Life, an age to the miserable, and a moment to the happy.

Francis Bacon

One of the inescapable encumbrances of leading an interesting life is that there have to be moments when you almost lose it.

Jimmy Buffett

Flexible working is not just for women with children. It is necessary at the other end of the scale. If people can move into part-time work, instead of retirement, then that will be a huge help.

David Puttnam

Common Sense is very uncommon.

Horace Greeley

I think beauty comes from within. If you're happy and look at life in the best way you can, even when there are problems, it can make you beautiful on the outside.

Joe E. Lewis

It is often said that before you die your life passes before your eyes. It is in fact true. It's called living.

Terry Pratchett

I think Democrats are right. We fight for the American dream, for the environment, for privacy rights, a woman's right to choose, a good public education system.

Barbara Boxer

If someday they say of me that in my work I have contributed something to the welfare and happiness of my fellow man, I shall be satisfied.

George Westinghouse

Nothing is more dangerous than an idea, when you only have one.
