Genius: the superhuman in man.

I still love doing what I do, and I'm really lucky to get up in the morning and want to go to work.

Heston Blumenthal

Come Sleep! Oh Sleep, the certain knot of peace, the baiting-place of wit, the balm of woe, the poor man's wealth, the prisoner's release, the indifferent judge between the high and low.

Sir Philip Sidney

I try to give to the poor people for love what the rich could get for money. No, I wouldn't touch a leper for a thousand pounds yet I willingly cure him for the love of God.

Mother Teresa

If a person lacks self-acceptance, he can't live with himself; if he lacks self-criticism, others can't live with him.

James Albert Pike

The past will be your teacher if you learn from it; your master if you live in it.

Steve Maraboli

Why is it so difficult for us to think in relative terms? Well, for the good reason that human nature loves absoluteness, and erroneously considers it as a state of higher knowledge.

Felix Alba-Juez

I don’t need an alarm clock. My ideas wake me.

Ray Bradbury

Germany must be a country which generates political ideas and leadership, which is capable of compromise, which is sovereign and yet knows that it needs its partners on both sides of the Atlantic.

Horst Koehler

From a commercial point of view, if Christmas did not exist it would be necessary to invent it.

Katharine Whitehorn

To permit this gross new revelation to fade, or be forgiven, would be to devalue our most essential standard of what constitutes the unpardonable. And for what? For the reputation of a man who turns out to be not even a Holocaust denier but a Holocaust affirmer. There has to be a moral limit, and either this has to be it or we must cease pretending to ourselves that we observe one.

Christopher Hitchens

Working in an office with an array of electronic devices is like trying to get something done at home with half a dozen small children around. The calls for attention are constant.

Marilyn vos Savant

I quite enjoy science fiction.
