Ambition can creep as well as soar.

A man has two primary drives in early adulthood: one toward power, success, and accomplishment; the other toward love, companionship, and sex. Half of life then was out of order. To go before them was to stand up as a man and admit that I was only half a man.

Neil Strauss

A misconception remains a misconception, even when it is shared by the majority of people.

Leo Tolstoy

It will be said that the joy of mental adventure must be rare, that there are few who can appreciate it, and that ordinary education can take no account of so aristocratic a good. I do not believe this. The joy of mental adventure is far commoner in the young than in grown men and women. ...It is rare in later life because everything is done to kill it during education.

Bertrand Russell

Sleep more at night. If it's allowed at work or home, take a nap in the afternoon. You'll be amazed at how much better you'll feel.

Ben Stein

Don't be afraid to feel as angry or as loving as you can, because when you feel nothing, it's just death.

Lena Horne

I regard as a mortal sin not only the lying of the senses in matters of love, but also the illusion which the senses seek to create where love is only partial. I say, I believe, that one must love with all of one's being, or else live, come what may, a life of complete chastity.

George Sand

War alone brings up to their highest tension all human energies and imposes the stamp of nobility upon the peoples who have the courage to make it.

Benito Mussolini

Do you realize what this means? The fact of being alive... I still find it staggering that I am here at all.

Christopher Leach

Knowledge becomes wisdom only after it has been put to practical use.

Source Unknown

Lots of folks confuse bad management with destiny.

Kin Hubbard

The making of 'Naked' was an absolutely phenomenal, mind-bending experience. That film was life-changing and put my career onto a whole different level.

David Thewlis

In a healthy nation there is a kind of dramatic balance between the will of the people and the government, which prevents its degeneration into tyranny.

Albert Einstein
