In art the best is good enough.

We often say that the biggest job we have is to teach a newly hired employee to fail intelligently... to experiment over and over again and to keep on trying and failing until he learns what will work.

Charles Franklin Kettering

If you can see it, you can achieve it. God helps those who helps themselves. Power is in the act of humility.

Patricia Amis

In true dialogue, both sides are willing to change.

Thich Nhat Hanh

Error is a hardy plant; it flourisheth in every soil; In the heart of the wise and good, alike with the wicked and foolish; For there is no error so crooked, but it hath in it some lines of truth; Nor is any poison so deadly, that it serveth not some wholesome use.

Martin Farquhar Tupper

Let me say again that the relationship is asymmetrical: there's no democracy without a market economy, but you can have a market economy without democracy.

Peter L. Berger

That's the kind of ad I like, facts, facts, facts.

Samuel Goldwyn

Is not birth, beauty, good shape, discourse, Manhood, learning, gentleness, virtue, youth, liberality, and such like, the spice and salt that season a man

William Shakespeare

At that instant he saw, in one blaze of light, an image of unutterable conviction, the reason why the artist works and lives and has his being--the reward he seeks--the only reward he really cares about, without which there is nothing. It is to snare the spirits of mankind in nets of magic, to make his life prevail through his creation, to wreak the vision of his life, the rude and painful substance of his own experience, into the congruence of blazing and enchanted images that are themselves the core of life, the essential pattern whence all other things proceed, the kernel of eternity.

Thomas Wolfe, Of Time and the Ri

I didn't know the full dimensions of forever, but I knew it was longer than waiting for Christmas to come.

Richard Brautigan

To love is to admire with the heart; to admire is to love with the mind.

Theophile Gautier

I'm constantly learning, and that is the greatest gift of life in my opinion - to always be learning and growing.

Kristin Chenoweth

How deep a wound to morals and social purity has that accursed article of the celibacy of the clergy been! Even the best and most enlightened men in Romanist countries attach a notion of impurity to the marriage of a clergyman. And can such a feeling be without its effect on the estimation of the wedded life in general? Impossible! and the morals of both sexes in Spain, Italy, France, and. prove it abundantly.

Samuel Taylor Coleridge
