An executive is a man who decides; sometimes he decides right, but always he decides.

Acceptance of the power of God in one's life lays the groundwork for personal commitment to both science and Christianity, which so often have been in conflict.

Kenneth L. Pike

The Republican argument that raising the debt ceiling encourages additional future spending is logically irresponsible. The debt ceiling has to be raised to authorize spending already approved by Congress. Despite that fallacy, the GOP has been able to score political points with its argument.

Eliot Spitzer

I thought I was funny as a kid.

Jo Brand

Chris Hemsworth is like Christopher Reeve in that he can do two things: he can wear a big red cape without a shred of self-consciousness. But he's also funny as hell, and he's so sweet. So with all the fish-out-of-water stuff, he's so funny. So he does almost two jobs in a way.

Tom Hiddleston

I have offended God and mankind because my work didn't reach the quality it should have.

Leonardo da Vinci

Labor gives birth to ideas.

Jim Rohn

Fondly we think we honor merit then, When we but praise ourselves in other men.

Alexander Pope

Christmas is joy, religious joy, an inner joy of light and peace.

Pope Francis

If I imagine my soul, as I do when I pray, it's shaped like Stapafel. No change of place or religion can alter that. I lived beneath Stapafel from the hour I was born until I was sixteen. I've never seen it since, but that doesn't matter. My soul is in the likeness of a jagged peak with a rock like a man standing on its summit, and snags of rock shaped like trolls along its spine. Screes defend it, although it's not quite inaccessible if you know the way up.

Margaret Elphinstone

In the true sense one's native land, with its background of tradition, early impressions, reminiscences and other things dear to one, is not enough to make sensitive human beings feel at home.

Emma Goldman

I love my body. I'm very much OK with it. I don't think artists are ever the ones who have the problem with their weight, it is other people.

Kelly Clarkson

Music is where I have the most creative freedom, but I love producing. To me, that's kind of where all the action is. You get a chance to have your hands in every aspect of a film. From picking a director, sometimes picking a writer, to the actors, the wardrobe, set design, editing, music, and marketing.
