The greatest gift that you can give yourself is a little bit of your own attention.
It is easier to prevent bad habits than to break them.
Benjamin Franklin
Benjamin Franklin said there were only two things certain in life: death and taxes. But I'd like to add a third certainty: trash. And while some in this room might want to discuss reducing taxes, I want to talk about reducing trash.
Ruth Ann Minner
There are two ways of being happy: We must either diminish our wants or augment our means -- either may do -- the result is the same and it is for each man to decide for himself and to do that which happens to be easier.
I think there's a lot of deep-rooted history in England with racing. Lots of Formula One teams are based there. Formula One is obviously a huge sport over in England and Europe.
Danica Patrick
Happiness consists more in small conveniences of pleasures that occur every day, than in great pieces of good fortune that happen but seldom to a man in the course of his life.
The aim of a college education is to teach you to know a good man when you see one.
William James
Honesty is the best policy.
Clean your finger before you point at my spots.
Actually, I started to become an actress because I met someone who was just a friend and I found his life wonderful, I thought, Oh my god, you can travel, you're free, you can do what you want, you're the boss. And then I met an actor and I was in love with him.
Lea Seydoux
Poetry seems to sink into us the way prose doesn't. I can still quote verses I learned when I was very young, but I have trouble remembering one line of a novel I just finished reading.
Jack Prelutsky
In most things success depends on knowing how long it takes to succeed.
Charles de Montesquieu
I think my best work is when I'm kind of in charge.
Chris Rock
Now, we believe that the majority of teachers in America know our system must be reformed, to put students first so that America can compete, that teachers don't teach to become rich or famous. They teach because they love children.
Chris Christie
He was thinking alone, and seriously racking his brain to find a direction for this single force four times multiplied, with which he did not doubt, as with the lever for which Archimedes sought, they should succeed in moving the world, when some one tapped gently at his door.
Alexandre Dumas
I think everybody has their own way of looking at their lives as some kind of pilgrimage. Some people will see their role as a pilgrim in terms of setting up a fine family, or establishing a business inheritance. Everyone's got their own definition.
Eric Clapton
I'm just a pretty regular dad.
Ang Lee
Redefining marriage will have huge implications for what is taught in our schools, and for wider society. It will redefine society since the institution of marriage is one of the fundamental building blocks of society. The repercussions of enacting same-sex marriage into law will be immense.
Keith O'Brien
The big thing that everyone forgets, you're famous and on TV and everything, but I think there's something very rewarding to be able to write a song, record it, and have it turn out as you heard it in your head, or even better.
Phil Collen
I had the perfect job for a gamer. From February to October, I'd get up at 7 in the morning with nothing to do but play games until I had to be at the park around 1 or 2 o'clock. When I got back after the game, I played until 3 or 4 in the morning.
Curt Schilling
Time is the most valuable coin in your life. You and you alone will determine how that coin will be spent. Be careful that you don't let other people spend it for you.
John Dryden
Tomorrow do thy worst, I have lived today.
He who trusts secrets to a servant makes him his master.
Look around the inhabited world; how few know their own good, or knowing it, pursue.
War, he sung, is toil and trouble; Honor but an empty bubble.
But marriage goes in waves. You've got to be patient. People bail and give up on their marriages way too early. They just don't put the work and the effort into it. You've got to suck up your ego a lot of times, because that can be a big downfall.
Anna Benson
Nature meant me a wife, a silly harmless household Dove, fond without art; and kind without deceit.
Men are but children of a larger growth, Our appetites as apt to change as theirs, And full as craving too, and full as vain.
There are so many people that don't believe in themselves and don't have faith.
Lenny Kravitz
In Iroquois society, leaders are encouraged to remember seven generations in the past and consider seven generations in the future when making decisions that affect the people.
Wilma Mankiller
I just hope that our fans are people who are inspired by music, and just use our music as a background or inspiration for whatever it is they do.
Maynard James Keenan
Science has proof without any certainty. Creationists have certainty without any proof.
Ashley Montagu
No 27-year-old has the experience to run a company that does a quarter of a billion dollars a year in sales.
Calvin Klein
That's the way this business works: if your movies do well at the box office, you will be offered more movies. It doesn't matter if you're a nice guy or you're a prick. If your movies do well, there's a job waiting for you in Hollywood. It's not any more complicated than that.
Matt Damon
All the learning in the world cannot replace instinct.
Robert Ley
I think art education, especially in this country, which government pretty much ignores, is so important for young people.
Mikhail Baryshnikov
I've never missed a gig yet. Music makes people happy, and that's why I go on doing it - I like to see everybody smile.
Buddy Guy
Until we respect bin Laden, we are going to die in numbers that are probably unnecessary.
Michael Scheuer
I know that I can sing. That's the reason I started playing music when I was twelve years old.
Kesha
I've never heard my dad say a bad word about anybody. He always keeps his emotions in check and is a true gentleman. I was taught that losing it was indulgent, a selfish act.
Hugh Jackman
But thankfully, my first album, 'Wide Screen,' was sort of a critics' darling - everyone raved about it, but no one bought it. They only manufactured 10,000 copies I wasn't even in the running for failure!
