There are relatively few science fiction or fantasy books with the main character being an old person.
You must be worthy of the best, but not more worthy than the rest.
Denis Waitley
Listen to the desires of your children. Encourage them and then give them the autonomy to make their own decision.
Everything is something you decide to do, and there is nothing you have to do.
Courage means to keep working a relationship, to continue seeking solutions to difficult problems, and to stay focused during stressful periods.
Besides the healthcare bill being unconstitutional and a great expansion of federal government, I think if it does not respect people's individual religious views and makes groups or individuals do things that are contrary to their deeply held beliefs, there is going to be a visceral negative reaction.
Bob McDonnell
It is superstitious to put one's hopes in formalities, but arrogant to refuse to submit to them.
Blaise Pascal
If there's no relationship with a father who's absent, nobody talks about it.
Charles Rangel
Man's greatness lies in his power of thought.
I'm not Candide, nor Dr Pangloss, but we know that faith moves mountains.
Daniel Libeskind
If we examine our thoughts, we shall find them always occupied with the past and the future.
A little learning, indeed, may be a dangerous thing, but the want of learning is a calamity to any people.
Frederick Douglass
Man is obviously made for thinking. Therein lies all his dignity and his merit; and his whole duty is to think as he ought.
Seek freedom and become captive of your desires. Seek discipline and find your liberty.
Frank Herbert
Man is only a reed, the weakest in nature; but he is a thinking reed. There is no need for the whole universe to take up arms to crush him: a vapor, a drop of water is enough to kill him. But even if the universe were to crush him, man would still be nobler than his slayer, because he knows that he is dying and the advantage the universe has over him. The universe knows nothing of this.
Those are weaklings who know the truth and uphold it as long as it suits their purpose, and then abandon it.
To drive an F1 car you have to be a little mad. On the morning of a race there's a mix of excitement and fear. If it's a wet track, then it's worse as you're not in control most of the time, which is the thing all drivers fear the most.
Jenson Button
The multitude which is not brought to act as a unity, is confusion. That unity which has not its origin in the multitude is tyranny.
My dad wanted me to play when I was a kid, so I learned to play the guitar. I pursued a career in music because I love it so much and I enjoy what it does to those who hear it.
Randy Travis
Any unity which doesn't have its origin in the multitudes is tyranny.
It doesn't matter that Bush scares the hell out of me. What matters is that he scares the hell out of a lot of very important people in Washington who can't speak out, in the military, in the intelligence community.
Seymour Hersh
I have made this letter a rather long one, only because I didn't have the leisure to make it shorter.
From reading a previous answer, you know that I consider all those aspects to be part of American cultural myth and thus they figure into good American poetry, whether the poet is aware of what he is doing or not.
Diane Wakoski
If I had more time I would write a shorter letter.
Once in a while I'll get moved to do some exercise. It's something I long for but the biggest problem is bending down and putting my tennis shoes on. Once I go out I'm OK.
David Soul
The last thing we decide in writing a book is what to put first.
Animals do not admire each other. A horse does not admire its companion.
The highest order of mind is accused of folly, as well as the lowest. Nothing is thoroughly approved but mediocrity. The majority has established this, and it fixes its fangs on whatever gets beyond it either way.
There are few in America that really know how to take advantage of the current health care system.
Matthew Lesko
We are only falsehood, duplicity, contradiction; we both conceal and disguise ourselves from ourselves.
Creativity is allowing yourself to make mistakes. Art is knowing which ones to keep.
Scott Adams
The war existing between the senses and reason.
Secondly I would like to make continuous efforts of stabilising cross Strait relations, eventually reaching peace across the Taiwan strait and stability and security in the Asia Pacific region.

Men never do evil so fully and cheerfully as when we do it out of conscience.
These measures may not constitute an absolute guarantee of peace, but, in my opinion, they constitute the greatest preventive measures ever adopted by nations.
Frank B. Kellogg
Contradiction is not a sign of falsity, nor the lack of contradiction a sign of truth.
I do not admire a virtue like valour when it is pushed to excess, if I do not see at the same time the excess of the opposite virtue, as one does in Epaminondas, who displayed extreme valour and extreme benevolence. For otherwise it is not an ascent, but a fall. We do not display our greatness by placing ourselves at one extremity, but rather by being at both at the same time, and filling up the whole of the space between them.
It is not easy to see how the more extreme forms of nationalism can long survive when men have seen the Earth in its true perspective as a single small globe against the stars.
Arthur C. Clarke
On vanity: The nose of Cleopatra: if it had been shorter, the face of the earth would have changed.
I don't like being recognised, I have no interest in being famous at all, I just do what I do. If I could be like Captain Kirk and beam myself up and then beam myself down, I would!
Bruce Dickinson
Let me tell you the secret that has led me to my goal, My strength lies solely in my tenacity.
Louis Pasteur
