It always seems impossible until it is done.

Life is supposed to get tough.

Kelsey Grammer

Get around people who have something of value to share with you. Their impact will continue to have a significant effect on your life long they have departed.

Jim Rohn

New ideas should confront old ideas. We must refer to the example of Europe. People have fought to make Europe what it is today. Freedom is not something that is served up on a plate.

Tahar Ben Jelloun

I cannot help fearing that men may reach a point where they look on every new theory as a danger, every innovation as a toilsome trouble, every social advance as a first step toward revolution, and that they may absolutely refuse to move at all for fear of being carried off their feet. The prospect really does frighten me that they may finally become so engrossed in a cowardly love of immediate pleasures that their interest in their own future and in that of their descendants may vanish, and that they will prefer tamely to follow the course of their destiny rather than make a sudden energetic effort necessary to set things right.

Alexis de Tocqueville

Lend yourself to others, but give yourself to yourself.

Michel de Montaigne

History repeats itself. Historians repeat each other.

Philip Guedalla

That's what's so stupid about the whole magic thing, you know. You spend twenty years learning the spell that makes nude virgins appear in your bedroom, and then you're so poisoned by quicksilver fumes and half-blind from reading old grimoires that you can't remember what happens next.

Terry Pratchett

Each instant of life is a step toward death.

Pierre Corneille

A writer should have this little voice inside of you saying, Tell the truth. Reveal a few secrets here.

Quentin Tarantino

No other people have a government more worthy of their respect and love or a land so magnificent in extent, so pleasant to look upon, and so full of generous suggestion to enterprise and labor.

Benjamin Harrison

The way to a woman's heart is through your wallet.

Frank Dane

Judgment traps you within the limitations of your comparisons. It inhibits freedom.
