Towering genius disdains a beaten path. It seeks regions hitherto unexplored.
One of the gaps in our international development efforts is the provision of global public goods - that is, goods or conditions we need that no individual or country can secure on their own, such as halting global warming, financial stability and peace and security.
Anna Lindh
I think the moments that are difficult for anybody are when you see what your life could be, if only you had the courage to take the steps needed.
John Slattery
A great deal of intelligence can be invested in ignorance when the need for illusion is deep.
Saul Bellow
I love to read. I love to stretch. In the morning, I get up, and if I'm not in a hurry, I will lie on the floor on a rug, look through some books and magazines, and maybe listen to music and try to do stretching exercises to tune up.
Jackson Browne
I aim for a lifetime full of movies.
Salma Hayek
A prince is venison in heaven.
Martin Luther King Jr.
My father really was not the dominant person who raised the family, it was my mother who raised the family.
Stevie Wonder
He who gives himself entirely to his fellow-men appears to them useless and selfish; but he who gives himself partially to them is pronounced a benefactor and philanthropist.
Henry David Thoreau
Our safety, our liberty, depends upon preserving the Constitution of the United States as our fathers made it inviolate. The people of the United States are the rightful masters of both Congress and the courts, not to overthrow the Constitution, but to overthrow the men who pervert the Constitution.
Abraham Lincoln
I really am a woman at peace.
Laura Schlessinger
We may ignore, but we can nowhere evade the presence of God. The world is crowded with Him. He walks everywhere incognito.
C.S. Lewis
It's funny recently I've started to notice people's impersonations of me, and it's basically like a hyperactive child.
Dave Grohl
I'm at the age now where just putting my cigar in its holder is a thrill.
George Burns
It is generally known, that he who expects much will be often disappointed; yet disappointment seldom cures us of expectation, or has any effect other than that of producing a moral sentence or peevish exclamation
Samuel Johnson
The true meaning of religion is thus, not simply morality, but morality touched by emotion.
Matthew Arnold
Disaster was an avalanche, gathering speed with such acceleration that you worried more about getting out of its path, not finding the pebble at its center.
Jodi Picoult
It was the pure Language of the World. It required no explanation, just as the universe needs none as it travels through endless time. What the boy felt at that moment was that he was in the presence of the only woman in his life, and that, with no need for words, she recognized the same thing. He was more certain of it than of anything in the world. He had been told by his parents and grandparents that he must fall in love and really know a person before becoming committed. But maybe people who felt that way had never learned the universal language. Because, when you know that language, it's easy to understand that someone in the world awaits you, whether it's in the middle of the desert or in some great city. And when two such people encounter each other, and their eyes meet, the past and the future become unimportant. There is only that moment, and the incredible certainty that everything under the sun has been written by one hand only. It is the hand that evokes love, and creates a twin soul for every person in the world. Without such love, one's dreams would have no meaning.
Paulo Coelho
Success doesn't necessarily come from breakthrough innovation but from flawless execution. A great strategy alone won't win a game or a battle the win comes from basic blocking and tackling.
Naveen Jain
Run to meet the future or it's going to run you down.
Anthony J. D'Angelo
As things are, and as fundamentally they must always be, poetry is not a career, but a mug's game. No honest poet can ever feel quite sure of the permanent value of what he has written: He may have wasted his time and messed up his life for nothing.
T. S. Eliot
Wait. This was the first lesson I had learned about love. The day drags along, you make thousands of plans, you imagine every possible conversation, you promise to change your behavior in certain ways -- and you feel more and more anxious until your loved one arrives. But by then, you don't know what to say. The hours of waiting have been transformed into tension, the tension has become fear, and the fear makes you embarrassed about showing affection.
But in the meantime I became accustomed to the writing life and it would be hard to change now - partly because of the salary cut if I went to my other love, teaching; and partly because I still have stories to tell, even though it isn't all that fun doing the work anymore.
Orson Scott Card
My first job was in retail at the age of 14, and I have worked in the industry ever since.
Rachel Roy
fine, go ahead. kiss me right now.alec stared in horror.exactly. despite my staggering good looks, you actually don't like me that way
Cassandra Clare
I'm always hoping for the nights that are inspired where you almost have an out of body experience.
Dave Brubeck
Every silver lining has a cloud.
Mary Kay Ash
It is remarkable how easily and insensibly we fall into a particular route, and make a beaten track for ourselves. I had not lived there a week before my feet wore a path from my door to the pond-side; and though it is five or six years since I trod it, it is still quite distinct. It is true, I fear, that others may have fallen into it, and so helped to keep it open. The surface of the earth is soft and impressible by the feet of men; and so with the paths which the mind travels. How worn and dusty, then, must be the highways of the world, how deep the ruts of tradition and conformity!
Only free men can negotiate. A prisoner cannot enter into contracts.
Nelson Mandela
My siblings and I were friends with the boys who would become our stepbrothers - we grew up on the same street. I feel very special to have these amazing people in my life and if we hadn't all moved into this big house together I think I would have missed out on that, because we would have drifted apart.
Florence Welch
It seems hard to sneak a look at God's cards. But that He plays dice and uses telepathic methods... is something that I cannot believe for a single moment.
Albert Einstein
A business that makes nothing but money is a poor business.
Henry Ford
The one thing my mom will let me get is a nice shoe sometimes.
Chloe Moretz
We may have our private opinions but why should they be a bar to the meeting of hearts?
Mahatma Gandhi
The public character of every public servant is legitimate subject of discussion, and his fitness or unfitness for office may be fairly canvassed by any person.
Charles Babbage
Being is the great explainer.
I'm too much of a coward to kill myself. And too much of a coward to live
I got the wake-up call that no one is policing our oceans. I wondered, how can I do anything? What really can I do to make things better? There are some perks to being a celebrity. My job is to be funny once in a while, but it's my responsibility to make good use of it.
Angela Kinsey
The passion of the Italian or the Italian-American population is endless for food and lore and everything about it.
Mario Batali
Of all the public services, education is the one I'm most interested in. You get a more dynamic economy, you deal with most social problems, and it's morally right.
George Osborne
Gluttony might be innocuous were it not for the fact that gluttons tend to disregard whether their self-serving behaviors harm anyone else. We don't need to look far and wide to find examples of gluttonous behavior, as they are numerous throughout the history of capitalism.
