When you meet up with a disagreeable person, never allow yourself to be upset. Say to yourself, if a dowdy like that can stand himself all his life, surely I can stand him for a few minutes.
Deep down, everyone wants the truth.
Keith Ablow
The people who come to watch us play, who love the team and regard it as part of their lives, would never appreciate Liverpool having a huge balance in the bank. They want every asset we possess to be wearing a red shirt.
Kenny Dalglish
Is it not by learning to read the book of nature with the eyes of faith that we come to recognize the drop of divinity that resides in our own souls though hidden, master? In the end is this not faith; to seek the light that takes us further, the light of Christ that brings that to which reason and knowledge alone can never raise itself? This is truth!
Adriana Koulias
What would men be without women? Scarce, sir...mighty scarce.
Mark Twain
I will not talk about people a thousand miles off, but come as near home as I can. As the time is short, I will leave out all the flattery, and retain all the criticism. Let us consider the way in which we spend our lives.
Henry David Thoreau
I have always been of opinion that a man who desires to get married should know either everything or nothing.
Oscar Wilde
In nonfiction, you have that limitation, that constraint, of telling the truth.
Peter Matthiessen
When I was in junior high school, the teachers voted me the student most likely to end up in the electric chair.
Sylvester Stallone
Dripping water hollows out stone, not through force but through persistence.
Ovid
I hate modern car radios. In my car, I don't even have a push-button radio. It's just got a dial and two knobs. Just AM. One knob makes it louder, and one knob changes the station. When you're driving, that's all I want.
Chris Isaak
Everybody has a right to like or dislike anything or anyone. From a flower to a flavor to a book or a composition but it is very sad that in our country we actually fight over such things in an unseemly manner.
Ravi Shankar
Observers should all measure the same speed of light, no matter how they are moving.
Albert Einstein
No man can taste the fruits of autumn while he is delighting his scent with the flowers of spring.
Samuel Johnson
(About sweeping)....What he was in FACT doing was moving the dirt around with a broom, to give it a change of scenery and a chance to make new friends.
Terry Pratchett
It is neither good nor bad, but thinking makes it so.
William Shakespeare
Was that really all there was to love? Darkness undone, a hand on your forehead. In the meantime all you could do was wait--tired, alone, the minutes as long or short as a lifetime--for the face in your dream to appear.
Eric Puchner
My failure, during the first five or six years of my art training, to get set in the right direction, and the disappointment which it caused me, drove me the more persistently into writing as an alternative.
Laurence Housman
? ? ? ? 'Tis to create, and in creating live? ? ? ? A being more intense, that we endow? ? ? ? With form our fancy, gaining as we give? ? ? ? The life we image, even as I do now.? ? ? ? What am I? Nothing: but not so art thou,? ? ? ? Soul of my thought! with whom I traverse earth,? ? ? ? Invisible but gazing, as I glow? ? ? ? Mix'd with thy spirit, blended with thy birth,And feeling still with thee in my crush'd feelings' dearth.
George Gordon Byron
And the view was suddenly clear to me. The world opened out to its grim beyonds and I realized that, at forty, one must learn the rigors of acceptance. Capitalize it: Acceptance. I needed to accept what was put before me--be it a watery grave in Ireland's only natural fjord, or a return to the city and its grayer intensities, or a wordless exile in some steaming Cambodian swamp hole, or poems or no poems, or children or not, lovers or not, illness or otherwise, success or its absence. I would accept all that was put in my way, from here on through until I breathed my last.
Kevin Barry
You've achieved success in your field when you don't know whether what you're doing is work or play.
Warren Beatty
An order of government, established by such an all-wise, powerful being, must be good and perfect, and must be calculated to promote the permanent peace, happiness, and well-being of all his subjects.
Orson Pratt
But to sustain a marriage for 50 years, you have to get real a little bit and find someone who is understanding and who you can grow with. My mom always says, 'Marry the man who loves you a millimeter more.'
Ali Larter
If your neighbor has a completely different view on abortion, gay marriage, stem cell research, all of those things, you still are both Americans. Neither one of you is necessarily more patriotic than the other. Neither loves their country any more than the other one does.
Phil McGraw
When I'm getting to know someone, I look for someone who has passions that I respect, like his career. Someone who loves what he does is really attractive.
Taylor Swift
The government deficit is the difference between the amount of money the government spends and the amount it has the nerve to collect.
Sam Ewing
There is much that public policy can do to support American entrepreneurs. Health insurance reform will make it easier for entrepreneurs to take a chance on a new business without putting their family's health at risk. Tort reform will make it easier to take prudent risks on new products in a number of sectors.
Eric Ries
I'm Method trained. How is this character like me? What does she think of her mother? What does her mother think of her? It's like construction, and then, yes, you hope you're talented and that the universe aligns and captures the kind of laborer's work you've done and whatever else sprinkles down on you, and it's all caught on film or onstage.
Ellen Barkin
My sister Jennifer is an Emmy winning journalist and mother of three amazing girls. She brings an exceptional dedication to her job, her family, and her community, and has been a role model of mine for many, many years. I'm extremely proud of her.
Ron Livingston
A lot of folks believe their best years are behind them. But I want Americans to recognize that's not true.
Mehmet Oz
So far, 44 States, or 88 percent of the States, have enacted laws providing that marriage shall consist of a union between a man and a woman. Only 75 percent of the States are required to approve a constitutional amendment.
Jack Kingston
Our dad was a great guy and we will never forget him.
Lara St. John
Robots are interesting because they exist as a real technology that you can really study - you can get a degree in robotics - and they also have all this pop-culture real estate that they take up in people's minds.
Daniel H. Wilson
I definitely don't look my age. So I actively look for roles that will help people change their perception of me.
Elijah Wood
I would love to sell millions of records, but that's never gonna be the case.
Buzz Osborne
Man, proud man, dressed in a little brief authority, like an angry ape, play such fantastic tricks before high heaven as make the angels weep
Truth...never comes into the world but like a bastard, to the ignominy of him that brought her forth.
John Milton
The consciousness of what you possess makes you put them to use
Justice Okafor
Can I really take God at his word?
K Howard Joslin
I've learned one thing: you can only really get to know a person after a row. Only then can you judge their true character!
Anne Frank
Now, even more than the evening before, he could think of no one with whom to compare her. She had become absolute, beyond comparison. She had become decision and fate.
