Act quickly, think slowly.

Clearly romantic comedy is my franchise genre, I don't mind saying that, it's true. I love doing them and hopefully always will do them.

Meg Ryan

Every man has a specific skill, whether it is discovered or not, that more readily and naturally comes to him than it would to another, and his own should be sought and polished. He excels best in his niche - originality loses its authenticity in one's efforts to obtain originality.

Criss Jami

A divided kingdom cannot defend itself from its adversaries. A divided person cannot face life in a dignified way.

Paulo Coelho

I got this today, they say; tomorrow I shall get that. This wealth is mine, and that will be mine too. I have destroyed my enemies. I shall destroy others too! Am I not like God? I enjoy what I want. I am successful. I am powerful. I am happy. I am rich and well-born. Who is equal to me? I will perform sacrifices and give gifts, and rejoice in my own generosity. This is how they go on, deluded by ignorance. Bound by their greed and entangled in a web of delusion, whirled about by a fragmented mind, they fall into a dark hell. Self-important, obstinate, swept away by the pride of wealth, they ostentatiously perform sacrifices without any regard for their purpose. Egotistical, violent, arrogant, lustful, angry, envious of everyone, they abuse my presence within their own bodies and in the bodies of others.

Bhagavad Gita

We rely upon the poets, the philosophers, and the playwrights to articulate what most of us can only feel, in joy or sorrow. They illuminate the thoughts for which we only grope; they give us the strength and balm we cannot find in ourselves. Whenever I feel my courage wavering, I rush to them. They give me the wisdom of acceptance, the will and resiliance to push on.

Helen Hayes

There is nothing that makes its way more directly into the soul than beauty.

Joseph Addison

We are all what we pretend to be, but, we had better be very careful what we pretend.

Kurt Vonnegut

Let me alone, and go in search of someone else.

Ali ibn Abi Talib

One must change one's tactics every ten years if one wishes to maintain one's superiority.

Napoleon Bonaparte

Remember, a dead fish can float downstream, but it takes a live one to swim upstream.

W. C. Fields

Time destroys the speculation of men, but it confirms nature.

Marcus Tullius Cicero

It takes two to make a relationship, but only one to screw it up.
