To me a book is a message from the gods to mankind; or, if not, should never be published at all. A message from the gods should be delivered at once. It is damnably blasphemous to talk about the autumn season and so on. How dare the author or publisher demand a price for doing his duty, the highest and most honorable to which a man can be called?

The architecture of our future is not only unfinished the scaffolding has hardly gone up.

George Lamming

It is not enough to be busy the question is what are we busy about

Henry David Thoreau

Acquaintance. A person whom we know well enough to borrow from, but not well enough to lend to.

Ambrose Bierce

Great athletes train their minds as well as their bodies. There are various mental conditioning techniques many use when preparing for an event. Perhaps the best known technique is visualization, creating a mental image not only of the desired result (the gold medal, a new world record, a hole-in-one), but also of every move that will be taken en route to the ultimate goal.

Marriage is a bribe to make the housekeeper think she's a householder.

Thornton Wilder

Example is leadership.

Albert Schweitzer

The best way out is always through.

Helen Keller

A man willing to work, and unable to find work, is perhaps the saddest sight that fortune's inequality exhibits under this sun.

Thomas Carlyle

It wasn't like I was self-motivated. My dad started me. It was his dream before it was mine.

Venus Williams

Move on, sky is not limit, wind can touch you, water can dip you, mother will care you, wife will nurture you and above all, oneday you will see your child following, up above the sky; you became a star, twinkling, watching and waiting to come back again, on earth.

Santosh Kalwar

I would eat healthy at times and pig out at times. But I never had to go on a strict diet plan.

Tori Spelling

Heaven lies about us in our infancy and the world begins lying about us pretty soon afterward.

Ambrose Bierce
