Nothing is as obnoxious as other people's luck.
My success was not based so much on any great intelligence but on great common sense.
Helen Gurley Brown
Find out who you are and be that person. That's what your soul was put on this Earth to be. Find that truth, live that truth and everything else will come.
Ellen DeGeneres
The judge should not be young; he should have learned to know evil, not from his own soul, but from late and long observation of the nature of evil in others: knowledge should be his guide, not personal experience.
Plato
When a woman has scholarly inclinations there is usually something wrong with her sexuality
Friedrich Nietzsche
As a partner in a firm full of women who work outside of the home as well as stay at home mothers, all with plenty of children, gender equality is not a talking point for me. It is an issue I live every day.
Hilary Rosen
The scar had not pained Harry for nineteen years. All was well.
J.K. Rowling
Horror, for me, has to involve some sort of fantasy. Horror is something that is in your dreams or your nightmares.
Cassandra Peterson
Break the glass, please, and free us from all these damned rules, from needing to find an explanation for everything, from doing only what others approve of.
Paulo Coelho
How long most people would look at the best book before they would give the price of a large turbot for it?
John Ruskin
If you have only one passion in life - football - and you pursue it to the exclusion of everything else, it becomes very dangerous. When you stop doing this activity it is as though you are dying. The death of that activity is a death in itself.
Eric Cantona
The human voice can never reach the distance that is covered by the still small voice of conscience.
Mahatma Gandhi
The key to artificial intelligence has always been the representation.
Jeff Hawkins
The anthropologists got it wrong when they named our species Homo sapiens ('wise man'). In any case it's an arrogant and bigheaded thing to say, wisdom being one of our least evident features. In reality, we are Pan narrans, the storytelling chimpanzee.
Terry Pratchett
The purpose of a writer is to be read, and the criticism which would destroy the power of pleasing must be blown aside
Samuel Johnson
No beast so fierce but knows some touch of pity. But I know none, and therefore am no beast.
William Shakespeare
First, I do not think there is any silver bullet to solving the technology side of the security equation.
John W. Thompson
Real art can only rarely be created even by a real artist; like a child in a mother's womb, it is the ripened fruit of his prior life. False art, though, can be ceaseless produced by craftsmen, according to the dictates of a market.
Leo Tolstoy
A fair day's wages for a fair day's work: it is as just a demand as governed men ever made of governing. It is the everlasting right of man.
Thomas Carlyle
At the University of Maryland, my first year I started off planning to major in art because I was interested in theatre design, stage design or television design.
Jim Henson
The dignity of his office is never impaired by the absence of efforts on his part to maintain it.
Charles Dickens
I had these kind of unrealistic expectations that were fueled by romantic comedies, and it has both helped me and hurt me in many ways. It helped me because, in general, they've made me hopeful. I just figure things will eventually work out for me. But nobody is like any Tom Hanks character. Nobody is Hugh Grant. No one is Meg Ryan!
Mindy Kaling
If we let ourselves, we shall always be waiting for some distraction or other to end before we can really get down to our work. The only people who achieve much are those who want knowledge so badly that they seek it while the conditions are still unfavorable. Favorable conditions never come.
C.S. Lewis
In my opinion, actual heroism, like actual love, is a messy, painful, vulnerable business and I wanted to try to reflect that.
John Green
As gold which he cannot spend will make no man rich, so knowledge which he cannot apply will make no man wise.
I was just doing my job in the ring and doing my best to make people happy.
Manny Pacquiao
Every baby born into the world is a finer one than the last
The classic rule of thumb is that if you are an intellectual ideological magazine, you do better in opposition than you do if your views are reflected by people in power.
John Podhoretz
Public sentiment is everything. With public sentiment, nothing can fail. Without it, nothing can succeed.
Abraham Lincoln
A refined nature is vexed by knowing that some one owes it thanks, a coarse nature by knowing that it owes thanks to some one
I can't advise any of the young ones, because I don't know what their background was, but I would suggest that anyone who wants to be famous more than anything - there's a real problem.
Shirley MacLaine
Remember!--It is Christianity to do good always--even to those who do evil to us. It is Christianity to love our neighbours as ourself, and to do to all men as we would have them do to us. It is Christianity to be gentle, merciful and forgiving, and to keep those qualities quiet in our own hearts, and never make a boast of them or of our prayers or of our love of God, but always to show that we love Him by humbly trying to do right in everything. If we do this, and remember the life and lessons of Our Lord Jesus Christ, and try to act up to them, we may confidently hope that God will forgive us our sins and mistakes, and enable us to live and die in peace.
I don't enjoy good food. I don't enjoy flashy cars. I don't care if I live in a dump. I don't enjoy good clothes. This is the best I've dressed in months.
Jack Kevorkian
All my movies are achingly personal.
Quentin Tarantino
A medal is a small metal disk given as a reward for virtues, attainments or services more or less authentic.

To create man was a fine and original idea; but to add the sheep was a tautology.

Well, the idea is that failure is an inevitable partner on the road to success and, if you're not willing to confront failure, you can never find out how good you are.
Peter Guber
Live your beliefs and you can turn the world around.
Henry David Thoreau
It is not only the living who are killed in war.
