Mama exhorted her children at every opportunity to 'jump at the sun.' We might not land on the sun, but at least we would get off the ground.
If you do not know where you come from, then you don't know where you are, and if you don't know where you are, then you don't know where you're going. And if you don't know where you're going, you're probably going wrong.
Terry Pratchett
I rate Morrissey as one of the best lyricists in Britain. For me, he's up there with Bryan Ferry.
David Bowie
No man or woman can be strong, gentle, pure, and good, without the world being better for it and without someone being helped and comforted by the very existence of that goodness.
Phillips Brooks
Do not make the mistake of treating your dogs like humans or they will treat you like dogs.
Martha Scott
Men seldom, or rather never for a length of time and deliberately, rebel against anything that does not deserve rebelling against.
Thomas Carlyle
Whatever else an American believes or disbelieves about himself, he is absolutely sure he has a sense of humor.
E. B. White
No one who has come to true greatness has not felt in some degree that his life belongs to the people, and what God has given them he gives it for mankind.
The game is my wife. It demands loyalty and responsibility, and it gives me back fulfillment and peace.
Michael Jordan
Jesus Christ, the condescension of divinity, and the exaltation of humanity.
You know, if you look back in the 1930s, the money went to infrastructure. The bridges, the municipal buildings, the roads, those were all built with stimulus money spent on infrastructure. This stimulus bill has fundamentally gone, started out with a $500 rebate check, remember. That went to buy flat-screen TVs made in China.
Michael Bloomberg
Be such a man, and live such a life, that if every man were such as you, and every life a life like yours, this earth would be God's Paradise.
Call your opinions your creed, and you will change them every week. Make your creed simply and broadly out of the revelation of God, and you will keep it to the end.
The people that make this country work, the people who pay on their mortgages, the people getting up and going to work, striving in this recession to not participate in it, they're not the enemy. They're the people that hire you. They're the people that are going to give you a job.
Rush Limbaugh
To say, well done to any bit of good work is to take hold of the powers which have made the effort and strengthen them beyond our knowledge.
The truth is that parents are not really interested in justice. They just want quiet.
Bill Cosby
Do not pray for easy lives. Pray to be stronger men. Do not pray for tasks equal to your powers. Pray for powers equal to your tasks.
To me, movies and music go hand in hand. When I'm writing a script, one of the first things I do is find the music I'm going to play for the opening sequence.
Quentin Tarantino
We may not be all that bright, Jace said, but at least we are alive.
Cassandra Clare
I do not pray for a lighter load, but for a stronger back.
Charity should begin at home, but should not stay there.
When I consider that the nobler animal have been exterminated here - the cougar, the panther, lynx, wolverine, wolf, bear, moose, dear, the beaver, the turkey and so forth and so forth, I cannot but feel as if I lived in a tamed and, as it were, emasculated country... Is it not a maimed and imperfect nature I am conversing with? As if I were to study a tribe of Indians that had lost all it's warriors...I take infinite pains to know all the phenomena of the spring, for instance, thinking that I have here the entire poem, and then, to my chagrin, I hear that it is but an imperfect copy that I possess and have read, that my ancestors have torn out many of the first leaves and grandest passages, and mutilated it in many places. I should not like to think that some demigod had come before me and picked out some of the best of the stars. I wish to know an entire heaven and an entire earth.
Henry David Thoreau
The four of us couldn't have made a record with the time left over when we were shooting the show. We were on stage from 7.30 in the morning 'til 7 at night. Later on, when there was a break from filming, and we were sick of doing it the old way.
Peter Tork
A prayer in its simplest definition is merely a wish turned Godward.
The reactionary is always willing to take a progressive attitude on any issue that is dead.
Theodore Roosevelt
My mom's passionate and energetic and very funny and enthusiastic.
Eric Stonestreet
Self-confidence is either a petty pride in our own narrowness, or the realization of our duty and privilege as God's children.
In three words I can sum up everything I've learned about life: it goes on.
Robert Frost
No man has come to true greatness who has not felt that his life belongs to his race, and that which God gives to him, He gives him for mankind.
San Francisco is a mad city - inhabited for the most part by perfectly insane people whose women are of a remarkable beauty.
Rudyard Kipling
I really, really love Hilary Clinton. I think she's very cool. She's out there and she's involved.
Sandra Bernhard
To thine own self be true, and it must follow, as the night the day, thou canst not then be false to any man.
William Shakespeare
Dreadful will be the day when the world becomes contented, when one great universal satisfaction spreads itself over the world. Sad will be the day for every man when he becomes absolutely contented with the life that he is living, with the thoughts that he is thinking, with the deeds that he is doing, when there is not forever beating at the doors of his soul some great desire to do something larger which he knows that he was meant and made to do because he is a child of God.
Little minds have little worries, big minds have no time for worries.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
It's cool to be recognised by your peers.
Frank Ocean
One swallow does not make a summer, nor does one day; and so too one day, or a short time, does not make a man blessed and happy.
Aristotle
God hears no more than the heart speaks; and if the heart be dumb, God will certainly be deaf.
Thomas Brooks
We have arrived at that point of time in which we are forced to see our own humiliation, as a nation, and that a progression in this line cannot be a productive of happiness, private or public.
Henry Knox
From '86 until the summer of last year, wherever I went, people would say, You would have made a great James Bond! Weren't you going to be James Bond? You should have been, you could have been, you may have been. Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes. It was like unfinished business in my life. I couldn't say no to it this time around.
Pierce Brosnan
Nobel Prize money is a lifebelt thrown to a swimmer who has already reached the shore in safety.
George Bernard Shaw
It has always felt like a failure that Bjorn and I couldn't keep our family together. You never get it back, but to this day I don't regret splitting up. The reason behind our separation is one of those things I definitely don't want to go into!
