Boys, there ain't no free lunches in this country. And don't go spending your whole life commiserating that you got the raw deals. You've got to say, I think that if I keep working at this and want it bad enough I can have it. It's called perseverance.
Master of the universe but not of myself, I am the only rebel against my absolute power.
Pierre Corneille
People say to me, You were a roaring success. How did you do it? I go back to what my parents taught me. Apply yourself. Get all the education you can, but then, by God, do something. Don't just stand there, make something happen.
The discipline of writing something down is the first step toward making it happen.
The trouble with the Labour Party leadership and the trade union leadership, they're quite willing to applaud millions on the streets of the Philippines or in Eastern Europe, without understanding the need to also produce millions of people on the streets of Britain.
Arthur Scargill
You'll be much more successful if you follow your dreams and follow your passions.
Jay Weatherill

The ability to concentrate and to use time well is everything.
The majority is never right. Never, I tell you! That's one of these lies in society that no free and intelligent man can help rebelling against. Who are the people that make up the biggest proportion of the population -- the intelligent ones or the fools? I think we can agree it's the fools, no matter where you go in this world, it's the fools that form the overwhelming majority.
Henrik Ibsen
It was then that I began to look into the seams of your doctrine. I wanted only to pick at a single knot; but when I had got that undone, the whole thing raveled out. And then I understood that it was all machine-sewn.

But all this has only been a matter of intellect, Miss West -- superficial acquisition. It has not passed into your blood.

Pope Francis I
The majority is always wrong; the minority is rarely right.
A marriage based on full confidence, based on complete and unqualified frankness on both sides; they are not keeping anything back; there's no deception underneath it all. If I might so put it, it's an agreement for the mutual forgiveness of sin.
The chief value of money lies in the fact that one lives in a world in which it is overestimated.
H. L. Mencken
A minority may be right, and a majority is always wrong.
