The way to get started is to quit talking and begin doing.
The good we secure for ourselves is precarious and uncertain - until it is secured for all of us and incorporated into our common life.
Jane Addams
I hate art auctions.
Jerry Saltz
Galinda didn't see the verdant world through the glass of the carriage; she saw her own reflection instead. She had the nearsightedness of youth. She reasoned that because she was beautiful she was significant, though what she signified, and to whom, was not clear yet...She was, after all, on her way to Shiz because she was smart. But there was more than one way to be smart.
Gregory Maguire
O honorable strumpet
William Shakespeare
Not being able to fully understand God is frustrating but it is ridiculous for us to think we have the right to limit God to something we are capable of comprehending. What a stunted, insignificant god that would be! If my mind is the size of a soda can and God is the size of all the oceans, it would be stupid for me to say He is only the small amount of water I can scoop into my little can. God is so much bigger, so far beyond our time-encased, air/food/sleep-dependent lives.
Francis Chan
The whole culture is telling you to hurry, while the art tells you to take your time. Always listen to the art.
Junot Diaz
The process of discovering your fearless self is of refinement, not adding. The best way to reconnect with your freedom is to look at the rules you have that govern your freedom.
Steve Maraboli
I was the oldest of the children in my family. I had to do a lot of diaper-changing and lunch-making. I was taking my little sister to ballet, picking up my brother, sort of being a super-nanny.
Vin Diesel
Winners lose much more often than losers. So if you keep losing but you're still trying, keep it up! You...re right on track.
Matthew Keith Groves
It is seldom that we find either men or places such as we expect them.... Yet it is necessary to hope, though hope should always be deluded, for hope itself is happiness, and its frustrations, however frequent, are yet less dreadful than its extinction.
Samuel Johnson
Some of us cannot be optimists, but all of us can be bigamists
Mark Twain
War is to man what maternity is to a woman. From a philosophical and doctrinal viewpoint, I do not believe in perpetual peace.
Benito Mussolini
I'm sad to say that stardom is a commodity in our culture.
Christine Baranski
Darkness is only driven out with light, not more darkness.
Martin Luther King Jr.
Ten to 20 years out, driving your car will be viewed as equivalently immoral as smoking cigarettes around other people is today.
Marc Andreessen
I play some fighting games, but mostly I just play sports.
Vince Carter
Revolution is an abrupt change in the form of misgovernment.
Ambrose Bierce
I think first and foremost everybody should understand that Canadians are strongly committed to the system of universal health insurance, to the principle that your ability to pay does not determine your access to critical medical service.
Stephen Harper
Wouldn't it be great if we could look forward to a whole world in which no child will be left behind?
Colin Powell
When others walk away from a lost cause, then that is the time you can step in and seize success.
Stephen Richards
There are those who wrap themselves in flags and blow the tinny trumpet of patriotism as a means of fooling the people.
George Galloway
In order to be just, you should make a self-sacrifice, be unjust to yourself.
Leo Tolstoy
For me, food is all about balance. If you eat plenty of fruits, vegetables, and an appropriate amount of poultry, fish, and red meat that are sourced from good places, you're doing well. It's important to make sure that the meat you're consuming is hormone-free.
Curtis Stone
When God loves a creature he wants the creature to know the highest happiness and the deepest misery He wants him to know all that being alive can bring. That is his best gift. There is no happiness save in understanding the whole.
Thornton Wilder
Llegaste a mi vida y de repente tuve una verdad a la que aferrarme: que yo te amaba y tú me amabas.
Cassandra Clare
Central to America's rise to global leadership is our Judeo-Christian tradition with the vision of the goodness and possibilities of every human life.
Mitt Romney
War is not the quintessential emergency in which man has to prove himself, as my generation learned at its school desks in the days of the Kaiser rather, peace is the emergency in which we all have to prove ourselves.
Gustav Heinemann
I do not at all have the mind of a bully... in my mind bullies are intolerant of contrary opinion, domineering and rather cowardly. I would hope that none of those terms could be fairly used in describing me.
Conrad Black
There is no satisfaction in hanging a man who does not object to it.
George Bernard Shaw
I can't imagine a man really enjoying a book and reading it only once.
C.S. Lewis
...it is well know that a vital ingredient of success is not knowing that what you're attempting can't be done.
Terry Pratchett
Someone said that inflation is like jumping off the top of the Empire State Building. The sensation is great as long as you keep on going.
David H. Scott
Technology may create a condition, but the questions are what do we do about ourselves. We better understand ourselves pretty clearly and we better find ways to like ourselves.
Herbert Simon
There's a time when you have to explain to your children why they're born, and it's a marvelous thing if you know the reason by then.
Hazel Scott
There's only one free person in this society, and he is white and male.
Before I got here, I thought for a long time that the way out of the labyrinth was to pretend that it did not exist, to build a small, self-sufficient world in the back corner of the endless maze and to pretend that I was not lost, but home.
John Green
A person with predatory instincts who has not sufficient capital to form a corporation.
Howard Scott
Ah, well, the truth is always one thing, but in a way it's the other thing, the gossip, that counts. It shows where people's hearts lie.
