Drugs have played no significant factor in my life.

Beautiful songs could sometimes take a person out of themselves and carry them away to a place of magic. But when Jill sang, it was not about the song, really. She could sing the phone book. She could sing a shopping list. Whatever she sang, whatever the words or the tune, it was so beautiful, so achingly lovely, that no one could listen and be untouched.

Michael Grant

I love it when people doubt me. It makes me work harder to prove them wrong.

Derek Jeter

“It is never too late to be what you might have been.”

George Eliot

I don't like my hockey sticks touching other sticks, and I don't like them crossing one another, and I kind of have them hidden in the corner. I put baby powder on the ends. I think it's essentially a matter of taking care of what takes care of you.

Wayne Gretzky

Today I can declare my hope and declare it from the bottom of my heart that we will eventually see the time when that number of nuclear weapons is down to zero and the world is a much better place.

Colin Powell

To fly as fast as thought, to anywhere that is. He said, you must begin by knowing that you have already arrived.

Richard Bach

It would kill the past, and when that was dead, he would be free.

Oscar Wilde

We make war that we may live in peace.

Aristotle

If you don't say anything, you won't be called on to repeat it.

Calvin Coolidge

To vice, innocence must always seem only a superior kind of chicanery.

Ouida

All our progress is an unfolding, like a vegetable bud. You have first an instinct, then an opinion, then a knowledge as the plant has root, bud, and fruit. Trust the instinct to the end, though you can render no reason.

Ralph Waldo Emerson

Those speak foolishly who ascribe their anger or their impatience to such as offend them or to tribulation. Tribulation does not make people impatient, but proves that they are impatient. So everyone may learn from tribulation how his heart is constituted.

Martin Luther King Jr.
