader almost exclusively under a single aspect, and under the influence of a single emotion. It matters not to us whether they dwelt under a monarchical or popular form of polity; whether king or council ruled their realms; nor, in fine, what was their exact outward condition. It is enough for us to know, and enough for our humanity to inquire, that they existed, toiled, felt and suffered; that to them fell, in these pleasant regions, their portion of the common heritage of our race, and that around those ancient hearth-stones, washed to light on the banks of the far western rivers, once gossiped and enjoyed life, a nation that has utterly faded away.http://olivercowdery.com/texts/1839Mat1.htm

Socrates
Excellence is not a singular act, but a habit. You are what you repeatedly do.N.B. This quotation is a paraphrase of a much older quote by Aristotle, which see.
Shaquille O'Neal
The surest sign that intelligent life exists elsewhere in the universe is that it has never tried to contact us.
Bill Watterson
In the absence of love, there is nothing worth fighting for.
Elijah Wood
The 10,000 Hour Rule - All of us have some measure of greatness within us. But it has to be cultivated. It takes hours of hard work, usually about 10,000 hours, especially when one is young.

Hell is full of good intentions or desires.
St. Bernard of Clairvaux
If you think technology can solve your security problems, then you don't understand the problems and you don't understand the technology.
Bruce Schneier
Hell is full of good meanings and wishings.
George Herbert, Jacula Prudentum
All are free to believe or not believe all are free to practice a faith or not. But those who believe must be free to speak of and act on their belief.
Jeff Miller
No matter how full a reservoir of maxims one may possess, and no matter how good one's sentiments may be, if one have not taken advantage of every concrete opportunity to act, one's character may remain entirely unaffected for the better. With good intentions, hell proverbially is paved.http://www.emory.edu/EDUCATION/mfp/tt8.html

It helps immerse yourself in what you potentially want to do. Being involved, learning firsthand and observing the craft and absorbing all you can, makes it easier to define what you want. It will also ultimately make you a better Chef. Culinary school, or even a single class, is a great bet too.
Giada De Laurentiis
Grant me an old man's frenzy, Myself must I remakeTill I am Timon and LearOr that William BlakeWho beat upon the wallTill Truth obeyed his call;A mind Michael Angelo knewThat can pierce the clouds,Or inspired by frenzyShake the dead in their shrouds;Forgotten else by mankind,An old man's eagle mind.

I believe there are more instances of the abridgement of freedom of the people by gradual and silent encroachments by those in power than by violent and sudden usurpations.
James Madison
I am only one, But still I am one.I cannot do everything,But still I can do something;And because I cannot do everythingI will not refuse to do the something that I can do.
Edward Everett Hale, Lend a Hand
