When was the last time you spent a quiet moment just doing nothing - just sitting and looking at the sea, or watching the wind blowing the tree limbs, or waves rippling on a pond, a flickering candle or children playing in the park?

When I was a kid, the only way I saw movies was from the back seat of my family's car at the drive-in.

Learn the ABC of science before you try to ascend to its summit.

Ivan Pavlov

People talk fundamentals and superlatives and then make some changes of detail.

Oliver Wendell Holmes

I was surrounded by strong women so it had never even occurred to me that women were anything other than equal to men.

David Bailey

Many agricultural counties are far more important in the life of the State than their population bears to the entire population of the State. It is for this reason that I have never been in favor of restricting their representation in our State Senate to a strictly population basis. It is the same reason that the founding fathers of our country gave balanced representation to the States of the Union, equal representation in one House and proportionate representation based upon population in the other.

Earl Warren

To be famous, in fact, one has only to kill one's landlady.

Albert Camus

We love your adherence to democratic principles and to the democratic process.

George H. W. Bush

It is curious how there seems to be an instinctive disgust in Man for his nearest ancestors and relations. If only Darwin could conscientiously have traced man back to the Elephant or the Lion or the Antelope, how much ridicule and prejudice would have been spared to the doctrine of Evolution.

Havelock Ellis

Everybody finished the song at different times. At last, only the Weasley twins were left singing along to a very slow funeral march.

J.K. Rowling

What I point out to people is that it's silly to be afraid that you're not going to get what you want if you ask. Because you are already not getting what you want. They always laugh about that because they realize it's so true. Without asking you already have failed, you already have nothing. What are you afraid of? You're afraid of getting what you already have! It's ridiculous! Who cares if you don't get it when you ask for it, because, before you ask for it, you don't have it anyway. So there's really nothing to be afraid of.

You go to Holland, France, Germany, every community, the tiniest village, they have magnificent, pristine sports facilities.

Graham Taylor

To do an evil act is base. To do a good one without incurring danger, is common enough. But it is part of a good man to do great and noble deeds though he risks everything in doing them.

Plutarch
