All the money in the world can't buy you back good health.
I do not believe that the Good Lord plays dice.
Albert Einstein
An oppressive government is more to be feared than a tiger.
Confucius
Few things are harder to put up with than a good example.
Mark Twain
I've always wanted to be a spy, and frankly I'm a little surprised that British intelligence has never approached me.
Elizabeth Hurley
...Granny Weatherwax, who had walked nightly without fear in the bandit-haunted forests of the mountains all her life in the certain knowledge that the darkness held nothing more terrible than she was...
Terry Pratchett
It is, finally, a word is untimely in three different senses, and bearing it as one's treasure will not win one anyone's favours one rather risks finding oneself outside everyone's camp... Beauty is the word that shall be our first.
Hans Urs von Balthasar
One also hears a great deal about how this awful joint tenure of the executive mansion was a good thing in that it conferred 'experience' on the despised and much-deceived wife. Well, the main 'experience' involved the comprehensive fouling-up of the nation's health-care arrangements, so as to make them considerably worse than they had been before and to create an opening for the worst-of-all-worlds option of the so-called HMO, combining as it did the maximum of capitalist gouging with the maximum of socialistic bureaucracy. This abysmal outcome, forgiven for no reason that I can perceive, was the individual responsibility of the woman who now seems to think it entitles her to the presidency.
Christopher Hitchens
Portland, Oregon won't build a mile of road without a mile of bike path. You can commute there, even with that weather, all the time.
Lance Armstrong
Love is a portion of the soul itself, and it is of the same nature as the celestial breathing of the atmosphere of paradise.
Victor Hugo
To be fair, I am not the same man. The one who listened. The one who believed her.
Jodi Picoult
Education can lift individuals out of poverty and into rewarding careers.
Christine Gregoire
Other filmmakers make their movies and put them out and that's that. For me, for some odd reason, it goes deeper than that.
Kevin Smith
Which painting in the National Gallery would I save if there was a fire? The one nearest the door of course.
George Bernard Shaw
Few if any seemed to have grasped the Principle of Reality; new knowledge leads always to yet more awesome mysteries. Greater physiological knowledge of the brain makes the existence of the soul less possible yet more probable by the nature of the search.
Stephen King
He who desires a lifetime of happiness with a beautiful woman desires to enjoy the taste of wine by keeping his mouth always full of it.
Nature is full of genius, full of the divinity so that not a snowflake escapes its fashioning hand.
Henry David Thoreau
A prayer couched in the words of the soul, is far more powerful than any ritual.
Paulo Coelho
The test of our progress is not whether we add more to the abundance of those who have much it is whether we provide enough for those who have little.
Franklin D. Roosevelt
Very few, if any, first-generation black or white or Asian kids will pursue a Ph.D. They'll pursue the professions for economic security. Many will go to law school and/or business school.
Henry Louis Gates
Stop blaming outside circumstances for your inside chaos.
Steve Maraboli
In the case of my book, I don't think it's really the coming-out gay novel that everyone really needed, even though it was received as such. The boy is too creepy, he betrays his teacher, the only adult man with whom he's enjoyed a sexual experience, etc.
Edmund White
If any man wish to write in a clear style, let him be first clear in his thoughts and if any would write in a noble style, let him first possess a noble soul.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Well, while you were in the bathroom, I sat down at this picnic table here in Bumblefug, Kentucky, and noticed that someone had carved that GOD HATES FAG, which, aside from being a grammatical nightmare, is absolutely ridiculous. So I'm changing it to 'God Hates Baguettes.' It's tough to disagree with that. Everybody hates baguettes.
John Green
There is a prospect greater than the sea, and that is the sky; there is a prospect greater than the sky, and it is the human soul.
If a man means to be hard, let him keep in his saddle and speak from that height, above the level of pleading eyes, and with the command of a distant horizon.
George Eliot
The characteristic political attitude of today is not one of positive belief, but of despair.
Herbert Read
Prophesy is a good line of business, but it is full of risks.
You can be fat and love yourself. You can be fat and have a great damn personality. You can be fat and sew your own clothes. But you can't be fat and healthy.
Susan Powter
I went to the eye doctor and found out I needed glasses for reading. So, I got some flip up contact lenses.
Steven Wright
No, I will be the pattern of all patience I will say nothing.
William Shakespeare
Mayors could never get away with the kind of nonsense that goes on in Washington. In our world, you either picked up the trash or you didn't. You either moved an abandoned car or you didn't. You either filled a pothole or you didn't. That's what we do every day. And we know how to get this stuff done.
Michael Nutter
There are two ways not to suffer from poverty. The first is to acquire more wealth. The second is to limit your requirements. The first is not always within our power, but the second is always in our power.
Leo Tolstoy
But in high school the business of irrevocable choices began. Doors slipped shut with a faint locking click that was only heared clearly in the dreams of later years.
It is often necessary to know how to obey a woman in order sometimes to have the right to command her.
I don't believe in guilt, I believe in living on impulse as long as you never intentionally hurt another person, and don't judge people in your life. I think you should live completely free.
Angelina Jolie
It has been said that man is a rational animal. All my life I have been searching for evidence which could support this.
Bertrand Russell
I wash my hands of those who imagine chattering to be knowledge, silence to be ignorance, and affection to be art.
Khalil Gibran
Innovations that are guided by smallholder farmers, adapted to local circumstances, and sustainable for the economy and environment will be necessary to ensure food security in the future.
Bill Gates
No man fails who does his best.
Orison Swett Marden
Dwell as near as possible to the channel in which your life flows.
