People are capable of doing an awful lot when they have no choice and I had no choice. Courage is when you have choices.
Existence was given us for action. Our worth is determined by the good deed we do, rather than by the fine emotions we feel,
Edgar F. Magnin
You are the one who can stretch your own horizon.
Although we were never pals and occasionally butted heads, my relationship with Clinton and his wife, Hillary, made me a better journalist.
Ron Fournier
He took over anger to intimidate subordinates, and in time anger took over him.
Saint Albertus Magnus
A great thing can only be done by a great person and they do it without effort.
John Ruskin
The present reeks of mediocrity and the atom bomb.
Rene Magritte
Experience teaches us that we do not always receive the blessings we ask for in prayer.
Mary Baker Eddy
The mind loves the unknown. It loves images whose meaning is unknown, since the meaning of the mind itself is unknown.
The video game culture was an important thing to keep alive in the film because we're in a new era right now. The idea that kids can play video games like Grand Theft Auto or any video game is amazing. The video games are one step before a whole other virtual universe.
Vin Diesel
This is the sum of all -- righteousness. In causing pleasure or in giving pain, in doing good or injury to others, a man obtains a proper rule of action by looking at his neighbor as himself.
The Mahabharta
I actually feel like, for a lot of my career, I wasn't able to show my comedic range. I did a lot of dramas and dramedies. I was on 'E.R.' That's not generally thought of as a funny show.
Busy Philipps
Keep quiet. Do your work in the world, but inwardly keep quiet. Then all will come to you.
Nisaragada Ha Maharaj
The fact that I can plant a seed and it becomes a flower, share a bit of knowledge and it becomes another's, smile at someone and receive a smile in return, are to me continual spiritual exercises.
Leo Buscaglia
You know, sitting in the car when they got back in and - first of all, it was relief. I was not - there were two get away cars or switch cars they were called. And, you know, the group tended to include everyone.
Patty Hearst
We are all of us failures, at least, the best of us are.
James M. Barrie
Let your enemies be disarmed by the gentleness of your manner, but at the same time let them feel, the steadiness of your resentment.
Lord Chesterfield
I feel sympathy for the working class lad. I've always championed about ticket prices and try to equate that to people's salaries.
Alex Ferguson
There is a sort of veteran woman of condition, who, having lived always in the grand monde, and having possibly had some gallantries, together with the experience of five and twenty or thirty years, form a young fellow better than all the rules that can be given him. Wherever you go, make some of those women your friends; which a very little matter will do. Ask their advice, tell them your doubts or difficulties as to your behavior; but take great care not to drop one word of their experience; for experience implies age, and the suspicion of age, no woman, let her be ever so old, ever forgives.
In retrospect, the Millennium marked only a moment in time. It was the events of September 11 that marked a turning point in history, where we confront the dangers of the future and assess the choices facing humankind.
Tony Blair
Honest error is to be pitied, not ridiculed.
When a person is in fashion, all they do is right.
So when I go home, sometimes, even when I had an amazing game, I always think about what I missed.
Thierry Henry
As fathers commonly go, it is seldom a misfortune to be fatherless; and considering the general run of sons, as seldom a misfortune to be childless.
There is nothing worse that a thirteen-year-old boy. You're embarrassed by your parents, and you're trying to find your independance because, deep inside, you are so dependent on your mom.
Ben Affleck
Firmness of purpose is one of the most necessary sinews of character, and one of the best instruments of success. Without it genius wastes its efforts in a maze of inconsistencies.
Do we believe that there is equal economic opportunity out there in the real world, right now, for each and every one of these groups? If we believed in the tooth fairy, if we believed in the Easter Bunny, we might well believe that.
William Weld
Women who are either indisputably beautiful, or indisputably ugly, are best flattered upon the score of their understandings; but those who are in a state of mediocrity are best flattered upon their beauty, or at least their graces: for every woman who is not absolutely ugly, thinks herself handsome.
I think we need to ask serious questions about how we engage militarily, when we engage militarily, and on what basis we engage militarily. What kind of intelligence do we have to justify a military engagement?
Albert Wynn
Little, vicious minds abound with anger and revenge, and are incapable of feeling the pleasure of forgiving their enemies.
I know that my race must change.
Chief Joseph
Wrongs are often forgiven, but contempt never is. Our pride remembers it forever. It implies a discovery of weakness, which we are more careful to conceal than a crime. Many a man will confess his crimes to a friend; but I never knew a man that would tell his silly weaknesses to his most intimate one.
Politics is perhaps the only profession for which no preparation is thought necessary.
Robert Louis Stevenson
Most people enjoy the inferiority of their best friends.
Horse-play, romping, frequent and loud fits of laughter, jokes, and indiscriminate familiarity, will sink both merit and knowledge into a degree of contempt. They compose at most a merry fellow; and a merry fellow was never yet a respectable man.
My childhood, I would say, was a bit sad. Society resents that.
Columba Bush
A constant smirk upon the face, and a whiffing activity of the body, are strong indications of futility.
Women are more skilled than men at making gossip entertaining.
Kate Fox
The scholar without good breeding is a nitpicker; the philosopher a cynic; the soldier a brute and everyone else disagreeable.
And indeed this theme has been at the centre of all my research since 1943, both because of its intrinsic fascination and my conviction that a knowledge of sequences could contribute much to our understanding of living matter.
Frederick Sanger
Good breeding is the result of good sense, some good nature, and a little self-denial for the sake of others.
