I've always wanted to be a dad.

Kris Allen

I want everyone to tell me the truth, even if it costs him his job.

Samuel Goldwyn

Is life worth living? It all depends on the liver.

William James

There is no human failure greater than to launch a profoundly important endeavor and then leave it half done. This is what the West has done with its colonial system. It shook all the societies in the world loose from their old moorings. But it seems indifferent whether or not they reach safe harbor in the end.

Dame Barbara Ward

The first and best victory is to conquer self; to be conquered by self is of all things most shameful and vile.

Plato

I do not want to go into its physical reasons: the construction of the human body is different from that of carnivorous animals. But man's intelligence is such that it can be utilised to defend any-thing he does, whether right or wrong.

Never give up on what you really want to do. The person with big dreams is more powerful than the one with all the facts.

Charles Dickens

Roses grow on thorns and honey wears a sting.

Isaac Watts

One should never confuse fashionable with beautiful

Beth Fantaskey

Let the world know you as you are, not as you think you should be, because sooner or later, if you are posing, you will forget the pose, and then where are you?

Fanny Brice
