The first principle of ethical power is Purpose. By purpose, I don't mean your objective or intention-something toward which you are always striving. Purpose is something bigger. It is the picture you have of yourself-the kind of person you want to be or the kind of life you want to lead.

Philosophy finds it an easy matter to vanquish past and future evils, but the present are commonly too hard for it.

These heroes are dead. They died for liberty - they died for us. They are at rest. They sleep in the land they made free, under the flag they rendered stainless, under the solemn pines, the sad hemlocks, the tearful willows, and the embracing vines. They sleep beneath the shadows of the clouds, careless alike of sunshine or of storm, each in the windowless Place of Rest. Earth may run red with other wars - they are at peace. In the midst of battle, in the roar of conflict, they found the serenity of death. I have one sentiment for soldiers living and dead: cheers for the living; tears for the dead.

Robert G. Ingersoll

Ashley Tisdale

With just enough of learning to misquote.

Lord (George Gordon) Byron

I travel 330 days a year and eat every two and a half hours - I'm a big guy. I always carry a fork, little bottles of spices, and Sriracha. I eat what I feel like eating.

Robert Irvine

You meet people in Hollywood that are famous, and you're not sure what they got famous for.

Rainn Wilson

To stand in true relations with men in a false age is worth a fit of insanity, is it not?

Ralph Waldo Emerson
