Everything negative - pressure, challenges - is all an opportunity for me to rise.

A Christian reveals true humility by showing the gentleness of Christ, by being always ready to help others, by speaking kind words and performing unselfish acts, which elevate and ennoble the most sacred message that has come to our world.

Ellen G. White

Any test that turns on what is offensive to the communitys standards is too loose, too capricious, too destructive of freedom of expression to be squared with the First Amendment. Under that test, juries can censor, suppress, and punish what they dont like, provided the matter relates to sexual impurity or has a tendency to excite lustful thoughts. This is community censorship in one of its worst forms. It creates a regime where in the battle between the literati and the Philistines, the Philistines are certain to win.

William O. Douglas

Sometimes you can cattle rope your heart and sometimes you can't, is all.

Deb Caletti

Only a fool knows everything. A wise man knows how little he knows.

Also, because people like to multitask, in a way if you've got a bit of music on in the background and the lyrical content is making you want to listen to it, then that would probably put you off the texting you wanted to do. I think people like things that just make that right kind of noise, but leave your brain free to do something else.

Jarvis Cocker

I get appalled when I see good drivers being left on the sidelines because they haven't come up with the half million to a million to put themselves in a competitive car.

John Surtees

Man is a credulous animal, and must believe something; in the absence of good grounds for belief, he will be satisfied with bad ones. p. 130.

Bertrand Russell

A thing of beauty is a joy forever: its loveliness increases it will never pass into nothingness.

John Keats

He that lies down with dogs, shall rise up with fleas.

Benjamin Franklin

As an example of just how useless these philosophers are for any practice in life there is Socrates himself, the one and only wise man, according to the Delphic Oracle. Whenever he tried to do anything in public he had to break off amid general laughter. While he was philosophizing about clouds and ideas, measuring a flea's foot and marveling at a midge's humming, he learned nothing about the affairs of ordinary life.

Desiderius Erasmus

I love going to movies.

Serena Williams

To understand the heart and mind of a person, look not at what he has already achieved, but at what he aspires to do.
