He was growing up. Soon he would be a man. He wondered what that would mean. Surely he could not have more required of him as an adult that had been required of him as a child. There could not be more.

Whenever a man has cast a longing eye on offices, a rottenness begins in his conduct.

Thomas Jefferson

That what is true of business and politics is gloriously true of the professions, the arts and crafts, the sciences, the sports. That the best picture has not yet been painted; the greatest poem is still unsung; the mightiest novel remains to be written; the divinest music has not been conceived even by Bach. In science, probably ninety-nine percent of the knowable has to be discovered. We know only a few streaks about astronomy. We are only beginning to imagine the force and composition of the atom. Physics has not yet found any indivisible matter, or psychology a sensible soul.

Lincoln Steffens

With integrity, you have nothing to fear, since you have nothing to hide. With integrity, you will do the right thing, so you will have no guilt.

Zig Ziglar

Because I just like sports, I like athletics and I like competition.

Trishelle Cannatella

On the whole, I prefer Christmas as an adult than I did as a child.

Nigella Lawson

Cruelty has a Human Heart, And jealousy a Human Face; Terror the Human Form Divine, And secrecy the Human Dress. The Human Dress is forged Iron, The Human Form a Fiery Forge, The Human Face a Furnace seal d, The Human Heart its hungry gorge.

William Blake

Marriage, for a woman at least, hampers the two things that made life to me glorious -- friendship and learning.

Jane Harrison

This fascination with computer models is something I understand very well. Richard Feynmann called it a disease. I fear he is right.

Michael Crichton

Get me a drink, or I'll tell you I love you. I'll wake you up in an hour or two, crooning, all sloppy and maudlin, tell you I love you really. You'd like that, right? Hearing Momma tell you she loves you? Isn't that what you want, deep inside?

Arthur M. Jolly

Sometimes you deal with the devil not because you want to, but because if you don't, someone else will.

Laurell K Hamilton

But men are so full of greed today, they'll sell anything for a little piece of money.

Little Richard

The man who stands by and says nothing, when the peril of his government is discussed, can not be misunderstood. If not hindered, he is sure to help the enemy.

Abraham Lincoln
