I don't have to wait until the next morning to regret something I did that was kinda dumb.
I feel there should have been some recognition of the Spice Girls at this year's 25th anniversary. We flew the flag for Britain around the globe in the 1990s and we achieved a hell of a lot.
Melanie Chisholm
While we have the gift of life, it seems to me the only tragedy is to allow part of us to die - whether it is our spirit, our creativity or our glorious uniqueness.
Gilda Radner
I have always believed that I should have had no difficulty in causing my rights to be respected.
Eli Whitney
Dreams can come true.
Lil' Romeo
Most of these people who are celebrities now don't do anything to deserve it, so by that fact alone, I don't want to be one.
will.i.am
I must be careful not to get trapped in the past. That's why I tend to forget my songs.
Mick Jagger
A complainer is like a Death Eater because there's a suction of negative energy. You can catch a great attitude from great people.
Barbara Corcoran
So long as you've got your friends about you, and a good positive attitude, you don't really have to care what everyone else thinks.
Gail Porter
For those who have come here illegally, they might have a transition time to allow them to set their affairs in order. And then go back home and get in line with everybody else. And if they get in line and they apply to become a citizen and get a green card, they will be treated like everybody else.
Mitt Romney
Don't be afraid in nature: one must be bold, at the risk of having been deceived and making mistakes.
Camille Pissarro
Everything in life that we really accept undergoes a change.
Katherine Mansfield
I believe that Gandhi was correct. Non-violent civil disobedience is the only way to bring about change that allows people to enjoy the change and not get killed in the process.
Edward James Olmos
I was so opposed to the war in Vietnam that I initially refused President Nixon's urgings for me to go there.
Sammy Davis, Jr.
There's always something funny about men chasing women.
David Spade
Upon the Constitution, upon the pre-existing legal rights of the People, as understood in this country and in England, I have argued that this House is bound to revive the Petition under debate.
Caleb Cushing
Any life, no matter how long and complex it may be, is made up of a single moment - the moment in which a man finds out, once and for all, who he is.
Jorge Luis Borges
In truth, the Library includes all verbal structures, all variations permitted by the twenty-five orthographical symbols, but not a single example of absolute nonsense.
They go too far because they do not reflect what personality is. Just as words have two functions - information and creation - so each human mind has two personalities, one on the surface, one deeper down. The upper personality has a name. . . . It is conscious and alert, it does things like dining out, answering letters, etc., and it differs vividly and amusingly from other personalities. The lower personality is a very queer affair. In many ways it is a perfect fool, but without it there is no literature, because unless a man dips a bucket down into it occasionally he cannot produce first-class work. There is something general about it. Although it is inside S. T. Coleridge, it cannot be labelled with his name. It has something in common with all other deeper personalities, and the mystic will assert that the common quality is God, and that here, in the obscure recesses of our being, we near the gates of the Divine. It is in any case the force that makes for anonymity. As it came from the depths, so it soars to the heights, out of local questionings; as it is general to all men, so the works it inspires have something general about them, namely beauty. The poet wrote the poem no doubt, but he forgot himself while he wrote it, and we forget him while we read. What is so wonderful about great literature is that it transforms the man who reads it towards the condition of the man who wrote, and brings to birth in us also the creative impulse. Lost in the beauty where he was lost, we find more than we ever threw away, we reach what seems to be our spiritual home, and remember that it was not the speaker who was in the beginning but the Word.
E. M. Forster, Anonymity: an Enq
People from both political parties have long recognized that welfare without work creates negative incentives that lead to permanent poverty. It robs people of self-esteem.
After hurting myself like that, I could not go back immediately to racing. I was in no condition, mentally or physically. That helped me to strengthen myself to go through the hard times that were ahead with my business, and to be successful.
Nelson Piquet
Time flies like an arrow, fruit flies like a banana.
Groucho Marx
Time: that which man is always trying to kill, ends in killing him.
Herbert Spencer
The life of every man is a diary in which he means to write one story, and writes another; and his humblest hour is when he compares the volume as it is with what he vowed to make it.
John M. Barrie, The Little Minis
Family trips to Yellowstone and to what are now national parks in Southern Utah, driving the primitive roads and cars of that day, were real adventures.
Paul D. Boyer
We forget that we are all dead men conversing with dead men.
All we see of someone at any moment is a snapshot of their life, there in riches or poverty, in joy or despair. Snapshots don't show the million decisions that led to tht moment.
Richard Bach, Running from Safte
The best way to pay for a lovely moment is to enjoy it.
Richard Bach
If you would know strength and patience, welcome the company of trees.
Hal Borland
October is the fallen leaf, but it is also a wider horizon more clearly seen. It is the distant hills once more in sight, and the enduring constellations above them once again.
Hal Borland, Autumn is for Under
The truth is, I've never fooled anyone. I've let men sometimes fool themselves.
Marilyn Monroe
There is no power like that of true oratory. Caesar controlled men by exciting their fears; Cicero, by captivating their affections and swaying their passions. The influence of the one perished with its author; that of the other continues to this day.
Henry Clay
Architecture is invention.
Oscar Niemeyer
Here comes February, a little girl with her first valentine, a red bow in her wind-blown hair, a kiss waiting on her lips, a tantrum just back of her laughter.
March is a tomboy with tousled hair, a mischievous smile, mud on her shoes and a laugh in her voice.
Harmony makes small things grow, lack of it makes great things decay.
Sallust
There are no limits to either time or distance, except as man himself may make them. I have but to touch the wind to know these things.
Hal Borland, An American Year
Have you ever been out for a late autumn walk in the closing part of the afternoon and suddenly looked up to realize that the leaves have practically all gone? And the sun has set and the day gone before you knew it
Summer is a promissory note signed in June, its long days spent and gone before you know it, and due to be repaid next January.
I know I am but summer to your heart, and not the full four seasons of the year.
Edna St. Vincent Millay
Ah, summer, what power you have to make us suffer and like it.
