Those who were cowards never started, and those who were weak were lost on the way, but the brave find a home in every land.

In the spring, at the end of the day, you should smell like dirt.

Margaret Atwood

The press today is an army with carefully organized weapons, the journalists its officers, the readers its soldiers. But, as in every army, the soldier obeys blindly, and the war aims and operating plans change without his knowledge. The reader neither knows nor is supposed to know the purposes for which he is used and the role he is to play. There is no more appalling caricature of freedom of thought. Formerly no one was allowed to think freely; now it is permitted, but no one is capable of it any more. Now people want to think only what they are supposed to want to think, and this they consider freedom.

Oswald Spengler

No wonder the film industry started in the desert in California where, like all desert dwellers, they dream their buildings, rather than design them.

Arthur Erickson

Those who scorn you taunt only themselves -- I knew this without reading one word; because in reading one is reminded of the truth man is given at birth -- by man I mean man and woman.

David Adams Richards

They say a person needs just three things to be truly happy in this world. Someone to love, something to do, and something to hope for.

Allan K. Chalmers

Life is short and if you're looking for extension, you had best do well. 'Cause there's good deeds and then there's good intentions. They are as far apart as Heaven and Hell.

Ben Harper

If you're never scared or embarrassed or hurt, it means you never take any chances.

Julia Sorel

The man with toothache thinks everyone happy whose teeth are sound.The poverty stricken man makes the same mistake about the rich man.

George Bernard Shaw

There is only one thing for us to do, and that is to do our level best right where we are every day of our lives; To use our best judgment, and then to trust the rest to that Power which holds the forces of the universe in his hands.

Orison Swett Marden

Die Welt ist voller Torheit, Dumpfheit, Inkonsequenz und Ungerechtigkeit. Es gehört viel Mut dazu, diesen nicht das Feld zu räumen.

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

The beautiful spring came and when Nature resumes her loveliness, the human soul is apt to revive also.

Harriet Ann Jacobs

A lie can travel half way around the world while the truth is putting on its shoes.

Charles Spurgeon
