David Cameron

No man is more than another unless he does more than another.

Miguel de Cervantes

Children, even infants, are capable of sympathy. But only after adolescence are we capable of compassion.

One of the most amazing things about mathematics is the people who do math aren't usually interested in application, because mathematics itself is truly a beautiful art form. It's structures and patterns, and that's what we love, and that's what we get off on.

Danica McKellar

If we resist our passions, it is more through their weakness than from our strength.

Francois de La Rochefoucauld

He is so old that his blood type was discontinued.

Bill Dana

Going to a concert can sometimes be very difficult. It can be a long journey. There's the ticket prices. But when the music goes to the community - not the community coming to the concert - they say, 'Wow! I didn't know that this music was so amazing!'

Gustavo Dudamel

Man will do many things to get himself loved, he will do all things to get himself envied.

Mark Twain

Jerry Saltz

Rose Tremain

A merciful person is merciful to their animals.

Bible

There has never been a protracted war from which a country has benefited.

Sun Tzu
