I'm open to everything. When you start to criticize the times you live in, your time is over.
When several villages are united in a single complete community, large enough to be nearly or quite self-sufficing, the state comes into existence, originating in the bare needs of life, and continuing in existence for the sake of a good life.
Aristotle
The argument of Alcidamas: Everyone honours the wise. Thus the Parians have honoured Archilochus, in spite of his bitter tongue; the Chians Homer, though he was not their countryman; the Mytilenaeans Sappho, though she was a woman; the Lacedaemonians actually made Chilon a member of their senate, though they are the least literary of men; the inhabitants of Lampsacus gave public burial to Anaxagoras, though he was an alien, and honour him even to this day.
Art is why I get up in the morning but my definition ends there. You know I don't think its fair that I'm living for something I can't even define.

Alban Berg
As I was coming out of the closet, our car was hurtling over an embankment.

My formula for living is quite simple. I get up in the morning and I go to bed at night. In between, I occupy myself as best I can.
Cary Grant
Having Down syndrome is like being born normal. I am just like you and you are just like me. We are all born in different ways, that is the way I can describe it. I have a normal life.
Chris Burke
Look, I'm very much in favor of tax cuts, but not with borrowed money. And the problem that we've gotten into in recent years is spending programs with borrowed money, tax cuts with borrowed money, and at the end of the day that proves disastrous. And my view is I don't think we can play subtle policy here.
Alan Greenspan
The Secret Intelligence Service I knew occupied dusky suites of little rooms opposite St James's Park Tube station in London.
John le Carre
But it's cool working with female directors because I'm a girl, so you do relate to them more. You can talk to them about other stuff like clothes and all that.
Elle Fanning
We don't need bigger government. We need to shrink the size of government.
Rand Paul
Writing became an obsessive compulsive habit but I had almost no money so I thought about being an urban firefighter and having lots of free time in which to write or becoming an English teacher and thinking about books and writers on a daily basis. That swayed me.

Tom Vilsack
The trees that are slow to grow bear the best fruit.
Moliere
Our company is built on people - those who work for us, and those we do business with.
Harvey S. Firestone
Like my dad, I have a Christmas party most years. I like to celebrate and see as many people as possible.
Lauren Graham
I don't think the objective of an abortion clinic is to try to talk women out of having the procedure. That obviously would not be positive for their bottom line.
Bob McDonnell
Violence against women in all its forms is a human rights violation. It's not something that any culture, religion or tradition propagates.
Michelle Bachelet
I don't think I look up to any players. Obviously you respect everyone.
Wayne Rooney
I'm actually a very honest person, and sometimes I end up like, 'Man, I said too much.' It's hard for me not to tell the truth when you ask me.
Drake

Dr. Johnson has said that the chief glory of a country arises from its authors. But then that is only as they are oracles of wisdom unless they teach virtue, they are more worthy of a halter than of the laurel.
Jane Porter
My father was brought up in an orphanage in the Catskills. He was a factory worker. And because his family wasn't there for him, family was everything.

Harvey Fierstein
When I have a dream, I don't have a life. I live for the dream.
Yossi Ghinsberg
Those other 10 o'clock shows that come on, all you get from them is headaches and nightmares when you go to bed! At least we give you food, know what I mean?
Emeril Lagasse
The U.S. has since the end of World War II had an answer - we stand for free peoples and free markets, we are willing to support and defend them - we will sustain a balance of power that favors freedom.
Condoleezza Rice
To counter the avoidance of intellectual challenge and responsibility, we must reduce the domination of certainty in education.
William Glasser
Through selfless work, love of God grows in the heart. Then through his grace one realize him in course of time. God can be seen. One can talk to him as I am talking to you.
Ramakrishna
We've put more effort into helping folks reach old age than into helping them enjoy it.
Frank A. Clark
Sitting at the table during Color Purple and looking up and suddenly realizing I was acting in front of Steven Spielberg, was pretty cool. It was pretty good.
