To be good is noble; but to show others how to be good is nobler and no trouble.

I planned my success. I knew it was going to happen.

Erykah Badu

I maintain that when I finally retire from my career in music, I will go and live back in Wales - when I am an old person, if I live to be an old person. The water I miss, and the air, there's something different about it. And I miss the simple life.

Ellie Goulding

The sky calls to us. If we do not destroy ourselves, we will one day venture to the stars.

Carl Sagan

Technology is similarly just a catalyst at times for fundamental forces already present.

Scott Cook

All the worlds a stage,And all the men and women merely players. They have their exits and their entrances,And one man in his time plays many parts,His acts being seven ages. At first the infant,Mewling and puking in the nurses arms. Then the whining school-boy, with his satchelAnd shining morning face, creeping like snailUnwillingly to school. And then the lover,Sighing like furnace, with a woeful balladMade to his mistress eyebrow. Then a soldier,Full of strange oaths, and bearded like the pard,Jealous in honour, sudden, and quick in quarrel,Seeking the bubble reputationEven in the cannons mouth. And then the justice,In fair round belly with good capon lind,With eyes severe and beard of formal cut,Full of wise saws and modern instances;And so he plays his part. The sixth age shiftsInto the lean and slipperd pantaloon dotard,With spectacles on nose and pouch on side,His youthful hose, well savd, a world too wideFor his shrunk shank; and his big manly voice,Turning again toward childish treble, pipesAnd whistles in his sound. Last scene of all,That ends this strange eventful history,Is second childishness and mere oblivion,Sans teeth, sans eyes, sans taste, sans every thing.

William Shakespeare

You want to come home to a nice firm bed with the corners tucked in so you start over, like each night is like a new night.

Gabrielle Union

You've got certain guys that just want to be famous and then you've got the real musicians that just love playing music.

Zakk Wylde

But who would rush at a benighted man, and give him two black eyes for being blind?

Thomas Hood

If you would persuade, you must appeal to interest rather than intellect.

Benjamin Franklin

If Socialism can only be realized when the intellectual development of all the people permits it, then we shall not see Socialism for at least five hundred years.

Lenin (Vladimir Ulyanov)

With an evening coat and a white tie, anybody, even a stock broker, can gain a reputation for being civilized.

Oscar Wilde

My address is like my shoes. It travels with me. I abide where there is a fight against wrong.
