The best armor is to keep out of gunshot.

Action, looks, words, steps, form the alphabet by which you may spell character.

Johann Kaspar Lavater

The term 'geek' for me is like you having a passion, interest in something that is unabashed and you don't care if people think it's not cool. You think it's cool and that's your thing.

Dominic Monaghan

When you win, say nothing. When you lose, say less.

Paul Brown

MY THEORY: the trouble is in the mind, for the body is only the house for the mind to dwell in . . . If your mind has been deceived by some invisible enemy into a belief, you have put it into the form of a disease, with or without your knowledge. By my theory or truth I come in contact with your enemy and restore you to health and happiness.

Phineas Parkhurst Quimby, Comple

Only he who can say, The Lord is my strength, can say, Of whom shall I be afraid?

Alexander Maclaren

Nothing happens by itself... it all will come your way, once you understand that you have to make it come your way, by your own exertions.

Ben Stein

I didn't ask for it to be over. But then again I didn't ask for it to begin. For that's the way it is with life, as some of the most beautiful days come completely by chance. But even the most beautiful days eventually have their sunset

Javan

Whatever your supposed politics are - left, right - if you put it in a human connection, most people will rise to the occasion and feel the human pain in a way that they might not if it was presented in a more conceptual way.

George Saunders

There's no telling what might have happened to our defense budget if Saddam Hussein hadn't invaded Kuwait that August and set everyone gearing up for World War II. Can we count on Saddam Hussein to come along every year and resolve our defense-policy debates? Given the history of the Middle East, it's possible.

P. J. O'Rourke

Une religion, par exemple, qui doit être transformée en savoir historique, une religion qui doit être étudiée de part en part scientifiquement, une fois cette étape franchie, sera par l? même détruite. Toute vérificatiuon historique amène au jour tant de choses fausses, grossières, inhumaines, absurdes, violentes que, forcément, se dissipe l'atmosphère d'illusion pieuse où tout ce qui a le désir de vivre peut seul prospérer.Deuxième Considération intempestive, ch. 7

Friedrich Nietzsche

Life is a process. We are a process. The universe is a process.

Anne Wilson Schaef

The older I get the more wisdom I find in the ancient rule of taking first things first. A process which often reduces the most complex human problem to a manageable proportion.

Dwight D. Eisenhower
