To those of us who often procrastinate on the decision we feel intimidated by lack of education or any area of weakness. I relieve you with this statement: It is not how much you know that arms you with the tools of great decision making, but rather how much you ask. Ask questions.

T.D. Jakes

Hate is too great a burden to bear. It injures the hater more than it injures the hated.

Coretta Scott King

Theban who acquires his wealth by inheritance builds his mansion with the weak poor's money. The clergyman erects his temple upon the graves and bones of the devoted worshippers. The prince grasps the fellah's arms while the priest empties his pocket; the ruler looks upon the sobs of the fields with frowning face, and the bishop consoles them with his smile, and between the frown of the tiger and the smile of the wolf the flock is perished; the ruler claims himself as king if the law, and the priest as the representative if god, and between these two, the bodies are destroyed and the souls wither into nothing.

Kahlil Gibran

To copy beauty forfeits all pretense to fame to copy faults is want of sense.

Charles Churchill

Time is too slow for those who waittoo swift for those who feartoo long for those who grieve,too short for those who rejoice,but for those who love, time is eternity.Hours fly, flowers die, new days, new ways pass by, Love stays.

Henry Van Dyke, Katrina's Sun Di

The greatest thing about doing this movie was that Chris and I both were involved in folk music in the '60s. I had a group, but I don't think it was at the same level as Chris, because he's an amazing musician.

Eugene Levy

An economist's guess is liable to be as good as anybody else's.
