To bring up a child in the way he should go, travel that way yourself once in a while.

Josh Billings

Face reality as it is, not as it was or as you wish it to be.

Jack Welch

Pierre Elliott Trudeau

When people put their ballots in the boxes, they are, by that act, inoculated against the feeling that the government is not theirs.

It's a remarkably shrewd and rather conservative arrangement when one thinks of it.

John Kenneth Galbraith

I'm shopping around for something to do that no one will like.

Jerry Garcia

If the director says you can do better, particularly in a love scene, then it is rather embarrassing.

Julie Andrews

The child is the father of the man.

William Wordsworth

Ludwig Mies van der Rohe

Good food and a warm kitchen are what makes a house a home. I always tried to make my home like my mother's, because Mom was magnificent at stretching a buck when it came to decorating and food. Like a true Italian, she valued beautification in every area of her life, and I try to do the same.

Rachael Ray

James Baldwin
