Friendship makes prosperity brighter, while it lightens adversity by sharing its grieves and anxieties.

Love is only the game that is not called on account of darkness.

Mangnu Hirschfield

Nothing makes one so vain as being told one is a sinner. Conscience makes egotists of us all.

Oscar Wilde

Look wise say nothing and grunt, speech was given to conceal thought.

William Osler

Certainty? In this world nothing is certain but death and taxes.

Benjamin Franklin

Leadership is an ever-evolving position.

Mike Krzyzewski

This war burns our houses. It sows dead executed in open squares and roads. It chases us like hares from refuge to refuge. It will end up by forcing us to fight, to wring out an active approval. And the day will come when nobody will be outside the war, neither cowards, nor the sad, nor the lonely...But I saw the unknown dead, dead members of the Italian Social Republic. If a stranger, an enemy becomes such a thing when he dies, if we stop dead fearing to step over him, it means that even the defeated enemy is someone who after spilling blood must be pacified. This blood must be given a voice and those who spilled it must be justified. It is humiliating to look at certain dead. They are not others

Cesare Pavese, House on the Hill

I don't think I even knew how big we were at the time. It was mad. I gained a lot through East 17 and I'm grateful for being able to have that experience.

Brian Harvey

When I was a little kid, I was really scared of the dark. But then I came to understand, dark just means the absence of photons in the visible wavelength—400 to 700 nanometers. Then I thought, well it’s really silly to be afraid of a lack of photons. Then I wasn’t afraid of the dark anymore after that.

Elon Musk

All those who are around me are the bridge to my success, so they are all important.

Manny Pacquiao

Science is too important not to be a part of popular culture.

Brian Cox (physicist)

Poetry reveals to us the loveliness of nature, brings back the freshness of youthful feelings, reviews the relish of simple pleasures, keeps unquenched the enthusiasm which warmed the springtime of our being, refines youthful love, strengthens our interest in human mature, by vivid delineations of its tenderest and softest feelings, and through the brightness of its prophetic visions, helps faith to lay hold on the future life.

William Ellery Channing

When I'm filming, survival requires movement. You need your energy, and you've got to eat the bad stuff, and survival food is rarely pretty, but you kind of do it. I get in that zone, and I eat the nasty stuff, but I'm not like that when I'm back home.
