It's better to be a lion for a day, than a sheep all your life.

Providing for one's family as a good husband and father is a water-tight excuse for making money hand over fist. Greed may be a sin, exploitation of other people might, on the face of it, look rather nasty, but who can blame a man for doing the best for his children?

Eva Figes

When war comes, two things happen - profits go way, way up and all perishables go way, way down. There becomes a market for them.

Steven Spielberg

Infuse your life with action. Don't wait for it to happen. Make it happen. Make your own future. Make your own hope. Make your own love. And whatever your beliefs, honor your creator, not by passively waiting for grace to come down from upon high, but by doing what you can to make grace happen... yourself, right now, right down here on Earth.

Bradley Whitford

I'm not a drug addict. My wild period wasn't about drugs it was about sexual freedom.

Calvin Klein

He is great enough that is his own master.

Joseph Hall

Poetry is as precise a thing as geometry.

Gustave Flaubert

A third heir seldom enjoys what has been dishonestly acquired.

Juvenal

I normally don't eat junk food.

Martin Yan

People are usually more convinced by reasons they discovered themselves than by those found by others.

Blaise Pascal

We have to distrust each other. It is our only defense against betrayal.

Tennessee (Thomas Lanier) Willia

The psychological condition of fear is divorced from any concrete and true immediate danger. It comes in many forms: unease, worry, anxiety, nervousness, tension, dread, phobia, and so on. This kind of psychological fear is always of something that might happen, not of something that is happening now.

Eckhart Tolle, The Power of Now

Good counsel rejected returns to enrich the givers bosom.

Oliver Goldsmith
