Beauty is only skin deep. If you go after someone just because she's beautiful but don't have anything to talk about, it's going to get boring fast. You want to look beyond the surface and see if you can have fun or if you have anything in common with this person.

In the 19th century, you had bourgeois art without politics - an almost frozen idea of what beauty is.

Douglas Sirk

With my daughter, we do arts and crafts, we read a lot, we listen to music, and we cut the strings off balloons and bounce them around after birthday parties.

Lisa Loeb

Each person must live their life as a model for others.

Rosa Parks

She was not quite what you would call refined. She was not quite what you would call unrefined. She was the kind of person that keeps a parrot.

Mark Twain

However much you knock at nature's door, she will never answer you in comprehensible words.

Ivan Turgenev

The unnatural, that too is natural.

Johann von Goethe

Sure I am of this, that you have only to endure to conquer. You have only to persevere to save yourselves.

Sir Winston Churchill

The life of man is the true romance, which when it is valiantly conduced, will yield the imagination a higher joy than any fiction.

Ralph Waldo Emerson

Fit no stereotypes. Don't chase the latest management fads. The situation dictates which approach best accomplishes the team's mission.

Colin Powell

Louise Hart

Anyone can support a team that is winning - it takes no courage. But to stand behind a team to defend a team when it is down and really needs you, that takes a lot of courage.

Bart Starr

The planet has a fever. If your baby has a fever, you go to the doctor. If the doctor says you need to intervene here, you don't say, Well, I read a science fiction novel that told me it's not a problem. If the crib's on fire, you don't speculate that the baby is flame retardant. You take action.
