William Shakespeare
The ladder of success is best climbed by stepping on the rungs of opportunity.
Ayn Rand
Those who decide to use leisure as a means of mental development, who love good music, good books, good pictures, good plays, good company, good conversation - what are they? They are the happiest people in the world.
William Lyon Phelps
Great abilities are not requisite for an Historian; for in historical composition, all the greatest powers of the human mind are quiescent. He has facts ready to his hand; so there is no exercise of invention. Imagination is not required in any degree; only about as much as is used in the lowest kinds of poetry. Some penetration, accuracy, and coloring, will fit a man for the task, if he can give the application which is necessary.
Samuel Johnson
Effectively, change is almost impossible without industry-wide collaboration, cooperation and consensus.
Simon Mainwaring
It is, indeed, at home that every man must be known by those who would make a just estimate either of his virtue or felicity; for smiles and embroidery are alike occasional, and the mind is often dressed for show in painted honor, and fictitious benevolence.
There is something about inside information which seems to paralyse a man's reasoning powers.
Bernard Baruch
The Lord often has his prophets climb mountains to converse with Him. I always wondered why He did that, and now I know the answer: when we are on high, we can see everything else as small. Our glory and sadness lose their importance. Whatever we conquered or lost remains there below. From the heights of the mountain, you see how large the world is, and how wide its horizons.
Paulo Coelho
No money is better spent than what is laid out for domestic satisfaction.
The natural flights of the human mind are not from pleasure to pleasure, but from hope to hope.
The quality of light by which we scrutinize our lives has direct bearing upon the product which we live, and upon the changes which we hope to bring about through those lives.
Audre Lorde
The more I read, the more I acquire, the more certain I am that I know nothing.
Voltaire
Nothing is more hopeless than a scheme of merriment.
Our only hope is to control the vote.
Medgar Evers
I hate mankind, for I think of myself as one of the best of them, and I know how bad I am.
I do not believe that Congress or the Administration should prohibit the medical community from pursuing a promising avenue of research that may improve the lives of millions of Americans.
Tom Allen
I am a great friend to public amusements, for they keep the people from vice.
Playing hard to get is not the way to win me over. I'm definitely more for the girl who can smile and laugh all the time and just have a good time!
Taylor Lautner
It is very strange, and very melancholy, that the paucity of human pleasures should persuade us ever to call hunting one of them.
We're in a giant car heading towards a brick wall and everyone's arguing over where they're going to sit.
David Suzuki
You are speaking...as if the pleasure were one thing and the memory another. It is all one thing... what you call remembering is the last part of the pleasure.
C.S. Lewis
Sir, a man may be so much of everything, that he is nothing of anything.
Vets do what doctors used to - diagnose the injury or the condition, patch it up as best they can and remind you that these things happen and that in life we are also in the midst of death.
Jane Smiley
As peace is the end of war, so to be idle is the ultimate purpose of the busy.
What difference does it make to the dead, the orphans and the homeless, whether the mad destruction is wrought under the name of totalitarianism or in the holy name of liberty or democracy?
Mahatma Gandhi
I know it's a cliche, but the whole family is just whacked. I mean, we're all out of our minds. They're the funniest, most eccentric bizarre people I've ever met, my siblings.
Dana Carvey
Perhaps man is the only being that can properly be called idle.
I think art is inherently nonviolent and it actually occupies your mind with creation rather than destruction.
Anthony Kiedis
Were it not for imagination a man would be as happy in arms of a chambermaid as of a duchess.
However mean your life is, meet it and live it.
Henry David Thoreau
Death is the last enemy: once we've got past that I think everything will be alright.
Alice Thomas Ellis
Almost all absurdity of conduct arises from the imitation of those who we cannot resemble.
I've never had a very quiet voice. I tried in choir to make it smaller, and it just didn't work out. And I listened to a lot of soul music when I was growing up on my own accord. But I was mostly into Mama Cass and Gladys Knight, and they all had big voices too just different than mine.
Beth Ditto
I have now attained the true art of letter-writing, which we are always told, is to express on paper exactly what one would say to the same person by word of mouth.
Jane Austen
