My mom and I have always been really close. She's always been the friend that was always there. There were times when, in middle school and junior high, I didn't have a lot of friends. But my mom was always my friend. Always.
Taylor Swift
I liked the way my character, Shane, was first introduced. You get introduced to her through this sexual action, and I thought that was so cool and just kind of summed up what she enjoys and who she is, to a certain extent. She's a complete sexual being and the great thing is that she doesn't apologize for it. It's just who she is. We rarely see women be able to do that on television.
Katherine Moennig
Science is not about control. It is about cultivating a perpetual sense of wonder in the face of something that forever grows one step richer and subtle than our latest theory about it. It is about reverence, not mastery.
Richard Powers
It's a melting pot, southern Africa. You find these cultural collisions that result in art and music, and it's pretty amazing.
Dave Matthews
The best thing about the future is that it comes one day at a time.
Abraham Lincoln

George Bernard Shaw
I am on my way to Ghana tomorrow morning and you just need to know that this Administration is very focused on doing all we can to promote economic development in this part of the world, in Africa, throughout Africa, North Africa and sub-Saharan Africa.
Donald Evans
The family is the test of freedom because the family is the only thing that the free man makes for himself and by himself.
Gilbert K. Chesterton
No man ever believes that the Bible means what it says: He is always convinced that it says what he means.
If you must hold yourself up to your children as an object lesson, hold yourself up as a warning and not an example.
If history repeats itself, and the unexpected always happens, how incapable must Man be of learning from experience!
There is no love sincerer than the love of food.
Forgive him, for he believes that the customs of his tribe are the laws of nature!
The best place to seek God is in a garden. You can dig for him there.
A professional whose job it is to explain to others what it personally does not understand.
Lord Northcliffe
Half the things that people do not succeed in are through fear of making the attempt.
James Northcote
As for courage and will -- we cannot measure how much of each lies within us, we can only trust there will be sufficient to carry through trials which may lie ahead.
Andre Norton
The voice of protest, of warning, of appeal is never more needed than when the clamor of fife and drum, echoed by the press and too often by the pulpit, is bidding all men fall in step and obey in silence the tyrannous word of command. Then, more than ever, it is the duty of the good citizen not to be silent.

It's pretty cool that people will pay for something even though they don't have to. It's totally different now to back in the day. Now you're paying for a record because you believe in the band. In the future that will be the only time people will pay for albums, because there's some kind of connection.
Ezra Koenig
When a man tells you that he got rich through hard work, ask him whose?
Don Marquis
Seldom ever was any knowledge given to keep, but to impart the grace of this rich jewel is lost in concealment.
Wendell Phillips
Blessed are those who give without remembering. And blessed are those who take without forgetting.
Bernard Meltzer
When we talk of freedom and opportunity for all nations, the mocking paradoxes in our own society become so clear they can no longer be ignored.
Wendell Willkie
Success is getting and achieving what you want. Happiness is wanting and being content with what you get.
Before you speak ask yourself if what you are going to say is true, is kind, is necessary, is helpful. If the answer is no, maybe what you are about to say should be left unsaid.
At birth man is offered only one choice --the choice of his death. But if this choice is governed by distaste for his own existence, his life will never have been more than meaningless.
