It's a family that's loaded with grudges and passion. We come from a long line of robbers and highwaymen in Italy, you know. Killers, even.
It turned out I was pretty good in science. But again, because of the small budget, in science class we couldn't afford to do experiments in order to prove theories. We just believed everything. Actually, I think that class was called Religion. Religion class was always an easy class. All you had to do was suspend the logic and reasoning you were being taught in all the other classes.
George Carlin
Treatments and therapies have never been better in the face of this disease. You have every reason to be optimistic, determined, and focused on the future. My only other advice is to cherish every moment with those you love at every stage of your journey, as I have done this summer.
Jack Layton
For the truth is that our doctrines are usually only the justification a posteriori of our conduct, or else they are our way of trying to explain that conduct to ourselves.
Miguel de Unamuno
I'd definitely love to play in Nashville again. That would be really good.
Roy Ayers
Because of new technologies, new wealth, new conditions of domestic life and of international relations, unprecedented criteria and issues are coming up for national decision.
Herman Kahn
Sometimes we know in our bones what we really need to do, but we're afraid to do it. Taking a chance and stepping beyond the safety of the world we've always known is the only way to grow, though and without risk there is no reward.
Wil Wheaton
O black and unknown bards of long ago, How came your lips to touch the sacred fire? How, in your darkness, did you come to know The power and beauty of the minstrels' lyre?
James Weldon Johnson
We are all very special...each of one us in our own way!
Timothy Pina
There are far more important things in life than making a putt or missing a putt or winning a championship or losing a championship.
Bernhard Langer
Sometimes God allows what he hates to accomplish what he loves.
Max Lucado
To me it seems that too many young women of this time share the same creed. 'Live, laugh, love, be nothing but happy, experience everything, et cetera et cetera.' How monotonous, how useless this becomes. What about the honors of Joan of Arc, Beauvoir, Stowe, Xena, Princess Leia, or women that would truly fight for something other than just their own emotions?
Criss Jami
When you get down to the bottom of it, only about half of what we remember really happened. We tend to modify things to make ourselves look better in our own eyes and in the eyes of others. Then, if what we did wasn't really very admirable, we tend to forget that it ever happened. A normal human being's grasp on reality is very tenuous at best. Our imaginary lives are usually much nicer.
David Leigh Eddings
Accept and express your underlying certitude, and it shall be worldwide sagacity.
Ogwo David Emenike
Science cannot tell us a word about why music delights us, of why and how an old song can move us to tears.
Erwin Schrodinger
To know even one life has breathed easier because you have lived - that is to have succeeded
Ralph Waldo Emerson
These are times in which a genius would wish to live. It is not in the still calm of life, or the repose of a pacific station, that great characters are formed.
Abigail Adams
This was my first lesson about gambling: if you see somebody winning all the time, he isn't gambling, he's cheating. Later on in life, if I were continuously losing in any gambling situation, I would watch very closely.
Malcolm X
Then it was that Jo, living in the darkened room, with that suffering little sister always before her eyes and that pathetic voice sounding in her ears, learned to see the beauty and the sweetness of Beth's nature, to feel how deep and tender a place she filled in all hearts, and to acknowledge the worth of Beth's unselfish ambition to live for others, and make home happy by that exercise of those simple virtues which all may possess, and which all should love and value more than talent, wealth, or beauty.
Louisa May Alcott
So often, the discarded love of youth is desperately yearned for in maturity.
Wayne Gerard Trotman
I doubt love can do little else, if it cannot bring back people back from the dead.
James Potter
I found that when I did something for the sake of heaven, heaven happened. These things changed my life. I owe them to my encounter with Christianity.
Lionel Blue
Life is about the people we meet, and the experiences we have along the way.
Joanne Clancy
I've never been in love. I will die without knowing what it feels like to need to see one person's face when you go to sleep at night, to crave seeing it when you wake up. I wish I knew.
Libba Bray
Love is a tomato. And while it's true that I can live without a tomato, I could sure go for some ketchup.
Jarod Kintz
the only way in which a human being can make some approach to knowing the whole of a subject, is by hearing what can be said about it by persons of every variety of opinion, and studying all modes in which it can be looked at by every character of mind. No wise man ever acquired his wisdom in any mode but this; nor is it in the nature of human intellect to become wise in any other manner.
John Stuart Mill
When I'm writing about reality, I'm writing about death. When I'm writing fiction, I'm writing about life.
Ralph Peters
I am convinced that we as adults must constantly cling to, affirm, and celebrate with our children those things we love, sunsets, laughter, the taste of a good meal, the warmth of a hickory fire shared by real friends, the joy of discovery and accomplishment, the constant surprises of life.
Eliot Wigginton
Those who can not adjust to change will be swept aside by it. Those who recognize change and react accordingly will benefit.
Jim Rogers
To be on an island inhabited byartificial ghosts was the most unbearable of nightmares,- to be in love with one of those imageswas worse than being in love with a ghost (perhaps wealways want the person we love to have the existenceof a ghost).
Adolfo Bioy Casares
How do people know they are sane? Can a person be gripped by lunacy, only to be released a short time later, never to relive the episode again?
Dee Remy
Plus, I was a math and science whiz from my first introduction to the subjects.
David Crane
love is undying,of that I feel certain.I mean deep,abiding,cherishing love.The love that gives protection even as you,my guardian angel,gave me protection long after you had gone-and continue to give this very day...A love beyond Death-a love that makes Life alive!
Ruskin Bond
London! hast thou accused me Of breach of laws? the root of strife! Within whose breast did boil to see, So fervent hot, thy dissolute life.
Henry Howard, Earl of Surrey
The most powerful control we can ever attain, is to be in control of ourselves.
Chris Page
No name-calling truly bites deep unless, in some dark part of us, we believe it. If we are confident enough then it is just noise.
Laurell K Hamilton
I have not had time to reflect on my own truths in many years.
David Blaine
Concentration attracts luck factor.
Amit Ray
The idea that God is an oversized white male with a flowing beard, who sits in the sky and tallies the fall of every sparrow is ludicrous. But if by 'God,' one means the set of physical laws that govern the universe, then clearly there is such a God. This God is emotionally unsatisfying... it does not make much sense to pray to the law of gravity.
Carl Sagan
Respect can only be given to those who have earned it by working for it.
Habeeb Akande
What is this world? what asketh men to have? Now with his love, now in his colde grave Allone, withouten any compaignye.
Geoffrey Chaucer
