Ever notice that people never say It's only a game when they're winning?

Football isn't a contact sport, it's a collision sport. Dancing is a contact sport.

Duffy Daugherty

Perhaps a lunatic was simply a minority of one. At one time it had been a sign of madness to believe that the Earth goes round the Sun; today, to believe the past is inalterable. He might be alone in holding that belief, and if alone, then a lunatic. But the thought of being a lunatic did not greatly trouble him; the horror was that he might also be wrong.

George Orwell

I have six sisters, so I assumed I'd have a girl. Learning I was having a boy was really weird.

Melissa Joan Hart

The gross heathenism of civilization has generally destroyed nature, and poetry, and all that is spiritual.

John Muir

I managed Hewlett Packard through the worst technology downturn in 25 years, the dotcom bust.

Carly Fiorina

Okay. You are somewhere, at least in theory, between Butte and Mobile, going faster than sound in a long metal container that is not in physical contact with anything. A slight jiggling sensation at your prostate (if you have one) is, essentially, all that is holding you up 30,000 feet above something that looks like a badly distressed suede jacket, but is in fact the surface of the earth. You have been served a brown puddle with a lump in it, a rectangle of pale-yellow congealment, and some kind of mineral-based salad. There is a wheeeeengneeeenngn noise. The jiggle-at-the-prostate feeling gives way to a kind of giving-way sensation. You are swallowed by a cloud. Rule one: Maintain perspective.

Roy Blount, Jr.

The commonest and cheapest sounds, as the barking of a dog, produce the same effect on fresh and healthy ears that the rarest music does. It depends on your appetite for sound. Just as a crust is sweeter to a healthy appetite than confectionery to a pampered or diseased one.

Henry David Thoreau

In rivers and bad governments, the lightest things swim at the top

Benjamin Franklin

Unless and until Barack Obama addresses the full depth of Americans' anger with his full arsenal of policy smarts and political gifts, his presidency and, worse, our economy will be paralyzed.

Frank Rich

One secret of success in life is for a man to be ready for his opportunity when it comes.

Benjamin Disraeli

I hate the place like poison with a sincere hatred.

People who make the choice to study, work hard or do whatever they endeavor is to give it the max on themselves to reach to the top level. And you have the people who get envy and jealous, yet are not willing to put that work in, and they want to get the same praise.
