The great and abiding lesson of American history, particularly the cold war, is that the engine of capitalism, the individual, is mightier than any collective.

I think most people believe success in government is how many fewer people are in government, not because you kick them off of benefits like unemployment but they've been able to control their own destiny because private sector employers have created more jobs.

Scott Walker

The drama's altar isn't on the stage: it is candle-sticked and flowered in the box office. There is the gold, though there be no frankincense or myrrh; and the gospel for the day always The Play will Run for a Year. The Dove of Inspiration, of the desire for inspiration, has flown away from it; and on it's roof, now, the commonplace crow caws candidly.

Sean O'Casey

This is the very perfection of a man, to find out his own imperfections.

Saint Augustine of Hippo

A little integrity is better than any career

Ralph Waldo Emerson

And by the way, everything in life is writable about if you have the outgoing guts to do it, and the imagination to improvise. The worst enemy to creativity is self-doubt.

Sylvia Plath

There's a higher form of happiness in commitment. I'm counting on it.

Claire Forlani

No humorist is under any obligation to provide answers and probably if you were to delve into the literary history of humour it's probably all about not providing answers because the humorist essentially says: this is the way things are.

P. J. O'Rourke

Never again will I underestimate the greatness inside of me just because of the hate and limited thinking inside of others.

Steve Maraboli

I will show you fear in a handful of dust.

TS (Thomas Stearns) Eliot

Being in a ship is being in a jail, with the chance of being drowned.

Samuel Johnson

There is no longer a single idea explaining everything, but an infinite number of essences giving a meaning to an infinite number of objects. The world comes to a stop, but also lights up.

Albert Camus

Character is power it makes friends, draws patronage and support and opens the way to wealth, honor and happiness.

John Howe
