I have plowed and planted and gathered into barns, and no man could head me. And aren't I a woman?
Adopt the pace of nature.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
I write the vocals last, because I wanted to invent the music first and push the music to the level that I had to compete against it.
Axl Rose
I stood up as best I could to their disgusting stupidity and brutality, but I did not, of course, manage to beat them at their own game. It was a fight to the bitter end, one in which I was not defending ideals or beliefs but simply my own self.
George Grosz
I shall try to correct errors when shown to be errors, and I shall adopt new views so fast as they shall appear to be true views
Abraham Lincoln
I get so nervous on stage I can't help but talk. I try. I try telling my brain: stop sending words to the mouth. But I get nervous and turn into my grandma. Behind the eyes it's pure fear. I find it difficult to believe I'm going to be able to deliver.
Adele
Yesterday I parked my car in a towaway zone... When I cameback the entire area was missing.
Steven Wright
I wanted to be famous. I wanted people to talk about me.
Haile Gebrselassie
I have found no better expression than religious for confidence in the rational nature of reality, insofar as it is accessible to human reason. Whenever this feeling is absent, science degenerates into uninspired empiricism.
Albert Einstein
Sometimes you have to take a break from being a crazy kid. You can't be doing that all the time. Sometimes you just have to pay respect to your own simple-ness.
Sean Paul
Dinner 'conversation' at the Cohens' meant my sister, mom, and I relaying in brutal detail the day's events in a state of amplified hysteria, while my father listened to his own smooth jazz station in his head.
Andy Cohen
The universal law of generosity ensures both the giver and recipient profit
Steve Maraboli
The purest and most thoughtful minds are those which love color the most.
John Ruskin
Of all God's gifts to the sighted man, color is holiest, the most divine, the most solemn.
I honestly believe you can never tell if a relationship is going to last. In my own marriage, which is going on 14 years, I don't think of it as 'I'm going to be with this person forever.' Instead, I think of more like, 'I'll probably be with this person for the next six weeks. Then I'll re-evaluate.'
Michael Ian Black
A thing is worth what it can do for you, not what you choose to pay for it.
We have seen when the earth had to be prepared for the habitation of man, a veil, as it were, of intermediate being was spread between him and its darkness, in which were joined in a subdued measure, the stability and insensibility of the earth, and the passion and perishing of mankind.
God has lent us the earth for our life; it is a great entail. It belongs as much to those who are to come after us, and whose names are already written in the book of creation, as to us; and we have no right, by anything that we do or neglect, to involve them in unnecessary penalties, or deprive them of benefits which it was in our power to bequeath.
Our duty is to preserve what the past has had to say for itself, and to say for ourselves what shall be true for the future.
It's not a case of 'look at me in my car' it's more, 'look at the car'. I like the idea of other people enjoying them, because everything has become a bit faceless and nobody likes the motor car any more.
Jay Kay
Great nations write their autobiographies in three manuscripts, the book of their deeds, the book of their words and the book of their art. Not one of these books can be understood unless we read the two others, but of the three the only trustworthy one is the last.
Most people would rather die than think: many do.
Bertrand Russell
While I don't often use the word, the technically precise term for my orientation is bisexual. I believe bisexuality is not a choice, it is a fact. What I have 'chosen' is to be in a gay relationship.
Cynthia Nixon
You will also find that help will always be given at Hogwarts to those who ask for it.
J.K. Rowling
Man liebt zuletzt seine Begierde, und nicht das Begehrte.
Friedrich Nietzsche
I wanted to do something inspirational for my children.
Harvey Weinstein
Economists are coming to acknowledge that measures of national wealth and poverty in terms strictly of average income tell you little that is significant of the health or viability of a society.
Rowan D. Williams
There are memories that time can't erase, Clarissa. Ask your friend, Magnus Bane, if you don't believe me. Forever does not make loss forgettable. Only bearable.
Cassandra Clare
So there's no such thing as work-life balance. There's work, and there's life, and there's no balance.
Sheryl Sandberg
Hatred is corrosive of a person's wisdom and conscience the mentality of enmity can poison a nation's spirit, instigate brutal life and death struggles, destroy a society's tolerance and humanity, and block a nation's progress to freedom and democracy.
Liu Xiaobo
The idle man does not know what it is to enjoy rest.
I like the way my heart beats, I like the way I think I don't need or want anything to change that.
Jordin Sparks
My truth - what I believe - is that there are no answers here and, if you are looking for answers, you'd better choose the question carefully.
Javier Bardem
The rise of China as a new power is another great challenge for the US. Our failure to properly handle Germany and Japan earlier in the 20th century cost us and the world dearly. We must not make this same mistake with China.
Steve Forbes
It was a bright cold day in April, and the clocks were striking thirteen.
George Orwell
In spite the mountains of books written about art, no precise definition of art has been constructed. And the reason for this is that the conception of art has been based on the conception of beauty.
Leo Tolstoy
Piety is not an end but a means to attain... the highest degree of culture. This is why... those who parade piety as a purpose and an aim mostly turn into hypocrites.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Dancing is the poetry of the foot.
John Dryden
If your only goal is to become rich then use Cosmic Ordering.
Stephen Richards
A man cannot speak but he judges himself
For eighteen hundred years, though perchance I have no right to say it, the New Testament has been written; yet where is the legislator who has wisdom and practical talent enough to avail himself of the light which it sheds on the science of legislation?
Henry David Thoreau
