Get away from the crowd when you can. Keep yourself to yourself, if only for a few hours daily.

I believe in the fundamental truth of all great religions of the world.

Mahatma Gandhi

The deed is everything, the glory nothing.

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

You know, I always got offered other stuff. Not the romantic leads, obviously. But very often it's a role that's underwritten, where the character has no personality at all. And they need a character actor who can fill it in.

Harvey Fierstein

To laugh often and much; to win the respect of intelligent people and the affection of children; to earn the appreciation of honest critics and endure the betrayal of false friends; to appreciate beauty; to find the best in others; to leave the world a bit better, whether by a healthy child, a garden patch or a redeemed social condition; to know even one life has breathed easier because you have lived. This is to have succeeded.

Ralph Waldo Emerson

He that flatters you more than you desire either has deceived you or wishes to deceive.

Italian Proverb

I remember lying down for a nap one day at about 4:00 and walking up at 11:00 the next morning.

April Winchell

Look how many millions of people are underemployed or have lost their jobs. The last thing I'm going to do is play politics with their future.

Lindsey Graham

Work for the fun of it, and the money will arrive some day.

Ronnie Milsap

What makes the production of my work so expensive? The whole installation thing - the construction, the objects, the technology. It really adds up.

Barbara Kruger

Poverty was the greatest motivating factor in my life.

If God had wanted me otherwise, He would have created me otherwise.

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

God will not let any violence go unpunished, but He Himself will take vengeance on our enemies and will send home to them what they have deserved by the way they have treated us. As He Himself says (Deut. 23:55): Vengeance is Mine, I will repay. On the basis of this, St. Paul admonishes the Christians (Rom. 12:19): Never avenge yourselves, but leave it to the wrath of God. These words are not only instruction but also consolation, as if He were to say: Do not take it upon yourselves to avenge yourselves on one another or to speak curses and maledictions. The person that does you harm or injury is interfering with the office of God and sinning against God as gravely as this man has sinned against you. Therefore, keep your fist to yourself. Leave it to the charge of His wrath and punishing, for He will not let it remain unavenged, and His punishment is more severe than you would like. This man has not assailed you but God Himself, and has already fallen into His wrath. He will not escape this. No one ever has. So why get angry with him when the anger of God, immensely greater and more severe than the anger and punishment of the whole world, has already come upon him and has already avenged itself more thoroughly than you ever could? Besides, he has not injured you one tenth as much as he has injured God. When you see him lying under the severe condemnation, why so many curses and threats of vengeance? Rather you should take pity on his plight, and pray for him to be rescued from it and to reform.

Martin Luther King Jr.
