Habit is habit, and not to be flung out of the window by any man, but coaxed downstairs a step at a time.

I concede!

Richard Milhous Nixon

Happiness seems made to be shared.

Pierre Corneille

An ant on the move does more than a dozing ox.

Lao Tzu

We have in fact, two kinds of morality, side by side: one that we preach, but do not practice, and another that we practice, but seldom preach.

Bertrand Russell

Growing up, my sisters and I would always talk stories. One of my frustrations was I didn't know anything about cameras. I didn't know how to make a film and I obviously didn't have a special effects budget. I was a kid. So I was learning to draw to get down the stuff that was in my head, that I couldn't afford to actually do.

Jennifer Yuh Nelson

I no longer agree to treat myself with disrespect. Every time a self-critical thought comes to mind, I will forgive the Judge and follow this comment with words of praise, self-acceptance, and love.

Miguel Ruiz

The walls are the publishers of the poor.

Eduardo Galeano

It's not politically correct to say that you love one child more than you love your others. I love of my kids, period, and they're all your favorites in different ways. But ask any parent who's been through some kind of crisis surrounding a child--a health scare, an academic snarl, an emotional problem--and we will tell you the truth. When something upends the equilibrium--when one child needs you more than the others--that imbalance becomes a black hole. You may never admit it out loud, but the one you love the most is the one who needs you more desperately than his siblings. What we really hope is that each child gets a turn. That we have deep enough reserves to be there for each of them, at different times.All this goes to hell when two of your children are pitted against each other, and both of them want you on their side.

Jodi Picoult

In science there are no 'depths'; there is surface everywhere.

Rudolf Carnap

Learning about all those different things psychologically - about grief and my own addictions and problems and stuff like that, and really getting an education on it, I think it was part of the process of it, learning about it and trying to lick it.

Richie Sambora

People don't come to church for preachments, of course, but to daydream about God.

Kurt Vonnegut

Of all the roles I've played, none has been as fulfilling as being a mother.

Annette Funicello
