David Beckham

But I am just as appalled that my experience, knowledge, dedication and service relative to defending the United States against biological warfare has been turned against me in connection with the search for the anthrax killer.

Steven Hatfill

To understand the heart and mind of a person, look not at what he has already achieved, but at what he aspires to.

Kahlil Gibran

What I really have in my head, my imagination, my understanding of music, I never really get that out.

Wynton Marsalis

Simone Weil

People grow through experience if they meet life honestly and courageously. This is how character is built.

Eleanor Roosevelt

We all remember epochs in our experience when some dear expectation dies, or some new motive is born.

George Eliot
