What you don't know can't hurt you .
There are similarities between absolute power and absolute faith: a demand for absolute obedience, a readiness to attempt the impossible, a bias for simple solutionsto cut the knot rather than unravel it, the viewing of compromise as surrender. Both absolute power and absolute faith are instruments of dehumanization. Hence, absolute faith corrupts as absolutely as absolute power.
Eric Hoffer

Arabella Weir
Labor is the instituted means for the methodical development of all our powers under the direction and control of the will.
I want to light the lights of patriotism.
Lech Walesa
People break down after a couple of hours. All the defenses go down, and there's a kind of communication that if I spent 20 years in a living room with one of these people, I would never, never know as much about them as I do in that one day.
Lee Grant
The gays like 'Project Runway' because it's a fashion, and the gays are into fashion and into design. It's a creative industry, and most of the gays are pretty creative, in general. That's just like the culture. We're not all into politics necessarily. We're more into the creative environment. I also think Heidi is a big draw. The boys love Heidi and think she's so fabulous. I just think it's a glitzy, fun show, and there are also always lots of gay boys on it, and, you know, that's fun.
Christian Siriano
Every nation has to either be with us, or against us. Those who harbor terrorists, or who finance them, are going to pay a price.

Hubert H. Humphrey
Life is painting a picture, not doing a sum.
Oliver Wendell Holmes, Jr.
While you're improvising, you may come up with something which will break him up. As soon as that smile comes out, you know that, hey, we're having fun.

Women are always most observed when they seem themselves least to observe, or to lay out for observation.

William Makepeace Thackeray
I used food as a coping mechanism for many, many years, and it was my best friend for a long time.
Carnie Wilson
A grandchild is a miracle, but a renewed relationship with your own children is even a greater one.
T. Berry Brazelton
I would love to work with Paolo Nutini because he is so soulful and an amazing songwriter.
Birdy
For the life of me, I don't understand what honest motive there is in putting this in front of this body to philosophically debate marriage on a constitutional amendment that is not going to happen, and which is enormously divisive in all of our communities.
Dianne Feinstein
Well, unfortunately, I have always regretted the fact that I have a temper, but I also have, you know, have great love and respect for all of the people that have worked for me. I think like everything else, this is one of those things that has been blown out of proportion.
Norman Schwarzkopf
If you do not ask the right questions, you do not get the right answers. A question asked in the right way often points to its own answer. Asking questions is the A-B-C of diagnosis. Only the inquiring mind solves problems.

I just need enough to tide me over until I need more.
Bill Hoest
I may have faults, but being wrong ain't one of them.

One feels very blessed to be born into a family like the Birla family, which is a household name in India, which stands for tradition, is yet contemporary, stands for trust.
Kumar Mangalam Birla
I envy people who can just look at a sunset. I wonder how you can shoot it. There is nothing more grotesque to me than a vacation.
Through the years of experience I have found that air offers less resistance than dirt.
