Every day you face two important decisions: what effect you want your speech and actions to have on the world around you, and what impressions and vibrations you want to be receptive to.

We always love those who admire us, but we do not always love those whom we admire.

Francois de La Rochefoucauld

A speech should not just be a sharing of information, but a sharing of yourself.

Ralph Archbold

You can tell a lot about a fellow's character by his way of eating jelly beans.

Ronald Reagan

I do not seek, I find.

Pablo Picasso

The freedom of all is essential to my freedom.

Mikhail Bakunin

According to inflation, the more than 100 billion galaxies, sparkling throughout space like heavenly diamonds, are nothing but quantum mechanics writ large across the sky. To me, this realization is one of the greatest wonders of the modern scientific age.

Brian Greene

Fame is proof that people are gullible

Ralph Waldo Emerson

My dad was a Methodist minister.

George McGovern

When we can find some humor in our upsets, they no longer seem as large or as important as they once did.

Allen Klein

People who have accomplished work worthwhile have had a very high sense of the way to do things. They have not been content with mediocrity. They have not confined themselves to the beaten tracks; they have never been satisfied to do things just as others so them, but always a little better. They always pushed things that came to their hands a little higher up, this little farther on, that counts in the quality of life's work. It is constant effort to be first-class in everything one attempts that conquers the heights of excellence.

Orison Swett Marden

Lords are lordliest in their wine.

John Milton

Poetry is finer and more philosophical than history; for poetry expresses the universal, and history only the particular.

Aristotle
