All people are your relatives, therefore expect only trouble from them.
Let me embrace thee, sour adversity, for wise men say it is the wisest course.
William Shakespeare
My mother drew a distinction between achievement and success. She said that achievement is the knowledge that you have studied and worked hard and done the best that is in you. Success is being praised by others. That is nice but not as important or satisfying. Always aim for achievement and forget about success.
Helen Hayes
If you look at romantic comedies as pieces of commerce, the audience is looking for wish fulfillment.
Tom Hanks
We relish news of our heroes, forgetting that we are extraordinary to somebody too.
He was a quick fellow, and when hot from play, would toss himself in a corner, and in five minutes be deep in any sort of book that he could lay his hands on: if it were Rasselas or Gulliver, so much the better, but Bailey's Dictionary would do, or the Bible with the Apocrypha in it. Something he must read, when he was not riding the pony, or running and hunting, or listening to the talk of men. All this was true of him at ten years of age; he had then read through Chrysal, or the Adventures of a Guinea, which was neither milk for babes, nor any chalky mixture meant to pass for milk, and it had already occurred to him that books were stuff, and that life was stupid.
George Eliot
The free market economy is supposed to be the only path leading to the happiness of humanity by promoting wealth and prosperity, power and influence of nations.
Omar Bongo
The hardest years in life are those between ten and seventy.
It feels quite cool, in a mad way, to be someone who skulks about in the shadows.
Peter Baynham
The story of a love is not important -- what is important is that one is capable of love. It is perhaps the only glimpse we are permitted of eternity.
I don't think any other holiday embraces the food of the Midwest quite like Thanksgiving. There's roasted meat and mashed potatoes. But being here is also about heritage. Cleveland is really a giant melting pot - not only is my family a melting pot, but so is the city.
Michael Symon
If you rest, you rust.
In the silence of night I have often wished for just a few words of love from one man, rather than the applause of thousands of people.
Judy Garland
He serves his party best who serves his country best.
Rutherford B. Hayes
Journey with me to a true commitment to our environment. Journey with me to the serenity of leaving to our children a planet in equilibrium.
Paul Tsongas
All good books are alike in that they are truer than if they really happened and after you are finished reading one you feel that it all happened to you and after which it all belongs to you.
Ernest Hemingway
Economics is haunted by more fallacies than any other study known to man. This is no accident. The inherent difficulties of the subject would be great enough in any case, but they are multiplied a thousandfold by a factor that is insignificant in , say, physics, mathematics, or medicine -- the special pleading of selfish interests.
Henry Hazlitt
Jessica Simpson is the youth ambassador for Operation Smile, and an episode of The Apprentice featured a team managing a charity concert she put on. Donald Trump came on stage and pledged a donation.
Roma Downey
To be happy, we must be true to nature, and carry our age along with us.
William Hazlitt
Experimentation is an active science.
Claude Bernard
People always say that, when you love someone, nothing in the world matters. But that's not true, is it? You know, and I know, that when you love someone, everything in the world matters a little bit more.
Jodi Picoult
The worst old age is that of the mind.
Life is the art of being well deceived.
Cunning is the art of concealing our own defects, and discovering the weaknesses of others.
Guys like Henry and his buddies were an accident waiting to happen; the little kids' version of floods or tornadoes or gallstones.
Stephen King
Reflection makes men cowards.
My feeling is that labels are for canned food... I am what I am - and I know what I am.
Michael Stipe
A strong passion for any object will ensure success, for the desire of the end will point out the means.
'Tis education forms the common mind just as the twig is bent the tree's inclined.
Alexander Pope
The basis of computer work is predicated on the idea that only the brain makes decisions and only the index finger does the work.
Brian Eno
It is hard for any one to be an honest politician who is not born and bred a Dissenter.
There never was a man with such a face as yours, unless it was your father, and I suppose is singeing his grizzled red beard by this time, unless you came straight from the old un without any father at all betwixt you; which I shouldn't wonder at, a bit.
Charles Dickens
Those who make their dress a principal part of themselves will, in general, become of no more value than their dress.
The faith religious believers have in God is small compared to the faith people put in politicians, knowing how many times they have been disappointed in the past but still insisting that this time it will be different.
Jonathan Sacks
It is my ambition to say in ten sentences what other men say in whole books what other men do not say in whole books
Friedrich Nietzsche
I've had to be a man since I was 12 or 13. I had a job. And I was playing the piano for people twice my age. Handling responsibility is what makes a man a man.
Jamie Foxx
Certain travellers give the impression that they keep moving because only then do they feel fully alive.
Ella Maillart
Intolerance itself is a form of egoism, and to condemn egoism intolerantly is to share it.
George Santayana
Mistakes, scandals, and failures no longer signal catastrophe. The crucial thing is that they be made credible, and that the public be made aware of the efforts being expended in that direction. The ''marketing'' immunity of governments is similar to that of the major brands of washing powder.
Jean Baudrillard
Relying on the government to protect your privacy is like asking a peeping tom to install your window blinds.
John Perry Barlow
Maybe I couldn
