I follow three rules: Do the right thing, do the best you can, and always show people you care.
The promised notification was hanging over her head. The postman's knock within the neighbourhood was beginning to bring its daily terrors -and if reading could banish the idea for even half an hour, it was something gained.
Jane Austen
If you talk bad about country music, it's like saying bad things about my momma. Them's fightin' words.
Dolly Parton
You have two choices: to control your mind or to let your mind control you.
Paulo Coelho
Thanks partly to the kind of poets that we now have and partly to funding, there's been a gigantic shift in the way poetry is perceived... Poems on the Underground, poets in schools, football clubs, zoos.
Andrew Motion
We can live with lots of things, but we can't live without imagination, we can't live without hope.
Ariel Dorfman
Anarchists are mouthpieces of a declining stratum of society; when they work themselves into a state of righteous indignation demanding 'rights', 'justice', 'equal rights', they are just acting under the pressure of their own lack of culture, which has no way of grasping why they really suffer, or what they lack in life.
Friedrich Nietzsche
I've reached a point in my life where it's the little things that matter... I was always a rebel and probably could have got much farther had I changed my attitude. But when you think about it, I got pretty far without changing attitudes. I'm happier with that.
Veronica Lake
I believe that we were not as effective in the second term dealing with this issue of nuclear none proliferation as we had been during the first term when we stripped Libya and Iraq and A.Q. Khan and their capacity to proliferate nuclear technology.
Dick Cheney
It may be possible to do without dancing entirely. Instances have been known of young people passing many, many months successively, without being at any ball of any description, and no material injury accrue either to body or mind;-- but when a beginning is made-- when the felicities of rapid motion have once been, though slightly, felt-- it must be a very heavy set that does not ask for more.
Appetite, craving for food, is a constant and powerful stimulator of the gastric glands.
Ivan Pavlov
Poverty: a temporary financial low, curable by money.
Stephen Richards
I think marriage is ghastly.
Rupert Everett
All that I am I owe to Jesus Christ, revealed to me in His divine Book.
David Livingstone
We are not worshipping anyone or anything, we are simply communing with creation.
Death is the only pure, beautiful conclusion of a great passion.
David Herbert Lawrence
Liberty, as we all know, cannot flourish in a country that is permanently on a war footing, or even a near war footing. Permanent crisis justifies permanent control of everybody and everything by the agencies of central government.
Aldous Huxley
I'd rather be a failure at something I love than a success at something I hate.
George Burns
I would rather not be engaged. When people are engaged, they begin to think of being married soon, and I should like everything to go on for a long while just as it is.
George Eliot
People of a vertain rank will always keep a cool distance from common people, as if they were afraid to lose their dignity by too much familiarity.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Architecture is a slow business, and city planning even slower.
Richard Rogers
I would never put my close friends or a real relationship on a show.
Kristin Cavallari
Round pegs in square holes tend to have dangerous thoughts about the social system and tend to infect others with their discontents.
President Obama's call for nearly a half-trillion dollars in more government stimulus when America has more than $14 trillion in debt is guided by his mistaken belief that we can spend our way to prosperity.
Rick Perry
The welfare of the people in particular has always been the alibi of tyrants, and it provides the further advantage of giving the servants of tyranny a good conscience
Albert Camus
I know it when I don't know it. Sometimes I know it when I don't think I know it. I need to trust myself in these moments, these rare moments of self-doubt.
Rush Limbaugh
If I wasn't even famous or had any success, I would still wake up and put tons of make-up on, and put on a cool outfit. That's always been who I've been my whole life, so that's never gonna change. I love fashion. I love getting dressed up. I love Halloween, too.
Gwen Stefani
Principles have a way of enduring, as do the few irreducible individuals who maintain allegiance to them.
Christopher Hitchens
When I sing, I have a sense of peace, I feel like my brain turns off, and I become the core person of who I am - the essence of me. I feel connected to whatever is out there. It's almost like I leave my body and get to watch.
Michelle Branch
I want to be thoroughly used up when I die, for the harder I work, the more I live. I rejoice in life for its own sake. Life is no brief candle to me. It is a sort of splendid torch which I have got hold of for the moment, and I want to make it burn as brightly as possible before handing it on to future generations.
George Bernard Shaw
There is a God shaped vacuum in the heart of every man which cannot be filled by any created thing, but only by God, the Creator, made known through Jesus
Blaise Pascal
The giving and receiving of pleasure is a need and an ecstasy.
Kahlil Gibran
The power of the white world is threatened whenever a black man refuses to accept the white world's definitions.
James A. Baldwin
If all the world were Christian, it might not matter if all the world were educated. But a cultural life will exist outside the Church whether it exists inside or not. Good philosophy must exist, if for no other reason, because bad philosophy needs to be answered.
C.S. Lewis
Government does not create wealth. The major role for the government is to create an environment where people take risks to expand the job rate in the United States.
George W. Bush
It is clear that thought is not free if the profession of certain opinions makes it impossible to earn a living.
Bertrand Russell
And a step backward, after making a wrong turn, is a step in the right direction.
Kurt Vonnegut
I am certain no one sets out to be cruel, but our treatment of the elderly ill seems to have no philosophy to it. As a society, we should establish whether we have a policy of life at any cost.
Terry Pratchett
Hegel was right when he said that we learn from history that man can never learn anything from history.
I don't think that there's been one example in history where somebody has openly talked about their personal life and it's done them any good.
Rashida Jones
I've always leaned toward a feminine, funky style, even in business settings. I used to paint my nails blue in 1993, before it was mainstream.
