Nobody on this earth is perfect. Everybody has their flaws; everybody has their dark secrets and vices.
There was a power outage at a department store yesterday. Twenty people were trapped on the escalators.
Steven Wright
Society often forgives the criminal; it never forgives the dreamer.
Oscar Wilde
The history of human opinion is scarcely anything, more than the history of human errors
Voltaire
He who learns but does not think, is lost! He who thinks but does not learn is in great danger.
Confucius
Fate has carried me'Mid the thick arrows: I will keep my stand--Not shrink and let the shaft pass by my breastTo pierce another.
George Eliot
But the real secret to lifelong good health is actually the opposite: Let your body take care of you.
Deepak Chopra
Climbing to the top demands strength, whether it is to the top of Mount Everest or to the top of your career.
Abdul Kalam
Even if we die at 100, we're still dying young. I want at least 700 years. There's a lot of travelling and books to read and movies to see. I'm not going to squeeze it all in in 85 years.
Alexander Payne
Well-meaning, helpful, good-natured attitudes of mind have not come to be honored on account of their usefulness, but because they are states of richer souls that are capable of bestowing and have their value in the feeling of the plenitude of life.
Friedrich Nietzsche
I had never before been a special fan of that great comedian Phyllis Diller, but she utterly won my heart this week by sending me an envelope that, when opened, contained a torn-off square of brown-bag paper of the kind suitable for latrine duty in an ill-run correctional facility. Duly unfurled, it carried a handwritten salutation reading as follows:I could not possibly improve on the sentiment, but I don't think it ought to depend on the current austerities. Isn't Christmas a moral and aesthetic nightmare whether or not the days are prosperous?
Christopher Hitchens
This conflict between right and fact has endured since the origins of society. To bring the duel to an end, to consolidate the pure ideal with the human reality, to make the right peacefully interpenetrate the fact, and the fact the right, this is the work of the wise.
Victor Hugo
That to me was the most poignant part of Diana's wedding as she was walking up the aisle and her eyes were going left to right, looking at people and smiling in the way that Diana did - and that diamond tiara glittering like mad. It was great.
Bruce Oldfield
The perception of beauty is a moral test.
Henry David Thoreau
Polar north can't get away from a magnet; the magnet finds it, no matter what.
Jodi Picoult
Home is where one starts from.
T. S. Eliot
If the best of one's feelings means nothing to the person most concerned in those feelings, what reality is left us?
Virginia Woolf
In how many churches, by how many prophets, tell me, is man made sensible that he is an infinite Soul; that the earth and heavens are passing into his mind; that he is drinking forever the soul of God?
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Writing a book of poetry is like dropping a rose petal down the Grand Canyon and waiting for the echo.
Don Marquis
When theater becomes a soothing middle-class thing, when it's packaged as the Night Out, then that's the death of it.
Ralph Fiennes
We did not go out looking to build a cell tower.
Stephen Richards
God is not needed to create guilt or to punish. Our fellow men suffice, aided by ourselves. You were speaking of the Last Judgement. Allow me to laugh respectfully. I shall wait for it resolutely, for I have known what is worse, the judgement of men. For them, no extenuating circumstances; even the good intention is ascribed to crime. Have you at least heard of the spitting cell, which a nation recently thought up to prove itself the greatest on earth? A walled-up box in which the prisoner can stand without moving. The solid door that locks him in the cement shell stops at chin level. Hence only his face is visible, and every passing jailer spits copiously on it. The prisoner, wedged into his cell, cannot wipe his face, though he is allowed, it is true. to close his eyes. Well, that, mon cher, is a human invention. They didn't need God for that little masterpiece.
Albert Camus
Don't confuse hypothesis and theory. The former is a possible explanation the latter, the correct one. The establishment of theory is the very purpose of science.
Martin H. Fischer
We were a silent, hidden thought in the folds of oblivion, and we have become a voice that causes the heavens to tremble.
Kahlil Gibran
Do the best you can, and don't take life too serious.
Will Rogers
The question is, will we continue to fight what may be a rearguard action to defend universal literacy as a central goal of our education system, or are we bold enough to see what's actually happening to our culture?
Hugh Mackay
Abused patience turns to fury.
Thomas Fuller
It was his peculiar doctrine that a man has a perfect right to interfere by force with the slaveholder, in order to rescue the slave. I agree with him. They who are continually shocked by slavery have some right to be shocked by the violent death of the slaveholder, but no others.
Who can't relate to the idea of leaving one chapter behind and moving on to the next?
Mike Shinoda
I enjoyed being involved in team sports and making close friendships.
Brian McBride
To believe in something, and not to live it, is dishonest.
Mahatma Gandhi
Death must be so beautiful. To lie in the soft brown earth, with the grasses waving above one's head, and listen to silence. To have no yesterday, and no tomorrow. To forget time, to forgive life, to be at peace.
We are born to action and whatever is capable of suggesting and guiding action has power over us from the first.
Rush Limbaugh
The engineering is long gone in most PC companies. In the consumer electronics companies, they don't understand the software parts of it. And so you really can't make the products that you can make at Apple anywhere else right now. Apple's the only company that has everything under one roof.
Steve Jobs
In fact, I believe the first companies that make an effort to develop an authentic, transparent, and meaningful social contract with their fans and customers will turn out to be the ones that are the most successful in the future. While brands that refuse to make the effort will lose stature and customer loyalty.
Simon Mainwaring
Well, yes, I mean, I think that, you know, my sources suggest that there's a lot of support for the notion that there is a lot of Koran abuse and that it was very much a systematic design, not just an aberration.
Jane Mayer
Poetry proceeds from the totality of man, sense, imagination, intellect, love, desire, instinct, blood and spirit together.
Jacques Maritain
Over the centuries, mankind has tried many ways of combating the forces of evil... prayer, fasting, good works and so on. Up until Doom, no one seemed to have thought about the double-barrel shotgun. Eat leaden death, demon.
Terry Pratchett
Age: that period of life in which we compound for the vices that we still cherish by reviling those that we no longer have the enterprise to commit
Ambrose Bierce
There is a heroism in crime as well as in virtue. Vice and infamy have their altars and their religion.
William Hazlitt
There's more good music being made now than ever before.
David Byrne
