A father is a man who expects his son to be as good a man as he meant to be.

We had access to too much money, too much equipment, and little by little, we went insane.

Francis Ford Coppola

Unwilling service earns no thanks.

Danish proverb

There are men so incorrigibly lazy that no inducement that you can offer will tempt them to work; so eaten up by vice that virtue is abhorrent to them, and so inveterately dishonest that theft is to them a master passion. When a human being has reached that stage, there is only one course that can be rationally pursued. Sorrowfully, but remorselessly, it must be recognized that he has become lunatic, morally demented, incapable of self-government, and that upon him, therefore, must be passed the sentence of permanent seclusion from a world in which he is not fit to be at large.

William Booth

A wise person should have money in their head, but not in their heart.

Jonathan Swift

I've discovered I've got this preoccupation with ordinary people pursued by large forces.

Steven Spielberg

Tar-heart baby, let me be, let me shine bright, stop making fun of me. Stop bringing up my past un-funs.

Coco J. Ginger

Every life is a story. Every story has mistakes. If you focus too much on the mistakes, you will miss the story. In doing that, you are making a dreadful mistake yourself. Sometimes, it is the mistakes that enrich and give the story so much more meaning than it would have had otherwise.

Beverly S. Harless

Those who prefer their English sloppy have only themselves to thank if the advertisement writer uses his mastery of vocabulary and syntax to mislead their weak minds.

Dorothy L. Sayers

I think I learned about the relationship between books and life from Margaret Mitchell.

Pat Conroy

According to materialistic science, any memory requires a material substrate, such as the neuronal network in the brain or the DNA molecules of the genes.

Stanislav Grof

Show me a good and gracious loser and I'll show you a failure.

Knute Rockne

Throughout my career, if I have done anything, I have paid attention to every note and every word I sing - if I respect the song. If I cannot project this to a listener, I fail.

Frank Sinatra
