Be always displeased at what thou art, if thou desire to attain to what thou art not; for where thou hast pleased thyself, there thou abidest.

When I got to France I realized I didn't know very much about food at all. I'd never had a real cake. I'd had those cakes from cake mixes or the ones that have a lot of baking powder in them. A really good French cake doesn't have anything like that in it - it's all egg power.

Julia Child

We movie stars all end up by ourselves. Who knows? Maybe we want to.

Bette Davis

Mick Jagger and I just really liked each other a lot. We talked all night. We had the same views on nuclear disarmament.

Jerry Hall

Someplace along the line the audience discovered you. In my case it was playing the Gipper.

Ronald Reagan

No matter how corrupt and unjust a convict may be, he loves fairness more than anything else. If the people placed over him are unfair, from year to year he lapses into an embittered state characterized by an extreme lack of faith.

Anton Chekhov

The actors today really need the whip hand. They're so lazy. They haven't got the sense of pride in their profession that the less socially elevated musical comedy and music hall people or acrobats have. The theater has never been any good since the actors became gentlemen.

W. H. Auden

The same wind that uproots treesmakes the grass shine.The lordly wind loves the weaknessand the lowness of grasses.Never brag of being strong.The axe doesn't worry how thick the branches are.It cuts them to pieces. But not the leaves.It leaves the leaves alone.

Rumi

No human should mislead another by promising them something they know to be untrue.

Santosh Kalwar

It is, I think, an indisputable fact that Americans are, as Americans, the most self-conscious people in the world, and the most addicted to the belief that the other nations of the earth are in a conspiracy to under value them.

Henry James

Humanity needs dreams to be able to survive the miseries of daily existence, even if only for an instant.

Oscar Niemeyer

When you explore your fears then you set yourself free.

Stephen Richards

I admire President Chavez for his strength to resist the United States. Instead, Bush is waging a war of terrorism against the world.
