We become just by performing just actions, temperate by performing temperate actions, brave by performing brave actions.

Beauty and the devil are the same thing.

Robert Mapplethorpe

Nothing ever comes to one, that is worth having, except as a result of hard work.

Booker T. Washington

For the meaning of life differs from man to man, from day to day and from hour to hour. What matters, therefore, is not the meaning of life in general but rather the specific meaning of a person's life at a given moment.

Victor Frankl

Just the actual physical ability to hold four instruments simultaneously and do some of the things that Vivien was able to do is mind blowing to any surgeon. He never went to medical school and he became one of the great teachers of medicine himself, people are just amazed.

Mary Stuart Masterson

We dribble away our life, little by little, in small packages -- we don't throw it away all at once.

Robert A. Cook

We have a powerful potential in out youth, and we must have the courage to change old ideas and practices so that we may direct their power toward good ends.

Mary McLeod Bethune

Sometimes a technology is so awe-inspiring that the imagination runs away with it - often far, far away from reality. Robots are like that. A lot of big and ultimately unfulfilled promises were made in robotics early on, based on preliminary successes.

Daniel H. Wilson

Love grows more tremendously full, swift, poignant, as the years multiply.

Zane Grey

A joke is like building a mousetrap from scratch. You have to work pretty hard to make the thing snap when it is supposed to snap.

Kurt Vonnegut

If not for music, I would probably be a very frustrated scientist. It's one way to answer the question, 'What is the meaning of life?' I feel music answers it better.

Paula Cole

I took some time out for life.

James L. Brooks

Farmers are respectable and interesting to me in proportion as they are poor.

Henry David Thoreau
