He is born in vain, who having attained the human birth, so difficult to get, does not attempt to realise God in this very life

A wise woman puts a grain of sugar into everything she says to a man, and takes a grain of salt with everything he says to her.

Helen Rowland

You've got to be in top physical condition. Fatigue makes cowards of us all.

Vince Lombardi

We had the experience but missed the meaning. And approach to the meaning restores the experience in a different form.

T.S. Eliot

When I was at drama school, I wanted to change the world, and thought I had some great wisdom to impart to people about humanity. Now that I'm older, I know enough to realise that I know nothing at all.

I think women have an innate ability to be intuitive with people that they truly love, but they have to trust that inner voice, and I think it is there. I think we are more intuitive than men.

Andie MacDowell

I believe that you’re great, that there’s something magnificent about you. Regardless of what has happened to you in your life, regardless of how young or how old you think you might be, the moment you begin to think properly, this something that is within you, this power within you that’s greater than the world, it will begin to emerge. It will take over your life. It will feed you, it will clothe you, it will guide you, protect you, direct you, sustain your very existence. If you let it! Now that is what I know, for sure.

Michael Bernard Beckwith

Isadora Duncan, My Life, ch. 5,

I'm kind of a dork. I don't have much game. I'm not particularly comfortable in bars or clubs. I much prefer being home playing Scrabble, having dinner with a couple friends, going to see a movie, or losing a whole weekend to Season 14 of Law and Order or The Simpsons.

Wentworth Miller

You can't have any successes unless you can accept failure.

George Cukor

By virtue of being born to humanity, every human being has a right to the development and fulfillment of his potentialities as a human being.

Ashley Montagu
