The losses as well as the prizes must be drawn from the cheating lottery of life.
Cinematography is infinite in its possibilities... much more so than music or language.
Conrad Hall
One's work usually occupies more than half of one's waking life. Choosing work that does not bring happiness will lead to a life that is mostly disappointing.
Bo Bennett
To withdraw is not to run away, and to stay is no wise action, when there's more reason to fear than to hope.
Miguel de Cervantes
Loss means losing what was We want to change but we don't want to lose. Without time for loss, we don't have time for soul.
James Hillman
It is even better to act quickly and err than to hesitate until the time of action is past.
Karl Von Clausewitz
Critics are those who have failed in literature and art.
Benjamin Disraeli
Mr Kremlin himself was distinguished for ignorance, for he had only one idea,and that was wrong.
For nearly five years the present Ministers have harassed every trade, worried every profession, and assailed or menaced every class, institution, and species of property in the country. Occasionally they have varied this state of civil warfare by perpetrating some job which outraged public opinion, or by stumbling into mistakes which have been always discreditable, and sometimes ruinous. All this they call a policy, and seem quite proud of it; but the country has, I think, made up its mind to close this career of plundering and blundering.
I am a Conservative to preserve all that is good in our constitution, a Radical to remove all that is bad. I seek to preserve property and to respect order, and I equally decry the appeal to the passions of the many or the prejudices of the few.
That we may live to see England once more possess a free Monarchy and a privileged and prosperous People, is my Prayer; that these great consequences can only be brought about by the energy and devotion of our Youth is my persuasion. We live in an age when to be young and to be indifferent can be no longer synonymous. We must prepare for the coming hour. The claims of the Future are represented by suffering millions; and the Youth of a Nation are the trustees of Posterity.
I have climbed to the top of the greasy pole!
I welcome and seek your ideas, but do not bring me small ideas bring me big ideas to match our future.
Arnold Schwarzenegger
I was told, continued Egremont, that an impassable gulf divided the Rich from the Poor; I was told that the Privileged and the People formed Two Nations, governed by different laws, influenced by different manners, with no thoughts or sympathies in common; with an innate inability of mutual comprehension.
You cannot choose between party government and Parliamentary government. I say you can have no Parliamentary government if you have no party government; and therefore when gentlemen denounce party government, they strike at the scheme of government which, in my opinion, has made this country great, and which, I hope, will keep it great.
You have despoiled churches. You have threatened every corporation and endowment in the country. You have examined into everybodys affairs. You have criticised every profession and vexed every trade. No one is certain of his property, and nobody knows what duties he may have to perform to-morrow. This is the policy of confiscation as compared with that of concurrent endowment.
At present the peace of the world has been preserved, not by statesmen, but by capitalists.
Then there was a maiden speech, so inaudible, that it was doubted whether, after all, the young orator really did lose his virginity.
I have always thought that every woman should marry, and no man.
In a world where there is so much to be done, I felt strongly impressed that there must be something for me to do.
Dorothy Dix
Confession is always weakness. The grave soul keeps its own secrets, and takes its own punishment in silence.
I'm certain that most couples expect to find intimacy in marriage, but it somehow eludes them.
Dr. James Dobson
To succeed you need to find something to hold on to, something to motivate you, something to inspire you.
Tony Dorsett
Arriving at one goal is the starting point to another.
Fyodor Dostoyevsky
I think the drummer should sit back there and play some drums, and never mind about the tunes. Just get up there and wail behind whoever is sitting up there playing the solo. And this is what is lacking, definitely lacking in music today.
Buddy Rich
It is not possible to eat me without insisting that I sing praises of my devourer?
It seems, in fact, as though the second half of a man's life is made up of nothing, but the habits he has accumulated during the first half.
O Lord, help me to be pure, but not yet.
Saint Augustine
It seems to me madness to wake up in the morning and do something other than paint, considering that one may not wake up the following morning.
Frank Auerbach
Although Freud said happiness is composed of love and work, reality often forces us to choose love or work.
Letty Cottin Pogrebin
Sports is all about money.
Lynn Samuels
Because of their size, parents may be difficult to discipline properly.
P. J. O'Rourke
For many years, it seemed as if nothing changed in Norway. You could leave the country for three months, travel the world, through coups d'etat, assassinations, famines, massacres and tsunamis, and come home to find that the only new thing in the newspapers was the crossword puzzle.
Jo Nesbo
I love glamour and artificial beauty. I love the idea of artifice and dressing up and makeup and hair.
Dita Von Teese
The law does not pretend to punish everything that is dishonest. That would seriously interfere with business.
Clarence Darrow
Computers have become more friendly, understandable, and lots of years and thought have been put into developing software to convince people that they want and need a computer.
Roberta Williams
The way people in democracies think of the government as something different from themselves is a real handicap. And, of course, sometimes the government confirms their opinion.
Lewis Mumford
It is the false shame of fools to try to conceal wounds that have not healed.
Horace
A jest often decides matters of importance more effectual and happily than seriousness.
In the word of no master am I bound to believe.
He is armed without who is innocent within, be this thy screen, and this thy wall of brass.
