Give me a spirit that on this life's rough sea Loves t' have his sails fill'd with a lusty wind, Even till his sail-yards tremble, his masts crack, And his rapt ship run on her side so low That she drinks water, and her keel plows air.

It's a strange world of language in which skating on thin ice can get you into hot water.

Franklin P. Jones

To hate man and love god seems to be the sum of all creeds.

Robert G. Ingersoll

Americans will listen, but they do not care to read. War and Peace must wait for the leisure of retirement, which never really comes: meanwhile it helps to furnish the living room. Blockbusting fiction is bought as furniture. Unread, it maintains its value. Read, it looks like money wasted. Cunningly, Americans know that books contain a person, and they want the person, not the book.

Anthony Burgess

I wore goofy hats to school and did musical theater. Most people thought I was a dork. But if you have a sense of humor about it, no one can bring you down.

Zac Efron

And when I look at my mother, I reflect on her strength and endurance. She's cranky sometimes, but she is lovable and loving. I'd be happy to be there at 86.

Lisa Scottoline

Within the hearts men, loyalty and consideration are esteemed greater than success.

Bryant H. McGill

No enterprise can exist for itself alone. It ministers to some great need, it performs some great service, not for itself, but for others; or failing therein, it ceases to be profitable and ceases to exist.

Calvin Coolidge

If we all worked on the assumption that what is accepted as true is really true, there would be little hope of advance.

Orville Wright

Not every difficult and dangerous thing is suitable for training, but only that which is conducive to success in achieving the object of our effort.

Epictetus

Teaching the layperson (divulgare) is not distorting (tergiversare) the subject, but educating the public; and it is our duty as scientists to educate without distorting the essence of the scientific knowledge attained by humanity. The future of our society depends upon this premise.

Felix Alba-Juez

Success, n. The one unpardonable sin against one's fellows.

Ambrose Bierce

What we have is North Korea still pursuing path to a nuclear weapon state. So the majority of people's trust in North Korea has gone down considerably.
