Determination that just won't quit -- that's what it takes.

The ways by which you may get money almost without exception lead downward. - from Live Without Principle

Henry David Thoreau

Writers like teeth are divided into incisors and grinders.

Walter Bagehot

All the critics who could not make their reputations by discovering you are hoping to make them by predicting hopefully your approaching impotence, failure and general drying up of natural juices. Not a one will wish you luck or hope that you will keep on writing unless you have political affiliations in which case these will rally around and speak of you and Homer, Balzac, Zola and Link Steffens.

Ernest Hemingway

The fight, this war, this fight against the remnants of terrorism will go on for some time.

Hamid Karzai

Eating words has never given me indigestion.

Sir Winston Churchill

Peace cannot be kept by force. It can only be achieved by understanding. You cannot subjugate a nation forcibly unless you wipe out every man, woman, and child. Unless you wish to use such drastic measures, you must find a way of settling your disputes without resort to arms.

Albert Einstein

At seventy-seven it is time to be in earnest.

Samuel Johnson

I do not care so much what I am to others as I care what I am to myself.

Michel de Montaigne

I started dieting. I dieted, dieted, dieted and tried all the diets and I would lose and then I would go back to normal eating and would put it on and then some.

Suzanne Somers

You can't censor people's dreams.

Robyn Hitchcock

The United States is just now the oldest country in the world, there always is an oldest country and she is it, it is she who is the mother of the twentieth century civilization. She began to feel herself as it just after the Civil War. And so it is a country the right age to have been born in and the wrong age to live in.

Gertrude Stein

I find that I am most happy and healthy when I am living in alignment with my goals, dreams, and principles.
