Give fools their gold, and knaves their power; Let fortune's bubbles rise and fall; Who sows a field, or trains a flower, Or plants a tree, is more than all.

To buy happiness is to sell soul.

Douglas Horton

It's hard for us in our stores to be a leader in technology.

Lee Scott

Provided that nothing like useful knowledge could be gained from them, provided they were all story and no reflection, she had never any objection to books at all.

Jane Austen

Being a good Hans Haacke student, part of his influence on me is that there's no difference between a gallery show and a film - or even an ad and a T-shirt-in terms of cultural legitimacy. They're just different contexts in which to have some sort of communication.

Mike Mills

When you enter the House of God, you leave your ego at the door and embrace purity as if your life depended on it.

Sufian Chaudhary

When asked, How do you write? I invariably answer, one word at a time.

Stephen King

It seems to have favored the exploitation of human beings rather than their enlightenment.

Claude LeviStrauss

Third issue, and again I think it is important to note, anyone can make a mistake and any administration can make a mistake once in a while, but this is just a long train of abuses, an unbroken chain of following special interests rather than the health of the American people.

Jay Inslee

It is man's social nature which distinguishes him from the brute creation. If it is his privilege to be independent, it is equally his duty to be inter-dependent. Only an arrogant man will claim to be independent of everybody else and be self-contained.

Mahatma Gandhi

I've finally learnt how to say, 'No comment'. To appear in the tabloids is a real learning curve and a steep one at that. You had better learn quick or you get burnt.

Ben Affleck

To succeed it is necessary to accept the world as it is and rise above it.

Michael Korda

Outward beauty is a true sign of inner goodness. This loveliness, indeed, is impressed upon the body in varying degrees as a token by which the soul can be recognized for what it is, just as with trees the beauty of the blossom testifies to the goodness of the fruit.

Baldassare Castiglione
