I don't wait for moods. You accomplish nothing if you do that. Your mind must know it has got to get down to work.
To me, living in the present means being aware of your conscious choice to focus on the past, present or future - it is not necessarily having to focus on the present.
Bo Bennett

And across Afghanistan, every single day, Afghan soldiers, Afghan police and ISAF troops are serving shoulder-to-shoulder in some very difficult situations. And our engagement with them, our shoulder-to-shoulder relationship with them, our conduct of operations with them every single day defines the real relationship.
John R. Allen

The harder the conflict, the more glorious the triumph.
Thomas Paine

William Shakespeare
He who has God and everything else has no more than he who has God only.
C.S. Lewis
I know my country has not perfected itself. At times, we've struggled to keep the promise of liberty and equality for all of our people. We've made our share of mistakes, and there are times when our actions around the world have not lived up to our best intentions.
Barack Obama
I believe that ignorance is the root of all evil. And that no one knows the truth.
Molly Ivins
I didn't have any success in show business until I was 30 to 31 years of age.
Adam Carolla

Boris Pasternak
My son is now an 'entrepreneur.' That's what you're called when you don't have a job.
Ted Turner
What We want is to make it possible for our unfortunate people to live a life of industry for it is by steady work alone that we hope for our physical and moral rehabilitation. For this reason above all we have undertaken to rally our people around our ideal.
Theodor Herzl
The reason why you know more funny dudes than funny chicks is that dudes are funnier than chicks. If my daughter has a mediocre sense of humor, I'm just gonna tell her, 'Be a staff writer for a sitcom. Because they'll have to hire you, they can't really fire you, and you don't have to produce that much. It'll be awesome.'
History has not dealt kindly with the aftermath of protracted periods of low risk premiums.
Alan Greenspan

Oliver Joseph Lodge
Energy, energy? Energy is, is, it's nothing more than a lot of new age hokum masquerading as religion.
Tony Wilson
I tell my students, it's not difficult to identify with somebody like yourself, somebody next door who looks like you. What's more difficult is to identify with someone you don't see, who's very far away, who's a different color, who eats a different kind of food. When you begin to do that then literature is really performing its wonders.
Chinua Achebe
It's not like I sit around watching my movies again and again, but I've never quite believed actors when they say they don't watch themselves.
Kristen Stewart
We are supposed to enjoy the good stuff now, while we can, with the people we love. Life has a funny way of teaching us that lesson over and over again.
Sheena Easton
From caring comes courage.
Lao Tzu
I'm not blaming my mom for my life because I am responsible for me, and nobody can change me or ruin me easier than I can.
Mindy McCready
The idea that leisure is of value in itself is only conditionally true. The average man simply spends his leisure as a dog spends it. His recreations are all puerile, and the time supposed to benefit him really only stupefies him.
H. L. Mencken
We seek to create a united Democratic and non-racial society.
Oliver Tambo
I believe in only one thing: liberty; but I do not believe in liberty enough to want to force it upon anyone.
The truth that survives is simply the lie that is pleasantest to believe.
Lying is not only excusable; it is not only innocent; it is, above all, necessary and unavoidable. Without the ameliorations that it offers, life would become a mere syllogism and hence too metallic to be borne.
Life is a dead-end street.
There are many things we do not want about the world. Let us not just mourn them. Let us change them.
Ferdinand Marcos
Love is the delusion that one man or woman differs from another.
There are two insults no human being will endure: that he has no sense of humor, and that he has never known trouble.
Sinclair Lewis
To be in love is merely to be in a perpetual state of anesthesia.
True science is never speculative it employs hypotheses as suggesting points for inquiry, but it never adopts the hypotheses as though they were demonstrated propositions.
Cleveland Abbe
Failure is the key to success each mistake teaches us something.
Morihei Ueshiba
Being a celebrity you always get really good seats to sporting events but you never get as good seats as the photographers get. And I really love sports. So one of the scams I have going now is I want to learn sports photography so I can get better seats at a sporting event.
