If you deliberately set out to be less than you are capable, you'll be unhappy for the rest of your life.

Thomas S. Monson

Even when we do not actively participate in our destiny, we are still on a chosen path. Life has a way of making decisions for us.

Nina Guilbeau

Death and taxes and childbirth! There's never any convenient time for any of them!

Margaret Mitchell

Jodi Picoult

Dreams are today's answers to tomorrow's questions.

Edgar Cayce

It's not a question of happiness, it's a requirement. Consider the alternative.

Doug Horton

There are many victories worse than a defeat.

George Eliot

Ezra Miller

I don't think I would describe my sense of humor. Doesn't sound like the kind of thing I'd do.

Tommy Lee Jones

The artist is not responsible to any one. His social role is asocial... his only responsibility consists in an attitude to the work he does.

Georg Baselitz

Don't threaten me with love, baby. Let's just go walking in the rain.

Billie Holiday
