A deception that elevates us is dearer than a host of low truths.

Do not just look at your boyfriend as just a boyfriend. Look at him as a friend, too.

Vanessa Hudgens

A merchant who approaches business with the idea of serving the public well has nothing to fear from the competition.

James Cash Penney

Go into the street, and give one man a lecture on morality, and another a shilling, and see which will respect you most.

Samuel Johnson

In my lifetime, I've discovered a great many incredibly talented individuals. Some have achieved stardom. Simultaneously, I've seen many dreams shattered, egos destroyed and lives changed forever. The end destination may well be fame and fortune, but the road to stardom is littered with broken hearts.

Nigel Lythgoe

I would really love to work with Paul McCartney. Isn't that arrogant?

Tina Weymouth

Not managing your time and making excuses are two bad habits. Don't put them both together by claiming you 'don't have the time'.

Bo Bennett

I confess myself utterly at a loss in suggesting particular reforms in our ways of teaching. No discretion that can be lodged with a school-committee, with the overseers or visitors of an academy, of a college, can at all avail to reach these difficulties and perplexities, but they solve themselves when we leave institutions and address individuals.

Ralph Waldo Emerson

Without television and mass communication, that knowledge wouldn't exist. So I think it actually has the possibility of turning people into more understanding and more empathetic people.

John Warnock

Since the fall of the Berlin Wall in 1989, historians have become both more accurate and more honest fractionally more brave, one might say about that 'other' cleansing of the regions and peoples that were ground to atoms between the upper and nether millstones of Hitlerism and Stalinism. One of the most objective chroniclers is Professor Timothy Snyder of Yale University. In his view, it is still 'Operation Reinhardt,' or the planned destruction of Polish Jewry, that is to be considered as the centerpiece of what we commonly call the Holocaust, in which of the estimated 5.7 million Jewish dead, 'roughly three million were prewar Polish citizens.' We should not at all allow ourselves to forget the millions of non-Jewish citizens of Belarus, Russia, Ukraine, and other Slav territories who were also massacred. But for me the salient fact remains that anti-Semitism was the regnant, essential, organizing principle of all the other National Socialist race theories. It is thus not to be thought of as just one prejudice among many.

Christopher Hitchens

Elegance isn't solely defined by what you wear. It's how you carry yourself, how you speak, what you read.

Carolina Herrera

Any sufficiently advanced bug is indistinguishable from a feature.

Rich Kulawiec

I hope to focus on what I'm passionate about because I think I'd do them best job on them - education, urban education, women and children's issues and literacy.
