A good plan violently executed right now is far better than a perfect plan executed next week.

Truthful words are not beautiful beautiful words are not truthful. Good words are not persuasive persuasive words are not good.

Lao Tzu

People have to learn sometimes not only how much the heart, but how much the head, can bear.

Maria Mitchell

I love women, but I feel like you can't trust some of them. Some of them are liars, you know? Like I was in the park and I met this girl, she was cute and she had a dog. And I went up to her, we started talking. She told me her dog's name. Then I said, 'Does he bite?' She said, 'No.' And I said, 'Oh yeah? Then how does he eat?' Liar.

Demetri Martin

Creativity involves breaking out of established patterns in order to look at things in a different way.

Edward de Bono

It is worth noting that a wrong folkoric definition of an Inertial Frame in the Popular Science literature (even in text books) reads that 'it is a frame in uniform motion'. We know very well by now that the idea of motion requires a frame of reference, so that such a definition of an Inertial Frame has no meaning whatsoever, confusing the reader because it tacitly reaffirms the idea of absolute motion -- when the goal of every didactic exposition of Relativity Theory should be precisely the opposite.

Felix Alba-Juez

Life ought to be a struggle of desire toward adventures whose nobility will fertilize the soul.

Rebecca West

One must pass through the circumference of time before arriving at the center of opportunity.

Baltasar Gracian

I love the whole makeup of men - that they never mature and are always just boys.

Krista Allen

All nationalisms are at heart deeply concerned with names: with the most immaterial and original human invention. Those who dismiss names as a detail have never been displaced; but the peoples on the peripheries are always being displaced. That is why they insist upon their continuity -- their links with their dead and the unborn.

John Berger

I was in the room with, you know, more than a dozen Republicans trying to negotiate the stimulus. Most of them decided the politics of the situation meant they should walk away, even if it wasn't responsible in terms of what our country needed right then.

Claire McCaskill

Victory becomes, to some degree, a state of mind. Knowing ourselves superior to the anxieties, troubles, and worries which obsess us, we are superior to them.

Basil King

Don't serve time, make time serve you
