All the money in the world can't buy you back good health.
My death will be caused by morphine, which I have deliberately taken with suicidal intent.
Alex Campbell
I think that somebody with the resources and innovation and the idea is going to come out of nowhere and come up with a successful space travel program.
Kevin J. Anderson
Deliberation is the work of many men. Action, of one alone.
Charles de Gaulle
I get to play golf for a living. What more can you ask for - getting paid for doing what you love.
Tiger Woods
Only the most unapologetic biblical fundamentalists, for instance, take every biblical injunction literally. If we all took all scripture at the same level of authority, then we would be more open to slavery, to the subjugation of women, to wider use of stoning. Jesus himself spoke out frequently against divorce in the strongest of terms.
Jon Meacham
Red Letter Christians believe in the doctrines of the Apostle's Creed, are convinced that the Scriptures have been inspired by the Holy Spirit, and make having a personal transforming relationship with the resurrected Christ the touchtone of their faith.
Tony Campolo
I think we Americans, of all people, understand the importance of a good, legal, constitutional framework as the basis of political life.
Paul Bremer
Acting is not a mystery. There's nothing that I know that other actors don't know. We all act, we're all actors, we all know the same thing. The only thing that separates us is experience.
Vincent D'Onofrio
Say not, the struggle naught availeth,The labor and the wounds are vain,The enemy faints not, nor faileth,And as things have been, they remain.If hopes are dupes, fears may be liars;It may be, in yon smoke concealedYour comrades chase e'en now the fliersAnd, but for you, possess the field.For while the tired waves, vainly breaking,Seem here no painful inch to gain,Far back, through creeks and inlets making,Comes silent, flooding in, the main.And not by eastern windows only,When daylight comes, comes in the light;In front, the sun climbs slow, how slowly,But westward, look, the land is bright.
Arthur H. Clough, The Land is Br
The desire of advising has a very extensive prevalence; and, since advice cannot be given but to those that will hear it, a patient listener is necessary to the accommodation of all those who desire to be confirmed in the opinion of their own wisdom: a patient listener, however, is not always to be had; the present age, whatever age is present, is so vitiated and disordered, that young people are readier to talk than to attend, and good counsel is only thrown away upon those who are full of their own perfections.
Samuel Johnson, July 21, 1753
Your children are not your children.They are the sons and daughters of Life's longing for itself.They come through you but not from you.And though they are with you, yet they belong not to you.You may give them your love but not your thoughts.For they have their own thoughts.You may house their bodies but not their souls,For their souls dwell in the house of tomorrow,Which you cannot visit, not even in your dreams.You may strive to be like them, but seek not to make them like you,For life goes not backward nor tarries with yesterday.You are the bows from which your children as living arrows are sent forth.The archer sees the mark upon the path of the infinite, and He bends you with His might that His arrows might go swift and far.Let your bending in the archer's hand be for gladness;For even as He loves the arrow that flies,so He loves also the bow that is stable.
Kahlil Gibran
I'm a big fan of vampire movies generally and that sort of tradition of characters.
Michael Sheen
Words, when well chosen, have so great a force in them, that a description often gives us more lively ideas than the sight of things themselves.
Joseph Addison
Words - so innocent and powerless as they are, as standing in a dictionary, how potent for good and evil they become in the hands of one who knows how to combine them.
Nathaniel Hawthorne, American No
President Obama promised to begin to slow the rise of the oceans and heal the planet. My promise... is to help you and your family.
Mitt Romney
Kind words may be short... but their echoes are endless.
Mother Theresa
If mankind had not embedded itself, with the momentum of centuries and the passion of habit, in the id
Soren Kierkegaard, The Journals
The most boring scenes are the scenes where a character is alone.
Chuck Palahniuk
MRS. ALLONBY: She told me yesterday, and in quite a loud voice too, that she was only eighteen. It was most annoying. LORD ILLINGWORTH: One should never trust a woman who tells one her real age. A woman who would tell one that, would tell one anything.
Oscar Wilde, A Woman of No Impor
I came from Long Island, so I had a lot of experience at the stick. I played in junior high school, then I played in high school. The technical aspect of the game was my forte. I had all that experience, then I had strength and I was in good condition.
Jim Brown
The secret of a great success for which you are at a loss to account is a crime that has never been found out, because it was properly executed.paraphrased as: Behind every great fortune there is a crime
Honore de Balzac, Father Goriot
Black power can be clearly defined for those who do not attach the fears of white America to their questions about it.
Stokely Carmichael
Those who produce should have, but we know that those who produce the most - that is, those who work hardest, and at the most difficult and most menial tasks, have the least.
Eugene V. Debs
I'd probably be famous now if I wasn't such a good waitress.
Jane Siberry
Before I'd written movies, I never could do big set-piece scenes with a lot of different speakers - when you've got twelve people around a dinner table talking at cross purposes. I had always been impressed by other people's ability to do that.
Joan Didion
I want to thank all my fans, teammates, coaches and supporters for the strength they've given me to overcome so much.
Ricky Williams
Love is an emotion experienced by the many and enjoyed by the few.
George Jean Nathan
I feel fine, I don't care who the director is. All you have to do is know what your doing - all of us - everybody in the business - that's all you ask anyone - you know your job, I know mine, let's go do it.
Morgan Freeman
The environmental benefits of hydrogen are also outstanding. When used as an energy source, hydrogen produces no emissions besides water. Zero polluting emissions, an amazing advance over the current sources of energy that we use.
Dan Lipinski
When I was a teenager, I began to settle into school because I'd discovered the extracurricular activities that interested me: music and theater.
Rewards and punishments are the lowest form of education.
Zhuang Zi
Can anyone understand how it is to have lived in the White House and then, suddenly, to be living alone as the President's widow?
Jackie Kennedy
It's amazing how I can just ramble on for hours, isn't it? And so unentertaining or uninteresting. But I can ramble on for hours. It's a sort of terrible gift, isn't it?
Graham Norton
I hardly teach. It's more like a gathering of minds looking at one subject and learning from each other. I enjoy the process.
Fay Godwin
Don't change on me. Don't extort me unless you intend to do it forever.
Tupac Shakur
I don't know what religious people do. I kind of wished I'd been a Christian with the blind faith that God is doing the right thing. As a Buddhist, you feel like you have more control over the situation, and that you can change your karma.
Marcia Wallace
Poetry is a special use of language that opens onto the real. The business of the poet is truth telling, which is why in the Celtic tradition no one could be a teacher unless he or she was a poet.
Huston Smith
Thank you to all for your prayers and good wishes. It gave me the strength to persevere and warmed my heart.
Steven Cojocaru
Science is one of a handful of things that defines us as a very special species. It is amazing how far we have been able to get and how accurate our predictions are. I think understanding how the universe was born is very important. It really gives us a perspective on many things.
Yuri Milner
Sometimes, the only realists are the dreamers.
