Dependence begets subservience and venality, suffocates the germ of virtue, and prepares fit tools for the designs of ambition.

You can make a difference.

John Walsh

I like my philosophy smothered in beauty and not the opposite.

Wallace Stevens

You can't win with some people. If you're not in government, you're criticised for being not serious. If you are in government, you're criticised for wanting power. That's the Labour party's line of attack, and it's a bit ridiculous.

Vince Cable

I'm really glad that your young people missed the Depression I'm really glad that your young people missed the Depression and missed the big war. But I do regret that they missed the leaders that I knew, leaders who told us when things were tough and that we'd have to sacrifice, and that these difficulties might last awhile. They brought us together and they gave us a sense of national purpose.

Knightley Academy stood out against the moonlight in silhouette, a ramshackle collection of chimneys, turrets and gables. Both boys stopped to take in the sight of the manicured lawns and tangled woods, the soaring chapel and the ivy-covered brick of the headmaster's house. They were home.

Learning how to learn is life's most important skill.

Tony Buzan

Unlimited power is apt to corrupt the minds of those who posses it and this I know, my lords: that where law ends, tyranny begins.

William Pitt

Live daringly, boldly, fearlessly. Taste the relish to be found in competition -- in having put forth the best within you

Henry J. Kaiser

Obviously, I've been on sets before but nothing as big as 'Twilight.' You forget sometimes that you're on set of one of the biggest movies ever- so when you just sit back and think about it its just so incredible. It's such a great learning experience.

Booboo Stewart

Food is a passion. Food is love.

Hector Elizondo

I got tackled once in a movie theater. I was with my mom and brother, and then suddenly I got hit from behind and sort of sprawled out on the candy counter.

Scott Wolf

For a long time many believed that there would be an automatic adjustment and counted on a rapid increase in the wages of the emerging nations, on our advances in technology and the costs of transport preventing disruption. But this reassuring analysis is out of date.
