I just love working hard. I love being part of a team; I love working toward a common goal.
I don't really remember a time younger than 5 years old that I didn't have skates on because all I can remember is every day, tying up my skates and a big smile on my face, excited to go on the ice.
Michelle Kwan
Tyranny cannot defeat the power of ideas.
Helen Keller
Organization can never be a substitute for initiative and for judgment.
Louis D. Brandeis
When I turned about 12 or 13, I realised that being funny wasn't about remembering jokes. It was about creating them.
Paul Merton
Husbands never become good they merely become proficient.
H. L. Mencken
The four cornerstones of character on which the structure of this nation was built are: Initiative, Imagination, Individuality and Independence.
Edward Rickenbacker
I've completed the first part of my preparations without injury problems. My speed is good and I'm doing lots of volume for strength.
Jonathan Brown
In politics, nothing happens by accident. If it happens, you can bet it was planned that way.
Franklin D. Roosevelt
Independence? That's middle-class blasphemy. We are all dependent on one another, every soul of us on earth.
George Bernard Shaw, Pygmalion,
To have done anything just for money is to have been truly idle.
Henry David Thoreau
The anger that Uncle Junior has comes from my background. My father was the son of an Italian immigrant, and I've seen the fire of the Italian temperament. It can be explosive sometimes in ways that are both funny and tragic.
Dominic Chianese
I'm a very romantic person.
Esai Morales
The quiet and solitary man apprehends the inscrutable. He seeks nothing, holds to the mean, and remains free from entanglements.
I Ching
But I say to you, Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you, so that you may be sons of your Father who is in heaven for he makes his sun rise on the evil and on the good, and sends rain on the just and on the unjust.
Jesus Christ
Uncontrolled, the hunger and thirst after God may become an obstacle, cutting off the soul from what it desires. If a man would travel far along the mystic road, he must learn to desire God intensely but in stillness, passively and yet with all his heart and mind and strength.
Aldous Huxley
I have mostly been terrified of listening to scary stories around a campfire. We camp a lot as a family, and at night my dad would try and tell us scary stories. This made eating s'mores difficult. The story would start with something like... 'and the old man who lived in these woods...' I would then run back into the camper terrified.
Willow Shields
The underlying principles of strategy are enduring, regardless of technology or the pace of change.
Michael Porter
The idea that Bill Gates has appeared like a knight in shining armor to lead all customers out of a mire of technological chaos neatly ignores the fact that it was he who, by peddling second- rate technology, led them into it in the first place.
Douglas Adams
The reason for not getting married was that I just didn't have a partner to get married to. Climbing mountains was more attractive to me than marriage, or other fun things like that.
Tamae Watanabe
Came but for friendship, and took away love.
Thomas Moore
Technology: No Place for Wimps!
Scott Adams, Dilbert
One Christmas build-up tradition, however, has totally bypassed me - that of going up to town and 'doing a show.'
Julie Burchill
Mystical explanations are thought to be deep; the truth is that they are not even shallow.
Friedrich Nietzsche
It is time that capital and labor realized that their interests are really comutual, as interdependent as the brain and the body; time they ceased their fratricidal strife and, uniting their mighty forces under the flag of Progress, completed the conquest of the world and doomed Poverty, Ignorance and Vice... Unless labor is employed, capital cannot increase - it cannot concentrate. Unless property rights are held inviolable and capital thereby encouraged to high enterprise, labor is left without a lever with which to lift itself to perfect life and must sink back to barbarism.
William Cowper Brann
Other times you can get showy for three minutes, and that's OK with certain films. But that isn't right with an Ang Lee movie, you have to fit right in. You have to understand Ang, respect him and be part of the team and not be in charge of it - he is in charge of it.
Dennis Muren
True change takes place in the imagination.
The momentum of his utterances must be greater than any which his personal reputation and character can command.
Justice William J. Brennan, Jr.,
There is something about poverty that smells like death.
Zora Neale Hurston
I am often amazed at how much more capability and enthusiasm for science there is among elementary school youngsters than among college students.
Carl Sagan
For in all the world there are no people so piteous and forlorn as those who are forced to eat the bitter bread of dependency in their old age, and find how steep are the stairs of another man's house. Wherever they go they know themselves unwelcome. Wherever they are, they feel themselves a burden. There is no humiliation of the spirit they are not forced to endure. Their hearts are scarred all over with the stabs from cruel and callous speeches.
Dorothy Dix
There's stuff I don't like to rehearse, really emotional things, I don't like to rehearse. You just beat it to death.
Kat Dennings
Happiness: an agreeable sensation arising from contemplating the misery of another.
Ambrose Bierce
All progress is precarious, and the solution of one problem brings us face to face with another problem.
Martin Luther King, Jr., Strengt
Do not ever say that the desire to 'do good' by force is a good motive. Neither power-lust nor stupidity are good motives.
Ayn Rand
The quality, not the longevity, of one's life is what is important.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
The point of philosophy is to start with something so simple as not to seem worth stating, and to end with something so paradoxical that no one will believe it.
Bertrand Russell, The Philosophy
Unless there is recognition that women are most vulnerable... and you do something about social and cultural equality for women, you're never going to defeat this pandemic.
Stephen Lewis
I have suffered a great deal from writers who have quoted this or that sentence of mine either out of its context or in juxtaposition to some incongruous matter which quite distorted my meaning , or destroyed it altogether.
Alfred North Whitehead
I am a person whose father had no religion but who went to the nuns for a couple of years. And I think I'm the same: On one hand, I pray on the other hand, I don't believe. I am constantly between the two.
Anjelica Huston
Law represents the effort of man to organize society governments, the efforts of selfishness to overthrow liberty.
Henry Ward Beecher
