I feel my belief in sacrifice and struggle getting stronger. I despise the kind of existence that clings to the miserly trifles of comfort and self-interest. I think that a man should not live beyond the age when he begins to deteriorate, when the flame that lighted the brightest moment of his life has weakened.

Abraham Lincoln

Who does not in some sort live to others, does not live much to himself.

Michel de Montaigne

Jessica Simpson

There is a great satisfaction in building good tools for other people to use.

Freeman Dyson

To be so bent on Marriage - to pursue a man merely for the sake of situation - is a sort of thing that shocks me; I cannot understand it. Poverty is a great Evil, but to a woman of Education and feeling it ought not, it cannot be the greatest.

Jane Austen

When you forgive, you in no way change the past - but you sure do change the future.

Samuel Johnson

I refuse to step inside the ring and fight like a gladiator against my own. I'm not playing that game. Any woman who has survived a year or more of making music has my undying respect.

Shirley Manson

All's the government should do is keep the taxes and regulations at a manageable rate, keep a decent standing army and get out of the way.

Adam Carolla

Keep the faith, don't lose your perseverance and always trust your gut extinct.

Paula Abdul

The wrongdoer is more unfortunate than the man wronged.

Democritus
