Don't ever, ever, believe anyone who tells you that you can just get by, by doing the easiest thing possible. Because there's always somebody behind you who really wants to do what you're doing. And they're going to work harder than you if you're not working hard.

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

Michel de Montaigne

Soft eyes look'd love to eyes which spake again, And all went merry as a marriage bell.

Lord Byron

Going into politics is something people have asked me about forever.

Caroline Kennedy

The bitterest tears shed over graves are for words left unsaid and deeds left undone.

Harriet Beecher Stowe

If your knees aren't green by the end of the day, you ought to seriously re-examine your life.

Bill Watterson

Anyone who knows history, particularly the history of Europe, will, I think, recognize that the domination of education or of government by any one particular religious faith is never a happy arrangement for the people.

Eleanor Roosevelt

Staring at my outstretched pinky questioningly his perfect lips twitched into a smile. Pinky promise?

Natalie Valdes

I think poetry is best read to oneself.

Rickie Lee Jones

I am most anxious that in dealing with matters which every Member knows are extremely delicate matters, I should not use any phrase or expression which would cause offence to our friends and Allies on the Continent or across the Atlantic Ocean.

Sir Winston Churchill

Follow your bliss.

Joseph Campbell

In the last few decades entire new categories of waste have come to plague and menace the American scene. Pollution is growing at a rapid rate. Pollution destroys beauty and menaces health. It cuts down on efficiency, reduces property values and raises taxes. Almost all these wastes and pollutions are the result of activities carried on for the benefit of man. A prime national goal must be an environment that is pleasing to the senses and healthy to live in. Our Government is already doing much in this field. We have made significant progress. But more must be done.

Lyndon B. Johnson

It doesn't matter about money having it, not having it. Or having clothes, or not having them. You're still left alone with yourself in the end.

Billy Idol
