The blues was like that problem child that you may have had in the family. You was a little bit ashamed to let anybody see him, but you loved him. You just didn't know how other people would take it.

My programming language was solder.

Terry Pratchett

When you are full of pride on the inside, it makes you stiff, stubborn, and creates strife with others.

John C. Maxwell

I was the Chair of the first department of medical physics in a medical school in the U.S.

John Cameron

I'm not really one of those people who believes that if you're a musician you can just leave that behind and start getting into politics.

Damon Albarn

My books are water; those of the great geniuses are wine -- everybody drinks water.

Mark Twain

The law is sic a ass - a idiot.

Charles Dickens, Oliver Twist

Show class, have pride, and display character. If you do, winning takes care of itself.

Bear Bryant

Ninety per cent of the world's woe comes from people not knowing themselves, their abilities, their frailties, and even their real virtues. Most of us go almost all the way through life as complete strangers to ourselves - so how can we know anyone else?

Sydney J. Harris

Truth in all its kinds is most difficult to win; and truth in medicine is the most difficult of all.

Peter Mere Latham

Conservatives, who have presumed that the key to preventing AIDS is abstinence-only education, and liberals, who have focused on distribution of condoms, should both note that the intervention that has tested most cost-effective in Africa is neither... Secular bleeding hearts and religious bleeding hearts will have to forge a common cause.

Nicholas D. Kristof

From the standpoint of observation, then, we must regard it as a highly probable hypothesis that the beginnings of the mental life date from as far back as the beginnings of life at large.

Wilhelm Wundt

I don't do what I'm doing to fight terror. ... I do it because I care about kids. Fighting terror is maybe seventh or eighth on my list of priorities. But working over there, I've learned a few things. I've learned that terror doesn't happen because some group of people somewhere like Pakistan or Afghanistan simply decide to hate us. It happens because children aren't being offered a bright enough future that they have a reason to choose life over death.
