In my family, in the days prior to television, we liked to while away the evenings by making ourselves miserable, solely based on our ability to speak the language viciously.

A well-run restaurant is like a winning baseball team. It makes the most of every crew member's talent and takes advantage of every split-second opportunity to speed up service.

David Ogilvy

I hate it when my leg falls asleep. I know that means it's going to be up all night.

Steven Wright

Pleasure usually takes the form of me and now; joy is us and always.

Marvin J. Ashton

I am an optimist. It does not seem too much use being anything else....

Winston Churchill

If I had followed my better judgment always, my life would have been a very dull one.

Edgar Rice Burroughs, Llana Of G

I have nothing to add.

Charlie Munger

Imagination is at the root of much that passes for love.

Gilbert Parker

I do like to move and get physical in my movies.

Nicolas Cage

The vigour of civilised societies is preserved by the widespread sense that high aims are worth while. Vigorous societies harbour a certain extravagance of objectives, so that men wander beyond the safe provision of personal gratifications. All strong interests easily become impersonal, the love of a good job well done. There is a sense of harmony about such an accomplishment, the Peace brought by something worth while. Such personal gratification arises from aim beyond personality.

Alfred North Whitehead, Adventur

Money is a good thing and it's obviously useful, but to work only for money or fame would never interest me.

Annie Lennox

Be patient. The path of self-discipline that leads to God-realization is not an easy path: obstacles and sufferings are on the path; the latter you must bear, and the former overcome -- all by His help. His help comes only through concentration. Repetition of God's name helps concentration.

Swami Ramdas

The sensibility of man to trifles, and his insensibility to great things, indicates a strange inversion.

Blaise Pascal
