What we plant in the soil of contemplation, we shall reap in the harvest of action.
Happiness is not a matter of intensity but of balance, order, rhythm and harmony.
Thomas Merton
I believe that the capacity that any organisation needs is for leadership to appear anywhere it is needed, when it is needed.
Margaret J. Wheatley
The more you travel, the better you get at it. It sounds silly, but with experience you learn how to pack the right way. I remember one of my first trips abroad, travelling around Europe by rail, fresh out of high school. I brought all these books with me and a paint set. I really had too much stuff, so I've learnt to be more economical.
Roman Coppola
Unfortunately, our history has abundant examples of patriotism being used to hurt those who express views in disagreement with that of the majority.
Vic Snyder
Money isn't the most important thing in life, but it's reasonably close to oxygen on the 'gotta have it' scale.
Zig Ziglar
America has never seen itself as a national state like all others, but rather as an experiment in human freedom and democracy.
Brent Scowcroft
No work or love will flourish out of guilt, fear, or hollowness of heart, just as no valid plans for the future can be made by those who have no capacity for living now.
Alan Watts
On the mountains mistakes are fatal. In politics, mistakes are wounding emotionally, but you recover. Personally, wilderness helps me get back in touch with natural rhythms, helps me reflect and, in the process, restore my creativity.
Mark Udall
Where the people possess no authority, their rights obtain no respect.
George Bancroft
There's no particular relationship between spending and educational results. Most education spending is actually on salaries, and that's allocated according to political muscle.
Peter Brimelow

Maynard James Keenan
Be courteous to all, but intimate with few, and let those few be well tried before you give them your confidence.
George Washington
I would say that the surest measure of a man's or a woman's maturity is the harmony, style, joy, and dignity he creates in his marriage, and the pleasure and inspiration he provides for his spouse.
Benjamin Spock
A book is a fragile creature, it suffers the wear of time, it fears rodents, the elements and clumsy hands. so the librarian protects the books not only against mankind but also against nature and devotes his life to this war with the forces of oblivion.
Umberto Eco
Half the time I feel like I'm appealing to the downer freaks out there. We start to play one downer record after another until I begin to get down myself. Give me something from 1960 or something let me get up again. The music of today is for downer freaks, and I'm an upper.
Wolfman Jack
When people meet me, many times they're very surprised because they expect someone who is kind of wacky with seven piercings and very hip and cool and New York City, and I'm not.
Augusten Burroughs
You shouldn't be afraid of failure - when something fails, you think, 'What did I learn from that experience? I can do better next time.' Then kill that project and move on to the next. Don't get disappointed.
Niklas Zennstrom
Our bodies are shaped to bear children, and our lives are a working out of the processes of creation. All our ambitions and intelligence are beside that great elemental point.
Phyllis McGinley
Women are the fulfilled sex. Through our children we are able to produce our own immortality, so we lack that divine restlessness which sends men charging off in pursuit of fortune or fame or an imagined Utopia. That is why we number so few geniuses among us. The wholesome oyster wears no pearl, the healthy whale no ambergris, and as long as we can keep on adding to the race, we harbor a sort of health within ourselves.
Patience is something you admire in the driver behind you, but not in one ahead.
Bill Mcglashen
Advertising reflects the mores of society, but it does not influence them.
David Ogilvy
My boyfriend calls me 'princess', but I think of myself more along the lines of 'monkey' and 'retard'.
Alicia Silverstone
I woke up on the plane this morning and was turning on my phone and I had to put my pin number in. That's when I realized that since the age of 10 I've been using 2012 as my pin number. But now that I've won gold in the 2012 Olympics, I've achieved that goal and, for the first time in 14 years, I'll have to change my pin.
Cameron van der Burgh
I'm a big sports fan. Football. Cricket.
Danny Boyle
I have no physical courage, I've asked for a double.
Catherine Deneuve
The first responsibility of the Muslim is as teacher. That is his job, to teach. His first school, his first classroom is within the household. His first student is himself. He masters himself and then he begins to convey the knowledge that he has acquired to the family. The people who are closest to him.
H. Rap Brown
Always remember, money isn't everything - but also remember to make a lot of it before talking such fool nonsense.
Earl Wilson
Spend some time this weekend on home improvement improve your attitude toward your family.
Bo Bennett
The future is something which everyone reaches at the rate of 60 minutes an hour, whatever he does, whoever he is.

Anxiety is the hand maiden of creativity
Chuck Jones
One longs for a director with a sense of imagination.
Alan Rickman
When the administrator feels himself to be the sole driving agency, and finds himself chiefly engaged in arousing those who apathetic and coercing those who are antagonistic, there is something vitally wrong with the administration. An executive should find himself engaged chiefly in directing the energies which create themselves naturally in all parts of the business, and in finding the proper outlet for the eager upward striving of the ranks below.
E.E. Jones
But one does not make living writing poetry unless you're a professor, and one frankly doesn't get a lot of girls as a poet.
Jeffery Deaver
Your powers are dead or dedicated. If they are dedicated, they are alive with God and tingle with surprising power. If they are saved up, taken care of for their own ends, they are dead.
