I have yet to see any problem, however complicated, which, when you looked at it in the right way, did not become still more complicated.
Winner expects to win in advance. Life is a self-fulfilling prophesy.

Rarely do the followers exceed the expectations of the leaders.
Employees tend to live up to their managers expectations of them. If a managers expectations are high, productivity is likely to be excellent.
You realize that however much you don't think about death - or think that's for other people - you're just an organism living from day to day. I'm just grateful I'm here.
Robin Gibb
Experience is what you get when you were expecting something else.
A careful inventory of all your past experiences may disclose the startling fact that everything has happened for the best.
Only strength can cooperate. Weakness can only beg.
Dwight D. Eisenhower
It's superfun being a mom, but it's hard too.
Gwen Stefani
Everyone has 20/20 hindsight
Experience is a wonderful thing, it enables you to recognize a mistake when you make it again.
Everything in the world is about sex except sex. Sex is about power.
Oscar Wilde
Experience is largely non-transferable.
It might be possible that the world itself is without meaning.
Virginia Woolf
Art is anything you can get away with.
Marshall McLuhan
We burned to death 100,000 Japanese civilians in Tokyo - men, women and children. LeMay recognized that what he was doing would be thought immoral if his side had lost. But what makes it immoral if you lose and not immoral if you win?
Robert McNamara
You know what gets me?... How everybody says fuck and shit all the time. I used to be scared shitless if I'd say fuck or shit in public, by accident. Now everybody says fuck and shit, fuck and shit all the time. Something very big must have happened while we were out of the country.
Kurt Vonnegut
There is no substitute for hard work, 23 or 24 hours a day. And there is no substitute for patience and acceptance.
Cesar Chavez
I think people like to see the lives of artists that are legends. They always go through the dark periods and I think just as humans we like to see that and them coming out of it. I love those kinds of movies.
Kristen Wiig
From reading over the notes for each session it was apparent that there had been improvement by more or less regular steps from almost complete terror at sight of the rabbit to a completely positive response with no signs of disturbance.
Mary C. Jones
If the law is upheld only by government officials, then all law is at an end.
Herbert Hoover
Still, being fragile creatures, humans always try to hide from themselves the certainty that they will die. They do not see that it is death itself that motivates them to do the best things in their lives. They are afraid to step into the dark, afraid of the unknown, and their only way of conquering that fear is to ignore the fact that their days are numbered. They do not see that with an awareness of death, they would be able to be even more daring, to go much further in their daily conquests, because then they would have nothing to lose- for death itself is inevitable.
Paulo Coelho
Analyzing humor is like dissecting a frog. Few people are interested and the frog dies of it.
E. B. White
I believe that if one always looked at the skies, one would end up with wings.
Gustave Flaubert
One for sorrow, two for mirth, three for a wedding, four for a birth, five for silver, six for gold, seven for a secret that's never been told. ~ Simon
Cassandra Clare
There is great food in Vegas.
Eric Ripert
My parents would frisk me before family events. Before weddings, funerals, bar mitzvahs, and what have you. Because if they didn't, then the book would be hidden inside some pocket or other and as soon as whatever it was got under way I'd be found in a corner. That was who I was...that was what I did. I was the kid with the book.
Neil Gaiman
In the modern world of business, it is useless to be a creative, original thinker unless you can also sell what you create.
David Ogilvy
What then is capital punishment but the most premeditated of murders, to which no criminal's deed, however calculated it may be, can be compared For there to be an equivalence, the death penalty would have to punish a criminal, who had warned his victim of the date at which he would inflict a horrible death on him, and who from that moment onward had confined him at his mercy for months. Such a monster is not encountered in private life.
Albert Camus
Stand upright, speak thy thoughts, declare The truth thou hast, that all may share; Be bold, proclaim it everywhere: They only live who dare.
Voltaire
It has become appallingly obvious that our technology has exceeded our humanity.
Albert Einstein
As our enemies have found we can reason like men, so now let us show them we can fight like men also.
Thomas Jefferson
When his life was ruined, his family killed, his farm destroyed, Job knelt down on the ground and yelled up to the heavens, Why god? Why me? and the thundering voice of God answered, There's just something about you that pisses me off.
Stephen King
I didn't appreciate the young woman that I was, or my young beauty, because I was so obsessed with the fact that I felt fat. It's never good to add to anybody else's suffering. It's an important topic to really get the gravity and the importance of - dealing with dignity.
Margaret Cho
Those who do not know how to live must make a merit of dying
George Bernard Shaw
Regard your soldiers as your children, and they will follow you into the deepest valleys look on them as your own beloved sons, and they will stand by you even unto death.
Sun Tzu
My mom passed away a day before high school started, and her dream was for me to be a full rock and roll guy, and play drums in a band.
Travis Barker
I'm definitely doing better. I never realized that I would get the support that I've gotten from everybody - from my fans, to people that I've idolized my whole life. So it's overwhelming, it's amazing and I believe that everything happens for a reason so I'm in a really good place right now.
Pia Toscano
Religion, oh, just another of those numerous failures resulting from an attempt to popularize art.
Ezra Pound
I... grew up in politics and I used to work for the Democratic Party.
Harvey Weinstein
We are continually faced by great opportunities brilliantly disguised as insoluble problems.
