Daily life is governed by an economic system in which the production and consumption of insults tends to balance out.

I race historic muscle cars back in Australia, and that's my hobby. And I try to race home as soon as I've finished a movie but don't tell anyone.

Eric Bana

There are similarities between business and sport, in the pressures involved and in the fitness aspect too.

Peter Shilton

It all depends on whether you have things, or they have you.

Robert A. Cook

Employ your time in improving yourself by other men's writings so that you shall come easily by what others have labored hard for.

Socrates

Fame is like a shaved pig with a greased tail, and it is only after it has slipped through the hands of some thousands, that some fellow, by mere chance, holds on to it!

Davy Crockett

Like the Nazis, the cadres of jihad have a death wish that sets the seal on their nihilism. The goal of a world run by an oligarchy in possession of Teutonic genes, who may kill or enslave other 'races' according to need, is not more unrealizable than the idea that a single state, let alone the globe itself, could be governed according to the dictates of an allegedly holy book. This mad scheme begins by denying itself the talents (and the rights) of half the population, views with superstitious horror the charging of interest, and invokes the right of Muslims to subject nonbelievers to special taxes and confiscations. Not even Afghanistan or Somalia, scenes of the furthest advances yet made by pro-caliphate forces, could be governed for long in this way without setting new standards for beggary and decline.

Christopher Hitchens

Your whole life should be lived as a heroic deed.

Leo Tolstoy

Mathematics are well and good but nature keeps dragging us around by the nose.

Albert Einstein

What you do is more important than how much you make, and how you feel about it is more important than what you do.

Jerry Gillies

The shoe that fits one person pinches another; there is no recipe for living that suits all cases.

Carl Jung

Misfortunes do not flourish on one path, they grow everywhere.

American Indian Proverb, Pawnee

I suppose that Paderewski can play superbly, if not quite at his best, while his thoughts wander to the other end of the world, or possibly busy themselves with a computation of the receipts as he gazes out across the auditorium. I know a great actor, a master technician, can let his thoughts play truant from the scene...
