A civilized society is one which tolerates eccentricity to the point of doubtful sanity.

If the pace and the push, the noise and the crowds are getting to you, it's time to stop the nonsense and find a place of solace to refresh your spirit.

Charles Swindoll

Baseball is drama with an endless run and an ever-changing cast.

Joe Garagiola

The beginning of wisdom is to desire it.

Ibn Gabirol

I always knew the importance of it, since I was three or four years old my mother used to feed me wine and water. I grew up with wine as liquid food.

Robert Mondavi

The whole idea of revenge and punishment is a childish day-dream. Properly speaking, there is no such thing as revenge. Revenge is an act which you want to commit when you are powerless and because you are powerless: as soon as the sense of impotence is removed, the desire evaporates also.

George Orwell

I'm afraid of losing my obscurity. Genuineness only thrives in the dark. Like celery.

Aldous Huxley, Miss Thriplow, in

A bore or an uggo might manage not to get up anyone's nose, but if a girl's got brains and looks and personality, she's going to piss someone off, somewhere along the way.

Tana French

But the leaders of the OIC could not even accept Mahathir's proposal, yet they talk about respect and honour.

Abu Bakar Bashir

The more I saw of foreign countries the more I loved my own.

De Delloy

The end we aim at must be known, before the way can be made.

Jean Paul

To me, the definition of focus is knowing exactly where you want to be today, next week, next month, next year, then never deviating from your plan. Once you can see, touch and feel your objective, all you have to do is pull back and put all your strength behind it, and you'll hit your target every time.

Bruce Jenner

Choose silence of all virtues, for by it you hear other men's imperfections, and conceal your own.

George Bernard Shaw
