My own experience and development deepen everyday my conviction that our moral progress may be measured by the degree in which we sympathize with individual suffering and individual joy.

Courage is fire, and bullying is smoke.

Benjamin Disraeli

I spent a lot of money on booze, birds and fast cars. The rest I just squandered.

George Best

You and I know and do not believe that life is so dear and peace so sweet as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery. If nothing is worth dying for, when did this begin...? ...Should Moses have told the children of Israel to live in slavery under the pharaohs? Should Christ have refused the cross? Should the patriots of Concord Bridge have thrown down their guns and refused to fire the shot heard 'round the world?

Ronald Reagan

Life is sobs, sniffles, and smiles, with sniffles predominating.

Ogden Nash

Until input thought is linked to a goal purpose there can be no intelligent accomplishment.

Paul G. Thomas

I believe that what so saddens the reformer is not his sympathy with his fellows in distress, but, though he be the holiest son of God, is his private ail. Let this be righted, let the spring come to him, the morning rise over his couch, and he will forsake his generous companions without apology.

Henry David Thoreau

He knew now that it was his own will to happiness which must make the next move. But if he was to do so, he realized that he must come to terms with time, that to have time was at once the most magnificent and the most dangerous of experiments. Idleness is fatal only to the mediocre.

Albert Camus

...the real absurdity is that to love is to suffer, but the reverse isn't always true...

John Geddes

Sir, we are a nest of singing birds

Samuel Johnson

Failing to find in women exactly the same kind of sexual emotions, as they find in themselves, men have concluded that there are none there at all.

Havelock Ellis

I don't want to play the fat guy or the friend for the rest of my life.

Sean Astin

Being at the center of a film is a burden one takes on with innocence -- the first time. Thereafter, you take it on with trepidation.

Daniel Day Lewis
