If they asked me, I did two shifts. I did sports, I did news, because I loved it.

Men are nicotine soaked, beer besmirched, whiskey greased, red-eyed devils.

In particular I may mention Sophocles the poet, who was once asked in my presence, How do you feel about love, Sophocles? are you still capable of it? to which he replied, Hush! if you please: to my great delight I have escaped from it, and feel as if I had escaped from a frantic and savage master. I thought then, as I do now, that he spoke wisely. For unquestionably old age brings us profound repose and freedom from this and other passions.

Plato

It was told to me, it was in a manner forced on me by the very person herself whose prior engagement ruined all my prospects, and told me, as I thought, with triumph. This person's suspicions, therefore, I have had to oppose by endeavouring to appear indifferent where I have been most deeply interested; and it has not been only once; I have had her hopes and exultations to listen to again and again. I have known myself to be divided from Edward forever, without hearing one circumstance that could make me less desire the connection. Nothing has proved him unworthy; nor has anything declared him indifferent to me. I have had to content against the unkindness of his sister and the insolence of his mother, and have suffered the punishment of an attachment without enjoying its advantages. And all this has been going on at the time when, as you too well know, it has not been my only unhappiness. If you can think me capable of ever feeling, surely you may suppose that I have suffered .

Jane Austen

The charity that hastens to proclaim its good deeds, ceases to be charity, and is only pride and ostentation.

William Hutton

We must be prepared to make heroic sacrifices for the cause of peace that we make ungrudgingly for the cause of war. There is no task that is more important or closer to my heart.

Albert Einstein

I knew a girl that was so ugly that... They use her in prisons to cure sex offenders.

Rodney Dangerfield

There is no way to success in art but to take off your coat, grind paint, and work like a digger on the railroad, all day and every day.

Ralph Waldo Emerson

I would never have amounted to anything were it not for adversity. I was forced to come up the hard way.

J. C. (James Cash) Penney

It is only with true love and compassion that we can begin to mend what is broken in the world. It is these two blessed things that can begin to heal all broken hearts.

Steve Maraboli

Money begets money.

Italian Proverb

In essence, String Theory describes space and time, matter and energy, gravity and light, indeed all of God's creation... as music.

Roy H. Williams

Sincerity is like traveling on a plain, beaten road, which commonly brings a man sooner to his journey's end than by-ways, in which men often lose themselves.

John Tillotson
