Film is an illusion. Fame is ephemeral. Faith and family are what endure.

There is nothing more enticing, disenchanting, and enslaving than the life at sea.

Joseph Conrad

One of the reasons I'm an actor is because I was no physical specimen as a child. I wasn't athletic and didn't have any prowess in that regard. Growing up in Kentucky, most little boys were trying to get into sports, and it was very competitive, so that was not to be. But I did want to do something.

Michael Shannon

If I can put one touch of rosy sunset into the life of any man or woman, I shall feel that I have worked with God.

Gilbert K. Chesterton

We are built to conquer environment, solve problems, achieve goals, and we find no real satisfaction or happiness in life without obstacles to conquer and goals to achieve.

Maxwell Maltz

The U.S. - E.U. economic relationship dwarfs America's economic ties with China.

John Bruton

I love Marvel and the people there. I'm glad I'm still part of it.

Stan Lee

In all the movies I'm in love with someone in my head. There's always love in a film somewhere. It doesn't matter even if it's an action movie.

Channing Tatum

To most humans, a universe consisting of particles banging about and doing what they have to do seems cold, barren, and without meaning. Meaning, however, is not something that floats in space, permeating the universe like a nebulous, mystical cloud. ... Meaning arises out of the working of the human mind, and therefore exists only in the human mind. The meaning of existence is whatever you want to make of it.

Milton A. Rothman, The Science G

Idleness is a constant sin, and labor is a duty. Idleness is the devil's home for temptation and for unprofitable, distracting musings; while labor profit others and ourselves.

Anne Baxter

To reach something good it is very useful to have gone astray, and thus acquire experience.

Saint Teresa of Avila

Sooner or later, the man who learnt lessons from his failures will be the one to be sought first for guidance, counsel and formula on how to be successful in life's endeavours.

Ogwo David Emenike

Ideas are more powerful than guns. We would not let our enemies have guns, why should we let them have ideas.
