It is not enough to succeed. Others must fail.
I am just going outside and may be some time.
Lawrence Oates
In soliciting donations from his flock, a preacher may promise eternal life in a celestial city whose streets are paved with gold, and that's none of the law's business. But if he promises an annual free stay in a luxury hotel on Earth, he'd better have the rooms available.
Charlotte Observer
It is vain to do with more what can be done with less.
William Of Occam
The 'public' scares me, but people I trust.
Marilyn Monroe
There are two kinds of marriages -- where the husband quotes the wife and where the wife quotes the husband.
Clifford Odets
It's easy to come up with new ideas; the hard part is letting go of what worked for you two years ago, but will soon be out-of-date.
Roger von Oech
It's important for the explorer to be willing to be led astray.
The human body has two ends on it: one to create with and one to sit on. Sometimes people get their ends reversed. When this happens they need a kick in the seat of the pants.
I don't compete with other discus throwers. I compete with my own history.
Al Oerter
Some say that I should settle down, go slower and not push so hard, so quickly for such transformational change. To them, I say that you misunderstand the size of the problems we face, the strength of the status quo and the urgency of the people's desire for change.
Eliot Spitzer
As long as I can concentrate and remain somewhat calm, I can normally do very well.
Happiness to a dog is what lies on the other side of a door.
Charleton Jr. Ogburn
America has run the world for at least the past 50 years, and when you're at the top that long, you forget what it's like in the valley. There are 5+ billion people out there now who are willing to study harder, work harder for less money and be more industrious than we are. And we're linked to them by technology. With telecommunications, you can have your bookkeeping done in Madra, India, for less than it costs here. Today technology can replace whole new industries, so you have to stay flexible. To survive today, you have to be able to walk on quicksand and dance with electrons.
Frank Ogden
I use many props. The props act as cue cards reminding me of what to say next.
Tom Ogden
Once I have heard the story or joke used twice by other speakers or entertainer, I avoid it.
The really idle man gets nowhere. The perpetually busy man does not get much further.
Sir Heneage Ogilvie
It ain't as bad as you think. It will look better in the morning.
Colin Powell
Beauty comes from a life well lived. If you've lived well, your smile lines are in the right places, and your frown lines aren't too bad, what more do you need?
Jennifer Garner
It would behoove the world to become used to this fact: that without a just solution to the Palestine tragedy, there can be no stable peace in the Middle East.
King Hussein I
As much as I value an union of all the states, I would not admit the southern states into the union, unless they agreed to the discontinuance of this disgraceful trade, because it would bring weakness and not strength to the union.
George Mason
I have more respect for somebody who points at his ideal - in this case, the ideal of the pirate - and then becomes something that's more radical, more exciting, more subversive than a pirate could ever be.
Will Oldham
Money for me today does not really matter.
Jackie Chan
Seriously, we are in the midst of the convergence of voice and data and that is challenging the infrastructure of the telephone companies. There are huge commercial interests in the basic technology, but even more so in content delivery and control of content.
Steve Crocker
I used to get my money at the end of the week, buy my mum something, or buy a record, and that was it.
Elton John
I went to engineering school, which I thought was what I wanted to do, for about two weeks. We had an orientation class and we met this guy where he worked and stuff and it was cool, but I was like, 'There is no way this is going to be my life.'
Evan Glodell
The opinion prevailed among advanced minds that it was time that belief should be replaced increasingly by knowledge; belief that did not itself rest on knowledge was superstition, and as such had to be opposed.
Albert Einstein
I've made over 20 movies, and 5 of them are good.
Tom Hanks
I have little patience with scientists who take a board of wood, look for its thinnest part, and drill a great number of holes where drilling is easy.
We all try to escape pain and death, while we seek what is pleasant.
But if you say that we should not educate children who have come into our state for no other reason than they've been brought there by no fault of their own, I don't think you have a heart. We need to be educating these children, because they will become a drag on our society.
Rick Perry
Both my parents are English and came out to Australia in 1967. I was born the following year. My parents, and immigrants like them, were known as '£10 poms.' Back then, the Australian government was trying to get educated British people and Canadians - to be honest, educated white people - to come and live in Australia.
Hugh Jackman
Politics is far more complicated than physics.
If one asks the whence derives the authority of fundamental ends, since they cannot be stated and justified merely by reason, one can only answer: they exist in a healthy society as powerful traditions, which act upon the conduct and aspirations and judgments of the individuals; they are there, that is, as something living, without its being necessary to find justification for their existence.
The only way to escape the personal corruption of praise is to go on working.
The highest principles for our aspirations and judgments are given to us in the Jewish-Christian religious tradition.
The significant problems we face today cannot be solved at the same level of thinking we were at when we created them.
Just because a situation is grim doesn't mean you don't have every right to smile.
Rashida Jones
If my theory of relativity is proven successful, Germany will claim me as a German and France will declare that I am a citizen of the world. Should my theory prove untrue, France will say that I am a German and Germany will declare that I am a Jew.
The life of inner peace, being harmonious and without stress, is the easiest type of existence.
Norman Vincent Peale
Bush's war in Iraq has done untold damage to the United States. It has impaired our military power and undermined the morale of our armed forces. Our troops were trained to project overwhelming power. They were not trained for occupation duties.
