History as well as life itself is complicated -- neither life nor history is an enterprise for those who seek simplicity and consistency.

Mankind differs from the animals only by a little and most people throw that away.

Confucius

I am a passionate traveler, and from the time I was a child, travel formed me as much as my formal education.

David Rockefeller

I've always had an interest in sports across the board.

Gabrielle Union

To injure an opponent is to injure yourself. To control aggression without inflicting injury is the Art of Peace.

Morihei Ueshiba

I love Christmas. Frosty the Snowman, peace on Earth and mangers, Salvation Army bell ringers and reindeer, the movie 'Meet Me in St. Louis,' office parties and cookies.

Mo Rocca

Inner beauty should be the most important part of improving one's self.

Priscilla Presley

I am a grandmother now, and that means age is creeping on, creeping on.

Lillie Langtry

Work consists of whatever a body is obliged to do, and play consists of whatever a body is not obliged to do.

Mark Twain

When strength is yoked with justice, where is a mightier pair than they?

Aeschylus

People forget they have options. And they forget that those things don't really matter. They should concentrate on what they have and not what they don't have.

Jim Carrey
