Reacting in anger or annoyance will not advance one's ability to persuade.
Health is the condition of wisdom, and the sign is cheerfulness, -- an open and noble temper.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
I don't think success has changed us as people at all. We are the same lunatics that we were when this band first got going. We never see ourselves as being on a higher level than our fans.
Kirk Hammett
If politicians and scientist were lazier, how much happier we should all be.
Evelyn Waugh
I submit to you that if a man hasn't discovered something that he will die for, he isn't fit to live.

of course, even in the hall, you must begin trying to obey the rules which are common to the whole house.
C.S. Lewis
I think young writers should get other degrees first, social sciences, arts degrees or even business degrees. What you learn is research skills, a necessity because a lot of writing is about trying to find information.
Irvine Welsh
One forgets words as one forgets names. One's vocabulary needs constant fertilizing or it will die.
As athletes, we're used to reacting quickly. Here, it's 'come, stop, come, stop.' There's a lot of downtime. That's the toughest part of the day.
Michael Jordan
What is youth except a man or a woman before it is ready or fit to be seen.
Now I can broach the notion of suicide. It has already been felt what solution might be given. At this point the problem is reversed. It was previously a question of finding out whether or not life had to have a meaning to be lived. It now becomes clear, on the contrary, that it will be lived all the better if it has no meaning. Living an experience, a particular fate, is accepting it fully. Now, no one will live this fate, knowing it to be absurd, unless he does everything to keep before him that absurd brought to light by consciousness.
Albert Camus
You do not want to get married at 22! Especially if you're famous, because girls are going to be throwing themselves at you.
Usain Bolt
His courtesy was somewhat extravagant. He would write and thank people who wrote to thank him for wedding presents and when he encountered anyone as punctilious as himself the correspondence ended only with death.
I foresee the Chinese ruling the world. What are you going to do to stop it? No president of the United States will ever have enough power to stop the Chinese when they want to take over the world.
Evel Knievel
Almost all crime is due to the repressed desire for aesthetic expression.
Good things happen when you meet strangers.
Yo-Yo Ma
Only by strict specialization can the scientific worker become fully conscious, for once and perhaps never again in his lifetime, that he has achieved something that will endure. A really definitive and good accomplishment is today always a specialized ac
Max Weber
I have heard the languages of apocalypse, and now I shall embrace the silence.
Neil Gaiman
It feels really sad, to me, to go to a dark bedroom. It's like surrendering to the night or something.
James Franco
Allowing yourself to smile takes 99% of the effort.
Simon Travaglia
I'm the first to admit that I like going to, or my memories at least of going to Clint Eastwood movies or Charles Bronson or James Bond.
Nicolas Cage
A man wrapped up in himself makes a very small bundle.
Benjamin Franklin
A faction willing to take the risks of making war on the ossified status quo in the Middle East can be described as many things, but not as conservative.
Christopher Hitchens
The word experience is like a shrapnel shell, and bursts into a thousand meanings.
George Santayana
I didn't go to university. Didn't even finish A-levels. But I have sympathy for those who did.
Terry Prachett
The dream vocabulary shaves meanings finer and closer than do the world's daytime dictionaries.
Mark Twain
Tragedy is an imitation of a whole and complete action of some amplitude. . . . Now a whole is that which has a beginning, a middle, and an end.
Aristotle
I am sure that if you plant the trees back again, it will do nothing but good.
Michael Fish
I have had stalkers over the years. The police deal with it but it is very scary. One man kept turning up where we filmed 'Countdown in Leeds,' which was scary. It was sad as he'd been sectioned and thought I was talking to him through the TV.
Carol Vorderman
We sincerely hope that south Asian countries will respect and live in amity with each other, and achieve common development, and that south Asia will enjoy peace, stability and prosperity.
Li Peng
The worst of Bath was the number of its plain women. He did not mean to say there were not pretty women, but the number of the plain was out of all proportion. He had frequently observed, as he walked, that one handsome face would be followed by thirty, or five-and-thirty frights; and once, as he had stood in a shop on Bond street, he had counted eighty-seven women go by, without there being a tolerable face among them. ... But still, there certainly were a dreadful multitude of ugly women in Bath; and as for the men! they were infinitely worse. Such scarecrows as the streets were full of!
Jane Austen
I always try to keep the circumstances in my life fresh. I like to change the physical environment I live in, change the people around me and try to experience things for the first time. I think that keeps one on their toes, creatively and spiritually.
Lenny Kravitz
When feeling came back, in a storm of color and force and sensation, the most you could do was hold on to the person beside you and hope you could weather it. Alex closed her eyes and expected the worst-but it wasn't a bad thing; it was just a different thing. A messier one, more complicated one. She hesitated, and then she kissed Patrick back, willing to concede that you might have to lose control before you could find what you'd been missing.
Jodi Picoult
There's a hardening of the culture. Reality TV has lowered the standards of entertainment. You're left wondering about the legitimacy of relationships. It's probably harder to entertain the same people with a more classic form of writing, and romantic comedies are a classic genre.
Nancy Meyers
You just refuse to leave them alone until they change their minds. Of their own free will.
Orson Scott Card
I've done reasonably well over the last 10 years because I took the strategy of language and politics and applied it to the corporate world, which has never been done before.
