Douglass North
You cannot look up at the night sky on the Planet Earth and not wonder what it's like to be up there amongst the stars. And I always look up at the moon and see it as the single most romantic place within the cosmos.
Tom Hanks
I look upon indolence as a sort of suicide; for the man is effectually destroyed, though the appetites of the brute may survive.
Lord Chesterfield
Hope in reality is the worst of all evils because it prolongs the torments of man.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Inferiority is what you enjoy in your best friends.
It's kind of ironic that the two sports with the greatest characters, boxing and horse racing, have both been on the decline. In both cases it's for the lack of a suitable hero.
Dick Schaap

I know it sounds new age-y, but what I've truly come up with is that you really need to trust that you're on your own path, as long as you stay true to it and you show up, which is 99% of it.
Jane Lynch

Vinny Guadagnino
Politeness is as much concerned in answering letters within a reasonable time, as it is in returning a bow, immediately.
