As a child my family's menu consisted of two choices: take it or leave it.

Life may not be beautiful, but it is interesting.

Sir John Robert Seeley

When one cannot appraise out of one's own experience, the temptation to blunder is minimized, but even when one can, appraisal seems chiefly useful as appraisal of the appraiser.

Marianne Moore

The global economic outlook remains fragile and uncertain. Global economic imbalances persist and we must address them or risk future instability.

Julia Gillard

Regardless of age, regardless of position, regardless of the business we happen to be in, all of us need to understand the importance of branding. We are CEOs of our own companies: Me, Inc. To be in business today, our most important job is to be head marketer for the brand called You.

Tom Peters

Wasn't that the point of the book? For women to realize, We are just two people. Not that much separates us. Not nearly as much as I'd thought.

Kathryn Stockett

Women are not the richer sex. Women are not equal in society.

Erica Jong

I fear those big words which make us so unhappy.

James Joyce

For whatever is truly wondrous and fearful in man, never yet was put into words or books.

Herman Melville

Within our culture, every school has a swimming pool. We lived on the coast. People swam in the surf. It's a very sporty nation and at that particular time anyone who had an artistic bent was very much an outsider. So if you liked reading or ideas or playing the piano then your dad viewed you as a sissy, basically.

Geoffrey Rush

The maxim of buying nothing without the money in our pocket to pay for it, would make of our country one of the happiest upon earth. Experience during the war proved this; as I think every man will remember that under all the privations it obliged him to submit to during that period he slept sounder, and awaked happier than he can do now. Desperate of finding relief from a free course of justice, I look forward to the abolition of all credit as the only other remedy which can take place.

Thomas Jefferson

The universal Mind contains all knowledge. It is the potential ultimate of all things. To it, all things are possible.

Ernest Holmes

We're on a mission from Glod.

Terry Pratchett
