Every science begins as philosophy and ends as art.

It's easier to replace a dead man than a good picture.

George Bernard Shaw

Acting is bad acting if the actor himself gets emotional in the act of making the audience cry. The object is to make the audience cry, but not cry yourself. The emotion has to be inside the actor, not outside. If you stand there weeping and wailing, all your emotions will go down your shirt and nothing will go out to your audience. Audience control is really about the actor

Steve Wynn

Guests, like fish, begin to smell after three days.

Benjamin Franklin

You must not blame me if I do talk to the clouds.

Henry David Thoreau

People often say that motivation doesn't last. Well, neither does bathing - that's why we recommend it daily.

Zig Ziglar

Walt had a marvelous intuition. And because he understood people very well, liked them and had great respect for people, there was nothing cynical about Walt.

John Hench

Our greatest weakness lies in giving up. The most certain way to succeed is always to try just one more time.

Thomas Alva Edison
