I don't write poems and put them to music. Just let things flow.

Never despair, keep pushing on!

Sir Thomas Lipton

The mind, like a parachute, functions only when open.

Anonymous

If justice is removed... the great, the immense fabric of human society...must in a moment crumble into atoms.

Adam Smith

The most perfect political community must be amongst those who are in the middle rank, and those states are best instituted wherein these are a larger and more respectable part, if possible, than both the other; or, if that cannot be, at least than either of them separate.

Aristotle

If you think about disaster, you will get it. Brood about death and you hasten your demise. Think positively and masterfully, with confidence and faith, and life becomes more secure, more fraught with action, richer in achievement and experience.

Edward Rickenbacker

You have to look at the history of the Middle East in particular. It has been one of failure and frustration, of feudalism and tribalism.

Alexander Haig

No matter who the characters are, you can strip them down and find small universal truths.

Jena Malone

I'm in prison. But my heart and mind is free. Gangsta haters on the streets are doing more time than me. They need 30 police escorts with them every time they walk down the street.

Suge Knight

A positive attitude can really make dreams come true -- it did for me.

Zina Garrison

If it were true what in the end would be gained? Nothing but another truth. Is this such a mighty advantage? We have enough old truths still to digest, and even these we would be quite unable to endure if we did not sometimes flavor them with lies.

Georg Christoph Lichtenberg

I don't need a friend who changes when I change and who nods when I nod; my shadow does that much better.

Plutarch

Surround yourself with great people; delegate authority; get out of the way

Ronald Reagan
