It is better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to speak up and remove all doubt.

When I first started working in politics, as a junior aide on Walter Mondale's 1984 presidential campaign, it never occurred to me that I would one day work in the White House. There were plenty of women among the volunteers who stuffed envelopes and walked precincts. But there were fewer and fewer on each successive level of influence and access.

Joys are our wings, sorrows our spurs.

Jean Paul

He who hath many friends hath none.

Aristotle

The period of earthly life in your greater existence is similar to the 15 minutes of fame you get down here...Everyone gets to share you in a different way. And both are dreams.

Julian Casablancas

In your hands or that of any other person, so much power would, no doubt, be dangerous. I am the only man in the world whom it would be safe to trust with it. Remember, I am a prophet!

Joseph Smith, Jr.

My job is never work -- the only time it seems like work is when I'd rather be doing something else.

Making checklists of things you're looking for in a person is the numero uno thing you can do to guarantee you'll be alone forever.

Joseph Gordon-Levitt

Life was always a matter of waiting for the right moment to act.

Paulo Coelho

You can't cheat kids. If you cheat them when they're children they'll make you pay when they're sixteen or seventeen by revolting against you or hating you or all those so-called teenage problems. I think that's finally when they're old enough to stand up to you and say, 'What a hypocrite you've been all this time. You've never given me what I really wanted, which is you'.

John Lennon

A lot of the fun lies in trying to penetrate the mystery and this is best done by saying over the lines to yourself again and again, till they pass through the stage of sounding like nonsense, and finally return to a full sense that had at first escaped notice.

Anthony Hecht

The priests say that God created our souls, and that just puts us under the control of another puppeteer. If God created our will, then he's responsible for every choice we make.

Orson Scott Card

Is not wisdom found among the aged? Does not long life bring understanding? (Job 12:12)
