I never drink water. I'm afraid it will become habit-forming.
Men, like bullets, go farthest when they are smoothest.
Jean Paul Richter
A full mind is an empty bat.
Branch Rickey
He who believes in freedom of the will has never loved and never hated.
Marie von Ebner-Eschenbach
When a language creates -- as it does -- a community within the present, it does so only by courtesy of a community between the present and the past.
Christopher Ricks
I've also long since realized that the way to really engage children is to give out prizes it's amazing how it concentrates their minds.
Alexander McCall Smith
Your greatest self has been waiting your whole life; don't make it wait any longer.
Steve Maraboli
Your Design mind (right brain) attends to the melody of life, whereas your Sign mind (left brain) attends to the notes that compose the melodies. And here is the key to natural writing: the melodies must come first.
Gabriele Lusser Rico
A government, for protecting business only, is but a carcass, and soon falls by its own corruption and decay.
Amos Bronson Alcott
The thought pattern characteristic of the right brain lends itself to the formation of original ideas, insights, discoveries. We might describe it as the kind of thought prevalent in early childhood, when everything is new and everything has meaning. If you have ever walked along a beach and suddenly stopped to pick up a piece of driftwood because it looked to you like a leaping impala or a troll, you know the feeling of pleasure that comes from the sudden recognition of a form. Your Design mind (right brain) has perceived connections and had made a pattern of meaning. It takes logical, rational acts and facts of the world you know, the snippets of your experience, the bits and pieces of your language capabilities, and perceives connections, patterns, and relationships in them.
No matter what Joe Hoffman and Wade Preston say, it's not gender that makes a family; it's love. You don't need a mother and a father; you don't necessarily even need two parents. You just need someone who's got your back.
Jodi Picoult
Peace and justice are two sides of the same coin.
Dwight D. Eisenhower
There can be no literary equivalent to truth.
Laura Riding
People should be free, people should be unencumbered by regulation as much as possible, that big government always goes corrupt and the truth shall always set you free.
Glenn Beck
Art, whose honesty must work through artifice, cannot avoid cheating truth.
006 was such an interesting character and the film really explored his friendship with Bond and how it all went wrong, so it was a very personal journey for both characters.
Sean Bean
And when our baby stirs and struggles to be born it compels humility: what we began is now its own.
Anne Ridler
Well, first of all, we now have everybody with the exception of India, Pakistan, and Israel, and I don't think these three countries are going to join by simply providing them an incentive, in terms of technology.
Mohamed ElBaradei
And those who only know the non-platonic love have no need to talk of tragedy. In such love there can be no sort of tragedy.
Leo Tolstoy
Friendship is a very simple word, very commonly used. The word friend is almost used on a daily basis. Yet, the depth and meaning of friendship certainly go beyond the simple and the common. Throughout history friendship has been a favorite theme for many writers. The following passages highlight what others have said about friendship in the past.
Dorothy Riera
I've always been too hard on myself to behave like I've arrived or even to enjoy whatever success I've had. I've always envisioned myself higher than where I was and I still do. With each success I think, 'That's nice but I'm supposed to go there!'
Nicole Scherzinger
These virtues are formed in man by his doing the actions ... The good of man is a working of the soul in the way of excellence in a complete life.
Aristotle
Marriage is a lottery in which men stake their liberty and women their happiness.
Madame De Rieux
It's high time for the art world to admit that the avant-garde is dead. It was killed by my hero, Andy Warhol, who incorporated into his art all the gaudy commercial imagery of capitalism (like Campbell's soup cans) that most artists had stubbornly scorned.
Camille Paglia
Some defeats are only installments to victory.
Jacob Riis
No witch has ever claimed to own the Elder Wand. Make of that what you will.
J.K. Rowling
The only way to make a man trustworthy is to trust him.
Henry L. Stimson
When nothing seems to help, I go look at a stonecutter hammering away at his rock perhaps a hundred times without as much as a crack showing in it. Yet at the hundred and first blow it will split in two, and I know it was not that blow that did it, but all that had gone before.
I don't want to just be in the normal kind of teen movie.
Stephen Dorff
Dare to BeWhen a new day begins, dare to smile gratefully.When there is darkness, dare to be the first to shine a light.When there is injustice, dare to be the first to condemn it.When something seems difficult, dare to do it anyway.When life seems to beat you down, dare to fight back.When there seems to be no hope, dare to find some.When you're feeling tired, dare to keep going.When times are tough, dare to be tougher.When love hurts you, dare to love again.When someone is hurting, dare to help them heal.When another is lost, dare to help them find the way.When a friend falls, dare to be the first to extend a hand.When you cross paths with another, dare to make them smile.When you feel great, dare to help someone else feel great too.When the day has ended, dare to feel as you've done your best.Dare to be the best you can. At all times, Dare to be!
We are decent 99 percent of the time, when we could easily be vile.
R. W. Riis
The greatest education in the world is watching the masters at work.
Michael Jackson
The big will get bigger; the small will get wiped out.
Meshulam Riklis
I find forgiveness to be really healthy.
Ben Affleck
It doesn't pay to say too much when you are mad enough to choke. For the word that stings the deepest is the word that is never spoke, Let the other fellow wrangle till the storm has blown away, then he'll do a heap of thinking about the things you didn't say.
James Whitcomb Riley
Continuous, unflagging effort, persistence and determination will win. Let not the man be discouraged who has these.
To an adolescent, there is nothing in the world more embarrassing than a parent.
Dave Barry
The most essential factor is persistence -- the determination never to allow your energy or enthusiasm to be dampened by the discouragement that must inevitably come.
My parent's divorce and hard times at school, all those things combined to mold me, to make me grow up quicker. And it gave me the drive to pursue my dreams that I wouldn't necessarily have had otherwise.
Christina Aguilera
I spy with my little eye a great story.
John Green
Discipline is not a nasty word.
Pat Riley
