Sometimes I miss out the morning's painting session and instead study my Japanese books in the open.

William Law

If you pursue happiness you never find it.

C.P. (Charles Percy) Snow

America is a land where men govern, but women rule.

John Mason Brown

Republics abound in young civilians who believe that the laws make the city, that grave modifications of the policy and modes of living and employments of the population, that commerce, education and religion may be voted in or out; and that any measure, though it were absurd, may be imposed on a people if only you can get sufficient voices to make it a law. But the wise know that foolish legislation is a rope of sand which perishes in the twisting; that the State must follow and not lead the character and progress of the citizen; that the form of government which prevails is the expression of what cultivation exists in the population which permits it. The law is only a memorandum.

Ralph Waldo Emerson

The best ballplayer's the one who doesn't think he made good. He keeps trying to convince you.

Ronald Reagan

I don't want to clip on the armour every morning. I've seen some politicians do this and they get a bit mangled and bitter. I just refuse to do that. I refuse to be angry or bitter or complain, and I remain open. I may sometimes be a bit too open but I'm not going to change that one bit.

Nick Clegg

I love coming home to somebody, I love being in a relationship.

Daniel Radcliffe

If you believed more in life you would fling yourself less to the moment.
