You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure about you. We were born to manifest the glory of God that is within us.

As for everything else, so for a mathematical theory: beauty can be perceived but not explained.

Arthur Cayley

I just feel like if I do good work, then people should respect me for the work I do.

Scott Caan

I don't think I would describe my sense of humor. Doesn't sound like the kind of thing I'd do.

Tommy Lee Jones

You cannot be friends upon any other terms than upon the terms of equality.

Woodrow Wilson

No two men see the world exactly alike, and different temperaments will apply in different ways a principle that they both acknowledge. The same man will, indeed, often see and judge the same things differently on different occasions: early convictions must give way to more mature ones. Nevertheless, may not the opinions that a man holds and expresses withstand all trials, if he only remains true to himself and others?

Johann von Goethe

America beats on you so hard the whole time. You are constantly being pummeled by other people's rights and their sense of patriotism.

Richard Ford

Clearly, some creative thinking is badly needed if humans are to have a future beyond Earth. Returning to the Moon may be worthy and attainable, but it fails to capture the public's imagination. What does get people excited is the prospect of a mission to Mars.

Paul Davies

God, that checkroom of our dreams.

Jean Rostand

I was a-trembling, because I'd got to decide, forever, betwixt two things, and I knowed it. I studied a minute, sort of holding my breath, and then says to myself, All right, then, I'll GO to hell.

Mark Twain

I like to know exactly what's being put into my food.

Lauren Conrad

The crowd gives the leader new strength

Evenus

It is a short walk from the hallelujah to the hoot.

Vladimir Nabokov
