Success isn't always about greatness. It's about consistency. Consistent hard work leads to success. Greatness will come.
We all need ways to express ourselves, and poetry is one of mine.
Jack Prelutsky
Sure I played, did you think I was born at the age of 70 sitting in a dugout trying to manage guys like you?
Casey (Charles Dillon) Stengel,
The secret of successful managing is to keep the five guys who hate you away from the four guys who haven't made up their minds.
The novel can't compete with cars, the movies, television, and liquor. A guy who's had a good feed and tanked up on good wine gives his old lady a kiss after supper and his day is over. Finished.
LouisFerdinand Celine, Interview
I never did say that you can't be a nice guy and win. I said that if I was playing third base and my mother rounded third with the winning run, I'd trip her up.
Leo Durocher
Let the other guy have whatever he wants before the fight. Once the bell rings he's gonna be disappointed anyway.
George Foreman
We have no control over the outcome of anything. Like the planet and global warming, we don't control that. If politicians want a war we don't control that. Acts of terrorism, we can't control them.

I put my career in second place throughout both my marriages and it suffered. I don't regret it. You make choices. If you want a good marriage, you must pay attention to that. If you want to be independent, go ahead. You can't have it all.
Lauren Bacall
I have a fine level of recognition in the business and among the acting community now, so I consider myself one of the lucky ones. If I didn't think that, there would be something wrong with me. I'm grateful and thankful for what I've got.
Philip Seymour Hoffman
Being a Barrymore didn't help me, other than giving me a great sense of pride and a strange spiritual sense that I felt OK about having the passion to act. It made sense because my whole family had done it and it helped rationalise it for me.
Drew Barrymore
A conversation goes sometimes into personal things and that's nicer. You look to each other and you have a different picture, you get into a relationship.
Maximilian Schell
So we really need jobs now. We have to take jobs away from other countries because other countries are taking our jobs. There is practically not a country that does business with the United States that isn't making - let's call it a very big profit. I mean China is going to make $300 billion on us at least this year.
Donald Trump
I want a man who's kind and understanding. Is that too much to ask of a millionaire?
Zsa Zsa Gabor
We know that, when it comes to technology and the economy, if you're not constantly moving forward, then - without a doubt - you're moving backwards.
Bill Owens
My dad had this philosophy that if you tell children they're beautiful and wonderful then they believe it, and they will be. So I never thought I was unattractive. But I was never one of the girls at school who had lots of boyfriends.
Emily Mortimer
Life is not so important as the duties of life.
John Randolph
The value of marriage is not that adults produce children but that children produce adults.
Peter De Vries
Instead of thinking about where you are, think about where you want to be. It takes twenty years of hard work to become an overnight success.
Diana Rankin
While many of us never knew Ronald Reagan personally, we felt close to him because we shared his lighthearted sense of humor, admired his uncommon virtue, and were moved by his remarkable wisdom.
Randy Forbes
Environmental concern is now firmly embedded in public life: in education, medicine and law in journalism, literature and art.
Barry Commoner
The individual woman is required a thousand times a day to choose either to accept her appointed role and thereby rescue her good disposition out of the wreckage of her self-respect, or else follow an independent line of behavior and rescue her self-respect out of the wreckage of her good disposition.
Jeannette Rankin
I want to stand by my country, but I cannot vote for war. I vote no.
Man was created as a being who should constantly keep improving, a being who on reaching one goal sets a higher one.
Ralph Ransom
The best way to reduce the cost of medical care is to reduce the illness.
Arlen Specter
Before the reward there must be labor. You plant before you harvest. You sow in tears before you reap joy.
The party of God and the party of Literature have more in common than either will admit; their texts may conflict, but their bigotries coincide. Both insist on being the sole custodians of the true word and its only interpreters.
Frederic Raphael
The courage of a soldier is found to be the cheapest and most common quality of human nature.
Edward Gibbon
People resent articulacy, as if articulacy were a form of vice.
The great networks are there to prove that ideas can be canned like spaghetti. If everything ends up by tasting like everything else, is that not the evidence that it has been properly cooked?
It's not always thankless. Let's face it - it's not always thankless. I've gotten a lot of really great recognition and I've worked with amazing people.
Kyra Sedgwick
The television critic, whatever his pretensions, does not labor in the same vineyard as those he criticizes; his grapes are all sour.
As far as the leading man/romantic lead, I'll tell you what, I really enjoyed my experience more than I thought or imagined I would on 'Catch and Release.' God bless them if they want to give me another shot at that. I would love to have that as something I can go to on occasion.
Timothy Olyphant
One cannot play chess if one becomes aware of the pieces as living souls and of the fact that the Whites and the Blacks have more in common with each other than with the players. Suddenly one loses all interest in who will be champion.
Anatol Rapoport
When I grip the wheel too tight, I find I lose control.
Steve Rapson
What no wife of a writer can ever understand is that a writer is working when he's staring out of the window.
Burton Rascoe
There are lots of different ways for women to be a mom in this culture.
Kate Walsh
I have come back again to where I belong; not an enchanted place, but the walls are strong.
Dorothy H. Rath
In my life I've learned that true happiness comes from giving. Helping others along the way makes you evaluate who you are. I think that love is what we're all searching for. I haven't come across anyone who didn't become a better person through love.
Marla Gibbs
Welcome to Lake Wobegon, where all the women are strong, all the men are good-looking, and all the children are above average.
Garrison Keillor
I've done some acting and a lot of different things, but mostly it's the music.
Joan Jett
