Always bear in mind that your own resolution to succeed is more important than any one thing.

The same meaning changes with the words which express it. Meanings receive their dignity from words instead of giving it to them.

Blaise Pascal

Everybody's a filmmaker today.

John Milius

Tragedy is an imitation of a whole and complete action of some amplitude. . . . Now a whole is that which has a beginning, a middle, and an end.

Aristotle

A woman has two smiles that an angel might envy, the smile that accepts a lover before words are uttered, and the smile that lights on the first born babe, and assures it of a mother's love.

Thomas Chandler Haliburton

Sin has always been an ugly word, but it has been made so in a new sense over the last half-century. It has been made not only ugly but pass?. People are no longer sinful, they are only immature or underprivileged or frightened or, more particularly, sick.

Phyllis McGinley

Mediocrity is self-inflicted and genius is self-bestowed.

Walter Russell

I wish you all manner of prosperity, with a little more taste.

AlainRene Le Sage

I'm for whatever gets you through the night.

Frank Sinatra

I think if you just look at life in a positive way, positive things will happen.

Jake Owen

There are official searchers, inquisitors. I have seen them in the performance of their function: they always arrive extremely tired from their journeys; they speak of a broken stairway which almost killed them; they talk with the librarian of galleries and stairs; sometimes they pick up the nearest volume and leaf through it, looking for infamous words. Obviously, no one expects to discover anything.

Jorge Luis Borges

People quit on jobs. They quit on marriages. They quit on school. There's an immediacy of this day and age that doesn't lend itself to being committed to anything.

Emily Blunt

The only thing I would unequivocally say is that I have never had any interest in romantic comedy I just couldn't do it. I think I'd be terrible.

Christian Bale
