The more easily digestible and refined the carbohydrates, the greater the effect on our health, weight and well-being.

I want to kick-start your imagination and let you discover the places it can take you.

Terry Brooks

What's terrible is to pretend that the second-rate is first-rate, that you don't need love when you do or that you like your work when you know quite well you're capable of better.

Doris Lessing

I've remembered that most of life is about small, essential connections, so unobtrusive, so elastic, that you scarcely realize they're actually holding you together. The big ones-the great, grand emotional bonds-those are the ones that break, the ones that fail you, the ones that give way and send you careening toward the foot of the bleak and jagged canyon. It's the tough, gnarled, unadorned ties that really do bind, that never let you fall all the way down into darkness.

Sharon Shinn

What one has, one ought to use: and whatever he does he should do with all his might.

Marcus Tullius Cicero

Success in life comes not from holding a good hand, but in playing a poor hand well.

Denis Waitley

Business and growing jobs is about taking risk, sometimes failing, sometimes succeeding, but always striving. It is about dreams. Usually, it doesn't work out exactly as you might have imagined. Steve Jobs was fired at Apple. He came back and changed the world.

Mitt Romney

I think with the Romans, that the general of today should be a soldier tomorrow if necessary.

Thomas Jefferson

When asked what he would do if he only had six months to live: Type faster.

Isaac Asimov

Let reverence for the laws be breathed by every American mother to the lisping babe that prattles on her lap. Let it be taught in schools, in seminaries, and in colleges. Let it be written in primers, spelling books, and in almanacs. Let it be preached from the pulpit, proclaimed in legislative halls, and enforced in the courts of justice. And, in short, let it become the political religion of the nation.

Abraham Lincoln

I think the key is for women not to set any limits.

Martina Navratilova, (attributed

People sometimes say that the way things happen in the movies is unreal, but actually it's the way things happen to you in life that's unreal. The movies make emotions look so strong and real, whereas when things really do happen to you, it's like watching television -- you don't feel anything.

Andy Warhol

Just like my father, I've always loved education. In school I was a member of the honor society.

Barbra Streisand
