The entertainment business is hard on relationships, but it's just as hard on your own spiritual well-being. It's easy to lose focus, to forget your priorities and wander from the path.

Ralph Winter, Behind the Screen

This wasn't a strange place; it was a new one.

Paolo Coehlo

Proverb

Never seem more learned than the people you are with. Wear your learning like a pocket watch and keep it hidden. Do not pull it out to count the hours, but give the time when you are asked.

Lord Chesterfield

Richard Hatch

If we cannot now end our differences, at least we can help make the world safe for diversity.

John Fitzgerald Kennedy

I cannot imaging anyone looking at the sky and denying God.

Janeane Garofalo

The energy of the mind is the essence of life.

Aristotle
