It's not the plan that is important, it's the planning.

I was always the new kid in school, I'm the kid from a broken family, I'm the kid who had no dad showing up at the father-son stuff, I'm the kid that was using food stamps at the grocery store.

Dave Mustaine

You know, true love really matters, friends really matter, family really matters. Being responsible and disciplined and healthy really matters.

Courtney Thorne Smith

He is the true enchanter, whose spell operates, not upon the senses, but upon the imagination and the heart.

Washington Irving

You know who is against democracy in the Middle East? The husbands. They got used to their way of life. Now, the traditional way of life must change. Everybody must change. If you don't give equal rights to women, you can't progress.

Shimon Peres

Do not be a perpetrator. Do not be a bystander. Do not be a victim.

Yehuda Bauer

I became a larger than life figure for one reason only. When you're quoted in the 'Wall Street Journal,' the 'New York Times,' constantly as the expert in the business people assume you're a lot bigger than you are. And then I had to run like hell to catch up with my own image.

Barbara Corcoran

In terms of the game theory, we might say the universe is so constituted as to maximize play. The best games are not those in which all goes smoothly and steadily toward a certain conclusion, but those in which the outcome is always in doubt. Similarly, the geometry of life is designed to keep us at the point of maximum tension between certainty and uncertainty, order and chaos. Every important call is a close one. We survive and evolve by the skin of our teeth. We really wouldn't want it any other way.

George Leonard

The main aim of education should be to send children out into the world with a reasonably sized anthology in their heads so that, while seated on the lavatory, waiting in doctors' surgeries, on stationary trains or watching interviews with politicians, they may have something interesting to think about.

Sir John Mortimer

Freedom from the desire for an answer is essential to the understanding of a problem.

Jiddu Krishnamurti

Character, not circumstances, makes the man.

Booker T. Washington

The function of muscle is to pull and not to push, except in the case of the genitals and the tongue.

Leonardo DaVinci

You cannot simply put something new into a place. You have to absorb what you see around you, what exists on the land, and then use that knowledge along with contemporary thinking to interpret what you see.
