My father I liked, but it was only after his death that I got to know him by writing the play.
Hope is a good thing but not if you depend on it solely.
Source Unknown
From the withered tree, a flower blooms.
Hope is the golden thread that should be woven into every experience of life.
I played Winnie Cooper on 'The Wonder Years' from ages 12-18, and did a few other movies during some of the summers.
Danica McKellar
Our hopes are but memories reversed.
Of all lies, art is the least untrue.
Gustave Flaubert
It is almost impossible to smile on the outside without feeling better on the inside.
Our birth is nothing but our death begun, As tapers waste the moment they take fire.
Edward Young
That the Party did not seek power for its own ends, but only for the good of the majority. That it sought power because men in the mass were frail cowardly creatures who could not endure liberty or face the truth, and must be ruled over and systematically deceived by others who were stronger than themselves. That the choice for mankind lay between freedom and happiness, and that, for the great bulk of mankind, happiness was better.
George Orwell
Too many people confine their exercise to jumping to conclusions, running up bills, stretching the truth, bending over backward, lying down on the job, sidestepping responsibility and pushing their luck.
It is a pleasure to give advice, humiliating to need it, normal to ignore it.
I'm a Mommy's Girl - the strongest influence in my young life was my mom.
Susie Bright
People can be divided into three classes, the few who make things happen, the many who watch things happen, and the overwhelming majority who have no idea what has happened.
He who follows his lessons tastes a profound peace, and looks upon everybody as a bunch of manure.
Moliere
If you think that every bad thing that has been done on the face of the earth has been done by man, you're right -- but so has every good thing.
There are two kinds of people in the world -- those you love, and those you don't understand.
Simplify your life. You don't grow spiritual, you shrink spiritual.
Steve Maraboli
Be tolerant of the human race. Your whole family belongs to it -- and some of your spouse's family does too.
In Europe art has to a large degree taken the place of religion. In America it seems rather to be science.
Johan Huizinga
When we become aware of our humility, we've lost it.
The matter on which I judge people is their willingness, or ability, to handle contradiction. Thus Paine was better than Burke when it came to the principle of the French revolution, but Burke did and said magnificent things when it came to Ireland, India and America. One of them was in some ways a revolutionary conservative and the other was a conservative revolutionary. It's important to try and contain multitudes. One of my influences was Dr Israel Shahak, a tremendously brave Israeli humanist who had no faith in collectivist change but took a Spinozist line on the importance of individuals. Gore Vidal's admirers, of whom I used to be one and to some extent remain one, hardly notice that his essential critique of America is based on Lindbergh and 'America First' the most conservative position available. The only real radicalism in our time will come as it always has from people who insist on thinking for themselves and who reject party-mindedness.
Christopher Hitchens
If you are right, take the humble side -- you will help the other fellow. If you are wrong, take the humble side -- and you will help yourself.
I think leadership is service and there is power in that giving: to help people, to inspire and motivate them to reach their fullest potential.
Denise Morrison
It is desirable that a man live in all respects so simply and preparedly that if an enemy take the town... he can walk out the gate empty-handed and without anxiety.
Henry David Thoreau
Humility is the ladder to divine understanding.
Economics is extremely useful as a form of employment for economists.
John Kenneth Galbraith
Be it ever so humble, there's no opinion like one's own.
Civil strife is as much a greater evil than a concerted war effort as war itself is worse than peace.
Herodotus
Humor -- the perfect relationship of the parts to the whole.
There are people who cannot forget, as neither do I, the lesson of the years of the Indochina War. Which was, first, that the state is capable of being a murderer. A mass murderer, and a conspirator and a liar.
Humor is a whisper from the soul, imploring mind and body to relax, let go and be at peace again.
If cats looked like frogs we'd realize what nasty, cruel little bastards they are. Style. That's what people remember.
Terry Pratchett
What motivated me? My mother. My mother was an immigrant woman, a peasant woman, struggled all her life, worked in the garment center.
Al Lewis
Isn't it sad how some people can't be funny, so they have to settle for being obnoxious?
Nothing is more highly to be prized than the value of each day
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
A new breeze is blowing, and a world refreshed by freedom seems reborn for in man's heart, if not in fact, the day of the dictator is over. The totalitarian era is passing, its old ideas blown away like leaves from an ancient, lifeless tree.
George H. W. Bush
Friendship gives us the strength to turn from lambs into lions.
Stephen Richards
Def Leppard is obviously a different band that we are, but the music work well tighter. And the audiences seem work well together too. We are opening, but we're having a good time.
Joan Jett
Newspapers are unable, seemingly to discriminate between a bicycle accident and the collapse of civilization
George Bernard Shaw
You got to have a courageous president to stand up and says, listen, if - if you send a bill to me that spends more money than what we've coming in, I'll veto it. I mean, I'm going to try to work with you the best I can, but I'm going to veto it.
