There is no calamity which a great nation can invite which equals that which follows a supine submission to wrong and injustice and the consequent loss of national self-respect and honor, beneath which are shielded and defended a people's safety and greatness.

Respectable means rich, and decent means poor. I should die if I heard my family called decent.

Thomas Mann

For me, I am left leaning when it comes to health and education, on the right when it comes to defense. So I don't know where I come on the political spectrum. And I think this the challenge that a lot of Jordanians have to deal with.

King Abdullah II

When I make art, I think about its ability to connect with others, to bring them into the process.

Jim Hodges

And what makes me happy now has changed as well... Its one thing to play in a bar or at a biker festival, and hear a guy who's been drinking beer all day come up and tell you how good you are. For a long time in your life that will make you happy.

Rick Derringer

Every existing thing is born without reason, prolongs itself out of weakness, and dies by chance.

JeanPaul Sartre

When government disappears, it's not as if paradise will take its place. When governments are gone, other interests will take their place.

Lawrence Lessig

When you have kids, you just love them. It's similar to when you're in love with someone. You just think they are so cool and want to be around them all the time, but what if she starts being embarrassed and only giving me charity visits? I want her to actually want to see me, so that's what I'm going for!

Jeremy Sisto

Property is the fruit of labor; property is desirable; it is a positive good in the world.

Abraham Lincoln

For many my behavior has been a major disappointment, my behavior has caused considerable worry to my business partners, and everyone involved in my business, but most importantly to the young people we influence, I apologize.

Tiger Woods

Past and future exist only in our memory. The present moment, though, is outside of time, it's Eternity. In India, they use the word 'karma,' for lack of any better term.

Paulo Coelho

Talents are best nurtured in solitude, but character is best formed in the stormy billows of the world

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

You should not say it is not good. You should say you do not like it; and then, you know, you're perfectly safe.

James Mcneill Whistler
