Experience is the child of thought, and thought is the child of action.

What we call conscience in many instances, is only a wholesome fear of the law.

Christian Nevell Bovee

A successful man is one who makes more money than his wife can spend. A successful woman is one who can find such a man.

It was very still. The tree was tall and straggling. It had thrown its briers over a hawthorn-bush, and its long streamers trailed thick, right down to the grass, splashing the darkness everywhere with great spilt stars, pure white. In bosses of ivory and in large splashed stars the roses gleamed on the darkness of foliage and stems and grass. Paul and Miriam stood close together, silent, and watched. Point after point the steady roses shone out to them, seeming to kindle something in their souls. The dusk came like smoke around, and still did not put out the roses.

D.H. Lawrence

I would rather have strong enemies than a world of passive individualists. In a world of passive individualists nothing seems worth anything simply because nobody stands for anything. That world has no convictions, no victories, no unions, no heroism, no absolutes, no heartbeat. That world has rigor mortis.

Criss Jami

I travel around the world constantly promoting my projects and endorsing products. Yes, I do get paid to go to parties in fact, I'm the person who started the whole trend of paid appearances. But when you see me at a party, I'm always working or promoting something.

You know your problem, Quentin? You keep expecting people not to be themselves

John Green

A reputation once broken may possibly be repaired, but the world will always keep their eyes on the spot where the crack was.

Joseph Hall

I practice yoga at home to a TV show called 'Inhale,' taught by Steve Ross. I figured that if the people on the show could stretch that deep then I could too. I ended up pulling my hip flexor. But that's how I met my husband. Paul was the physical therapist my coach called to meet with me after hours.

Danica Patrick

People are much more willing to lend you books than bookcases.
