If I had to choose between betraying my country and betraying my friend, I hope I should have the guts to betray my country.

I know not why any one but a schoolboy in his declamation should whine over the Commonwealth of Rome, which grew great only by the misery of the rest of mankind. The Romans, like others, as soon as they grew rich, grew corrupt; and in their corruption sold the lives and freedoms of themselves, and of one another.

Samuel Johnson

I like to dedicate myself wholeheartedly to a cause so that I have more impact. My goal is to shed light on the beauty of the ocean and how important it is for our planet.

Hayden Panettiere

It is a sign of the times that the absence of meaningful ID requirements in many states leaves our voting process vulnerable to fraud and allows legal votes to be cancelled out by illegally cast ballots.

Virgil Goode

Uzmi osmeh idaruj ga onome ko ga nikad nije imao.Uzmi zrak sunca iu?ini da odleti tamo gde vlada no?.Otkrij izvor iokupaj onoga ko živi u blatu.Uzmi suzu ipoloži je na lice onoga ko nikad nije plakao.Uzmi hrabrost istavi je u dušu onoga ko se ne sme boriti.Otkrij život ipripovedaj o njemu onome ko ga ne može shvatiti.Uzmi nadu iživi u njenoj svetlosti.Uzmi dobrotu idaruj je onome ko ne zna darivati.Otkrij ljubav ipokaži je ?itavom svetu.

Mahatma Gandhi

Willie Shoemaker

They can't tell so much about you if you got your eyes closed.

Ken Kesey

All truth passes through three stages. First, it is ridiculed. Second, it is violently opposed. Third, it is accepted as being self-evident.

Arthur Schopenhauer

A few years ago it dawned on me that everybody past a certain age ... pretty much constantly dreams of being able to escape from their lives. They don't want to be who they are any more. They want out. This list includes Thurston Howell the Third, Ann-Margret, the cat members of Rent, Václav Havel, space shuttle astronauts and Snuffleupagus. It's universal.

Douglas Coupland

Sometimes, if she simply remained quiet, and let the inadequacy of his excuses reverberate on the air, he became ashamed and backtracked.

J.K. Rowling

I get whatever placidity I have from my father. But my mother taught me how to take it on the chin.

Norma Shearer

Desperation is the perfume of the young actor. It's so satisfying to have gotten rid of it. If you keep smelling it, it can drive you crazy. In this business a lot of people go nuts, go eccentric, even end up dead from it. Not my plan.

Uma Thurman
