Early in the morning, I fell in love with the girl that later on became my wife. At that time, we were so naive. I wanted to charm her, so I read her Capital by Marx. I thought somehow she would be convinced by the strength of his criticism about capital.

But I have ever thought religion a concern purely between our God and our consciences, for which we were accountable to him, and not to the priests. I never told my own religion, nor scrutinized that of another. I never attempted to make a convert, nor wished to change another's creed. I have ever judged of the religion of others by their lives, and by this test, my dear Madam, I have been satisfied yours must be an excellent one, to have produced a life of such exemplary virtue and correctness. For it is in our lives, and not from our words, that our religion must be read. By the same test the world must judge me.

Thomas Jefferson

Behold, my son, with what little wisdom the world is ruled.

Count Axel Gustafsson Oxenstiern

I feel fortunate I have this amazing relationship with so many people in America, because I was in their homes at a very private time of day. They probably might have still had their robe on and their slippers and haven't made the beds.

Joan Lunden

I love children and I get along with them great. It's just that I believe if you're going to be a parent, there has to be something inside you that says, 'I want a family.' I don't feel that sense of urgency.

George Clooney

Any time you try to win everything, you must be willing to lose everything.

Larry Csonka

Success should always be just beyond your grasp.

William Shatner

Use, do not abuse; neither abstinence nor excess ever renders man happy.

Voltaire

I know it sounds a bit corny, but I do think that beauty and sexiness come from within.

Rachel Stevens

I don't know any other lifestyle. I get up in the morning and I really do feel that the world is my oyster, and I start that way, the same as I would if I were preparing to write a song: put a blank piece of paper up on the piano and you go for it.

Lesley Gore

There are those who look at things the way they are, and ask why... I dream of things that never were, and ask why not?

Robert Kennedy

I actually have a thing about proper nouns. They clang on my ear in a weird way when I hear them dropped into movies.

Josh Radnor

Only one thing has to change for us to know happiness in our lives: where we focus our attention.
