Diligence is the mother of luck.

Some people are making such thorough plans for rainy days that they aren't enjoying today's sunshine.

William Feather

Victims always feel alone and helpless.

Deepak Chopra

I am a fashion person, and fashion is not only about clothes -- it's about all kinds of change

Karl Lagerfeld

I hope America can also be the cultural leader of the world, and use this frontier spirit to lead and show others that we need courage to go places where we have not gone before.

Tadao Ando

I do love to eavesdrop. It's inspirational, not only for subject matter but for actual dialogue, the way people talk.

Lynda Barry

Tomorrow we shall meet, Death and I -.And he shall thrust his swordInto one who is wide awake.

Dag Hammarskjold, Markings, p. 3

Like most citizens of popular and international urban centres, I don't take advantage of the cultural opportunities. Perhaps this comes from growing up in suburbia. Home is where you eat, sleep, read, watch television and ignore your parents. It is not where you go to the ballet and then attend a heated panel discussion about it afterwards.

Sloane Crosley

Shearer could be at 100 per cent fitness, but not peak fitness.

Graham Taylor

The golden rule of business is supply and demand. I venture to say that this is also the rule of happiness. When a balance is achieved between our desires and another's willingness to satisfy them, the result is a sympathetic, mutually rewarding relationship. (...) a thriving economy of love.' - character Mike Lambeth

Caroline Adderson

The work of an intellectual is not to mould the political will of others; it is, through the analyses that he does in his own field, to re-examine evidence and assumptions, to shake up habitual ways of working and thinking, to dissipate conventional familiarities, to re-evaluate rules and institutions and to participate in the formation of a political will (where he has his role as citizen to play).

Michel Foucault

It takes courage to love, but pain through love is the purifying fire which those who love generously know. We all know people who are so much afraid of pain that they shut themselves up like clams in a shell and, giving out nothing, receive nothing and therefore shrink until life is a mere living death.

Eleanor Roosevelt

When you are enthusiastic about what you do, you feel this positive energy. It's very simple.

Paulo Coelho
