It were not best that we should all think alike it is the difference of opinion that makes horse races. - from Pudd'nhead Wilson

I don't want to look at other people my age in leather. Why would I put it on?

George Michael

The stabbing horror of life is not contained in calamities and disasters, because these things wake one up and one gets very familiar and intimate with them and finally they become tame again. No, it is more like being in a hotel room in Hoboken let us say, and just enough money in one's pocket for another meal.

Henry Miller

Don't foul, don't flinch. Hit the line hard.

Theodore Roosevelt

Perhaps a lunatic was simply a minority of one. At one time it had been a sign of madness to believe that the Earth goes round the Sun; today, to believe the past is inalterable. He might be alone in holding that belief, and if alone, then a lunatic. But the thought of being a lunatic did not greatly trouble him; the horror was that he might also be wrong.

George Orwell

Be curious, learn and read as much as you can about food. Don't worry about making money. Focus on learning at various venues before you settle down for a steady position.

Rocco DiSpirito

Is it to be thought unreasonable that the people, in atonement for wrongs of a century, demand the vengeance of a single day?

Maximilien Robespierre

You know, it was only a generation ago that actors couldn't be buried in the churchyard.

Ronald Reagan

I just feel energized when I am around young, talented people. There is something about these kids that's amazing. I learn as much from them as they do from me.

Sally Struthers

An empty head is not really empty; it is stuffed with rubbish. Hence the difficulty of forcing anything into an empty head.

Eric Hoffer

Hamlet Do you see yonder cloud that's almost in shape of a camel Polonius By the mass, and 'tis like a camel, indeed. Hamlet Methinks it is like a weasel. Polonius It is backed like a weasel. Hamlet Or like a whale Polonius Very like a whale.

William Shakespeare

We need to dig deep and give people a reason to be optimistic just as Obama is doing in America. Because in the same way that outcome of the U.S. elections will change the course of events there and around the world, so too do politics here in Britain.

Lucy Powell

It is always the false that makes you suffer, the false desires and fears, the false values and ideas, the false relationships between people. Abandon the false and you are free of pain; truth makes happy, truth liberates.
