It is exactly our sense of haste and impatience that impedes us from seeing the true beauty life has to offer.

For it pleased God, after he had made all things by the word of his power, to create man after his own image.

George Whitefield

In rap music, even though the element of poetry is very strong, so is the element of the drum, the implication of the dance. Without the beat, its commercial value would certainly be more tenuous.

Archie Shepp

Music has always been my back door to life. It is important for people to find something that excites them. I like the concept that if you do what excites you, you will be rewarded generously, whatever form reward takes, which is not necessarily money.

Brandon Boyd

He who would be a man must therefore be a non-conformist.

Ralph Waldo Emerson

It was nice to hear the voices of little children at play, provided you took care to be far enough away not to hear what they were actually saying.

Terry Pratchett

You can will an act of service but you cannot will love.

Anthony de Mello

Dance like there's nobody watching Love like you'll never get hurtSing like there's nobody listeningLive like it's heaven on earthAnd speak from the heart to be heard.Purkey is the source of this quotation that is attributed to many others: it was made popular in the song Come From The Heart written by Susannah Clark and Richard Leigh. Purkey closed his speeches with this poem and it has now made it into the public domain.

William W. Purkey

Every reform, however necessary, will by weak minds be carried to an excess, which will itself need reforming.

Samuel Taylor Coleridge

Success to me is having ten honeydew melons and eating only the top half of each slice.

Barbra Streisand

I listen like mad to any conversation taking place next to me just trying to hear why this is funny. Women's restrooms are especially great. I wash my hands twice waiting for people to come in and start talking.

Lynda Barry

Everyone learns in about the same way, but some people are better at it than others.

Earl Stevick

Business, that's easily defined - it's other people's money.

Peter Drucker
