One person's car is another person's scenery.
Your divine sagacity is your life's status symbol.
Ogwo David Emenike
Very few beings really seek knowledge in this world. Mortal or immortal, few really ASK. On the contrary, they try to wring from the unknown the answers they have already shaped in their own minds.
Anne Rice
Oh darling, don't be bitter. It's the first instinct of the weak.
Sarah Dessen
A breeze blew through the room, blew curtains in at one end and out the other like pale flags, twisting them up towards the frosted wedding-cake of the ceiling, and then rippled over the wine-coloured rug, making a shadow on it as wind does on the sea.
F. Scott Fitzgerald
Prophecy: Two bull's eyes out of a possible million
Mark Twain
It is reasonable to have perfection in our eye that we may always advance toward it, though we know it can never be reached.
Samuel Johnson
The piano is able to communicate the subtlest universal truths by means of wood, metal and vibrating air.
Kenneth Miller
The courage to cooperate or initiate are based entirely on the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth as the divine mind within you tells you the truth is. It really does require a courage and a self-disciplining to go along with that truth.
Buckminster Fuller
Here's the truth. The proposed top rate of income tax is not 50 per cent. It is 50 per cent plus 1.5 per cent national insurance paid by employees plus 13.3 per cent paid by employers. That's not 50 per cent. Two years from now, Britain will have the highest tax rate on earned income of any developed country.
Andrew Lloyd Webber
No matter who you are, no matter what you did, no matter where you've come from, you can always change, become a better version of yourself.
Madonna
History was a series of decisions about what to tell and a series of accidents about what survived after telling. Not truth, but a historian could search for truth, and the search was as worthy as any other human activity.
David Drake
Everything that had happened was shockingly beautiful, enough to make you crazy.
Banana Yoshimoto
The only way to make sure people you agree with can speak is to support the rights of people you don't agree with.
Eleanor Holmes Norton
Plant a kernel of wheat and you reap a pint; plant a pint and you reap a bushel. Always the law works to give you back more than you give.
Anthony Norvell
The opinions that the price of commodities depends solely on the proportion of supply and demand, or demand to supply, has become almost an axiom in political economy, and has been the source of much error in that science.
David Ricardo
It's not rocket science. It's social science.
Clement Mok
He had only one vanity; he thought he could give advice better than any other person
life is either a reproducible, almost commonplace manifestation of matter, given certain conditions, or a miracle. Too many steps are involved to allow for something in between.
Christian de Duve
Racism is still with us. But it is up to us to prepare our children for what they have to meet, and, hopefully, we shall overcome.
Rosa Parks
But my passion is racing cars. It's what I like to do in my off time.
Mark-Paul Gosselaar
I don't have any romantic ideas about marriage. Trust me. A white dress... ? No. It's not something for me.
Diane Kruger
I've done a lot of training in martial arts. I started out in warring tempo, I did sports jujitsu, and I've also practiced extreme martial arts.
Booboo Stewart
The difference between a mountain and a molehill is your perspective.
Al Neuharth
The sciences do not try to explain, they hardly even try to interpret, they mainly make models. By a model is meant a mathematical construct which, with the addition of certain verbal interpretations describes observed phenomena. The justification of such a mathematical construct is solely and precisely that it is expected to work.
John von Neumann
The commercial class has always mistrusted verbal brilliancy and wit, deeming such qualities, perhaps with some justice, frivolous and unprofitable.
Dorothy Nevill
As for the forces, electromagnetism and gravity we experience in everyday life. But the weak and strong forces are beyond our ordinary experience. So in physics, lots of the basic building blocks take 20th- or perhaps 21st-century equipment to explore.
Edward Witten
The real art of conversation is not only to say the right thing at the right place but to leave unsaid the wrong thing at the tempting moment.
Is marijuana addictive? Yes, in the sense that most of the really pleasant things in life are worth endlessly repeating.
Richard Neville
Rock 'n Roll is an asylum for emotional idiots.
Living with a saint is more grueling than being one.
Robert Neville
Show me the leader and I will know his men. Show me the men and I will know their leader.
Arthur W. Newcomb
The basic principle of turning ideas into big money is to seize every money building idea and work with it until the idea fits your purpose, decide on the steps needed to make it work, and then proceed to do it as soon as possible.
Duane Newcomb
I don't mind occasionally having to reinvent a wheel; I don't even mind using someone's reinvented wheel occasionally. But it helps a lot if it is symmetric, contains no fewer than ten sides, and has the axle centered. I do tire of trapezoidal wheels with offset axles.
Joseph Newcomer
I love the male body, it's better designed than the male mind.
Andrea Newman
It is as absurd to argue men, as to torture them, into believing.
Cardinal J. Newman
Nothing would be done at all if one waited until one could do it so well that no one could find fault with it.
Kids are smart. Knowledge is power. Let them figure things out. Don't turn into that grown-up who they won't come to.
Lauren Myracle
Virtue is its own reward, and brings with it the truest and highest pleasure; but if we cultivate it only for pleasure's sake, we are selfish, not religious, and will never gain the pleasure, because we can never have the virtue.
Let us act on what we have, since we have not what we wish.
A good composer is slowly discovered a bad composer is slowly found out.
