Nature is a petrified magic city.
I respect country music because I feel like it's more about the talent and the songwriting and I put on a big show and we have a lot of stuff, but I feel confident in myself enough as an artist and a singer that I can have all of those fun toys and know that we don't need all the bells and whistles either.

First play I ever did was 'Footloose.' I played the part of Willard when I was 16. I think I wore my drama teacher's jeans and her belt - that's how small I was. I know a lot of Willard's back story from the musical that's not explored in the film. Like he's got this whole relationship with his mama, and he sings this song 'Mama Says.'
Miles Teller
One thing they never tell you about child raising is that for the rest of your life, at the drop of a hat, you are expected to know your child's name and how old he or she is.
Erma Bombeck
Those who, while they disapprove of the character and measures of a government, yield to it their allegiance and support are undoubtedly its most conscientious supporters, and so frequently the most serious obstacles to reform.
Henry David Thoreau
If it seems to us that we are not satisfied with life, we should see this as a reason to be unsatisfied with ourselves.
Leo Tolstoy
With Cosmic Ordering, the best days of your life are always ahead of you.
Stephen Richards
Imagine a world in which every single person on the planet is given free access to the sum of all human knowledge. That's what we're doing.
Jimmy Wales
Living in an age of advertisement, we are perpetually disillusioned. The perfect life is spread before us every day, but it changes and withers at a touch.

They say geniuses mostly have great mothers. They mostly have sad fates.
David Herbert Lawrence
Under capitalism, man exploits man. Under communism, it's just the opposite.
John Kenneth Galbraith
Telling others about oneself is...no simple matter. It depends on what we think they think we ought to be like
Jerome Bruner, Making Stories: L
Nothing in oratory is more important than to win for the orator the favour of his hearer, and to have the latter so affected as to be swayed by something resembling an impulse of the spirit impetu quodam animi or emotion perturbatione, rather than by judgment or deliberation. For men decide far more problems by hate, or love, or lust, or rage, or sorrow, or joy, or hope, or fear, or illusion, or some other inward emotion aliqua permotione mentis, than by reality or authority, or any legal standard, or judicial precedent or statute.
Marcus Tullius Cicero, Marcus An
I would want my legacy to be that I was a great son, father and friend.
Dante Hall
More than at any other time in history, mankind faces a crossroads. One path leads to despair and utter hopelessness. The other, to total extinction. Let us pray we have the wisdom to choose correctly.I speak, by the way, not with any sense of futility, but with a panicky conviction of the absolute meaninglessness of existence which could easily be misinterpreted as pessimism. It is not. It is merely a healthy concern for the predicament of modern man.
Woody Allen, My Speech to the Gr
Gold conjures up a mist about a man, more destructive of all his old senses and lulling to his feelings than the fumes of charcoal.
Charles Dickens
The 80/20 Principle exists in your business, then the most profitable 1/5 of your business is 16 times more profitable than the remaining 4/5.
Lee J. Colan, Sticking to It
You don't have to be great to get started, but you do have to get started to be great.
The hardest thing for your competitors to match is the most unique aspect of your organization - the MINDS and HEARTS of your employees

Were kisses all the joys in bed,/One woman would another wed.

Aziraphale collected books. If he were totally honest with himself he would have to have admitted that his bookshop was simply somewhere to store them. He was not unusual in this. In order to maintain his cover as a typical second-hand book seller, he used every means short of actual physical violence to prevent customers from making a purchase. Unpleasant damp smells, glowering looks, erratic opening hours - he was incredibly good at it.
Terry Pratchett

What differentiates us from animals is the fact that we can listen to other people's dreams, fears, joys, sorrows, desires and defeats - and they in turn can listen to ours.
Henning Mankell
A single act does make a difference...it creates a ripple effect that can be felt many miles and people away.
Lee J. Colan, Orchestrating Atti
Life's rewards go to those who let their actions rise above their excuses.
We managed to put together a compilation that had some creativity to it. In the meantime I was listening to the free radio stations and I noticed that during their war coverage they were playing these songs born out of the Vietnam War that were all critical of the soldiers.
Joni Mitchell
Our actual experiences are much less important that how we choose to think about them.
People tend to find books when they are ready for them.
Neil Gaiman
Patience and time do more than strength or passion.
Jean de La Fontaine
Help is not help until it is given, so turn your intentions to help into acts of help. We judge ourselves by our intentions, but others judge us by our actions.
It's amazing how fast generations lose sight of other generations. One of the first things the young composers who come to work with me say is that they want to write music people will like, instead of gaining their credentials by being rejected by the audience.
Carlisle Floyd
Complexity creates a maze between you and success. Simplicity ensures a clear line of sight.

Nothing we achieve in this world is achieved alone. It is always achieved with others teaching us along the way.
