The easiest thing to be in the world is you. The most difficult thing to be is what other people want you to be. Don't let them put you in that position.

You had no right to be born for you make no use of life. Instead of living for, in, and with yourself, as a reasonable being ought, you seek only to fasten your feebleness on some other person's strength.

Charlotte Bronte

The key to every man is his thought. He can only be reformed by showing him a new idea which commands his own.

Ralph Waldo Emerson

It is action that creates motivation.

Steve Backley

Some of the Presidents were great and some of them weren't. I can say that, because I wasn't one of the great Presidents, but I had a good time trying to be one, I can tell you that.

Harry S Truman

Racism is when you have laws set up, systematically put in a way to keep people from advancing, to stop the advancement of a people. Black people have never had the power to enforce racism, and so this is something that white America is going to have to work out themselves. If they decide they want to stop it, curtail it, or to do the right thing... then it will be done, but not until then.

Spike Lee

My mum always told me I was precious, while my dad always told me I was worthless. I think that's a good grounding for a balanced life.

Alan Cumming

My own dreams fortunately came true in this great state. I became Mr. Universe I became a successful businessman. And even though some people say I still speak with a slight accent, I have reached the top of the acting profession.

Arnold Schwarzenegger

In history as in human life, regret does not bring back a lost moment and a thousand years will not recover something lost in a single hour.

Stefan Zweig

Blemishes are hid by night and every fault forgiven; darkness makes any woman fair.

Ovid

My religion is truth, love and service to God and humanity. Every religion that has come into the world has brought the message of love and brotherhood. Those who are indifferent to the welfare of their fellowmen, whose hearts are empty of love, they do not know the meaning of religion.

Khan Abdul Ghaffar Khan

Old men are dangerous: it doesn't matter to them what is going to happen to the world.

George Bernard Shaw

I like to travel. I love touring, I love playing.

Lita Ford
