I am not a great theologian. I know there is a theological concept called invincible ignorance in which a strong enough faith binds you to any facts to the contrary.

I would fain grow old learning many things.

Plato

It's insecurity that is always chasing you and standing in the way of your dreams.

Vin Diesel

In Texas, years ago, almost all of the oil came from surface operations. Then someone got the idea that there were greater sources of supply deeper down. A well was drilled five thousand feet deep. The result? A gusher. Too many of us operate on the surface. We never go deep enough to find supernatural resources. The result is, we never operate at our best. More time and investment is involved to go deep but a gusher will pay off.

Alfred A. Montapert

They are amazing kids so we let them make decisions but also have discipline.

Kelly Preston

Knowledge is knowing that a tomato is a fruit; wisdom is knowing not to use it in a fruit salad.

Brian O'Driscoll

Hope is the denial of reality. It is the carrot dangled before the draft horse to keep him plodding along in a vain attempt to reach it.

Margaret Weis, Dragons of Winter

Ernest Hemingway

I know well the coequal role of the Congress in our constitutional process. I love the House of Representatives. I revere the traditions of the Senate despite my too-short internship in that great body. As President, within the limits of basic principles, my motto toward the Congress is communication, conciliation, compromise, and cooperation.

Gerald R. Ford

Every abuse ought to be reformed, unless the reform is more dangerous than the abuse itself.

Voltaire (FrançoisMarie Arouet)

Traveling makes men wiser, but less happy

Thomas Jefferson

A forest bird never wants a cage.

Henrik Ibsen

Hide your craziness behind a beautiful smile. That's all you need.

Paulo Coelho
