Good manners will open doors that the best education cannot.

It seems like every time you come up something happens to bring you back down.

Tupac Shakur

Money is the sinews of love, as of war.

George Farquhar

Life is a series of diminishments. Each cessation of an activity either from choice or some other variety of infirmity is a death, a putting to final rest. Each loss, of friend or precious enemy, can be equated with the closing off of a room containing blocks of nerves and soon after the closing off the nerves atrophy and that part of oneself, in essence, drops away. The self is lightened, is held on earth by a gram less of mass and will.

Coleman Dowell

Friends are treasures.

Horace Bruns

Shame is worse than death.

Proverb

Persistence is the key to solving most mysteries.

Christopher Pike

The religions whose theology is least preoccupied with events in time and most concerned with eternity, have been consistently less violent and more humane in political practice. Unlike early Judaism, Christianity and Mohammedanism (all obsessed with time) Hinduism and Buddhism have never been persecuting faiths, have preached almost no holy wars and have refrained from that proselytizing religious imperialism which has gone hand in hand with political and economic oppression of colored people.

Aldous Huxley

I love to compete. That's the essence of who I am.

Tiger Woods

I wanted pure love: foolishness; to love one another is to hate a common enemy: I will thus espouse your hatred. I wanted Good: nonsense; on this earth and in these times, Good and Bad are inseparable: I accept to be evil in order to become good.

Jean Paul Sartre

When I think about the world I would like to leave to my daughter and the grandchildren I hope to have, it is a world that moves away from unequal, unstable, unsustainable interdependence to integrated communities - locally, nationally and globally - that share the characteristics of all successful communities.

William J. Clinton

Some men fish all their lives without knowing it is not really the fish they are after.

Henry David Thoreau

I try to become more humble and more myself with every year. There was a while when I got famous where I was so confused and my head was spinning.
