Best of all is it to preserve everything in a pure, still heart, and let there be for every pulse a thanksgiving, and for every breath a song.

The bottom line is, I'm blessed with good health. On top of that, I don't go around thinking 'Oh, I'm 90, I better do this or I better do that.' I'm just Betty. I'm the same Betty that I've always been. Take it or leave it.

Betty White

So I put up with bad behavior in the name of loving the way I thought you were supposed to love.

Sir Walter Scott

Epicurus

Roger Wicker

I don't design cars. I'm not a designer. I know what I desire to be built, I know what the end result is, the horsepower, the competition we'll be working against - but I leave it to the people who work with me to put it all together. I don't do anything.

Caroll Shelby

Art not only imitates nature, but also completes its deficiencies.

Aristotle

You're no help, he told the lime. This was unfair. It was only a lime; there was nothing special about it at all. It was doing the best it could.
