GATHER ye rosebuds while ye may, Old time is still a-flying : And this same flower that smiles to-day To-morrow will be dying.The glorious lamp of heaven, the sun, The higher he's a-getting,The sooner will his race be run, And nearer he's to setting.That age is best which is the first, When youth and blood are warmer ; But being spent, the worse, and worst Times still succeed the former.Then be not coy, but use your time, And while ye may go marry : For having lost but once your prime You may for ever tarry.

A muscle is like a car. If you want it to run well early in the morning, you have to warm it up.

Florence Griffith Joyner

We have to challenge the whole idea that it's acceptable for a society like Britain to have such a significant number of people who do not work one day of the week and don't have any possibility of improving the quality of their lives.

Iain Duncan Smith

Politics is show business for ugly people.

Paul Begala

We know more about war than we know about peace, more about killing than we know about living.

Omar N. Bradley

I have maintained a passionate interest in education, which leads me occasionally to make foolish and ill-considered remarks alleging that not everything is well in our schools.

Philip Pullman

He that will not apply new remedies, must expect new evils: for Time is the greatest innovator: and if Time, of course, alter things to the worse, and wisdom and counsel shall not alter them to the better, what shall be the end?.

Francis Bacon

I believe that whatever we do or live for has its causality; it is good, however, that we cannot see through to it.

Albert Einstein

High-performing people set goals religiously and track them religiously. They obsess about whether they're hitting or missing those goals, and why. If you don't set and track goals, life just passes you by.

Cameron Herold

Most people are other people. Their thoughts are someone else's opinions, their lives a mimicry, their passions a quotation.

Oscar Wilde

A horse a horse my kingdom for a horse

William Shakespeare

Journalism without a moral position is impossible. Every journalist is a moralist. It's absolutely unavoidable. A journalist is someone who looks at the world and the way it works, someone who takes a close look at things every day and reports what she sees, someone who represents the world, the event, for others. She cannot do her work without judging what she sees.

Marguerite Duras

Through want of enterprise and faith men are where they are, buying and selling and spending their lives like servants.

Henry David Thoreau
