I come from a Christian faith. I am not going to give you insight into my particular beliefs.

We learn the inner secret of happiness when we learn to direct our inner drives, our interest and our attention to something besides ourselves.

Ethel Percy Andrus

Unlike Elise, who could discover parts of a person they didn't even know were absent, you specialized in tangible, but that, I feared, was only a matter of time.

Jodi Picoult

Right now, my job is that I'm like an ambulance chaser. I've got to look for movies with white guys falling out of them.

Chris Rock

The truth of our faith becomes a matter of ridicule among the infidels if any Catholic, not gifted with the necessary scientific learning, presents as dogma what scientific scrutiny shows to be false.

Thomas Aquinas

The entire essence of America is the hope to first make money -- then make money with money -- then make lots of money with lots of money.

Paul Erdman

On the whole, lying is a cheerful affair. Embellishments are intended to give pleasure. People long to tell you what they imagine you want to hear. They want to amuse you; they want to amuse themselves; they want to show you a good time. This is beyond hospitality. This is art.

Isabel Fonseca

Know thyself. A maxim as pernicious as it is ugly. Whoever studies himself arrest his own development. A caterpillar who seeks to know himself would never become a butterfly.

Andre Gide

The golden age only comes to men when they have forgotten gold.

G. K. Chesterton

Quit thinking that you must halt before the barrier of inner negativity. You need not. You can crash through whatever we see a negative state, that is where we can destroy it.

Vernon Howard

My mom was a seamstress, and I wish I'd learned to sew because I'm obsessed with 'Project Runway!'

Carmen Electra

Great living starts with a picture held in the imagination, of what you would like to do or be.
