Great works are performed not by strength but by perseverance.

If you done it, it ain't bragging.

Walt Whitman

The juvenile sea squirt wanders through the sea searching for a suitable rock or hunk of coral to cling to and make its home for life. For this task, it has a rudimentary nervous system. When it finds its spot and takes root, it doesn't need its brain anymore so it eats it!

Daniel Dennett

As fire when thrown into water is cooled down and put out, so also a false accusation when brought against a man of the purest and holiest character, boils over and is at once dissipated, and vanishes and threats of heaven and sea, himself standing unmoved.

Marcus Tullius Cicero

The buck stops here.

Harry S Truman

But I'm not like sad, depressed miserable person. I guess sometimes I give off that impression.

Edward Furlong

You have to make peace with yourself. The key is to find the harmony in what you have.

Naomi Watts

My gosh, I love food. If I wasn't an actor, I could be a completely different body shape right now.

Hugh Jackman

Truth does not become more true by virtue of the fact that the entire world agrees with it, nor less so even if the whole world disagrees with it.

Maimonides

My wife's jealousy is getting ridiculous. The other day she looked at my calendar and wanted to know who May was.

Rodney Dangerfield

A democracy which makes or even effectively prepares for modern, scientific war must necessarily cease to be democratic. No country can be really well prepared for modern war unless it is governed by a tyrant, at the head of a highly trained and perfectly obedient bureaucracy.

Aldous Huxley

When one door closes, another opens. But we often look so regretfully upon the closed door that we don't see the one that has opened for us.

Helen Keller

The first question at that time in poetry was simply the question of honesty, of sincerity.

George Oppen
