The stoical scheme of supplying our wants by lopping off our desires, is like cutting off our feet when we want shoes.
We don't have an eternity to realize our dreams, only the time we are here.
Susan Taylor

Joe Simmons
Winners take chances. Like everyone else, they fear failing, but they refuse to let fear control them.
Nancy Simms
The only true source of politeness is consideration.
William Gilmore Simms
The symptoms of fascist thinking are colored by environment and adapted to immediate circumstances. But always and everywhere they can be identified by their appeal to prejudice and by the desire to play upon the fears and vanities of different groups in order to gain power.
Henry A. Wallace
The true law of the race is progress and development. Whenever civilization pauses in the march of conquest, it is overthrown by the barbarian.
I grow plants for many reasons: to please my eye or to please my soul, to challenge the elements or to challenge my patience, for novelty or for nostalgia, but mostly for the joy in seeing them grow.
David Hobson
The proverb answers where the sermon fails, as a well-charged pistol will do more execution than a whole barrel of gunpowder idly exploded in the air.
But with the steady disintegration of the family in modern society over the last century, the role of the school in bridging the gap has become vital!
Stephen Covey
He who would acquire fame must not show himself afraid of censure. The dread of censure is the death of genius.
Tact is one of the first mental virtues, the absence of it is fatal to the best talent.
Society is the union of men and not the men themselves.
Charles de Secondat
Tears are the natural penalties of pleasure. It is a law that we should pay for all that we enjoy.
So much of what we call management consists in making it difficult for people to work.
Peter Drucker
The dread of criticism is the death of genius.
Neither praise or blame is the object of true criticism. Justly to discriminate, firmly to establish, wisely to prescribe, and honestly to award. These are the true aims and duties of criticism.
Hope is the pillar that holds up the world. Hope is the dream of a waking man.
Pliny the Elder
What information consumes is rather obvious: it consumes the attention of its recipients. Hence, a wealth of information creates a poverty of attention and a need to allocate that attention efficiently among the overabundance of information sources that might consume it.
Herbert Simon
When love is at its best, one loves so much that he cannot forget.
Helen Hunt Jackson
All lies and jests, still a man hears what he wants to hear and disregards the rest.
Paul Simon
Improvisation is too good to leave to chance.
White people couldn't do black music back in the day because they weren't funky or bad enough. They weren't from the ghettoes, but hip-hop and R&B changed all of that because white kids want to be down with it. They wanted to learn it so they studied the culture. It's kind of a cool thing because we shouldn't be so separate.
Narada Michael Walden
The golden age is before us, not behind us.
St. Simon
Painting is silent poetry and poetry spoken, painting.
Simonides
There is no better test of a man's work than time, which also reveals the thoughts which lay hidden in his breast.

Felicity Jones
When the time is right, you just got to do it.
Jack Simplot
I had a 2-week courtship with a fellow student in the fiction workshop in Iowa and a 5-minute wedding in a lawyer's office above the coffee shop where we'd been having lunch that day. And so I sent a cable to my father saying, 'By the time you get this, Daddy, I'll already be Mrs. Blaise!'
Bharati Mukherjee
I like to interpose in all of my appointments, if the Lord wills.
A. B. Simpson

E. L. Simpson
Remember, to them it is us who are the enemy.
N. F. Simpson
There are so many funny women in the world, and there has been for so many years, so I'll be happy when people can just move on from that, and things can just be 'comedies' and not 'female' or 'male,' and everyone gets an equal opportunity.
Kristen Wiig
NFL owners should quit worrying about silly things like players celebrating in the end zone. They should give them something to really celebrate. Get rid of the artificial surfaces.
O. J. Simpson
The beauty we love is very silent. It smiles softly to itself, but never speaks.
Richard Le Gallienne
The fear of losing is what makes competitors so great. Show me a gracious loser and I'll show you a permanent loser.
The day you take complete responsibility for yourself, the day you stop making any excuses, that's the day you start to the top.
