I also had a mistaken attitude towards certain comrades.

The sinning is the best part of repentance.

Arabic Proverb

Attitude is more important than the past, than education, than money, than circumstances, than what people do or say. It is more important than appearance, giftedness, or skill.

Charles R. Swindoll

The liberally educated person is one who is able to resist the easy and preferred answers, not because he is obstinate but because he knows others worthy of consideration.

Allan Bloom

I love funny people, and when I'm with funny people, or people who are amusing in their weirdness, I love it. Because that to me is funny, as opposed to someone who stops and says, 'Hey let me tell you a joke.'

Paul Feig

Do not waste a minute -- not a second -- in trying to demonstrate to others the merits of your performance. If your work does not vindicate itself, you cannot vindicate it.

Thomas Wentworth Higginson

Une religion, par exemple, qui doit être transformée en savoir historique, une religion qui doit être étudiée de part en part scientifiquement, une fois cette étape franchie, sera par l? même détruite. Toute vérificatiuon historique amène au jour tant de choses fausses, grossières, inhumaines, absurdes, violentes que, forcément, se dissipe l'atmosphère d'illusion pieuse où tout ce qui a le désir de vivre peut seul prospérer.Deuxième Considération intempestive, ch. 7

Friedrich Nietzsche

TV is easier: it's all planned out for you and the audience is there to see a show and they are all pumped up but when you are in a comedy club, you have to be really funny to win them over.

Drew Carey

A bank is a place that will lend you money if you can prove you don't need it.

Bob Hope

You need to believe in things that aren't true. How else can they ?

Terry Pratchett

The chief element in the art of statesmanship under modern conditions is the ability to elucidate the confused and clamorous interests which converge upon the seat of government. It is an ability to penetrate from the na?ve self-interest of each group to its permanent and real interest. Statesmanship consists in giving the people not what they want but what they will learn to want.

Walter Lippmann

Without the meditative background that is criticism, works become isolated gestures, historical accidents, soon forgotten.

Milan Kundera

The artist one day falls through a hole in the brambles, and from that moment he is following the dark rapids of an underground river which may sometimes flow so near to the surface that the laughing picnic parties are heard above.

Cyril Connolly
