It's all in how you arrange the thing... the careful balance of the design is the motion.

Andrew Wyeth

What is ominous is the ease with which some people go from saying that they don't like something to saying that the government should forbid it. When you go down that road, don't expect freedom to survive very long.

Thomas Sowell

What you call life is but a dream, and reality is relative.

Wayne Gerard Trotman

If you talk to a man in a language he understands, that goes to his head. If you talk to him in his language, that goes to his heart.

Nelson Mandela

George Eliot

What they do in heaven we are ignorant of; what they do not do we are told expressly.

Jonathan Swift

Let one who wants to move and convince others, first be convinced and moved themselves. If a person speaks with genuine earnestness the thoughts, the emotion and the actual condition of their own heart, others will listen because we all are knit together by the tie of sympathy.

Thomas Carlyle

Alfred Hitchcock

Houston, it looks like we got us a Dragon by the tail.

Don Pettit

In the fourth grade, my history teacher gave us a project: Why was the auto industry located in Detroit, Michigan?

Mark Zandi

We cannot really love anybody with whom we never laugh.

Agnes Repplier

Dictators never invent their own opportunities.
