Paris Hilton

Confucius
Millions of people would have mindlessly starved to death if his advice had been followed.
Christopher Hitchens
The longer you stay in one place, the greater your chances of disillusionment.
Art Spander
The business of the poet is not to find new emotions, but to use the ordinary ones and, in working them up into poetry, to express feelings which are not in actual emotions at all.
T. S. Eliot
I would dodge, not lie, in the national interest.
Larry Speakes
They that apply themselves to trifling matters commonly become incapable of great ones.

Only one thing registers on the subconscious mind: repetitive application -- practice. What you practice is what you manifest.
Grace Speare
Many a person has held close, throughout their entire lives, two friends that always remained strange to one another, because one of them attracted by virtue of similarity, the other by difference.
Emil Ludwig
Think and feel yourself there! To achieve any aim in life, you need to project the end-result. Think of the elation, the satisfaction, the joy! Carrying the ecstatic feeling will bring the desired goal into view.
Obstacles Can't Stop You, Problems Can't Stop You, People Can't Stop You. Only You Can Stop You!
Jeffrey Gitomer

Knowledge in the form of an informational commodity indispensable to productive power is already, and will continue to be, a major --perhaps the major --stake in the worldwide competition for power.

Jean Francois Lyotard
Freedom can occur only through education.

When I was a kid I didn't feel like I fit in because - this is really silly and I probably shouldn't say it, but, I didn't think anything was funny. So I used to go home and literally cry to my mom and my step-dad at the time and I didn't think anything was funny. I couldn't laugh.
Courteney Cox
Eclecticism is the degree zero of contemporary general culture: one listens to reggae, watches a western, eats McDonald's food for lunch and local cuisine for dinner, wears Paris perfume in Tokyo and retro clothes in Hong Kong; knowledge is a matter for TV games.
