Once you accept your own death, all of a sudden you're free to live. You no longer care about your reputation. You no longer care except so far as your life can be used tactically to promote a cause you believe in.

No man can discover his own talents.

Brendan Francis

Passion, though a bad regulator, is a powerful spring.

Ralph Waldo Emerson

You bet every member of Congress who votes for this bill ought to read it, read it thoroughly, and understand that what we're looking at here amounts to nothing more than a government takeover of our health care economy, paid for with nearly a trillion dollars in new taxes on individuals and small businesses.

Mike Pence

After great pain, a formal feeling comes. The Nerves sit ceremonious, like tombs.

Emily Dickinson

Like warmed-up cabbage served at each repast, The repetition kills the wretch at last.

Juvenal

Wilder Penfield

You're only has good as your last haircut.

Susan Lee

Jennie Garth

American women expect to find in their husbands a perfection that English women only hope to find in their butlers.

W. Somerset Maugham

I studied with a blind teacher from about 5 until I was 16, at two different schools. From the age of 12 until 16, I was in a boarding school-which, I believe, at that time was compulsory for blind children.

George Shearing

In certain situations we'd be down and the competitor in me would want to get it all back in one play. That impatience makes for bad plays, mistakes, and turnarounds.
