The effectiveness of our memory banks is determined not by the total number of facts we take in, but the number we wish to reject.

And too soon Marred are those so early Made.

William Shakespeare

Money is kind of a base subject. Like water, food, air and housing, it affects everything yet for some reason the world of academics thinks it's a subject below their social standing.

Robert Kiyosaki

As she had been walking from the ward to that room, she had felt such pure hatred that now she had no more rancor left in her heart. She had finally allowed her negative feelings to surface, feelings that had been repressed for years in her soul. She had actually FELT them, and they were no longer necessary, they could leave.

Paulo Coelho

I believe all women know in their heart of hearts that they truly are divine and magical, even if they've temporarily forgotten.

Kelly Cutrone

I think it's more important to be fit so that you can be healthy and enjoy activities than it is to have a good body.

Rachel Blanchard

Most of us have learned to be dispassionate about evil, to look it in the face and find, as often as not, our own grinning reflections with which we do not argue, but good is another matter. Few have stared at that long enough to accept that its face too is grotesque, that in us the good is something under construction. The modes of evil usually receive worthy expression. The modes of good have to be satisfied with a cliche or a smoothing down that will soften their real look.

Flannery O'Connor

Hope is the best possession. None are completely wretched but those who are without hope. Few are reduced so low as that.

William Hazlitt

Those who welcome death have only tried it from the ears up.

Wilson Mizner

I am a big believer in the mirror test. All that matters is if you can look in the mirror and honestly tell the person you see there, that you've done your best.

John McKay

To those who do not know mathematics it is difficult to get across a real feeling as to the beauty, the deepest beauty, of nature... If you want to learn about nature, to appreciate nature, it is necessary to understand the language that she speaks in.

Richard Feynman

The best leaders are those most interested in surrounding themselves with assistants and associates smarter than they are. They are frank in admitting this and are willing to pay for such talents.

Amos Parrish

If we use common words on a great occasion, they are the more striking, because they are felt at once to have a particular meaning, like old banners, or everyday clothes, hung up in a sacred place.

George Eliot
