There are few sources of energy so powerful as a procrastinating college student.
That was my childhood. I grew up with the monks, studying Sanskrit and meditating for hours in the morning and hours in the evening, and going once a day to beg for food.
Satish Kumar
To help a friend in need is easy, but to give him your time is not always opportune.
Charlie Chaplin
Although all the good arts serve to draw man's mind away from vices and lead it toward better things, this function can be more fully performed by this art, which also provides extraordinary intellectual pleasure.
Nicolaus Copernicus
I never thought of politics as a profession.
Georgios A. Papandreou
I had in mind a message, although I hope it doesn't intrude too badly, persuading Americans, and especially Southerners, of the critical importance of land and our vanishing natural environment and wildlife.
E. O. Wilson
I forced myself to think what is the new concept and it became clear to me that it was risk, not only in technology and ecology, but in life and employment, too.
Ulrich Beck
Any great warrior is also a scholar, and a poet, and an artist.
Steven Seagal
I fear other actors who are not prepared. And I fear directors who are afraid.
Tommy Lee Jones
I think money is due for some sort of collapse. People are going to realize that money has a half-life, like radioactive elements.
Doug Coupland
Distinguishing the signal from the noise requires both scientific knowledge and self-knowledge.
Nate Silver
For years, I always thought it was hilarious that I was this fitness guru, because fitness was just a tool I utilized to help people improve their confidence. For me, it's never been about fitness. It's always been about helping to empower people.
Jillian Michaels
Three centuries after the appearance of Franklin's 'Courant,' it no longer requires a dystopic imagination to wonder who will have the dubious distinction of publishing America's last genuine newspaper. Few believe that newspapers in their current printed form will survive.
Eric Alterman
We learned about honesty and integrity - that the truth matters... that you don't take shortcuts or play by your own set of rules... and success doesn't count unless you earn it fair and square.
Michelle Obama
One of the interesting things here is that the people who should be shaping the future are politicians. But the political framework itself is so dead and closed that people look to other sources, like artists, because art and music allow people a certain freedom.
Thom Yorke
I measure the progress of a community by the degree of progress which women have achieved.
B. R. Ambedkar
Just as the science and art of agriculture depend upon chemistry and botany, so the art of education depends upon physiology and psychology.
Edward Thorndike
What distinguishes the campaign finance issue from just about every other one being debated these days is that the two sides do not divide along conventional liberal/ conservative lines.

When you blame others, you give up your power to change.
Robert Anthony
The scenes on this field would have cured anybody of war.
William Tecumseh Sherman
Society has to change, but the political powers we have at the moment are not enough to effect this change. The whole democratic system would have to be rethought.
Jose Saramago
Age is not measured by years. Nature does not equally distribute energy. Some people are born old and tired while others are going strong at seventy.
Dorothy Thompson
After I finished high school I went to Hong Kong and Thailand and spent some time there. Just to get that whole experience of being out of the bubble that I was in from high school in Vancouver, to be able to travel around and be on your own was an amazing experience.
Shay Mitchell
An expectation is a future object, recognised as belonging to me.
Samuel Alexander
I don't think it's any coincidence that I lost my religious faith and 'manned up' in the same year. I was described somewhere as a lapsed Catholic, which is funny because I'm not going back! I want to achieve things rather than live life in an animalistic way.
Jimmy Carr
An economist is an expert who will know tomorrow why the things he predicted yesterday didn't happen today.
Laurence J. Peter
We don't really go in for big family dinners, but Scottish people are famously confrontational. It's a cultural thing, so maybe we don't need to have them to clear the air. Also, traditional family food isn't as nice here so there's no payoff for traveling hundreds of miles.
Denise Mina
I am suggesting that we recognize that in network and interface research there is something as profound (and potential wild) as Artificial Intelligence.
Vernor Vinge
Knowledge about the economy, ideas about capitalism and government, the future of the world and geopolitics were things I was never really interested in.
Shia LaBeouf
I do not believe in political movements. I believe in personal movement, that movement of the soul when a man who looks at himself is so ashamed that he tries to make some sort of change - within himself, not on the outside.
Joseph Brodsky
Mom was 50 when my Dad died. She got on a bus every weekday for years, and rode 40 miles each morning to Madison. She earned a new degree and learned new skills to start her small business. It wasn't just a new livelihood. It was a new life.
Paul Ryan
Well, knowledge is a fine thing, and mother Eve thought so but she smarted so severely for hers, that most of her daughters have been afraid of it since.
Abigail Adams
I design for myself and the first question I ask is, 'Would I wear it?'
Claudia Schiffer
Patriotism is the religion of hell.
James Branch Cabell
Government will not fail to employ education, to strengthen its hands, and perpetuate its institutions.
William Godwin
Through the years I have received my share of recognition for efforts in the fields of sports, the arts, the struggle for full citizenship for the Negro people, labor's rights and the fight for peace.
Paul Robeson
It really means a lot that I won the gold medal - but I woke up the next morning expecting to feel different. I felt the same.
Dan O'Brien
Is Israel going to continue to be 'Fortress Israel'? Or, as we all hope, become accepted into the neighborhood, which I believe is the only way we can move forward in harmony.
King Abdullah II
He could have made it right with the book. But he hasn't. He is a revisionist of history. He has lied.
Monica Lewinsky
I've always been around dudes and sports.
Lisa Guerrero
The artist is not responsible to any one. His social role is asocial... his only responsibility consists in an attitude to the work he does.
