When I was growing up, particularly during puberty in my teen years, I was so miserable because I elicited so much teasing and meanness from my teenage cohorts.

I think the biggest difficulty is that when I'm here in America, there's a necessity of using English, so I really have a great sense of really wanting to learn, but unfortunately when I head back to Japan, the necessity vanishes and so does my enthusiasm about learning.

Chiaki Kuriyama

And you are to love those who are your aliens for you yourselves were aliens in Egypt. Deuteronomy 10:19

Bible

Don't worry that children never listen to you; worry that they are always watching you.

Robert Fulghum

The morality of compromise' sounds contradictory. Compromise is usually a sign of weakness, or an admission of defeat. Strong men don't compromise, it is said, and principles should never be compromised. I shall argue that strong men, conversely, know when to compromise and that all principles can be compromised to serve a greater principle.

Charles Handy

The Religion that is afraid of science dishonors God and commits suicide.

Ralph Waldo Emerson

There are nights when the wolves are silent and only the moon howls.

George Carlin

A guy named Charlie Beacham was my first mentor at Ford. He taught me the importance of the dealers, and he rubbed my nose in the retail business.

Lee Iacocca

Many a promising career has been wrecked by marrying the wrong sort of woman. The right sort of woman can distinguish between Creative Lassitude and plain shiftlessness.

Robertson Davies

Nothing is very strong: strong enough to steal away a man's best years not in sweet sins but in a dreary flickering of the mind over it knows not what and knows not why, in the gratification of curiosities so feeble that the man is only half aware of them, in drumming of fingers and kicking of heels, in whistling tunes that he does not like, or in the long, dim labyrinth of reveries that have not even lust or ambition to give them a relish, but which, once chance association has started them, the creature is took weak and fuddled to shake off.

C.S. Lewis

Nobody told me how hard and lonely change is.

Joan Gilbertson

Aging has a wonderful beauty and we should have respect for that.

Eartha Kitt

If he could only see how small a vacancy his death would leave, the proud man would think less of the place he occupies in his lifetime.

Jean Baptiste Legouve
