The trick is to realize that after giving your best, there's nothing more to give.
All conservatism is based upon the idea that if you leave things alone you leave them as they are. But you do not. If you leave a thing alone you leave it to a torrent of change.
Gilbert K. Chesterton
Beauty awakens the soul to act.
Dante Alighieri
Men can have a huge turnover of sponsorship and still survive a lot better than the women. But the women's ratings are better, at least at home in the United States than in the men's tennis.
Billie Jean King
Any kid will run any errand for you, if you ask at bedtime.
Red Skelton
If we do not get No Child Left Behind right for Limited English Proficient students, the law will be a failure for most schools in the 15th Congressional District, and for many across the nation.
Ruben Hinojosa
The supreme quality for leadership is unquestionably integrity. Without it, no real success is possible, no matter whether it is on a section gang, a football field, in an army, or in an office.
Dwight D. Eisenhower
Science fiction has its own history, its own legacy of what's been done, what's been superseded, what's so much part of the furniture it's practically part of the fabric now, what's become no more than a joke... and so on. It's just plain foolish, as well as comically arrogant, to ignore all this, to fail to do the most basic research.
Iain Banks
If I like a food, I'll eat it, even if I know it's not good for me.
Kim Kardashian
After a gig I always head back to the hotel, remembering granny's words of wisdom. I cancel the late-night pizza and watch the Jonathan Ross show instead.
Jimmy Carr
I am a candid interview and I have a dark and dry sense of humor - a very Canadian sense of humor and I am only learning now stupidly that you can't read tongue. When I say something funny in a newspaper and I meant it to be funny, it doesn't read that way.
Michael Buble
With any group of people in life, sad things happen, and crazy things, and happy things. When you're in the public eye, it's just amplified, that's all.
Margot Kidder
Women are treated differently by society for exactly the same reason that children and the mentally handicapped are treated differently.
Scott Adams
I went to Massachusetts to make a difference. I didn't go there to begin a political career running time and time again. I made a difference. I put in place the things I wanted to do.
Mitt Romney
The human imagination...has great difficulty in living strictly within the confines of a materialist practice or philosophy. It dreams, like a dog in its basket, of hares in the open.
John Berger, The Soul and the Op
So I started chanting when I was nineteen, which was about twelve years ago, and it really had a huge impact on my outlook, happiness, and general creativity.
Duncan Sheik
Ours is the century of enforced travel. . . of disappearances. The century of people helplessly seeing others, who were close to them, disappear over the horizon.
John Berger, Ev'ry Time We Say G
I want our government to encourage and protect freedom as well as our traditions of faith and family.
Jesse Helms
I have wandered all my life, and I have traveled; the difference between the two is this -- we wander for distraction, but we travel for fulfillment.
Hilaire Belloc
As a society, I think we express our cultural mores through our politics. We're trying constantly to figure out what's OK and what's not OK. And it's hard, because our society is constantly buffeted by gale force winds of technology. Things are always changing.
Daniel H. Wilson
Suffering is nothing. It's all a matter of preventing those you love from suffering.
Alphonse Daudet
Being a teenager is an amazing time and a hard time. It's when you make your best friends - I have girls who will never leave my heart and I still talk to. You get the best and the worst as a teen. You have the best friendships and the worst heartbreaks.
Sophia Bush
The clever way death cuts us down, but makes it look like just a thinning-out. Generations never fall with one blow - that would be too sad and too obvious. Death prefers to do it piecemeal. The meadow is attacked from several sides at the same time. One of us goes one day; another some time afterwards; you have to stand back and look around you to take in what's missing, to grasp the vast slaughter of your generation...
Alphonse Daudet, Adapted from Ju
Time is shortening. But every day that I challenge this cancer and survive is a victory for me.
Ingmar Bergman
One of the major goals of health insurance reform is to bring down the cost.
Valerie Jarrett
The goal is to live a full, productive life even with all that ambiguity. No matter what happens, whether the cancer never flares up again or whether you die, the important thing is that the days that you have had you will have lived.
Gilda Radner
I like poems that are little games.
Peter Davison
As far as service goes, it can take the form of a million things. To do service, you don't have to be a doctor working in the slums for free, or become a social worker. Your position in life and what you do doesn't matter as much as how you do what you do.
Elisabeth KublerRoss
There's good and bad everywhere in any aspect in life. The only people who we can't really trust are politicians. Because those guys lie to everybody and constantly.
Demian Bichir
Anything I do has to be directly related to my music. If it isn't, I don't really see a point to it.
Alanis Morissette
The ultimate lesson all of us have to learn is unconditional love, which includes not only others but ourselves as well.
Friendship needs no words - it is solitude delivered from the anguish of loneliness.
Dag Hammarskjold
Film as dream, film as music. No form of art goes beyond ordinary consciousness as film does, straight to our emotions, deep into the twilight room of the soul. A little twitch in our optic nerve, a shock effect: twenty-four illuminated frames a second, darkness in between, the optic nerve incapable of registering darkness.
Ingmar Bergman, Laterna Magica
It is well for people who think to change their minds occasionally in order to keep them clean. For those who do not think, it is best at least to rearrange their prejudices once in a while.
Luther Burbank
A film is -- or should be -- more like music than like fiction. It should be a progression of moods and feelings.
Stanley Kubrick
Women are wiser than men because they know less and understand more.
James Thurber
You cannot make yourself feel something you do not feel, but you can make yourself do right in spite of your feelings.
Pearl Buck
User-centered design means understanding what your users need, how they think, and how they behave - and incorporating that understanding into every aspect of your process.
Jesse James Garrett
Everything is worth precisely as much as a belch, the difference being that a belch is more satisfying.
I have heard there are troubles of more than one kind.Some come from ahead and some come from behind.But I've bought a big bat. I'm all ready you see.Now my troubles are going to have troubles with me!
Dr. Seuss (Theodor Seuss Geisel)
I have no regrets. I wouldn't have lived my life the way I did if I was going to worry about what people were going to say.
Ingrid Bergman
