The human soul needs actual beauty more than bread.

David Herbert Lawrence

Man is never honestly the fatalist, nor even the stoic. He fights his fate, often desperately. He is forever entering bold exceptions to the rulings of the bench of gods. This fighting, no doubt, makes for human progress, for it favors the strong and the brave. It also makes for beauty, for lesser men try to escape from a hopeless and intolerable world by creating a more lovely one of their own.

H. L. Mencken

The omission of good is no less reprehensible than the commission of evil.

Plutarch

Find a good teacher, as I found for my sons. I feel the worst thing you can do is to try and teach your own children yourself, because there is a natural rebellion that occurs.

Keith Emerson

James Barrie

I would say I was always very ambitious and goal-oriented, but rather than being just a go-getter hustler, now I surrender a lot more and I trust my path a lot more.

Jenna Dewan

He does not believe that does not live according to his belief .

Thomas Fuller

There are only two forces in the world, the sword and the spirit. In the long run the sword will always be conquered by the spirit.

Napoleon Bonaparte

I was sick and tired of being an English actor who did a lot of American movies because I was cheap and good.

Daniel Craig
