Every day, the New York Times carries a motto in a box on its front page. All the News That's Fit to Print, it says. It's been saying it for decades, day in and day out. I imagine most readers of the canonical sheet have long ceased to notice this bannered and flaunted symbol of its mental furniture. I myself check every day to make sure that the bright, smug, pompous, idiotic claim is still there.

There is nothing stable in the world uproar's your only music.

John Keats

An apology might help, but you can change your life without one.

Robin Quivers

Knowing a great deal is not the same as being smart; intelligence is not information alone but also judgment, the manner in which information is collected and used

Dr. Carl Sagan

The way I played music there was the way I wanted to farm, chop wood, cook, make love, raise children. Everything. A lo of it had to do with things I felt while I played. If only I could feel that sense of total absorption in what I was doing when I was doing other things. It was more than absorption, it was spontaneity, competence, a sense of grace and playfulness, of being in touch with an inexhaustible source of energy and beauty.

Mark Vonnegut

America isn't Congress. America isn't Washington. America is the striving immigrant who starts a business, or the mom who works two low-wage jobs to give her kid a better life. America is the union leader and the CEO who put aside their differences to make the economy stronger.

Barack Obama

Resist your fear fear will never lead to you a positive end. Go for your faith and what you believe.

T. D. Jakes

My family isn't really all that different from anyone else's. Well, maybe they're a bit more entertaining.

David Sedaris

You know, you go home and you try on a new mascara, and I guess a male CEO can't do that.

Andrea Jung

Do you know a cure for me? Why yes, he said, I know a cure for everything. Salt water.Salt water? I asked him. Yes, he said, in one form or another, sweat, tears or the salt sea.

Isak Dinesen

If you believe in something because of miracles, then another kind of miracles can make you deny it.

Toba Beta

I urged that kings were dangerous. He said, then have cats. He was sure that a royal family of cats would answer every purpose. They would be as useful as any other royal family, they would know as much, they would have the same virtues and the same treacheries, the same disposition to get up shindies with other royal cats, they would be laughably vain and absurd and never know it, they would be wholly inexpensive, finally, they would have as sound a divine right as any other royal house...The worship of royalty being founded in unreason, these graceful and harmless cats would easily become as sacred as any other royalties, and indeed more so, because it would presently be noticed that they hanged nobody, beheaded nobody, imprisoned nobody, inflicted no cruelties or injustices of any sort, and so must be worthy of a deeper love and reverence than the customary human king, and would certainly get it.http://www.twainquotes.com

Mark Twain, A Connecticut Yankee

Even when you have doubts, take that step. Take chances. Mistakes are never a failure - they can be turned into wisdom.

Cat Cora
