Fate does not invite ugly boring people to save the world; and if you try to save the world (without being beautiful, strong, clever, or wise), you will soon die pointlessly and how much adventure is there in that?

A cheerful life is what the Muses love, A soaring spirit is their prime delight.

William Wordsworth

This morning when I put on my underwear I could hear the fruitoftheloom guys laughing at me.

Rodney Dangerfield

A positive attitude gives you power over your circumstances instead of circumstances having power over you.

Joyce Meyer

I'm not crying because of you; you're not worth it. I'm crying because my delusion of who you were was shattered by the truth of who you are.

Steve Maraboli

I tell my students, it's not difficult to identify with somebody like yourself, somebody next door who looks like you. What's more difficult is to identify with someone you don't see, who's very far away, who's a different color, who eats a different kind of food. When you begin to do that then literature is really performing its wonders.

Chinua Achebe

Stephen Richards

If you kiss on the first date and it's not right, then there will be no second date. Sometimes it's better to hold out and not kiss for a long time. I am a strong believer in kissing being very intimate, and the minute you kiss, the floodgates open for everything else.

Jennifer Lopez

The first thing I do every day when I wake up is thank God for letting me make it through the night and giving me another day of life - just because sometimes I wake up, and I cannot believe I'm doing what I'm doing. I just thank Him. I don't know how I deserve it, but it's completely because of Him.

Lauren Alaina

Children are the closest we have to wisdom, and they become adults the moment that final drop of everything mysterious is strained from them.

Simon Van Booy

Four snakes gliding up and down a hollow for no purpose that I could see not to eat, not for love, but only gliding.

Ralph Waldo Emerson

I certainly saw science as a kind of calling, and one with as much legitimacy as a religious calling.

Joshua Lederberg
