Four short words sum up what has lifted most successful individuals above the crowd: a little bit more. They did all that was expected of them and a little bit more.

Be wary of passing the judgment: obscure. To find something obscure poses no difficulty: elephants and poodles find many things obscure.

G. C. (Georg Christoph) Lichtenb

I get bored. We seem to have been having a little bit more time off this winter than last winter. I'm always itching to get back in the car. It's going to get harder, so I've got to make sure that I'm doing everything I possibly can do to make sure I can start next season how I ended this season.

Dan Wheldon

The giving is the hardest part; what does it cost to add a smile?

Jean de la Bruyere

Let us not be justices of the peace, but angels of peace.

St. Theresa of Lisieux

Judged by every standard which history has applied to Governments, the Soviet Government of Russia is one of the worst tyrannies that has ever existed in the world. It accords no political rights. It rules by terror. It punishes political opinions. It suppresses free speech. It tolerates no newspapers but its own. It persecutes Christianity with a zeal and a cunning never equalled since the times of the Roman Emperors. It is engaged at this moment in trampling down the peoples of Georgia and executing their leaders by hundreds.

Sir Winston Churchill

Give me one friend, just one, who meets The needs of all my varying moods.

Esther M. Clark

I grew up watching those blaxploitation movies. Ron O'Neal, Richard Roundtree, Jim Brown, Pam Grier. For the first time, I saw 'The Negro' get one over on 'The Man.'

Samuel L. Jackson

This is the present moment. Learn how to gobble it up without fear or guilt.

Paulo Coelho

Only poetry inspires poetry.

Ralph Waldo Emerson

Being beautiful is accomplished everytime you don't wear make-up

Alice

There is a certain class of people who prefer to say that their fathers came down in the world through their own follies than to boast that they rose in the world through their own industry and talents. It is the same shabby-genteel sentiment, the same vanity of birth which makes men prefer to believe that they are degenerated angels rather than elevated apes.

W. Winwood Reade

I will think of you every time I need to be reminded that there is beauty and goodness in the world.

Arthur Golden
