It is art that makes life, makes interest, makes importance and I know of no substitute whatever for the force and beauty of its process.

Nothing can discourage the appetite for divinity in the heart of man.

Albert Camus

Determination is the wake-up call to the human will.

Anthony Robbins

We're definitely a hodgepodge of influences. Mine, most heavily, would be Southern rock - the Allman Brothers, Lynyrd Skynyrd and stuff like that. Hillary is more from the country side - her mom is Linda Davis, a country singer. Dave, he's a big fan of the Eagles and like that.

Charles Kelley

I hate politics. I like to write about it, but to get involved in it, to try and make a lot of ignorant people do what you want them to do, waste of time. Go and write a book. It's more important and it'll last longer.

Wilbur Smith

Beyond a doubt truth bears the same relation to falsehood as light to darkness.

Leonardo da Vinci

Let the child's first lesson be obedience, and the second will be what thou wilt.

Benjamin Franklin

Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired signifies, in the final sense, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed. This world in arms is not spending money alone. It is spending the sweat of its laborers, the genius of its scientists, the hopes of its children . . . Under the cloud of threatening war, it is humanity hanging from a cross of iron.http://www.eisenhower.archives.gov/chance.htm

Dwight D Eisenhower, from The Ch

I love you the more in that I believe you had liked me for my own sake and for nothing else.

John Keats

What nature requires is obtainable, and within easy reach. It is for the superfluous we sweat.

Lucius Annaeus Seneca

Our faith acknowledges that no two people think, believe, taste, feel, hear, or encounter life in the same way. Those who are disciplined, for whatever reason, to conform to a single commonly held creed seek their own truthful and compassionate ways to live. We give our approval and seek acceptance because it is validating. It frees us to become our best selves. It is our very differences that make it necessary to practice acceptance toward one another.

My first car, I got it in an auction at my temple. It was an '86 Volvo that I got for 500 bucks, and then wound up throwing $10,000 into the stereo system and put TVs in the foot rests. It was the most ridiculous Volvo you'd ever seen, but I had never had money before and I was out of my mind.

Shia LaBeouf

I think the Iraqi people have shown extraordinary patience and courage in the last few months. They have really put a political system on the way to success, to a real democracy here.
