If my poetry aims to achieve anything, it's to deliver people from the limited ways in which they see and feel.
Better than a thousand hollow words, is one word that brings peace.
Buddha
The best minds are not in government. If any were, business would steal them away.
Ronald Reagan
One who never turned his back but marched breast forward, never doubted clouds would break, Never dreamed, though right were worsted, wrong would triumph,
Robert Browning
If you really want to upset a witch, do her a favor which she has no means of repaying. The unfulfilled obligation will nag at her like a hangnail.
Terry Pratchett
I think the water dictates how food will taste in a country. In England the apples taste unlike apples grown in any other place. England is an island, there's a lot of salt in the air and in the water. I think that has something to do with it.
Gael Garcia Bernal
Where the apple reddens never pry -- lest we lose our Edens, Eve and I.
History should be written as philosophy.
Voltaire
Purity engenders Wisdom, Passion avarice, and Ignorance folly, infatuation and darkness.
Cyril Connolly
Make no more giants, God!But elevate the race at once!
I really wanted to retire and rest and spend more time with my children, my grandchildren and of course with my wife.
Nelson Mandela
The love of family and the admiration of friends is much more important than wealth and privilege.
Charles Kuralt
The reason I'm in this business, I assume all performers are -- it's Look at me, Ma! It's acceptance, you know -- Look at me, Ma, look at me, Ma, look at me, Ma. And if your mother watches, you'll show off till you're exhausted; but if your mother goes, Ptshew!
Lenny Bruce
If you want to stay in the business then you've got to be a bit shrewd, haven't you?
Katie Price
All my humor is based upon destruction and despair. If the whole world were tranquil, without disease and violence, I'd be standing on the breadline right in back of J. Edgar Hoover.
My work is the only ground I've ever had to stand on. To put it bluntly, I seem to have a whole superstructure with no foundation, but I'm working on the foundation.
Marilyn Monroe
The role of a comedian is to make the audience laugh, at a minimum of once every fifteen seconds.
The people who work in intelligence work are more conscious, more apt to be attentive.
William Hedgcock Webster
A lot of people say to me, Why did you kill Christ? I dunno... it was one of those parties, got out of hand, you know. We killed him because he didn't want to become a doctor, that's why we killed him.
Meeting sports athletes that are the best in the world is a thrill to this day.
Phil Knight
Now a Jew, in the dictionary, is one who is descended from the ancient tribes of Judea, or one who is regarded as descended from that tribe. That's what it says in the dictionary; but you and I know what a Jew is -- One Who Killed Our Lord. And although there should be a statute of limitations for that crime, it seems that those who neither have the actions nor the gait of Christians, pagan or not, will bust us out, unrelenting dues, for another deuce.
I try my best to be extremely disciplined about my diet.
Mika Brzezinski
The liberals can understand everything but people who don't understand them.
Being a teen can be tough. Just try to surround yourself with really good friends that really have your back, and also be a really good friend to those who really care about you. If you're not sure about certain things, talk to your friends that you trust and your family.
Victoria Justice
The thing with Catholicism, the same as all religions, is that it teaches what should be, which seems rather incorrect. This is what should be. Now, if you're taught to live up to a what should be that never existed -- only an occult superstition, no proof of this should be -- then you can sit on a jury and indict easily, you can cast the first stone, you can burn Adolf Eichmann, like that!
We save paradise by an intense education program where you get people that you can trust to talk sanely about the environment and hope that the message will get through.
Arthur Boyd
Be good and you will be lonesome.
Mark Twain
Today's comedian has a cross to bear that he built himself. A comedian of the older generation did an act and he told the audience, This is my act. Today's comic is not doing an act. The audience assumes he's telling the truth. What is truth today may be a damn lie next week.
When I was ten, I read fairy tales in secret and would have been ashamed if I had been found doing so. Now that I am fifty, I read them openly. When I became a man I put away childish things, including the fear of childishness and the desire to be very grown up.
C.S. Lewis
Communism is like one big phone company.
Some think that by preparing to deal with crises you make them more likely. I think the wiser judgment is the contrary. In this area at least, if you want peace or stability, it's better to prepare for war or instability.
Timothy Geithner
We are only now on the threshold of knowing the range of the educability of man-the perfectibility of man. We have never addressed ourselves to this problem before.
Jerome Bruner
You are more likely to act yourself into feelings, than feel yourself into action.
I awoke with devout thanksgiving for my friends.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
I never knew how to worship until I knew how to love.
Henry Ward Beecher
No one can earn a million dollars honestly.
William Jennings Bryan
The consensus seemed to be that if really large numbers of men were sent to storm the mountain, then enough might survive the rocks to take the citadel. This is essentially the basis of all military thinking.
If that vital spark that we find in a grain of wheat can pass unchanged through countless deaths and resurrections, will the spirit of man be unable to pass from this body to another?
Wine makes a man more pleased with himself. I do not say that it makes him more pleasing to others.
Samuel Johnson
Fantasy mirrors desire. Imagination reshapes it.
Mason Cooley
Anglo-Saxon civilization has taught the individual to protect his own rights; American civilization will teach him to respect the rights of others.
