Do not consider Collectivists as sincere but deluded idealists. The proposal to enslave some men for the sake of others is not an ideal; brutality is not idealistic, no matter what its purpose. Do not ever say that the desire to do good by force is a good motive. Neither power-lust nor stupidity are good motives.

I turn a lot of stuff down - big, big movies, the kind I wouldn't want to go to the cinema to see.

Matthew Fox

One may smile, and smile, and be a villain.

William Shakespeare

Most people never feel secure because they are always worried that they will lose their job, lose the money they already have, lose their spouse, lose their health, and so on. The only true security in life comes from knowing that every single day you are improving yourself in some way, that you are increasing the caliber of who you are and that you are valuable to your company, your friends, and your family.

Anthony Robbins

When you're in a slump, it's almost as if you look out at the field and it's one big glove.

Vance Law

Anybody who would like to travel as an archaeologist of mores and observe men instead of rocks could find an image of the century of Louis XV in some village in Provence, that of Louis XIV in Poitou, that of even more remote times in the far reaches of Brittany. Most of these cities have fallen from some splendor that historians, more preoccupied with dates than customs, no longer speak of, but whose memory lives on, such as in Brittany, where the national character scarcely accepts the forgetting of what this country is fundamentally about. . . All of these cities have their primitive character.

Honore de Balzac, B

For lust of knowing what should not be known, we take the Golden Road to Samarkand.

James Elroy Flecker

Mathematics is the queen of sciences and arithmetic is the queen of mathematics

Carl Friedrich Gauss

Every singly lifetime, I'll choose you. Just as you have chosen me. Forever.

Lauren Kate

If a man works like a horse for his money, there are a lot of girls anxious to take him down the bridal path.

Marty Allen

Well, I'll put it this way: you can certainly say belief in God makes people behave worse. That can be proved beyond a doubt.

Christopher Hitchens

The ideal has many names, and beauty is but one of them.

Ninon De L'Enclos

Everyone ought to bear patiently the results of his own conduct.

William Shakespeare
