We should feel sorrow, but not sink under its oppression.

And to me, fame is not a positive thing. The idea of being famous is a lot better than the reality. It's fantastic when you go to premieres and people cheer you, but it's not real. And it's totally not my approach to get my name on a club door just because I can.

Tom Felton

Appreciation is a wonderful thing. It makes what is excellent in others belong to us as well.

Voltaire

There must be people who remember World War II and the Holocaust who can help us get out of this rut.

Martin Scorsese

No nation was ever ruined by trade.

Benjamin Franklin

Everybody wants to be somebody; nobody wants to grow.

Johann von Goethe

Unfortunately, a lot of the concepts in the Bible are based on ancient mythology that doesn't fit the findings of science.

Clyde Tombaugh

It takes an endless amount of history to make even a little tradition.

Henry James

Our planning system was dynamite when we first put it in. The thinking was fresh; the form mattered little. It was idea oriented. We then hired a head of planning, and he hired two vice presidents, and then he hired a planner; and the books got thicker, and the printing more sophisticated, and the covers got harder, and the drawings got better.

John Welch

It doesn't seem to me that this fantastically marvelous universe, this tremendous range of time and space and different kinds of animals, and all the different planets, and all these atoms with all their motions, and so on, all this complicated thing can merely be a stage so that God can watch human beings struggle for good and evil - which is the view that religion has. The stage is too big for the drama.

Richard P. Feynman

The value of an idea has nothing whatsoever to do with the sincerity of the man who expresses it. Indeed, the probabilities are that the more insincere the man is, the more purely intellectual will the idea be, as in that case it will not be coloured by either his wants, his desires, or his prejudices.

Oscar Wilde, The Picture of Dori

The truth will set you free. Unless you're guilty.

Keith Ablow

If you have no enemies you are apt to be in the same predicament in regard to friends.
