We cannot be more sensitive to pleasure without being more sensitive to pain.
I don't know any parents that look into the eyes of a newborn baby and say, How can we screw this kid up.
Russell Bishop
I recently read that love is entirely a matter of chemistry. That must be why my wife treats me like toxic waste.
David Bissonette
Each handicap is like a hurdle in a steeplechase, and when you ride up to it, if you throw your heart over, the horse will go along too.
Lawrence Bixby
Big egos are big shields for lots of empty space.
Diana Black
Life is an earnest business, and no one every became good or great on a diet of broad grins.
Professor Blackie
Let your rule in reference to your social desires be this. Pray for the bad, pity the weak, enjoy the good, and reverence both the great and the small, as each playing their part in the divine symphony of the universe.
Civil and political rights are critical, but not often the real problem for the destitute sick. My patients in Haiti can now vote but they can't get medical care or clean water.
Paul Farmer
Read nothing that you do not care to remember, and remember nothing you do not mean to use.
Justice is better than chivalry if we cannot have both.
Alice Stone Blackwell
For what is done or learned by one class of women becomes, by virtue of their common womanhood, the property of all women.
Elizabeth Blackwell
My parents put skates on me at age 2, the way it should be if you're serious, and I've always liked it.
Bonnie Blair
Only mediocrity of enjoyment is allowed to man.
Hugh Blair
What ever purifies the heart also fortifies it.
The great standard of literature as to purity and exactness of style is the Bible.
Gentleness corrects whatever is offensive in our manner.
Worry not about the possible troubles of the future; for if they come, you are but anticipating and adding to their weight; and if they do not come, your worry is useless; and in either case it is weak and in vain, and a distrust of God's providence.
If you delay till to-morrow what ought to be done to-day, you overcharge the morrow with a burden which belongs not to it. You load the wheels of time, and prevent it from carrying you along smoothly. He who every morning plans the transactions of the day, and follows out the plan, carries on a thread which will guide him through the labyrinth of the most busy life. The orderly arrangement of his time is like a ray of light which darts itself through all his affairs. But where no plan is laid, where the disposal of time is surrendered merely to the chance of incidents, all things lie huddled together in one chaos, which admits neither of distribution nor review.
I believe Mrs. Thatcher's emphasis on enterprise was right.
Tony Blair
My sense of humor is a turkey, and I pull it out of the oven and baste it in reality.
Tracy Morgan
If I'd known I was gonna live this long. I'd have taken better care of myself. Eubie Blake At Age 100
Eubie Blake
The people of Britain want a Home Secretary who will give them back their streets. They want a Home Secretary who will speak up for the victim, not the criminal.
William Hague
I go into the locker room and find a corner and just sit there. I try to achieve a peaceful state of nothingness that will carry over onto the golf course. If I can get that feeling of quiet and obliviousness within myself, I feel I can't lose.
Jane Blalock
People who produce good results feel good about themselves.
Ken Blanchard
HELP = H(umor), E-go, edging God out, L-istening, P-urpose
As a manager the important thing is not what happens when you are there, but what happens when you are not there.
I never use notes, they interfere with me.
The first principle of ethical power is Purpose. By purpose, I don't mean your objective or intention-something toward which you are always striving. Purpose is something bigger. It is the picture you have of yourself-the kind of person you want to be or the kind of life you want to lead.
Feedback is the breakfast of champions.
There is between sleep and us something like a pact, a treaty with no secret clauses, and according to this convention it is agreed that, far from being a dangerous, bewitching force, sleep will become domesticated and serve as an instrument of our power to act. We surrender to sleep, but in the way that the master entrusts himself to the slave who serves him.
Maurice Blanchot
A writer who writes, I am alone... can be considered rather comical. It is comical for a man to recognize his solitude by addressing a reader and by using methods that prevent the individual from being alone. The word alone is just as general as the word bread. To pronounce it is to summon to oneself the presence of everything the word excludes.
I'm a wonderful disaster. So are you. We're all a mess. We're in this culture that says take this pill and you'll be happy, go on this diet and you'll be thinner, have your teeth whitened, people will love you more.
Emilio Estevez
Lovers of painting and lovers of music are people who openly display their preference like a delectable ailment that isolates them and makes them proud.
A writer never reads his work. For him, it is the unreadable, a secret, and he cannot remain face to face with it. A secret, because he is separated from it.
You begin with the possibilities of the material.
Robert Rauschenberg
To write is to make oneself the echo of what cannot cease speaking -- and since it cannot, in order to become its echo I have, in a way, to silence it. I bring to this incessant speech the decisiveness, the authority of my own silence.
Justice is a concept. Muscle is the reality.
Linda Blandford
We do not yet possess ourselves, and we know at the same time that we are much more.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The obstacles you face are... mental barriers which can be broken by adopting a more positive approach.
Clarence Blasier
When in doubt, wear red.
Bill Blass
Look through your customer's eyes. Are you the solution provider or part of the problem?
