Every time you have to speak, you are auditioning for leadership.

Want of money and the distress of a thief can never be alleged as the cause of his thieving, for many honest people endure greater hardships with fortitude. We must therefore seek the cause elsewhere than in want of money, for that is the miser's passion, not the thief's.

William Blake

The white light streams down to be broken up by those human prisms into all the colors of the rainbow. Take your own color in the pattern and be just that.

Charles R. Brown

When a chick has a sense of humor, there's nothing more attractive.

Dylan O'Brien

Aristotle maintained that women have fewer teeth than men; although he was twice married, it never occurred to him to verify this statement by examining his wives' mouths.

Bertrand Russell

War has been the most convenient pseudo-solution for the problems of twentieth-century capitalism. It provides the incentives to modernization and technological revolution which the market and the pursuit of profit do only fitfully and by accident, it makes the unthinkable (such as votes for women and the abolition of unemployment) not merely thinkable but practicable. What is equally important, it can re-create communities of men and give a temporary sense to their lives by uniting them against foreigners and outsiders. This is an achievement beyond the power of the private enterprise economy when left to itself.

E. J. Hobsbawm

Vessels large may venture more, But little boats should keep near shore.

Benjamin Franklin

Prudence is a rich, ugly, old maid courted by incapacity.

William Blake

No matter what looms ahead, if you can eat today, enjoy today, mix good cheer with friends today; enjoy it and bless God for it.

Henry Ward Beecher

The knowledge of anything, since all things have causes, is not acquired or complete unless it is known by its causes.

Avicenna

I believe that the majority of times the scale tilts toward the good. It's this amazing thing that rolls on and if we get in the flow of it, that's God. And if we fight it, if we swim the other way, we're swimming away from the purest expression of this life.

Michael J. Fox

I'd love to design my own swim collection for them (VS)...Heidi (Klum) does the lipsticks, I would love to one day do the bikinis.

Marisa Miller

To expect a personality to survive the disintegration of the brain is like expecting a cricket club to survive when all of its members are dead
