I feel a social responsibility. We need to open people's eyes. There is a lack of education in Ethiopia.

Aging happy and well, instead of sad and sick, is at least under some personal control. We have considerable control over our weight, our exercise, our education, and our abuse of cigarettes and alcohol. With hard work and/or therapy, our relationships with our spouses and our coping styles can be changed for the better. A successful old age may lie not so much in our stars and genes as in ourselves.

George Vaillant

If mass communications blend together harmoniously, and often unnoticeably, art, politics, religion, and philosophy with commercials, they bring these realms of culture to their common denominator -- the commodity form. The music of the soul is also the music of salesmanship. Exchange value, not truth value, counts.

Herbert Marcuse

It takes bravery to recognize where in your life you are your own poison... it takes courage to do something about it.

Steve Maraboli

We all of us deserve happiness or none of us does.

Mary Gordon

Jackie Chan

Dale Carnegie

Have faith in your own thoughts.

Brooke Shields

Master, go on, and I will follow theeTo the last gasp with truth and loyalty.

William Shakespeare

This was the greatest gift that he had, the talent that fitted him for war; that ability not to ignore but to despise whatever bad ending there could be. This quality was destroyed by too much responsibility for others or the necessity of undertaking something ill planned or badly conceived. For in such things the bad ending, failure, could not be ignored. It was not simply a possibility of harm to one's self, which be ignored. He knew he himself was nothing, and he knew death was nothing. He knew that truly, as truly as he knew anything. In the last few days he had learned that he himself, with another person, could be everything. But inside himself he knew that this was the exception. That we have had, he thought. In that I have been most fortunate. That was given to me, perhaps, because I never asked for it. That cannot be taken away nor lost. But that is over and done with now on this morning and what there is to do now is our work.

Ernest Hemingway

We all of us waited for him to die. The family sent him a check every month, and hoped he'd get on with it quietly, without too much vulgar fuss.

John Osborne

To succeed it is necessary to accept the world as it is and rise above it.

Michael Korda

A committee is a thing which takes a week to do what one good man can do in an hour.
