I don't have a long family history of good cooks in my family.

Mankind which began in a cave and behind a windbreak will end in the disease-soaked ruins of a slum.

H. G. [Herbert George] Wells

Amber Heard

You have to master not only the art of listening to your head, you must also master listening to your heart and listening to your gut.

Carly Fiorina

It would seem that Our Lord finds our desires not too strong, but too weak. We are half-hearted creatures, fooling about with drink and sex and ambition when infinite joy is offered us, like an ignorant child who wants to go on making mud pies in a slum because he cannot imagine what is meant by the offer of a holiday at the sea. We are far too easily pleased.

C.S. Lewis

People who insist on telling their dreams are among the terrors of the breakfast table.

Max Beerbohm

Confucius

Over the past few years, the road to confrontation has shown its consequences: loss of innocent lives, destruction and fear. Most costly, however, was the loss of hope. The most precious gift that you can present to your peoples over the coming weeks is renewed hope born out of tangible progress on the ground.

King Abdullah II

As a teenager I was so insecure. I was the type of guy that never fitted in because he never dared to choose. I was convinced I had absolutely no talent at all. For nothing. And that thought took away all my ambition too.

Johnny Depp

To make no mistakes is not in the power of man but from their errors and mistakes the wise and good learn wisdom for the future.

Plutarch

We love your adherence to democratic principles and to the democratic process.

George H. W. Bush
